Quote:New directions? Well... if they're good ideas... but how is 'let's make Sonic world be the real world and have him visit cities' a good idea?
I agree in that throwing cuddly-but-in-your-face-animals into a ghetto type of environment a la GTA is a cheap cash-out, but maybe this could become fun in a ridiculous-plot-and-characters-in-an-ultraviolent-comic-book sorta way. Kind of like Conker's Bad Fur Day, only not clever or original (not that satires are that original, but you catch my drift).
Quote:it's like taking the weaker aspect of the Sonic Adventure games -- the 'real-world' one -- and giving it even MORE prominence! Sure, once in a while a level with an urban setting is fun... but still... guns, cars, the other stuff they pull... not so much.
Good point. I suppose all the disgruntled Sonic fans can always go back to SA 1 & 2 (I heard the die-hard fans loved 2 because it was so difficult), Heroes, the old sidescrollers, etc. Nostalgia's funny that way... if people get too caught up in it, they won't like change or growth (though I suppose you can't consider this new direction to be much of "growth" :S).
