Sonic to get a fresh start in 2012

With Sonic Generations Sonic Team admirably took almost everything that didn’t suck about the past 20 years of the blue blur’s career and put it in one game. Even Sonic’s own reaction to the events and character reveals seemed to reflect fan frustration with the direction the series has taken over the years. It’s the perfect end of an era for Sonic, which is likely why producer Takashi Iizuka told Gamasutra that he’s ready for the series to take a new direction. He goes on to state that by now, it seems pretty clear what a Sonic game should be, but he still wishes to surprise his fans “in a good way,” citing the powerups in Sonic Colors as a good example. Fans will certainly be happy to hear that small changes like that are the extent to which Takashi plans on modifying the Sonic formula.

There’s no single-player action game from the last twenty years that I enjoy as much as Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries. There are games that I think are better. There are games that are more important. But Mercenaries is the rare action
