For now I will stay cautiously optimistic.

Children, primarily and consistently. Even Sonic Boom ended up selling well I believe.

The "Generations was good" meme is among the most insidious.

It was genuinely fun? It's up there with Colors? I could go fast with nothing stopping me except my lack of skill?

I thought about it but that requires effort so...

Certainly not me, but I'm also not interested in selling my copy of Adventure 2. Total crap voice acting but it's a genuinely challenging game. Or maybe I just suck? Combination of the two, probably.

Also, Colors actually looked pretty fun. Never actually played it though.

[2Bad]

Colors is the only good 3D one, and indeed the only one I'd call notable at all (outside historical value) since even the"good" 2D ones are mediocre platformers.

But it doesn't really matter since, as I said, kids buy them sanics. The series and spinoffs are consistently profitable and Sega has no reason to hit the breaks because kids don't give a shit.

[Draconic]

True. Doesn't mean they don't occasionally hit something good. Keyword–occasionally. I still remember the cluster****s that were Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic & the Secret Rings, Sonic Unleashed, the rest of the 'storybook' series…

You haven't played until you've played through Sonic 3 and Knuckles on PC with one keyboard and player one on qwerty and player 2 on numpad
Naturally, pressing too many keys at once invalidates other inputs

It's a masterpiece

...*raises hand*

[Mattias]

I'm completely on board for another 2D Sonic game. Or Freedom Planet 2.

[eddyak]

I had that one Sonic game on Dreamcast. Other than that, I never saw the point.

Because what kind of weirdo owns a Sega Genesis and no Sonic games?

It's time to become a dragon for the last time.
