What do you want in a STH game?

[goldtaills 3]

I feel like doing a Sonic heroes type thing mixed in with Sonic Adventure 2 style. Having Knuckles with his Chaotix, Shadow with Rouge and Omega in Gun, and Sonic with Tails and Amy all having their own story-lines that intertwine every now and again, and then (as expected) come together for a final story and battle Eggman or whatever the diabolical villain is. Each story can have different play styles and stage types to match how they would interact with one another, like Shadow and Sonics stories would pretty much be like Sonic heroes in terms of switching between characters to get through certain areas, and then Knuckles Chaotix group could be a choose 2 to go through the level so that players can always have their favorites, yet some levels have certain things you need certain characters to complete to add replayability, such as needing Knuckles and mighty as a pair to break down a wall to a secret area, or Espio to sneak through somewhere and what not. I say through in 10 levels for each story for a total of 30, maybe 3-6 for final act so that each group has a stage + the final battle. Sorry if this seems little over-specific, but it just came to me as I typed it.

its fine :) I did a similar thing awhile back on another site. Only it wasn't a forum site and i did it on a journal post.and that was probably two years ago.

and i'd have to agree on the heroes and SA2 story writing type for a sonic game. I liked those stories most.

There is absolutly nothing to add after what knux said. Period.

Referring to what Goldtaills said in how the Sonic cast could help, the answer is simple... THEY BECOME TRANSFORMERS!!!!! Wheeljack and Perceptor could invent a machine that takes the minds off the Sonic cast and transfer it into Cybertronian protoforms. Like Sonic transforming into a Lamborgini for example

I completely agree with the admin. I've seen his posts in the trash, and it does look like he's overdoing it. Maybe he can try putting those kind of posts in the party forum's Last to Post Wins topic or whatever.

And with Sonic games, I'm not sure. I just go with the flow. I'm happy that SEGA has learned to live with failure.

Personally, I'd ask them to put Antoine and Bunnie in the games with their new attires. The coyote's skittishness will add some zest, not to mention an accent that will probably annoy Knuckles. And we can't have the coyote without his Southern Belle, can we? I would like them to appear in Mario & Sonic 2016 Rio Olympics or whatever. Two words: fencing and martial arts.

I feel like if they made a game that was based on the comics, it would have to be a massive mmorpg or a long term project with a series of games. They gotta stop throwing in characters out of the blue with no background knowledge besides either extremely old games or only a few comic sections. When Team chaotix came out in Sonic heroes, I had no idea who the hell they were because I was a kid who didn't know Sonic until I was 5 and sonic adventure was on the dreamcast, and I actually got the comics until around 150 came out, and even then I never read before 150 until I found this site (I love this place so much). If they plan on adding in a bunch of comic characters, I think they need a complete reset in that category and arch it off from the games they make now.

[E-124Gonzo 1]

That sounds like a great idea Knuckles. If they were to do those, and if they did them right it could give Sega a much needed boost. But I still want the Transformers crossover guys!

[Lena Stan Account 60]

What about a pokemon and sonic crossover?

[E-124Gonzo 1]

Ehhhhh that won't work to well, but what do I know

[Chromatic Terras 20]

I'd say he has to do an actual game with Mario if there's gonna be a crossover. It would be the weirdest thing ever but if they decide to cross, that's where its gotta be. Or i guess megaman too since they already comicafied that.

[Delicious echidna 53]

A mario and sonic crossover ? An actual gale with a real gameplay and a story ? I like it...

[Chromatic Terras 20]

That would be hard, considering how Mario typically doesn't have voice wheras Sonic is known for its talkative cutscenes and stuff. It would make Sonic seem boring that nobody talks, and Mario seem weird if they gave them a voice. Plus Eggman and Bowser aren't exactly two villains I can see truly teaming up (even if they do betray each other) to fight Mario and Sonic. Plus the level designs would be extremely hard to create since Sonic is all speed and Mario doesn't really have power-ups to make him that fast. to put either of them in the same playing field as the other would be awkward also. It's like a 50/50 with anything Sonic does if they don't have high paced action as well cause it's so specific on how you can do it that it just becomes a point where it's either right or wrong. With Megaman, he had enemies that could combat his speed, as well as his allies which gave a challenge, and Megaman was just being Megaman so it was cool. I can't see how they could cross Mario in any way without separating the two game styles which at that point is worthless in terms of defining the crossover. I know that contradicts my thing of Sonic heroes play style a few posts back, but that's a different story since its all in one franchise. When putting two together, I think they should pretty much force the two to cooperate at times to show it's actually a thing, rather than just boss battles and all the stages are separate.

I'm going to be in before Sonic and Fzero crossover.

[goldtaills 3]

Sonic and mario crossover? *gets reminded of Super Mario Bros Z* YES.

[Danny Felixe 330]

I would certainly be interested to see a Mario and Sonic crossover, and it does seem like a possibility that could happen

[Delicious echidna 53]

Or not . Sega said That only three sonic games would be exclusive to the Wii U.

So far we got sonic Lost world. But does Sonic at the olympics and sonic in bros count too?

[E-124Gonzo 1]

A Super Mario Bros Z-type crossover.......... Genius!

[Chromatic Terras 20]

I don't think Smash and the Olympics count. Not only were they Nintendo exclusive anyway, but it's crossovers between Companies. I Think they mean strictly Sega made Sonic games are going to be exclusives. Like many people have already guessed, it may be another story book type game like the Secret rings and the Black knight, although I don't know many story books so I have no hunch on what's next. Hopefully the 3rd game is one with multiple playable characters again.

[goldtaills 3]

Yeah. I liked playing as more than one character.

Oh which reminds me, i'd also like a game with some good easter eggs and unlockables.

Like how Sonic Adventure DX (not sure about regular Sonic Adventure) you could unlock other games like Sonic Chaos to play.

(Also, did we already mention Chao Garden...?)

[Delicious echidna 53]

When you say sonic adventure DX , and easter eggs, the first thing that come in my mind is "Cream the rabbit :D"

Appart from that, as long as we have a casino zone with a pinball and some good music , I'll be in .

[Chromatic Terras 20]

Any game with a chao garden is awsome in my book.

[E-124Gonzo 1]

Let's actually have a Sonic/Megaman crossover. We had the comics now let's play it.

Let's get the Sonic and Megaman crossover going. We had the comics, now let's make the game a reality

[goldtaills 3]

Hmm, I don't mind the idea of that one. Its just going to be very interesting and diverse gameplay. The story can be eggman messing with dimensions and finds megaman's dimension or something or like that.

...and I just imagined megaman petting a chao. whydidbrainwhat--

[E-124Gonzo 1]

Maybe so, but Capcom is treading on thin ice by only releasing a plethora of Street fighter 4 remakes. Sad to say, as awesome it would be we might not see that.

[goldtaills 3]

Well capcom will be capcom.

now...anybody else have any ideas for what they want in a STH game?
