Got back to playing Sonic Mania, you ponies should play that one more often, especially the DLC with Mighty and Ray in it

Chris? As annoying as he can be, I wonder if he would be worse than Sarah from the Sonic OAV. XD

Sonic Prime will deal with a multiverse plot, so I could say it’s possible…. If not where for his overall lack of popularity . And also, it appears Shannon Chan Lent will indeed voice Amy

Found out there’s a third pony in the Sonic film

I would have thought Sonic Origins being successful would have been a very easy thing for SEGA to do. Somehow, they managed to fail even that.

Though I will say, as someone who played the CD-ROM version of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, the songs for Carnival, Ice Cap and Launch Base zone in Sonic Origins sound normal to me, and the original songs from the SEGA Genesis version sound strange to me.

Tell me more about how they failed Sonic Origins? I am just curious. I haven’t played it.

Among the points I remember, people have been reporting the prevalence of game bugs, performance issues and unfavorable DRM system. One of the development teams have made public statements about how they were not given enough time to make the game be in a sufficiently stable state. Also not helping SEGA's case is that they have removed the original listings for Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knucles, and Sonic CD from Steam. Currently, the Steam page for Sonic Origins has a mixed rating.

Oh no. That is the price for replacing classics with inaccurate games. I know this feeling well. Thank you for the information!

It's been awhile.  I'm actually kind of surprised this hasn't been posted yet.  But yeah, here you go.

Made me watch this:

 

 

Fans are indeed not being happy. Normally when you have fans working on Sonic, other fans would be happy, or at least supportable, so there must be another source of problems here.

People have pointed out that this is particularly bad since the Sonic movies have been fairly successful; this could have been an opportunity for SEGA to introduce the game series to a large new audience. Obviously, this is not helping. Hopefully Sonic Frontiers does well, though, from the last time I check, there are quite a bit of concerns with that game also.

I feel like Sega has also changed. They were going good but that got greedy.

 

I noticed some bugs like the loops in Chemical Plant. Knowing how that level works, knowing what they tried to do to cut corners instead of coming up with a good solution, it is kinda sad. If you are remaking the original Sonic games, they need to only be better, never worse. Absolutely NEVER worse. It is an insult to us core fans.

I loved the Sonic games as a kid, they were fun!

Heard of the failure of Origins...so much sadface.

As a major Sonic fan I'm trying to remain optimistic, but after SO MANY recent failures, even I'm beginning to lose hope...

Origins are really not going to get better. I have looked through most bugs myself, and there are faults within the entire game system. Sonic 3 & Knuckles might be the only one that could be fixed because it was worked on by a professional Sonic developer. Still, that would not fix that game. It will be forever remembered like Sonic 1 GBA.
