Sonic may suck nowadays... But if you're as old as I am and remember when the first proper consoles came out, and Sonic was a packaged title... Ya kinda inherently grow a certain fondness for the ole blue spikey lil' dude and his games of the past!

In saying that tho... I'm kinda disappointed in the way that the Sonic franchise has been revived to date! It's all a bit... I dunno... kinda trying to bring it too far forward into the 3rd dimension way too soon! A bit too extreme if you like! What I'd like to see from a new game or even a mod about Sonic is something in between! Something that maintains the feeling of gameplay as the oldies but still modern. (if ya get my meaning?)... Maybe something in the 2.5D realm in the 3rd person perspective? As for an FPS based on Sonic?... I honestly cant see it working in a way that players would enjoy it, let alone relate to it!

Anyway, that's just my own opinion and my two cents! I'll end my rant right about now! lolz! XD

There's already a sonic mod being made for the source engine. It actually plays like sonic too, not a first person shooter still.

Biggest mistake Sega ever made, allowing Sega Japan to control everything. They destroyed Sega and Sonic. At the time that Sega Japan took over Sega America was developing Sonic Mars - aka SonicSatAM the Game (it was going to be considered a remake of Sonic 1), this would later become Sonic Xtreme for the Sega Saturn. Unfortunately at this point in time Sega Japan got pissed off with Sega America and said "ok you guys can't make sonic games anymore... we're going to hand it over to Sonic Team in japan" (who btw are known for all the terrible sonic games.. they never produced even one good sonic game outside of the first 4 which were collaborative efforts with America's team.)

The first sign things were going bad with Sonic was when Sonic Team rebranded him, changing his eye colour and overall look to appeal to a more younger demographic, however they want stupidly insane with sonics 1990s "I'm so cool" attitude (or Baditude.) and the result is one abnoxious idiot of a character that no one can like.. Then they started to add new side-kicks ALL from the japanese side of sonic, none of it from the American (aka Sally, Bunny Rabot, Rotor, Antoine.) replacing them all with IMO terrible characters such as Shadow the Hedgehog (what metal wasn't bad ass enough?), Chaos, Cream and several other cahracters that are just so god damn awful I don't even want to meantion right now- fact is there's just too god damn many of them- and where sonicSatAM was about the "freedom fighters" and it made sense to have such a big character centric cast, Sonic Adventure (or SonicX as its known as) was more about Sonic being a moron super man character that would bail the human race out of trouble when shit hit the fan (usually in the shape of robotnik.. err.. Egg man sorry.. Stupid japanese should've never changed his name back to the original.)

SatAM made sense of everything that sonic was about, and even more so treated its auidence like it was an adult auidence... Sonic X however is just terrible.. as is Sonic The Hedgehog THE MOVIE- a typical representation of why sonic now sucks so much.

Fortunately SatAM lived on in the shape of the Archie comics.. at least up until issue #80, then after that the japanese started to influence the comic, eventually transforming the comic we all grew up with into SonicX the comic... The sudden change was an INSULT- essentially to explain it all, Sonic and his friends are magically transported to the "REAL" world, so mobius is essentially stuck in time, Some how sonic's eye colour changes, we're never told why.. Sonic discovers that Robotnik... errr.. eggman is still alive in this new reality (does this make any sense... NOoooooo..) so a massive stupid war starts between the humans and Eggman again. (which is stupid because previously we were lead to beleive that Robotnik had defeated humanity along side the furries, exiled them into space and then Robotnik betrayed everyone and took the world over, leaving the Freedom fighters to try and stop him from keeping his dictatorship. Eventually the humans return to mobius after discovering Robotnik had died- they then began trying to either help the freedom fighters rebuild or joined Robotniks Nephew Snively in trying to restored Robotniks former dictatorship.)

Ok so Humans and Eggman are at war, this cycle keeps looping over and over, Eggman attacks City, Sonic saves city, Eggman Attacks city, Sonic Saves City.. It keeps on going and going.. Then eventually we're told that Eggman has managed to bring ROBOTNIK back from the dead. (WHAT THE FUCK!!!?!?!?!?!?!?) ok so now you have both Eggman AND Robotnik in the SAME comic.. This really wasn't much fun and it just resulted in a lot of really bad jokes (apparently Eggman has 100s of clones- one of which is Hulk Hogan...? ok...).

So anyway eventually the writers get bored and go.. Ok fuck this, lets move time up 20 years and have Sonic and co go BACK to Mobius.. where now they're adults, getting married, having kids.. OH and Nicole (sally's computer) is now a furrie too.. and is more than capable of reproducing apprently...?!

Eventually though the happy families don't last and all of sonics friends begin fighting over his newly crowned throne (yes he's now KING sonic?!)..

Anyway I got bored at this point of the comic and stopped reading..

They really fucked that story up, Throughout the 20 Year gap they created a few Game-to-comic issues, these were terrible just as the games were.

Sonic is dead guys. I never expected that. He was the greatest video game character EVER and now he's dead..

But SATAM sucks. I'm glad Sonic Team doesn't listen to the fans, its for the better. Sonic evolves and tries different things, its fanbase doesnt and can't accept change from their favourite formula.

kayacan wrote:Nearly all FPSs have Sonic Mod...

The real question is, how many are released?

Things you will hit:
- Controlled velocity limit
- Mapsize limit, HL2 doesn't have a lot.
- Broken unfunctional 3D loops
- Sensation of speed stopped blind by small physics objects making hampered gameplay
- Bad gamepad support
- Noticable loading times that break the pacing
- An acceptable originality barrier, resulting into badly inspired recolored new fan characters

You clearly haven't played their latest games have you... and SatAM aka Sonic Mars was going to be a MASSIVE change- focusing more on stealth and less on speed, but Sega Japan hated the idea of slowing sonic down and making it more story driven, they also didn't like the fact that it was Isometric.. The hilarious thing was though speeding sonic up even more and making it 3d made it worse and in a lot of people's opinions killed the franchise.

Seriously what you said is the complete opposite to what I think EVERYONE thinks about sonic these days.. They've just screwed it up too much with really terrible ideas, storylines and characters.. If they kept it simple whilst expand it into SatAM territory I'm sure it would've turned out pretty good. I feel the storyline would have been adult enough to keep us interested in it, the characters wouldn't be so god damn whiny and the gameplay would be totally and utterly different from previous sonic games whilst still remaining in the 2D realm that sonic was godlike in (in that it was entirely stealth based). Seems like a brilliant idea to me. I don't see why you have a problem with it.

What Sonic Mars was, is essentially what you said.. Not more of the same, A totally new and fresh direction.

And that's the proof. keep in mind that's an extremely early alpha version- the level design isn't much to look at. I would have expected the game to speed up in certain intervals where the game needed it to be fast (such as the few occasions where either sonic is racing something OR where sonic's speed was needed to beat a boss/save one of the characters)- but for the most part sonic would be sneaking around.

Unless of course your a fan of Sonic Riders :P.. but I find it hard to see how ANYONE could enjoy that steaming pile of shit. They tried to change Sonic's entire core-gameplay and it totally backfired... yet somehow they released a sequel?! I mean I don't even think anyone bought the first game :D Sonic Riders had been hailed by many as the WORST sonic game ever.

 *Ahem* but seriously.. wow, that couldn't get any worse, could it? I missed the only speedy guy. I mean really.. that is why he's called sonic after all, right? Its quite contradictory to what the franchise was based on. I miss the old Sonic, too bad they didn't build upon on, had the Jap team screw it all up :|

Sonic fails rofl.  i mean i don't think the problem of people being annoyed by children ( if your annoyed by them) will go down any, by making a "modification" to the half life source engine, for children. 
the idea isn't even "meh" worthy.

The mod could be done and could work, but to tell you the truth, the whole sonic franchise has been totally played out.

Acting that way is going to turn a lot of people off. Very unprofessional.

yeah I remember that game. *cringes* I think Sonic Mars would have worked though because it had stealth gameplay in place of the speed platforming gameplay. It's a massive change and everything, but it keeps with the comic and cartoon series- the game wasn't intended for gamers in mind, rather gamers that watched the TV show, read the comics and wanted a game adaptation- because I noticed in their original design document it was heavily story driven- something that Sonic never was.. sonic had a very very very short story "furry hates robo guy, robo guys have robots made out furries, robo guy sends robots to kill furry, furry kills robots instead, robo guy gets pissed, furry kills robo guy saves world.. the end.." SatAM followed that but it had way way more character driven elements to it- something that would be ambitious for a platformer and better suited to an RPG.

I personally think this was sega's reaction to Blizzard's The Lost Vikings because that was incredibly successful and still combined the platforming elements with strategic stealth play. I think this is how Sonic Mars would have endedup.
