    Another Storybook game and Sonic 4 Episode III would've been very interesting to see, but I understand why they were canceled. I generally prefer another game with a subtitle and improved gameplay than just "X 2" or what have you. I don't hate sequels, though. Sonic 2 and SA2 are some very notable sequels.

      Yes sequels are cool in case they're have improvement(s), if SA2 (SA1), Forces (Unleashed, Gens) had removed hub-world or you would get one main character instead of sidekick(s) company like ShadowHeroes, modern games after Heroes, Rivals, Adventire, Advance, Riders series. You would only play Sonic but with different gameplay and another side characters/plot. Like you eat same (tasty) candy concepts were reused in good way, SLW, Heroes, SA1DX+2B, Riders, Advance(1,2,3), Fighters had wasted potential for future legacy.

    I think there could be some cool potential with a sonic rpg game. Chronicles wasn’t good at all but times have changed. Sega own’s Atlus right? And they’re responsible for the Persona games. They could let Atlus make a Sonic kind of RPG and it would probably turn out great.
    Make a whole new villain for the story and have a bunch of the characters as party members with their own unique abilities n stuff. We could have the 3 Hedghogs all fighting together in a game again

It’s kinda weird how that Knuckles never appeared in Sonic 4 Episode 2 but instead SEGA thought it was a good idea to add Knuckles Sonic 4 Episode 3 but sadly the Sequel got cancelled.

    I honestly cannot imagine a third storybook game even conceptually working, maybe I am just not creative enough for that, but I don't see the big potential. Unless of course we talk about a game exploring what realm the world rings came from and all that, but that is clearly something they were never going to expand on considering that underlying plotline was just not present in Black Knight at all. Like, it is so bad that I am genuinely not sure if the book aestetics in cutscenes and the optional world ring-collectibles are a Secret Rings-easteregg or if it is actually meant to be canon, because none of it is even alluded to in the game's script in the first place, while being in a storybook(heh) was integral to the plot of SR.

Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric was originally supposed to be released on Xbox One and PS4, but Nintendo insisted on the game being a Wii U exclusive, and because of that, Big Red Button Studios had to use an earlier version of Cryengine software just for the game to run on Wii U.

    If we got that third storybook game I kinda hope it puts a twist where Hades isn't the bad guy instead following the actual mythology where Hades is pretty chill. Instead Sonic learns that Zeus is the true villain and must defeat him to liberate the realms.

    Concerning Sonic Forces there were plans to do 3 more DLC episodes those being Episode: Silver to show him dealing with the remnants of Eggman's forces in the aftermath of Forces, Episode: Blaze which would've showed what was going on with Princess Blaze from the Rush games during the events of Forces, and Episode: Rookie which would've focused on the Custom Character post-Forces going on adventures using nothing but his/her grapple hook, speed, agility, strength, and new-found Phantom Ruby powers gained from the Phantom Ruby Prototype and would've seen Infinite/Zero the Jackel return as the main antagonist and would've ended the Custom Character/Infinite rivalry and would've according to what's been said saw the Custom Character gained a Phantom Ruby themed Super Form and battle against Infinite in a final fight to not only stop the monster Zero became but also try to redeem Zero.
    But we'll never know due to those planned DLC episodes getting scrapped.

    I know this is irrelevant but that sonic mega collection plus music at the end is sooooo nostalgic! I remember being a kid in the 2000s playing that game on my ps2 all the time. Back then the music was a bit strange to me because sonic music felt so upbeat and cool (Riders, Sonic Heroes, etc) but looking back now, that music was meant to be nostalgic for the people who grew up playing those games. Sorry for the rant, but I love that song lol.

    Sonic 4, to me, kinda feels like they wanted some soft reboot that would allow for "Mordern" Sonic to have lived the same events as "Classic" Sonic, or at the very least bridged the two so they could clearly be one single continuity. But I think SEGA has always been very flip floppety about what constitutes Sonic canon.

  • @Blaze4ification
    @Blaze4ification Před měsícem +1

    Maybe if Boom sequels... went an Adventure route? Split up the gameplay, make speed sections for Sonic, Tails is like a Zelda game lots of puzzle solving, Amy or Knuckles are beat em ups, maybe Knuckles is treasure hunting like in the Adventure games. Kind of same thing I say for Unleashed, if they'd made the werehog stages a different character, rather than forcibly making Sonic the only playable character through... weirdness, and a couple other things. Another big one, the looping boss music, good song but... annoying and interrupts the environmental songs when it's so constant.
    I'd say a decent fix to the beat em up style could also be key to its level system. You can choose to pass enemies or engage them, choosing to engage obviously easier to get A or S ranks, while also leveling up your character. If you're impatient, but like a challenge, you can skip these, but makes mini bosses and bosses for the beat em up character more challenging down the road. That's an aspect Sonic has been good with since Sonic 2, choosing your own route making your own difficulty setting. Go up more rewards, go down more baddies and pit falls, trying to keep in the middle maintain that straight and narrow, while maybe occasionally going up because it can provide quicker sections... well you've mastered the level lay out and are speed running.
    An aspect Sega seems to forget a lot along with the friends that can do what Sonic can't. Boom too could have benefited from this split and mind set most likely. Both Unleashed and the Boom trilogy were already working off of it being styled like the Adventure games, but they pumped the breaks rather than speeding along with it, then yeah the Sega time crunches.

    Things I wanted to see from Mania 2 were Honey the Cat & Amy being playable. Half the Game being New Zones & the other half being reimagined zones that weren't in either Generations or Mania. Sunset Park from Triple Trouble would have been epic.
    I actually had fun with Chronicles 15 Years Ago & wanted to see the sequel. Most Sonic Fans would have rather gotten Storybooks 3-5 instead of the Boom Games. Sci-fi would have likely had a level based on Dune considering how sandworms were added anyway, although I'm curious what else would have happened in that game. Horror may have brought back Werehog. Very little happened for Sonic during the 2010s compared to the 2000s.

    ... Western and Noir would be interesting, but feel like Secret Rings 1 wouldn't be enough. You'd have to include multiple stories and worlds, so Noir is 1 world, Western another, pirates a 3rd maybe despite that already being used in Secret Rings, they don't have as concrete of a single story as Greek mythology or Arthurian Legend (granted a lot of other Arabian Tales they could've explored instead of... dinosaurs as much as I love dinosaurs, almost said pirates too but ehh Sinbad is one of the 1001 tales so that did fit). Like you could make Knuckles Heracles/Hercules, Shadow Perseus, Blaze Atalante, Tails is Icarus or maybe he's Daedalus while a robot like Emerl is Icarus, Rouge as Medea or Calypso, etc. Horror likewise would probably also be multiple stories, but I'm 100% on board lol... oh no the werehog's return LMFAO 🤣, then Dracula Shadow, mummy Knuckles, King Boom Boo returns maybe.
    Sci-fi... I feel like it's as broad as horror lol, but well I guess, your Jurassic Parks vs Star Wars/Star Trek.
    The biggest flaw in the Story books... was their entire being, in the on rail system. Now I do like Black Night... to some extent, like Sonic 4, Secret Rings and Episode 1 garbage 3/10, but Black Knight or episode 1 coooould push that mediocre 5 into a 6 good depending on the day and who you ask. If there was no motion control right off that bat that's a bonus, and something Black Knight kind of did, making it just for the sword swings rather than everything. Get rid of it completely or like Zelda Skyward Sword optional for those die hards to still utilize it.
    Then yeah rails is the 2nd problem and almost as big of one. Sonic is not meant to be restrained like that. Make it sort of like his Adventure 2 playstyle, honestly that's all you'd need, don't need the boost formula, don't need the exploration like A1 or Heroes, A2's speed style was a solid balance of rails while still having some optional routes if you got good. The games would need a 100% over haul, more so than a lot of the other games on this list... but doable and a lot of people would probably be down for remakes and possibly more sequels if the remakes were good.
    Yeah, well all the bad Sonic games have that, they ooze with potential, which... probably why this draws people in, has for years, why your video has so many views. Despite their flaws, how bad they are, your 06s, 4s, Story Book trilogy, we want to see the best from Sonic because we see that potential buried underneath, doing stuff little to no other franchises do even when they're copying formulas like Unleashed with God of War, Shadow with COD/Halo etc shooters, Frontiers Skyrim/BotW/etc open world RPGs. We want best for our blue blur boy.
    Then yeah at the end... kind of the bonus and flaw of Sonic games, they used to do what other games didn't, sequels always did better, unlike your Mario 2's or Zelda 2's, making movies or game sequels is hard because you either do more of the same or something experimental, yet Sonic redefined and refined with sequels. Keeping moving ever changing has its benefits, but you're also more likely to fail especially if you move on forgetting what went wrong before. All of these games could be refined and redone to excel just as much as SA2, Sonic 2, 3&K, Generations, Mania etc if they sat down and reused their older ways of thinking. On the other hand... then you become the Mario franchise and it's boring because it's too much of the same thing. As fun as I might have with New Mario DS or 2DS, Wii or Wii U... I'm not and haven't replayed them because they weren't my favorites like Mario 3 and World, Galaxy, and it's just more of the same, save the princess, new gimmick power up here, blah blah blah.
    Delicate balance, that a lot of game companies don't seem to realize. You can't remain the same, but you also shouldn't forget what worked before.
