So I've been thinking. What if Sonic had a run and brake button (the triggers on an Xbox 360 controller maybe), instead of pushing the stick to move? Now, I'm not saying that Sonic stages should become like racetracks, i think it might just be a better way to handle turning and camera (not saying that traditional platformer controls can't work if done correctly). I think this because with an acceleration and deceleration button, you could have better turning. Sonic's turning radius would depend on the speed he was going and how much you pushed the stick to the left or right, just like a car. The camera would stay mostly behind Sonic, but have a delay, like Sonic Adventure, but toned down a MASSIVE amount.. How much it dose this (never more than 45 degrees to Sonic) is dependent on how sharp you are turning and obviously, it puts itself behind Sonic again after you stop turning. I figure this would be an easier way to make camera and turning work better than they have in previous games.
What do you think? Discuss!
