(This topic is totally not inspired by my last status update)
So, in that Iizuka interview about Sonic's direction in 2012 (HERE:http://www.gamasutra...onic_Series.php), he says,
"I think, as a result, I would like to make a new standard Sonic, a Modern Sonic if you will, for 2012 and beyond."
Now, this could be interpreted in severeal ways, or possibly mis-translated. But one thing this could mean, is a new Sonic style for the next game, or perhaps console gen. So, the question is, if there was a new Sonic style what would you want it to be like?
Myself, I'd like for them to keep improving on the Modern gameplay. But if there was going to be a new style, I would love sort of a compromise, in terms of speed, between Adventure style, and Modern style, mixing the balance of mobility at all speeds of Adventure, with the sensation of speed of the Unleashed-styled games. I'd also love to see momentum come back as a major part of gameplay again. Also, I'd love some faster paced platforming somehow, which no Sonic game has really done.
Thoughts?
