To be fair, we don't know if it's an endless runner yet... Though I don't see what else a game called Runners could be.
Words cannot express properly the disapointment im feeling right nowSonic games by not Sonic Team on consoles.
Sonic games by Sonic Team on smartphones.
I'm sad.
We don't know anything about the game yet and you already came to the conclusion that it could obviously be successful on other hardware? Most mobile games these days are absolutely tailored to the smartphone environment and wouldn't make a lot of sense elsewhere.
RIP Sonic
Quoting myself from the rumor thread because I'm that kind of guy.
I think it's quite easy to see why SEGA/Sonic Team is doing this.
There isn't really a strong healthy youth/family/casual-centric home console on the market right now. At the moment, a big-budget Sonic game would most likely bomb on the PS4/Xbone and even on the WiiU (a console with a software ecosystem that is actually compatible with colorful platformers).
It makes a lot of sense that they'd head for the nearest machines with a huge profitable youth/family/casual market.
Either an endless runner of a mobile take on the Sonic Riders formula? How would a mobile Sonic racing game really captivate an audience? I could see Sega All Stars, but solely Sonic?
yes, as a while ago there was some sort of chart/board detailing Sonic's toy plans and detailing that toys would be made for a 2015 PS4/One/Wii U Sonic game.This is just a side project because Sonic Team is actually working on the PS4/XBO Sonic title, right?
Wait... it's a Sonic R sequel?!saw this on twitter. seems this was an image shown with the Sonic Runners announcement

The area in that art is definitely Apotos from Sonic Unleashed. No mistaking that.

i thought that image was confirmed to be false, i read that on sonic stadium.
Seeing the Sonic Team wasting its time on fucking phones is really sad.
It already says Sonic Team in the picture.

Is this what heartbreak feels like? There's a lump a the way in my stomach, and it physically hurts.
yoooo is he wearing his Riders glasses
if this is something Riders related I'll all for it
couldn't they just get a shitty team to do that instead
Sonic Team is big enough for them to do multiple projects. Stop freaking out.
Wut.They're all shitty. Plus you don't want to put the shittiest team on the most popular platform.
If, at the end of the day, this is the closest we will get to new Apotos levels, I don't see how.You're seriously overreacting.
Wut.
Sonic Generations was great, that team is not a shifty team.
All the NGPC/GBA/DS/3DS games were also under Sonic Team even though Dimps made them. The Riders games specifically came from the ex-UGA staff who joined Sonic Team in the 2004 restructuring.I wouldn't be surprised. The three Riders games were all technically under Sonic Team in some form, but a smaller team (with outsourcing).
You're seriously overreacting.

I thought running games were dumb
Wut.

I thought they announced it too, or at least announced that they are working on one.This is just a side project because Sonic Team is actually working on the PS4/XBO Sonic title, right?
Generations blew to. The only good part was the first level.

I appreciate you taking the alley-oop setup but seriously, is this really what the Sonic Generations team should be working on
like fuck it, give it to Dimps or something
