SEGA Suit: "Is it Sonic?"
Dev: "No, it's Ecco-"
Suit: "Rejected. Come back when you work whatever idea you have into something we can utilize Sonic in."
Dev: "..."

Really, because they seem content with just letting Sonic Team run Sonic into the ground by themselves. For example, I heard Forces was so short that you could beat it and still get a refund on Steam, because you could still be below the 2 hour maximum time played on the game.

Im convinced Mania was a fluke. Otherwise we wouldve heard news about Mania 2 by now, and dev time that went into the Encore DLC was instead invested in the sequel.

It was really funny that forces and mania were made at the same time. It was like Sonic Team saw how good that small team were doing and thought they had to make the worst possible game to balance things out.

Forces was a stupid fun game for the kids who grew up with Sonic games on the Wii and beyond. It was really silly and at least was functional.

It was a step up from the 3D Sonic Boom games.

The real sonic team was disbanded in the Sammy merger. They kept the name for branding purposes but the team was gutted.

Bioware really didn't know how to make a Jrpg. Honestly it should have been great as that was pre-EA Bioware.

I'm surprised Valkyria Chronicles even got a 4th entry considering that series had been ded for nearly a decade prior

They've handled the Puyo Puyo series well I suppose.

makes sense to me, they are having financial trouble and they basically said recently they need to create less stuff at all and especially less new stuff in order to focus on franchises that are guaranteed winners


What...like the sonic franchise? lol

That series has had like 1 hit in 20


financial successes

other than Yakuza what's a good selling sega IP?


Persona.


they're just the distributor for the north american releases, I thought?

SEGA Sammy, SEGA's parent company, bought Atlus several years ago.

What the FUCK
Sega better not fuck up SMT and Persona...

Their Persona money has been pretty much funding all their other nonsense Sonic projects

However it also probably funded Valkyria Chronicles 4 so maybe I should give them a break

Financial trouble? Lol. You cant throw a rock in Tokyo without hitting a Sega arcade thats constantly packed with people wasting thousands of yen on 5-cents-to-make chinese pokemon stuffed animals.

There was a PC version that was released in 2014, that did pretty well. Also Valkyria Revolution released in 2017, was part of the Valkyria francise. It did quite poorly, but I imagine the interest shown
before the game was revealed to be a crappy Warriors game rip-off, helped Sega see Valkyria Chronicles as a decent prospect.

Sonic makes them money.

The problem is they have no talent for making competent Sonic games...
