The first one (top right) seems like a halfway point between the actual design we got for Adventure and Sonic's pre-adventure design.

The Sonic social media manager is surveying what genres we'd like to see for a Sonic game.

Now, there's nothing saying this will go anywhere. However, RPG, rhythm, and fighting (especially 2D) are quite popular responses.

I'm a sucker for the Final Fantasy Sonic X and Sonic RPG...well, RPGs, so a game that uses the extended cast in an RPG would be amazing. If the social media team were to make a small scale RPG I can picture the idea of the team making it a short but linear RPG like those flash game ones.

Fighting game is also a big one in general I'd like to see, cause it'd be once again taking advantage of the extended cast. A flashy 2D fighter like Arc System Works games would be amazing. Sonic Smackdown comes to mind.

Fighting games are a good opportunity to flex their cast. Id love to see a Sonic fighting game.

Sonic Riders 4 is a personal pipe dream. As is Sonic Battle 2.

Even further out into never happening territory, Id love a Chaotix point n click and a Whisper metroidvania.

I’m honestly really curious to see where a Sonic RPG would go these days.

I would like to see them to bring back the Death Egg II from Sonic 4 so we can get it destroyed and finish the arc.

I saw that last night and opted to suggest a point and click Chaotix game. And when Fadel suggested a 2D fighting Sonic game, I piggybacked off that and suggested a proper Modern-era sequel to Sonic the Fighters with modern re-introductions of Honey, Bark, Bean, and Nack. (Shouldn't be that hard since Nack is already fresh in our minds thanks to Sonic Superstars.)

What do you think of Cristina vee as amy rose shed sound like Marinette.

Judging by the first link, she already voices a character that sounds very similar to Amy. So, yeah, I guess she wouldn't be a bad choice.

My choices:

A beat em up game starring Knuckles.

A stealth platform game starring Rouge.

A detective game starring the Chaotix.

Besides a Riders sequel, the thing that seems the most obvious to me is a racing game where Sonic and gang actually run on foot.

That feels like a no brainer, and I'm really surprised at how little we've seen it. R and the Rivals duology are the only real examples, and they all feel/look a little undercooked mechanically speaking.

Sonic Forces already did that on mobile, and it had the IDW, movie, and Prime characters.

Interesting model work from Sonic R. Didn't know that Amy was thought of as the sort of racer to drive cars like that.

I kinda like it. Definitely more in line with the wacky cartoon vibe they had going on in Fighters, before they went in more of anime influenced direction with Adventure.

At the time, they wrote Amy as a "normal girl" compared with the heroes, so she had to use things to keep up like the card or the hammer. Now at days, her keeping up is sort of expected.

Yeah, there was some Early-Installment Weirdness there. Now if you're anthropomorphized it's assumed you're some kind of badass, even if not at Sonic's level.

Yea, I don't really like that, that basically everyone worships Sonic as this diety like figure. Part of me feels like he'd be turned off by that.

What about Racing Transformed?

The stages, the transformative aspects (though I suppose Gear Change in Zero Gravity covers that), the special moves, the general sense of dynamism (that feels more organic than Free Riders). That "about."

@Tomodachi; On that note, I don't really like how Superstars is implicitly retconning her to be competent enough save the day Pre-Adventure.

I get that she's the only girl they could use besides Honey for it because they have a bizarre SatAM hangup, but come onnnn.

I'm okay with it. They seem to have been reevaluating what the Classic Era was like in general in the last few years.

Looking back on it, Adventure 1 was, at the time, in itself a bit of a "this is the new take on continuity" retcon as well, in that it was supposed to be the first time Sonic and pals really came together as a group, with stuff like Triple Trouble or The Fighters or Chaotix and such out of continuity.

So you can see the same thing happening now with Amy also happen with guys like Knuckles. In the new continuity from Adventure forward, Adventure 1 was supposed to be the first time Knux left Angel island and teamed up with Sonic of his own volition - but now they're re-retconning him into having adventured with Sonic a few times before that, so Team Sonic was now always a thing instead of more or less only becoming a thing around SA 2.

There's just a bit of difference in how they perceive the characters are, is all.

I wouldn't be remotely annoyed if they had said "we are using these designs to represent specific gameplay now" instead of implying that this was an actually unseen adventure from the past.

Oh well, brands are gonna be brands with weird separations, I guess.

And it is better than implying Classic is another dimension.

If they actually managed to functionally use the split timeline concept...

Generations could've been used as the excuse to do this nonsense.

They seemed to be going that way with Mania, but then they bungled it hard in Frontiers.

All they had to do was have Classic be confused about the other world thing and have Tails ramble on a bit about the Time Eater debacle causing an outright split (unlike past adventures).

Ten seconds, and they'd have been golden, instead we got a nonsensical retcon.
