25th Anniversary Party New Game Predictions

Post Party Edit: Welp, turns out I was kinda sorta right, but wrong as well. The Generations sequel (Or what appears to be one) is still a thing, but Classic Sonic is rendered in three dimensions just as he was in Generations. The sixteen bit Classic Sonic is it's own game, headed by Christian Whitehead on his Retro Engine. But I'm genuinely surprised that we're getting two main games next year, and it's actually really cool. 2017 is going to be amazing!

So now that we're about two hours (If I did my internal math right) away from the party, I wanna go ahead and share my prediction for the new game.

Based on some of the things the social medias have been posting in the last few months, there's a lot of Classic Sonic being thrown around, and I mean a lot. So that leads me to believe that it's at least partially going to have Classic Sonic in it. The next thing I've noticed is that they've been posting things that has sixteen bit Genesis era sprites being 'converted' to rendered models. Such things are the header on Twitter (and maybe Facebook, I'll have to look into that), and a gif of a Sonic 2 (I think?) Sonic sprite going into a ring and coming out as a render of Modern Sonic.

So, all of this leads me to the impression that the game will be similar concept-wise to Sonic Generations in that it will dual-feature Classic and Modern Sonic. However, I believe it will differ in that it'll be a new, original (somewhat) adventure, in which the player will have the ability to switch between the two Sonics on the fly. Classic Sonic will be rendered in sixteen bit graphics, with his old gameplay style, while Modern will of course be in three dimensions and will have a new kind of gameplay style. In my mind, I can imagine that it'll be a cross between the Adventure style and the Boost style.

I read a comment on the news site I frequent that ran with this idea and proposed that it's a sort of time travel aspect, that the two don't interact and instead stay in their own times. There's a new threat that would require being defeated in the two time periods, and as such, the Sonics would have to work together. I think this would be neat, and I wish I could take credit for this idea, but sadly I can't.

Of course it's been said it would release in 2017, and I think more specifically it'll be in March, or April at the latest. I can't really see them holding it back for so long after not having a game since 2013.

So that's my predictions for the new possible game that may be announced at the party in a few hours. What do you guys think?

Pointless HD remake of Sonic 1 that plays like Sonic Genesis.
That's about SEGA's current competance level.

I partly think what 2BIT said, but its hard to predict since SEGA always releases something new- or unexpected.  Many games had different themes, different stories even different mechanics.  Of course not including the remakes.  I am hoping its not a remake but something new, and to the next get consoles.  Imagine what they can make with the power of PS4 and XBox One or even PC.

I really hope it's PC. I don't have a PS4 or an Xbox One.

PC has been trending, almost all games released are also releasing on steam.  There's a good chance.  I haven't seen any Nintendo titles on PC, so if it releases with Nintendo products we might not see it on PC.  I don't have any Nintendo products nor XBox products.

Lost World came out on Steam. I wanted to get it before I remembered it was pretty mediocre.

Yeah, i had the same thought.

I'm hoping for a ''Sonic Adventure 3''. Like, a reboot of the Adventure games or something (a REAL one, let's forget about Sonic '06... even though it could've been great if the dev team weren't rushed..)

They revealed a new Classic Sonic game. Christian Whitehead is involved. Looks pretty good, actually. I'm still holding out for a Modern Sonic game, though, as unlikely as that is.

Also what looks like somewhat of a sequel of Generations, we got a CG trailer of Modern and Classic Sonic in a ruined city.

I'm loving the looks of it, at least this time it looks like this will have a story and its probably the end of the Colors era!!! :D
Sandunky

I'm beyond ready for a serious story again!
RawAxis

Me too, been waiting for that for 6 years
Sandunky

Same. I mean, Generations was acceptable kinda because it paid tribute to the old games but Unleashed was really the last time we got an actual story, and that's why I like it more than Colors or Lost World. Well, there are tons more reasons for Lost World, but I won't get into it..

Totally agreed, what was cool about Sonic generations were the concepts it too from the cool games, this game at least looks like is trying to be its own thing, though I'm still a little skeptical about Classic Sonic, feels like they're still relying on nostalgia even when they have Sonic Mania going on.
Sandunky

Yeah, I feel like Classic Sonic is a little redundant here, since like you said, Sonic Mania. But oh well, as long as it's its own thing and not another compilation of levels. I'm still hyped regardless.

Hopes so, people say Iizuka said this wasn't a sequel to Generations or anything but rather its own thing, I can't wait to know more about it I seriously don't think I can sleep tonight ^^
Sandunky

I've been seeing people say this too, but I don't know where he said this. And I doubt I'll be able to sleep either :p

Hehehe, really hope other characters are playable again, or at least Blaze...
Sandunky

That's sweet. I gotta check this out. Generations was good and it sounds like this one too.
