SEGA has once again commented on the Sonic franchise, plus what fans can expect in the future.

Chris Olson, SEGA of AmericaÔÇÖs chief operating officer, highlighted two key points while speaking with Polygon. He pointed to ÔÇ£a greater focus on qualityÔÇØ as well as interest in appealing to new and old fans. Additionally, SEGA isnÔÇÖt looking to rush Sonic titles out the door.


OlsonÔÇÖs comments in full:

Cita:(SEGA) wants to bring Sonic to where gamers are. theres still a very large-sized audience with old-school Sonic fans who grew up with the Genesis. We have an obligation to the fans of Sonic and the consumer.

The business is always a conflict of weighing bringing a title to a market and making the yearly plan versus maybe waiting and bringing something else. You can see that on the mobile side of things. In the earlier day of mobile development, there was a tendency to bring things out immediately. Those days are  gone. Consumer expectations have been raised.
Video game development is a pretty chaotic thing, and its important not to rush things, because we want to be sure were bring out the most polished thing. When we look at bringing Sonic to modern-day gamers, we  obviously want to appeal to as many people as possible but still focus on what it means to be Sonic and a Sonic game. Maybe that might lose some fans along the road, but were picking up new fans that will hopefully grow with us as Sonic grows.

Olson also said SEGA will continue to ÔÇ£[evaluate] different ways to bring cool experiencesÔÇØ based on Sonic, it will do so with an increased emphasis on combining ÔÇ£coolÔÇØ with ÔÇ£quality.ÔÇØ

Eso de "Cool" me suena a que Sonic seguirá llevando bufanda como en el Boom...

Todavía recuerdo el "no tenemos planes para el Sonic 2D del Generations" haciendo referencia a que ese estilo de fases 2D, mas alla de Sonic 4, no lo tenían en mente, mientras medio mundo pidiendo otro juego con ese estilo 2D xD.

Yo le haría una ofertilla a Paco Pastor que lo mismo se anima. Cantaría a pleno pulmón el Cuéntame de Formula V en Yakuza 6 xDD.
