And they also listen to feedback, and are willing to entirely omit "& Friends" characters if they recognize they're holding the franchise back.
Team sonic racing overdrive characters professional#
Across the entire Sonic main series on handhelds and home consoles then, you'll see it having shifted between multiple directors, producers and writers - just for one, the writer they used in Sonic 06 and Sonic Unleashed was a professional writer for anime who wrote 13 episodes of Sonic X, which is why Sonic 06 had such a preference for the "Human friend whose world is enriched by Sonic & friends!" theme or generally Sonic Unleashed seems like it's really light on past game references. I agree on the example of Sonic Rush but what that stems from is that the creative leadership of those titles specifically were shared. But a canon it is not, and wasn't really intended as such. I wish games were better at franchise storytelling (although, yuck as someone who dislikes MCU, please not that type) but I think Sonic is far from the only case where the story iterates on itself between titles because there really was no intended Canon, just whichever cool character designs they came up with at the time, which the series leadership then decides is cool and beloved enough to reference it again later. "Perfect Chaos happened because it happened in SA1" but the events themselves are fully up to interpretation because each game prioritizes its own design and emphasis which is then typically supported by the story that gets written for it. Ĭlick to shrink.I understand your frustrations, and I do think it stems from lizuka having a loose grasp of how storytelling works but again, what it also is, is that each game is basically a reimagining or iteration on the same thing. Like shadow's entire existence like dunks on your point. but that doesn't mean they never tried to ever, and its very clear they have.
In fact people are calling on them to try and do that again, they just don't intend to tell a story all the time and sometimes like most fiction they change their mind on things and retcon things. They have tried to tell stories through multiple games. They do this a bit less nowadays, but even then they still cant help themselves like in forces. Not just that Sonic Rush 1 and 2 and sonic 06 and sonic rivals 1 and 2 have clear connecting stories. And then there's SA2, Heroes, Shth And Sonic 06 being an entire throughline. Its why people took " Classic and Modern are from different realities " so weird because sonic adventure 1 strait up says the classic games happened. But on multiple occasions its pretty clear they are trying to connect an tell a story. Its the most I have enjoyed knuckles as a character in a while TBHĪctually they did on multiple occasions, not every game is refencing every game.
