Enough live service games have lost enough money, including Sega’s Hyenas, that at least one company is now scared enough to stop making them. Video games are healing.

If Sega still had their edge Haste would have been a Sonic game before the indie studio could think of it and PSO2 NG wouldn’t exist
Unpopular opinion / downvote magnet 🧲
I haven’t fully enjoyed Sonic’s transition to 3D. The 2.5D & on-rails parts do work, but I don’t think the free roaming sections are as good as other 3D games, and I don’t know if it’s the speed to blame or the auto-aim or what is it that just doesn’t click with me as much as the 2D games did.
I really wish I could have fun with the newer titles but I haven’t be able so far.
I’d recommend trying either Sonic Adventure on PC with the BetterSADX mod, or try Sonic Robo Blast 2. Both allow for much better physics and control in 3D than any official Sonic game ever could.
Doesn’t everyone who played the 2D games first share this opinion? The 3D games have their moments, but they’re ludicrously imprecise and frustrating.
I’m still stuck on Sonic Adventure 2: Battle as my all time favorite Sonic game. It was peak 3D Sonic. You’re right about the speed tho, which brings us to Haste. Play it, and you’ll see how it should have been done and how Sega is completely washed because they couldn’t do this.
I tried the demo when it came out. Great game, but I got turned off by the level design. There were lot of times when I got lost and didn’t know what to do or where to go. And not in a good way, like on Journey, Abzû or Sword of the Sea, you can get lost and get rewarded for exploring but getting back on track is intuitive.
Haste has better physics though.
Imo SA2 is overrated and SA1 aged better.
Have you tried the BetterSADX mod on PC? It’s freakin’ incredible! Makes SA1 even better. Hell, I tried SA2 with mods and I still bounced off it.
Its my bias. I played them both but grew up with 2. I’ll admit it tho. They’re both great imo.
They all focus on letting anyone run fast, which just makes them feel like autopilot.
Haste lets you run fast and actually gives the player control. It’s what a 3D Sonic should be.
That’s true! The Haste game mechanics would make an insane Sonic game :0
