Wow, 2027? Isn't that way too much of a gap!? That's over two years from now, and it'll be three from when the third movie came out! The first three movies all came out within a span of four years... I can't imagine what's going to take this one so long. It's just gonna be about Metal Sonic, right?

There's more than 1 movie?

They are really banking a lot on this it seems. I don't hate the movies per se, but I feel the resources would be better spent making better Sonic games.

You're saying it like there ever was a good Sonic game.

i disagree. sonic has survived as long as he has on the characters and music. even the games that people rave about still get critiques and criticism from those who like it.
sega never seems to stick with an idea or game engine for more than 1-2 games before bailing on it. even when it gets lots of praise, they drop the idea.
the cartoons seem to be far more universally liked and well received on average by anyone who watches them. i'm not a big sonic fan, but i did watch some of sonic x and sonic boom; the later seems to be rather high quality despite the tie-in game.
it makes more sense to make more cartoons or movies, than more games.

The fact Sega is so inconsistent with games is all the more reason why they need to get their priorities straight. Regardless of mass media recognition, games are still the core of IP, at least that's my take.

yeah, they need consistency. that's why mario and mega man still hold up in quality and popularity: consistent game play.
i don't think sega has that as a high priority. it seems like their self-inflected wounds from sonic '06 is still nice and wide open. the movies might help finally close that up a small bit.
