I read somewhere, that the creators of Sonic were actually trying to kill him (I'm not really sure why). Thats why they keep releasing these stupid, buggy games, but for some reason, people keep buying them.
IMO, If they want to revive him, all they have to do is return to the old style, 2D Sonic games, where all Sonic could do is run, spin, and jump on shit and all you had to do is hold the fucking right analog button to go.
These guys are making video games way too complex now-a-days. They are not fun anymore. Its almost like working a second job. Or, maybe I'm just getting old.
