OK, full disclosure: I don’t like Sonic games. 2D or 3D, They’re just not my bag. It’s cool if you like ‘em and it’s cool if you don’t, this thread isn’t about that.
I’ve been playing the newest Forza Motorsport and it has me thinking: They should make a 3D behind-the-back Sonic game where Sonic controls like a car. I’m talking full-on gas pedal on the right analog trigger, brake on the left analog trigger. Hell, give him a full-on handbrake so he can drift. The only difference I think between the controls of a car in Forza Motorsport and this hypothetical Sonic game would be that he has a jump button. Maybe have a higher difficulty where you literally have to shift gears. Manual transmission Sonic.
I’m not kidding. This is not even remotely a joke. I genuinely think a game where you can feather gas and brake pedals to very accurately control Sonic’s speed would be extremely mechanically interesting. Maybe you could even upgrade him to have better handling/braking.
Sonic’s whole deal is he goes fast. I think a game where the challenge comes from managing and controlling that speed would be cool. What do you think?
Before anyone comes in here and asks “why would Sonic have brakes or a manual transmission?” let me just remind you: he’s a bipedal blue hedgehog who runs extremely fast. You’ve already suspended your disbelief, leave it suspended and live a little.
