No, I'm not saying Sonic should experiment with guns again,(cause we all know how well that turned out.) I just iteriating a potential game idea I heard by a few fans. Do you think Sonic could work with GTA-style, free roam gameplay? Not killing people, but helping people like Spiderman 2. Not the lame town missions of Sonic 2006, but Sonic running on buildings, speeding through highways, and tricking through the city. It would bring back the balance between exploration and speed again. So do you think that would work for Sonic?

It would have to be a giant city with seemless load times between each part.
Yeah. |

Well, not just a city. There could be gates to zones and maybe smaller hubs. Like a cross between Spidey 2 and Jak 2, a game where you help and save people while having individual levels as well. Maybe in this game, you could play as Super Sonic and be able to fly around the city "Station Square". You could also get upgrades and costumes in shop using rings around the city. Like the Soleanna, without the Dreamcast blandness or the 10 minute load times.
BALLIN!

I think Ashide meant something along the lines of GTA: South Island. amirite?
There's probably no reason why a whole island from the Sonic series couldn't be rendered like a GTA game. ------

I would like to see the Adventure Fields on the Scale of Jak 2's Haven City.
My suggestions: Station Square: A modern peaceful city. The Three Islands: South, Westside, and Angel Islands recreated in all their glory. Robotropolis/Eggman Land: A futurestic city overrun with machinery, badniks, and E-series robots. Eggman's base of operations. Metallix Flagship: A giant airship with a Metal Sonic design motif. Manned by an army of Eggpawns, it serves as Metal Sonic's base(Personally I would like to see Metal Sonic become a permanent "Third Force" next to Eggman and Sonic & Co.) You've heard of Seperation of Church and State.
Well I'm for abolishment of Church and State. |

Those are some good ideas, but can current technoology handle that large of a game? All those in total most be hundreds of miles. T also like Metal Sonic becoming a third force between Sonic and co. and Eggman's robot army. Also, instead of bactracking in the game, you could use Chaos Control to transport to mission areas. That could save some time in traveling.

Yes, current technology can. Current Sonic? Probally not.

I liked the Adventure areas in SA...they made me feel like I was more in control of the story, and not just being chauffered from level to level...but they weren't interactive enough. They were just basic hub worlds separating the stages. I'd like to see an overworld containing more mini-games, optional boss battles, and non-sequitur stages. And there should be puzzles that are actually fun to solve, not puzzles solved by kicking numbered crates.

You mean Sonic Adventure 3?

I wonder if they continued the SA series to 3, if the franchise br in such a slump. Or was SH actually Sonic Adventure 3 with team gameplay?
Anyway, back to the topic, I came up with several moves for Sonic in the GTA-like enviorment. Wall running-Nuff said. Sonic can run on any wall in any direction. Building hop- Something similar to what Sonic did in the OVA. Dash around a building till you get to the top. Like the panels in SA1, but on a any building. Max-speed- Keep going at top speed for a brief period of time, then break speed barrier. Chaos Control- Used to prevent annoying backtracking between hubs and mission spots. By gaining this power, you can simply transport to your key destination, if you been there before. Streetboading- The fun segment of SA2 is back! This you can pull the board out anytime(Sonic learned hammerspace) you want, And the trick around the city. BALLIN!

You mean something like Sonic Adventure? That would be cool. I liked that feature from the game. It's just like Erinaeus said. A bit more control to where you were going. Everybody pretty much added everything I could come up with. That idea would work.

Extending on my GTA: South Island idea. You start off at Green Hill but to progress to Bridge, you need to clear the 3 Acts and the boss.
You can explore the entire level and acts before you attempt this. Then you talk to one of Sonic's many friends and then you start the Act. And it is a point to point course. ------

How do the acts work? Are they like the levels in Jak 2, but part of the hub? Would do be marks at each end of the act?
Anyway, it would be nice someone use the GTA free roam trend besides a city enviorment. I still want a huge Station Square area, though. Anyway, here are some side missions. -Stop Eggman's robots from stealing, looting, attacking, etc. -Save people from normal occurences like fires and car crashes. -Race with certain people like Shadow and Knuckles for unlockables. -Breakdance for rings. -Collect Choas Rmeralds, after the game to achieve Super Sonic. I also had an idea for the Final Boss. Instead some Super Dragon thing fighting Super Sonic, Have Eggman attacking the city or the island with a gigantic mecha. Without using his Super form, Sonic must figure out a way to stop Eggman and keep people from getting hurt. Metal Sonic could Team up with Eggman and try to kill Sonic. I think that would the Final Battle much more dire and epic than they have been for a while. |

I haven't played Jak 2, but yes they would be part of the level.
The act would be defined by character whom you talk to (eg. Amy, Big etc.), to begin the act and a countdown starts and then you must complete the act however slow or fast you want. and then something along the line of a spinning panel, prison egg or a goal ring at the end. ------

Would the gameplay be affected by who you talked to? Like if you talked to Knuckles would gameplay be focused on something? Other than that the idea's cool.
By the way, what did you think my final battle idea? BALLIN!

I'm surprised no-one's mentioned the Tornado on here yet!
 That'd be a great way for getting to different islands/zones  ________________

No, because it'll be a pre set character. With probably an amusing little cut scene when you first say hello to them.
Eggmobile > Tornado. You all know it. ------

A free-roam city could be packed to the brim with mini-games you can play when you want to waste time (or maybe level up?) And then you can hop back into the mainstory whenever you feel like it.
And just to throw this out there. I really didn't like SA2's final boss or 06's. I don't like Sonic Bosses that just sit out and space and go RAWR while Sonic and/or Shadow buzz around it like raging hornets to find it's blister weakspot. I'd rather it be Sonic running instead of flying around the enemy since Sonic is supposed to run better than he can fly. lolz IslesofTranquility (For Ecco the Dolphin fans) - http://www.islesoftranquility.net/fo...ex.php?act=idx

I like that mini game idea, but a few other games lets you already do that. But what would be the story?
