I mean, Sonic Generations and Sonic Colors were pretty decent, so there's that. Then there's fucking Sonic Boom. Remember, little Maki, remember...

Sonic Boom was made by EX-naughty dogs devs, not by Sonic Team per se. And it was in a decidedly different style in...just about everything really. However, it had a horrible development including being rushed when they couldn't even get the engine to work right and many people were fired left and right like a full-auto SMG, and had multiple issues that couldn't be fixed.

In fact, at least some of the devs were aware there were problems, and not just the glitches and bugs. And wanted to fix them. But they were not allowed. And honestly, It doesn't surprise me, Sonic Team is like an overentitled pack of assholes when given the duty to oversee something. They did an equally horrible job with Phantasy Star Universe.

Ironically though, the TvShow is not bad at all, pretty good actually. And while Shattered Crystal had many terrible things, at least it worked u_u. They are going to try (for some reason) a 3rd game that supposedly focuses on what they did right. Time will tell if they fail hard again, or not.
