Sega confirmed that dreamcast sonic and future sonic will not be in this game, How would you guys feel if boom sonic was in this game and the third gameplay style. I would probably loose faith in sonic if that happened. I can't believe you just said that. I'm never giving up on Sonic. I dont mean that. What I mean is that adding boom sonic to this game would probably be the worst move sega and soni team could make marketing wise. Sega would get so much back lash for it. In other words boom sonic would probably destroy the games reputation. And to be honest I personally am not a fan of boom sonics gameplay. Were you. Sega should just keep modern and classic sonic and make the 3rd style a co op mode or hopefully ( I pray to go this will happen) a chao garden. Sega I beg you. I don't see adding Sonic Boom Sonic being the worst thing SEGA could do, but it'd be far from universally accepted I'm sure, given how much of a flop the Sonic Boom games were, Rise of Lyric in particular. They'd get some flak for sure, but likely not to the extent you're saying they would. Besides, the games' reputation is already quite trashy these days as it is. I'd argue that their reputation has already been destroyed, and that the real problem is the possibility of there being that one Sonic game that, depending on just how screwed up it is, could be the final nail in the coffin to a series that has essentially been mismanaged and run into the ground on virtually all fronts.

Anyway, I'm sure a modern Chao Garden will be a welcome addition that many people would like. As for your suggestions on the gameplay styles, I think that whatever basis they use they should largely stick to what has proven to work the best, and that seems to be the gameplay used in games like the daytime levels of Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations. Whatever gimmicks they make, they should keep that core gameplay intact, because I don't think they should take any unnecessary risks with the core gameplay right now.
