At least for a year after, as Pecola pointed out, we may expect a peak of activity after Sonic '17 and Mania hit the shelves. Again, we will see no peak on the SNN. This isn't 2011, we are not going to see a repeat of the lead-up to Generations. Everyone is on social media or on concentrated forum boards. Those glory days are over.

If you still think it's possible, what happened to the hype from the Sonic game announcement in July, Lost World in 2013, and Boom in 2014? Died in a number of hours. Because those games somewhat sucked and left critics with a bitter taste for Sonic. I still believe Sonic '17 and Sonic Mania will turns things around. That should've happened when Mania and Project 2017 was announced, but it didn't. Nothing is going to turn around for the better, especially like this Mystic. Have faith. Not much is known about either games to contribute much on SNN. We have more articles on Sonic Mania than we do on Sonic '17. So far Sonic '17 debute trailer is not that much different from Sonic Generations debute trailer so ofcourse there is not much to go by.

Plus, currently Sonic is often critisized to the point that to like Sonic unironically is frowned on in most internet communities outside the fandom due to his bad games. As low as critisizing him on Bubsy Bobcat levels. But Sonic fans are very enthusiastic about what was announced in San Diego and believe that it will be a great Sonic game since Sonic Generations.

I've been a Sonic fan since the 90s and I've always kept faith with Sonic and his community. I will critisize terrible Sonic games when I play them but no matter what I've always had faith in Sonic.

Sonic '17 was announced. Once more of Sonic '17 comes to light then things may really get rolling.
