Basically Christian Whitehead and a rag-tag group of fans saved the franchise, and it’s been slipping back into old patterns since. Frontiers introduced interesting ideas, but the next game needs to build on that, which, let’s be honest, it won’t.

Just give the franchise to the fans at this point.

Ehm, no? Christian Whitehead and co didn’t singlehandedly save the franchise, to think that is absurd.

Frontiers was the most acclaimed game of the franchise created by Sonic Team in years, and Sonic X Shadow Generations was created on the basis of Frontiers and was a success.

What about the movies? I’ve met more new Sonic fans who were introduced to the franchise by the movies than by Sonic Mania. It doesn’t even come close.

What Mania have to do with the fact that Sonic Racing Crossworld is one of the most anticipated games of the year?

Mania is great, and yes, it was an important part of the renaissance of the franchise, but not the only one nor the most crucial. We have to quit treating Mania like the second coming of Jesus, please.
