Iizuka keeps saying he doesn't want to be stuck in the past, but we've been stuck with modern Sonic longer than any version of Sonic that came before it. Same with the voice actors. I hate modern Sonic. Adventure Sonic is not modern Sonic. The Adventure games are actually GOOD. Not only that, the Adventure games always bring the fans together like with year of Shadow, the Sonic 3 movie, every time Crush 40 plays "Live and Learn" at a concert and the fans sing along with it, every time the question of the Adventure games returning is brought up to Iizuka and the fans go nuts, the Chao coming back in recent games and all the indie games recreating them in their own way... I could go on. When indie devs made Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, Sega took notice and is making a new Jet Set Radio. Why not with Sonic? Because Iizuka is in charge of Sonic Team. Sonic Team today is not what it used to be back then. He ALWAYS makes up lies or excuses. His games SUCK. Yeah he was involved with older Sonic games too, but i'm starting to question how much because he seems like an untalented hack on his own.
