GameLoft Screw Up Confirms Existence Of “Sonic Runners Adventure”

1. thats lit! awesome

2. I’m weirdly kinda sad that Sonic Team isn’t on board this time, since this is their gameplay, but it does sound like it improves on all of the problems the original had, so I’m all for it.

3. How long before this game gets shut down too?

   How about 3DS release, instead of these mobile games or ports of console games.

   And are they trying to mock fans by using the Adventure moniker?

   1. There’s no sense to release one mini-game like this on 3DS. And even after the Sonic Runners shut down, remember: it was a ONLINE GAME, who ALWAYS have been played only with INTERNET SERVICE, but unlike original Runners, this will don’t need a Internet Connection, just like Sonic Dash (and even if they delete the app from store, if u make a backup, everything will work fine). And I think this “Adventure” thing it’s just to say “remember Sonic Runners? here a updated version who everyone was looking for” (remember Sonic Dash S?). Duh.

   2. The 3DS is far weaker than the cheapest mobile device nowadays and the market they’d get from it is tiny compared to mobile so why should they bother and instead just make unique games for it.

      1. At least give us something on the 3DS that isn’t watered down versions of Colors/Generations/Lost World, Boom, or 3D Genesis games.

         Maybe SegaSonic Arcade or Sonic Rivals 1 & 2.

   3. I’m still waiting for a 3D Classics version of Sonic 3 and Knuckles. And I gotta say, it’s not just Sega who’s been very slow with news. Nintendo fans want a new Nintendo Direct before E3, still nothing. And Capcom hasn’t been giving new info on Marvel VS. Capcom Infinite since last December. I just have ask on all accounts, What’s the freaking hold-up?!

      1. Don’t get your hopes up for ANYTHING Sonic on the 3DS in the future. If Nintendo’s statements on the Switch’s sales are anything to go by, it’s doing really well so far. And if it does meet their expectations, the 3DS will undoubtedly be phased out swiftly and silently.

         1. Is that why we’re getting Tank Troopers, Ever Oasis, and the Pikmin game on the 3DS?

4. I guess sonic team is not on bored with this title.

5. Fascinating!

6. What does everyone think of the reason for this mobile? Here, I believe, are the options. I believe a combination of these is also possible:

   1) SEGA could be using this app to test the waters and gauge the current market potential for a Sonic Adventure-branded title to determine if it is worthwhile to go forward and invest in developing a proper home console title.
   2) SEGA is using the Adventure name as a way to appeal to the nostalgia of Adventure fans and the general populace who fondly remember that saga (i.e. “nostalgia pandering”) and thereby dramatically increase mobile app sales.
   3) SEGA is merely using the word Adventure in the title since in their internal marketing research, studies found it to sound the most catchy and cool to the average person, but it actually has no intended connection to or relation with the original Adventure saga.
   4) (Insert your own theory here)

   1. *What does everyone think is/are the reason(s) for this mobile app?

   2. I accept 3 as an answer with a bit of 2.its coincidence that the name adventure is use and I doubt it creates interest to make adventure game as they don’t need to do that considering they know people want another one,this not like when it came to unleashed when they was originally adventure 3

   3. 4) they just put a new name to people think it’s a tottally new game and when played, see, “it’s a better version of Sonic Runners and I actually liked!”, because nobody play a game who had is name on fire.

   4. If that’s the case then does that mean Sonic Rush Adventure was testing the waters for another Adventure game?

7. So excited. If it’s half as fun as the original Runners, I will be pleased for a long long time.

   Just hope the sound track measures up. Runners was my probably favorite Sonic game in years, lol.

8. Honestly just waiting to see if it’s still gonna be 2D like before, personally I hope it is. Nothing against the 3D Sonic apps but if it’s a sequel to Runners I vouch for 2D, since I feel it just looks nicer. I can imagine it being both 3D or 2D however. 3D cause they could say something like, “this will advance the gameplay and graphics beyond what it used to be before” or 2D because, “as a faithful sequel to Runners we wanted to keep the original 2D side scrolling gameplay”.

9. I wish this app was out NOW!

   I’m really excited about being able to purchase everything via in-game rings.

   The modes sound like a lot of fun.

   And since this seems to be a reboot of the original Sonic Runners, minus the issues, this is probably going to be my favorite app this year.

   Hope it has tons of unlockable characters!

10. The original Sonic Runners had an unfortunate and quick demise, that it didn’t get a chance to compete with Mario Run. I’m guessing the relative success of that game (download-wise, even though it tanked in ratings) probably gave Sega enough boost in confidence to give the title another go.

    While endless running auto-gen levels are good, I’d really love for them to actually have a few pre-designed levels for the story mode, much like those of Mario Run.

11. Idk, how to feel when most everyone here is universally excited for another infinite runner iOS game yet I’m not even interested in the slightest.
    I mean, really? This is what everyone can come together and be interested in?

    1. This is what happens when there’s a news drought. People are so desperate for news that they’ll eat up almost anything at this point.

       It’s hard to get excited for these new games when there’s barely any news on them. I mean, I get it, they don’t want to spoil the games, but man, Mania is gonna probably be out in a few months, and they hardly talk about it. Forces is set to be out by the end of the year, and we’ve only seen 40 seconds of gameplay. They’ve really gone the opposite of extreme of the marketing for Generations.

       1. “This is what happens when there’s a news drought. People are so desperate for news that they’ll eat up almost anything at this point.”

          Except that’s not what is going on. Besides, we just got a bunch of news not even a month ago.

    2. Why is this a bad thing?

       Besides, it’s not like people haven’t been “coming together and being interested” for the other Sonic games coming this year.
