I’d say it was the height of 3d sonic games.
Blizzcon is going to be LIT, I bet they are only going to be taking questions from corporate yes men out of fear of getting roasted by anyone in the audience.

Height of 3D Sonic to me was Colors or Generations

How could you spell 3D blast incorrectly twice in one sentence?
Here’s what I don’t understand. Why didnt sonic team just stick with a formula that worked and improve upon it? Like let it actually get stale before completely staring over. every game was just something totally different when we enjoyed the last game and wanted more of it but expanded upon.
Its Starfox Syndrome. Ya had something that worked. And instead of improving upon it. You just go and do WAY too much.

What was the deal with Sonic Forces? Never played it
And then should revisit that Sonic Xtreme concept and make it not suck
Ha, yeah at this point… I’d just shamelessly plant certain people dressed up as “fans” in the audience to ask pre-determined questions instead of taking the chance on letting real audience members have the mic for a second 
One unfortunate, depressing thing about Nintendo just hit me the other day… the notion that more than likely… the next system after Switch will probably be nothing like it, since that appears to always be their gameplan. This is my favorite thing they’ve ever produced and by quite a large margin… so anything else that isn’t simply a more powerful “Switch 2” or “ULTRA Switch” or whatever…will be disappointing for me…and knowing how they roll…that’s exactly what’s bound to happen.
i actually expect a switch 2 under a different name i also expect a shameless sony ripoff of the switch by mid next gen.
I forgot about Sonic Lost World (hugs Wii U copy with the NiGHTS level), that reminded of the Sonic X-Treme concept, and yeah, I’ll go to bat for that game.
Also this. SA2 was went more linear and I was like “Why?”
The only thing I legit don’t like in Sonic are the Wisps. The one part in Lost World that is baffling. At the time I didn’t know they were in Colors.
You could work they’re utility into Sonic’s moveset with different types of control methods like button combinations. I’d put them as a blight on Sonic more than his friends.
im still mad about star fox zero that was probably a franchise killer and for what? miyamoto couldn’t let go of the wii u pad that game would have been fine with regular controls.

Yeah. SFZero was the only Wii U game I regretted buying.
You could tell there was a good game there but the controls were just so frustratingly bad no one got to see it.
The story being another rehash didn’t help either tho.

Gameplay.
Is it me or did Nintendo borrow that spherical world concept from Sonic X-Treme and use it in Mario Galaxy? Maybe that was out before X-Treme, but that game was the first time I’ve seen that concept used
Rouge is Shadow’s best friend and a sort of love interest for Knuckles. Unless Shadow is around she adds nothing. The others don’t add shit other than being roster padding for spin-offs.
The biggest thing about Sonic Forces is that you can create a character in it. As far as the game, it has the same gameplay as Colors and Generations but the level design was a massive step back. The majority of the levels were bland, boring and didn’t add any new gimmicks to mix things up. Some of them are super short.
It lean on nostalgia when it didn’t need it. There was no point in classic Sonic being in the game and the return of classic stages was unnecessary. Between Generations and Mania, the nostalgia card wore out it’s welcome.

Still haven’t played it personally, but it looked like they did but just added Mario gameplay to it. I still need to get around to playing the SMG games.
RE: Starfox Zero. I liked it, especially the on-foot Chicken Wing sections. I didn’t finish it and need to hook up Da U for it and to finish my Twilight Princess HD playthrough.
They should’ve gave it to P* from the start, or pony up the cash and summoned Treasure back from the grave and have them work on it. I didn’t mind the controls, just the pace of the game itself.
Debatable. I mean if we talking just gameplay.

I completely forgot that Shadow and Rouge were cool with each other. Ok I’ll give her that.
Rouge, Shadow and Omega all work for GUN after ShtH which is why I found it strange that neither of those 3 did anything during the events of Unleashed. Pretty much anything that is an immediate planetary threat should involve them in some fashion.
Classic Sonic was really forced in Forces. There really was no need for him to be there and as you played the game it became more and more apparent. As usual though most of the music was in point.
