In a recent interview with Marketing Week, Sega Europe’s marketing director Jon Rooke surprised by apologizing for the quality of recent installments to the franchise. “Sega has publicly apologized to the fans as the quality of console games in the Sonic franchise hasn’t been acceptable over recent years,” he said. “It’s been tough translating that iconic side scrolling 2D experience from the '90s into 3D, but Sonic is still huge for us so the new games will be more inspired by how it played in its heyday,” (via Comic Book).
