Sonic Team: A Developer's Nightmare?
Sonic Team is widely regarded as an empty shell, a pale imitation of the development team whose mascot once rivaled Mario for control of the video game industry. Though the games continue to sell, and Unleashed is considered by some to be an improvement (however mildly so) on what SEGA has ...

Sonic Team Trapped In Own Personal Hell?
Press The Buttons — ... productions over the past few years (or console generations, depending on your pain and tolerance thresholds), but maybe we've been focusing our malcontent notions on the wrong department.  All this time I assumed that it was Sonic Team that has somehow dropped the ball time after time on what makes a proper Sonic game work when, if this story over at Kombo about some now-deleted blog entries from a former Sega employee is to be believed, the development team has been trapped in its own personal Hell in which it cranks out profitable Sonic game after ...

Sonic team sucks, and now there is proof

Sonic and the Black Knight Features Multiplayer Deathmatch Mode, and More Info
Kombo.com — ... I am a Sonic the Hedgehog fan, I tend to view him more as a comic book character first, video game character second.

That said, we've got some new info for ...

Rumor: Another SEGA Employee Squeals on Sonic Team?
Kombo.com — [image] Several weeks ago, we brought you the story of a former SEGA employee who, perhaps a bit unwisely, ventured forth onto the internet and revealed some of the secrets behind SEGA and Sonic Team to the masses at large. It would seem he was on the level, as his early talk of such game elements that would solidify themselves in last year's Sonic Unleashed were proven true. Now, it seems another employee of the House of 'Hog has stepped forth to dish dirt on what happens behind the scenes at SEGA, and what we can expect from Sonic in the future. That is, assuming he's the ...
