But apparently it's overheating some android devices... So... Be careful.

The game is quite literally on fire.

That's a shame, I was so excited to download and play this game.

Clearly, this is a marketing stunt for Sonic Boom: Fire and Ice.

Next step will be the game causing iOS devices to freeze.

Setting the world on fire again, SEGA's BACK BABY!

Sonic Runners is great. I'm glad its finally available worldwide, I played it at first, but couldn't be bothered to download another APK. Runs the same as it did on my phone when i first played it. No new issues on my end. Laggy as ever, just signs that i need to get a new phone.

Ad's and other changes from the soft launch were to be expected, SEGA has to make money somehow. The ad's aren't that bad though. I can deal with them, its the ad's on Hardlight's games that I can't deal with. I wonder why SEGA made those games so ad spammy.

Also, there is a lot of objects on screen compared to other mobile games, and you can get going quite fast. Most mobile devs wouldnt try to push hardware like that, but you know, that's the Sonic Team way. So it's no surprise some phones are heating up so fast that their fail safes aren't even kicking in.

I wonder how much money that guy had to spend on the in-game gambling currency to get that stuff.

None. He is DsS and he collected a lot of Red Rings before the event started. Just like I did :)

I didn't really want to start a thread on something so trivial, but are SEGA actually making a "real" so to speak, Sonic game or is the handheld all we're getting now? Seems a shame if so, as after Colours and Generations they seemed to be getting the formula right. I think the only thing I would of changed is having the camera and levels a bit more like Adventure and getting rid of the boost button, but allow the speed to build through momentum.

Jury's still out on this one but I think they're probably working on something right now for next year's anniversary.  When ST lets go of 3/4s of their staff that's when we'll know it's mobile only from here on out.  I wonder if we would even hear about that if it happened though.

There is literally no doubt in my mind Sonic games will remain on Console and PC. Absolutely sure there will be one next year.

Oh, that's good to hear. Hopefully we'll hear something soon then. Now all we need to do is hope it's not like Lost world's and boom.

Hehe, yeah I know. I'm not one of those who instantly dismisses their new stuff mind. Sure, it's not the same as the Mega Drive or Adventure ones, but there's only been a few really bad clankers here and there. Boom, World, Sonic 06 and Shadow the hedgehog spring to mind.

Sorry Tad, Sega has exited the console market, mobile phones are the new hotness.

Hope you like Freemium Apps.

That can't be real, right? 

And no, I don't bother with Mobile games.

Whoa there partner.  Why would you lump SLW with those stinkers?  It's arguably better than Unleashed/Black knight/Secret rings.

Unleashed was a mix bag, but it's know where near the same category as the Black Knight/Secret Rings. SLW wasn't as bad as those two now that I think about it. It had some really frustrating design choices and I wasn't a huge fan of having to hold down a button to run. I actually preferred the way it encourages you to explore compared to SC and SG which felt way too fast for me mind.

SLW is great.
So is Unleashed and Secret Rings.

Some people take more enjoyment of trashtalking Sonic games instead of playing them.
That's why history is being rewritten and Sonic Adventure is now known as a classic shit game that everybody pretended to love. Never mind the millions of games sold and countless bright reviews.

Unleashed is garbage. It's notable for the fact that it was very nearly not garbage, but Sonic Team fucked up so much it was garbage anyway.

More than half the game is Werehog which is shit.
Even the daytime levels had some good stuff, but also had a lot of shit. The game was just PRESS A BUTTON TO GO REALLY FAST, LIKE REALLY FAST. KIDS LIKE FAST RIGHT?

The music was pretty good, except in true Sonic Team tradition they found a way to fuck up by making you listen to the SAME FUCKING SONG every time you did battle which was approximately 87 times every minute.

Game is objectively bad. Sorry Crackdude.

Unleashed is sweaty garbage steaming on a hot day. It's the game that began the greatness of 2D/3D sonic levels but they were bogged way down with so much shit. Like rifling through a medical waste bin for a gold tooth.

Man. This become my favourite song for the game:

Fun Fact: There is a beta version of this song that was leaked before but you can't listen to it here because SEGA will block the video. Google it.

Agreed 100%.  The daytime stages are incredibly overrated.  I screamed at the TV in Shamar when it forced me to do 20 string QTE button presses in 5 seconds or die. 

Don't listen to me though, I thought Generations was only okay and that Colors is god's gift to mankind.

Well I loved Colours too, but I also loved Generations... Both great games imo and on the right track for a modern take on Sonic.

Game is great. I enjoy playing it every morning and evening on my commute. That is what it's made for. It's not made to be played constantly.

Also today's update for Runners made my phone whine about running low on space, then i looked at my app list and saw Sonic Runners has 1.03GB of space on my phone, and that number is only going to get bigger as time goes on. Only Sonic Team would make a mobile game that takes up so much space! That is fine with me though. I like the game a lot.
