![]() Some people view it as a mouth piece of the company in many ways it very much is, others view it as a gateway to someone who works at the company. Because they think the twitter is more than that a twitter, even before this.unfortunate age of twitter, people believed for whatever reasons that twitter was held in higher regard than maybe it should be. However unfortunately the twitter account has taken a life of its own in some regards, there are actually a number of people who think like the guy you responded to. But I don't think the guy is mean spirited. So like I agree with what you are saying here. His focus was to interact and entertain the fans, always has, always will. ![]() It was never Aaron's intention to mock anyone, pretty sure he has said this a lot of times. The fact Aaron gave the clear for Big's Big Fishing Adventure 3 to be an actual game (He's not working on it, as some would believe) Get talented fan artists to work with the official Sonic artists and commission their work in some of the tweets (Rafa Knight is an example of this) A 24 hour charity stream that was very successful btw I'd say Aaron has already a lot of things to make a more positive image. If anything, it shows a sign of strength that the officials are aware of AND embrace their mistakes and moving forward to a brighter future or something like that. I wish Webber would actually work to make Sonic have a more positive image, instead of just enabling people that think we're all a joke. I'd think anyone with a position at SEGA should get common sense things like this, if they can't grasp that much they shouldn't be employed there.īut when people say "The Sonic Twitter is great because it knows how much Sonic sucks and the fans suck" that's a problem. "Listen guys, people want Eggman to be an actual threat, making him too big of a joke is detrimental to the franchise." "Listen guys, people want Sonic to be funny and quirky, but they don't want the whole plot based on jokes, they still want to take it seriously." "Listen guys, people want to play as Classic Sonic in his OWN games, they don't want Classic Sonic in Modern Sonic games, it's too much." What I'm suggesting here is that what he's relaying to Sonic Team is not something superficial like "people love memes," but rather something more like "people want it to be fun to talk about Sonic again," or "there's more enthusiasm for Classic-style games than Classic Sonic in Modern Sonic games," with a certain measure of backing evidence and detail. A lot of people have pointed to just about every one of the last decade's games as examples of Sonic Team's reaction or overreaction to prevailing criticism of the time, and I think Aaron as a community manager who's fairly in-touch with both the mainstream and the core fandom might be able to deliver those messages with a certain measure of balance or nuance. The ultimate question is, does Sonic Team actually listen to the feedback he passes along from the fanbase, which could affect both future Sonic games and possibly the franchise as a whole? What I'm referring to is his ability to relay the fans' thoughts to Iizuka and crew. I know Aaron doesn't have any "direct" power. I think the message of this topic may be getting misinterpreted. Titles like Lost World seem like the entire opposite of his taste for the franchise, and who knows, maybe that's why it sucked. (Otherwise given Iizuka's past I'd think we actually WOULD have gotten SA3 and Shadow 2 by this point if he didn't have to do what SEGA says) ![]() I mean, I get Iizuka is the head honcho of Sonic Team, but doesn't he still make titles based on what SEGA expects him to? Granted he/they can SUGGEST games but they don't really get to decide what they can do/make by and large, if SEGA says no they have to sit back down I would think. I don't think that's quite the right way to put it, considering by and large isn't it SEGA who tells them "Do it like this, do it that way, cater to this audience" and they have to basically operate by that demand/expectation from the company? I just don't know what the job entails and how far it goes. ![]() ![]() I think Mania's success could influence how Sonic Team develops games going forward.Īside from that and passing fan feedback to Iizuka I can't think of much he could possibly do. ![]()
