Team Sonic Racing is a Sad Game

- You know things are bad when a super hardcore fan doesn't like any of the characters in the series, and they aren't really interested in the current stories being told at all. These days, my interest in Sonic is purely for the gameplay. And it's a pleasant surprise when I see a story element that resembles Sonic in some way.
This might seem a bit contradictory to what I said in my video about "Classic Sonic", that I'm okay with multiple Sonics. Thing is, I'd like at least one of those Sonics to be one that I like. If I had that, I wouldn't care what else is going on. That's why the Archie comics never bothered me. I just ignored them and played the games.

New video series: “Sonic was always Depressed”
The fact that they went from a collab-filled racing game that was racing & transformed to one of the driest sonic games with a tiny and boring roster of characters is depressing.
Don't ask questions, just consume Sonic and then get excited for next Sonics.
Arguably movie sonic is the least of our problems since Paramount has a clear idea of what their sonic is. Sure it's not the sonic that we want but at least he actually has continuity unlike forces and frontiers
Sorry, but as a Gen Z, the true Sonic (to me) is something like a cross between his in-game characterization in the Classics, his characterization in the Adventure era, and his characterization in Ian Flynn's works. I grew up with the Archie Comics post Ian Flynn takeover, so to me his Sonic has always been what he's supposed to be.
He keeps edging us with the Ian Flynn critique
dude cooked this up quick ‘cause just last night he was saying he might not make a video 😭
When he said "but I don't know if I like any Sonic character now" I thought, it's exaggerated, they won't be well characterized, but it doesn't matter if it's a racing game...Then I remembered that this game has a story, dialogues in game, and cinematics consisting of pngs that you have to read
'Who's your daddy, Shadow.' I remember first hearing that and having my soul leave my body.
This game doesn't even get the Sonic Was Always Good series title.
Oof, the "Sonic was always good" title is gone... we're in the endgame folks.

To add onto what you've said here, I think what I have always admired is that Sonic has tried its best to have a sense of character consistency throughout the years. You could obviously point out subtle differences between portrayals and writers, but there was never really a debate as to whether or not this was SONIC. It was just different styles or portrayals which fit his core ethos since his inception. He was always doing radically different stuff, but no matter what situation he found himself in, you could take solace in the idea that this was the character you had been following for years, more or less.
I mean, sonic riders arguably makes the MOST sense actually. Obviously you have to nerf Sonic's speed because he is The Fastest Thing Alive™️, so he's provoked into air riding by Jet, and simply complies with the rules for the challenge.
it feels like the cast just went from being flanderized in the 2010s to becoming a character archetype checklist.

The plot being Cars 2 with Sonic characters is so funny to me
I feel like with the concept of Sonic always changing the term "My Sonic" means something different to everyone depending on when they got into Sonic and what sonic content they're consuming. I believe this is a point you've brought up before.
Reminder they wasted a Crush40 song and two part animation with this game.
The worst part is that team Sonic racing isn't even a bad game, it's just forgotten because Sega didn't even bother supporting it after it dropped
