Oh wow, is that a new title for Iizuka? Is that for all of Sega or just for Sonic?
>Team Sonic Racing comes out for the expected platforms on 21 May, and might not be the only Sonic game we see in 2019. Perhaps it's a quirk of translation - Iizuka-san speaks Japanese, I don't, so we converse through a very helpful middleman - but he makes a reference to there being Sonic titles, plural, in development right now.
I feel like he was mentioning the same thing he said at the SXSW panel, but on the other hand I can't help but wonder if there was more to the interview than that and he really did imply whatever they're developing is going to come out later this year.
>Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.
>I didn't really have a lot of control of that project
Who did then?
>post-Mania, I feel the character and the games have really turned a corner towards where we want it all to go
What does that mean for Modern? I hope it doesn't mean more games in the direction of Forces, but then again what else could he mean?
>"It's not a SEGA movie – we're not making it, or anything – and I'm only an advisor, really
Didn't he say in a previous interview that he was supervising the movie? I'm sure I remember him making it sound like he had a lot more control over it before.
>At the end of the day, it's up to the team at Paramount to make something successful
