I am so glad that its not a part of the Boom series, i mean shout out and mad respect to all 5 people who liked Sonic Boom (lol jk) but that game wasn't a Sonic game in my opinion. You could just have easily put Nathan Drake or Link in it and it being a sonic game wouldn't have come to mind.

On the matter of Classic Sonic, I have to agree with you again. Classic Sonic in Generations was really well done, but theres a whole new game dedicated to the classics, Sonic Mania. I wanted there to be more focus on the Generations formula. Something interesting to keep in mind, is that classic sonic has learned to boost, as seen at the end of both Generations and Project 2017. Perhaps this means that you can play the same stages with both hedgehogs, and their slightly different abilities will allow them to reach certain paths in the stage the other Sonic can't traverse.

Only time will tell :D
