Yuji Naka leaves SEGA like what

You see, the only reason I had faith in this new Sonic the Hedgehog game for Xbox 360 was because Naka was directing the game. If he's leaving, then I'm done with Sonic Team for keeps. Shadow the Hedgehog destroyed any faith I have in them to work alone. The only Sega games I will now buy come from Yu Suzuki alone. Other than that, bye Sega.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sonic Team didn't make Sonic Rush. It was outsourced. Also, Naka directed Sonic the Hedgehog 2, 3, Knuckles, and Sonic Adventure. After that, Takashi Iizuka took command. For the record, Iizuka is the director of SA2, Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Sonic Riders. Naka had some imput on Sonic Adventure 2, but that was the extent of it. Notice the decent in quality with each game as Naka had less and less to do with the series and Takashi was given more directorial reign? Takashi Iizuka was given Sonic to handle because Naka cared more about catering to Phantasy Star since he actually created that. For the record, Naka didn't create Sonic. He just takes credit for it. Naoto Oshima (talented artist and director who created Sonic CD and left Sega shortly after Sonic Adventure due to lack of credit for his creations) created Sonic, but that's no insult to Naka's directorial talent. Point is, if Naka leaves, Takashi Iizuka probobly gets full reign of Sonic Team. In that case, you can kiss hopes of ever getting another quality Sonic game goodbye for keeps.

Face it, Sonic is now given about the respect of a licensed children's mascot when it comes to gaming. If this new Sonic game might be Naka's last work, then I will retire from Sonic the Hedgehog after it's completion. It's not worth the time and money to play games from Takashi Iizuka.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
