Comments of the Present Triumph Past Problems
Out of nearly 500 votes, the results of the latest TSSZ News @Issue poll indicate, by a three to one margin, that Sonic fandom puts their trust in Tetsu Katano on the state of the Sonic Team.
If you don’t recall, TSSZ News broke the story last January of Ben Andac, a former Sega employee who spoke of horrors within the halls of Sonic Team–and foretold the existence of Sonic the Werehog in an upcoming Sonic title, that being Sonic Unleashed. More than four months later, the Sonic Team’s Tetsu Katano responded to those allegations, and claimed the environment of today is not that of before. We asked which side you believe more.
Of those who participated, 75 percent believe Tetsu Katano, and only 25 percent still believe Ben Andac.
A new poll is now available for your participation.

Hehe, I voted the werehog in the new poll.
Though I wanted to vote Fang, too. I’ve never actually seen him in any game I own, and would like to see him back and CG-ified.
VECTORMAN!!!!
for the poll 
he rocks 
I voted Fang @TailstheHedgehog, only for that reason that you said Tails the only game i own that has Fang is Sonic Fighters and Sonic triple trouble, but I would like to see the Werehog too in SSASR, but the character I would like to see the most in SSASR is METAL SONIC it’s simply one of the best characters in Sonic franchise!
I barely can’t wait for SONIC UNLEASHED 2 «or something like that with the HEDGEHOG ENGINE, I just hope that they make a SU2 but with stages like the old school sonic games, for example: Stage 1 – Act 1 ; Stage 1 – Act 2 ; Stage 1 – Act 3 (with boss battle).
), Tails, Knuckles, Metal Sonic (it rocks), Robotnick (lol something like that).
Those kind of things, or simply make more stages, the Werehog wasn’t that bad I like him like most people do, but if Sonic Team (Sega) want to change that, they could make Sonic stages (Daytime and Nighttime) and make some Knuckles stages with some badnicks to destroy, or something like that.
«««Edwin Shy:blueblur: The werehog wasn`t all bad here one reason why : Made kick some major ass »»» – I agree.
I just Want METAL SONIC’S to come back if they make a SU2 I just wish it has Stages like those i said before and it could have more playables like Sonic(best ever
I just want a SONIC UNLHEASED 2!!!
SONIC RULES!!! LOVE U SONIC!!!
So wait…
This Ben Andac guy not only brings up the state of sonic team and how they are force to fling in a gimmick and churn out endless games which we can all see. He also brings up the werehog waaaaay before the character is seen….
but people trust this guy Tetsu Katano who obviously has to stand up for sonic team because he is working for them and was probably force to protect them. Jesus christ!
@Danielle: Kinda hard to trust a guy who gets fired for breaking NDAs. Just my point of view.
Voted “Other”. Beat in a giant pair of in-lines!
75% agree with Katano over Andac? Well, agreeing with Andac seemingly puts you in the “negative towards Sonic” situation, so the poll results is a giveaway.
One person says… “good” the other says… “bad.” The difference is, Katano actually has to stand up for the team. If you’ve witnessed any pre-Sonic 06 interviews(right before the game was released), Sega would occaisionally say a not-so-nice thing about the status of Sonic games, but “this time things are different.”
Personally, I think Sega should spend more time creating the games. The games seem so great in potential other than the “if only they spent more time” issues. A 2012 release date for the next big Sonic game would be fine for me if it means alot of time spent on it.
Also, I saw in an interview, that Sega’s reasoning for Werehog is because it’s hard to design Sonic levels due to them needing to be X amount of miles long, and it’s alot of work for their artists. So, then I see reasoning for Werehog or treasure hunting.
Even so, a year or 2 of additional development time could probably work wonders.
Andac was the only guy with a rational mind and you ignore him? He was telling the truth… the uncensored truth! lol
I voted for Ulala from Space Channel 5. IMO, Werehog is good only for an adventure game, Fang is boring and annoying.
I hope they make Sonic Unleashed 2. And if they do, they should bring the were-hog and Chip into it.
i vote the werehog and i want sonic unleashed 2 so they can make the game.
And i want super forme and charathers like sonic,weresonic,superweresonic,eggman,chip,dark gaia,dark morthen gaia,nega and amy
@well on: I will like you to actually think about what they said about the making speed levels takes many artist.
Is it quicker and cheaper to make more speed levels orrrrr is it quicker and cheaper to make a whole new style of gameplay, level style, animations, graphics, enemie patterns, move lists and bosses?
I want to Fang in SSASR mean he would fit
You can;’t argue that Sonic Team’s been in a right state, we’ve all suddenly had a moment when we’ve wondered what the heck are we doing? Following the franchise many critics claim to be dead.
Andac was letting off some steam, Katano was just doing his job; he could hardly say ‘yeah we ARE in a right mess…but we’re getting better!”
The only way I can look at it is to look at the whole franchise with SU at the very top: it was a step in the right direction. If we had had another fiasco like in 2006…I don’t know whether I would have remained too much of a fan; I still would have bought the games, but I wouldn’t hold my breath about it.
I remember I’ve said before that SU would decide whether Sonic Team were still worth believing in, I don’t know about anybody elses opinions, but SU gave me enough confidence to be able to ignore Andac, likely placing myself in denial, and side with Katano.
*is to look at the whole franchise is with SU at…*
Aw, come on! The Werehog in SSASR? Bullshit! Sonic’s already in the game (he’s in the goddamn title!), and they’re both the same person.
VECTORMAN deserves some love. Seriously. Or at the very least, Nack/Fang. But not the Werehog.
Don’t get me wrong, I haven’t got much against him, but seriously? You’ve gotta be kidding me.
It’s just the opinion of a few people, this is only a poll it’s not like it’s actually going to happen…
Did you guys forget about Beat for the poll? (Jet Set Radio)
Werehog! Everybody like me!
And I want Sonic Unleashed 2! SU was a response to Super Mario galaxy. Now Mario comes with SMG2. Then Sonic has to make a SU2! Sonic UNLEASHED!!!!
I didn’t vote in the last poll. I didn’t even know who either schlub was and honestly I didn’t care. Katano just sounded like the guy they picked to rebut bad comments and Andac was just the guy who was pissed he was let go. It wasn’t any more than that to me.
So any how, I cheated on this poll, I didn’t know which to pick so on my PC I picked ‘Other’ (bring back Sketch Turner for the win), and chose Vector Man on my Wii. Also, why do people want the Hedgewolf (Werehog)? It’d be like having Super Sonic as a separate character.
I voted other, hoping for Mighty.
Ryo from Shenmue, because then when a fighting one comes out he’d own with his mad karate skills! XD
