So, as it is now many people are questioning whether Sonic the hedgehog is dead or not. And this is a pretty serious topic and question to all Sonic fans. Many people are making memes and jokes about the blue blur and recently I came across a comment war on YouTube talking about the standpoint of Sonic and that I quote, "SONIC IS DEAD. HE IS DEAD." Many people are going across the internet saying that Sonic is no more and that he will die along with the other franchises like Mega Man and Bubsy to name a few. But is it true? Is Sonic no more like he used to be back in the day? So many questions, with so many unsure answers and thoughts. I want your opinion on this topic. So I ask you this question, "Do you consider Sonic as a joke? Is he dead like others say? Or is he still a way past cool hedgehog and will never die?" It all depends on how you view Sonic and how he really means to you. Be honest on your answer as this is a pretty serious topic to discuss.

It is not yet dead. On one side, the longer this situation is, the higher expectations fans want for the next Sonic game. Of course, if the next game doesn't meet standards for most fans, there will be huge impact to SEGA, if not saying, worse than Sonic's first dark age around 2006 - 2008.

I wouldn't say, Sonic is dead, but he's much different than ~20 years ago.
Though having a bad start, the Boom branch is thriving. They have one decent mobile game (You can't go wrong with an endless runner)
and another hopefully polished one coming out. The TV show is also doing great.
"Legacy Sonic" seems like he was hybernating. Sonic Lost World was the last big thing we heared. It wasn't as amating as other games, but still playable and enjoyable.
Runners was a nice try, but sadyla failed.
I have a feeling that Sonic Team is now taking their time with the new Sonic game and I think, that's a good Idea.
I'm pretty sure, we will be seeing a good solid Sonic game soon.

I'd Say he's not dead *YET*
There is still some hope in this unknown up coming sonic game. In my opinion
If this 25th anniversary is not quiet good enough and make sonic stand up like he was before in the 90's and early 20s
then, I would He is not going to dead only.even sega itself. because sega right now has noting other than sonic and football manager I guess

Actually, SEGA seems to get better now.
They are working on a new Wonder Boy game for example.
a series, mostly known on the Master System.

I wonder if that's my YouTube video you're talking about...
Anyway, to state here what I stated there (albeit much more concisely):
Sonic is dead (on the inside), the spirit of the character and the life and energy behind the entire franchise died shortly after Unleashed came out, at least as far as the main series is concerned. Granted, there's still hope for him, and he's still making games, but the Sonic I grew up with has been dead since 2008. I consider Unleashed to be a transition game. It still had some of the energy and sense of adventure that the old games had, but it had a lot of silly moments and too many "talking head" scenes. Then there was Colors... Meh.
Here's hoping he's resurrected soon!
