One of the developers of Sonic Origins has come out against Sega to express frustration regarding the state of the aforementioned game. Sonic Origins was released earlier this week and although it was reviewed fairly well, there were some noteworthy bugs and unwanted changes noticed by fans. The Sonic franchise is no stranger to bad games or controversial releases among fans, but this one has a lot more backstory around it and has spawned plenty of drama. The new release was worked on by Headcannon, a team that worked on Sonic Mania, but one member of the team has some strong words about how it was released and even essentially disowned the final product.
This is frustrating. I won’t lie and say that there weren’t issues in what we gave to Sega, but what is in Origins is also not what we turned in. Integration introduced some wild bugs that conventional logic would have one believe were our responsibility- a lot of them aren’t.
