Sonic the Hedgehog Lead Reflects on SEGA's Road to the Dreamcast

Last summer, we sat down with Sonic Team Creative Officer Takashi Iizuka to discuss his multi-decade career at Sega. We learn about his childhood fascination with becoming a manga artist, the transition from college life to working at Sega, and his early career developing games like Devi and Pii, Golden Axe 3, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Iizuka remembers the excitement and challenge during the transition from the Sega Genesis (known as the Sega Mega Drive in Japan) to the Sega Saturn, which allowed the team progress from 2D pixel art to 3D polygonal modeling.
Notably, the Sonic the Hedgehog lead reflects on the early Dreamcast days, moving to the United States to better implement western culture into Sonic Adventure 2, and finally, describes his emotions after hearing Sega was exiting the hardware business and ending production of the Dreamcast.

Makes you realize how confused the brand was around the time of 2006 and onward. As he says, having multiple different directors each having their own vision is bad for the brand even though a lot of those games were good.

[@nicolaashamman6201]

Very special to hear, including that, like a lot of people at SEGA, they chose the company when NAMCO and KONAMI were also options. Also, that IIZ had aspirations to be a manga artist, it now makes more sense that he even did the graphics for DEVI & PII. The programmer he mentioned who was making that game with him is KOICHI TOYA, who, as far as I know, is still a programmer on the Phantasy Star series 24 years after the original Phantasy Star Online. Also, even he got to be a part of the debugging squad for Sonic 2! That's always fun when you hear about a big game designer getting a small start with another famous game, like how MAKOTO UCHIDA (designer of Altered Beast, GOLDEN AXE, WING WAR and DIE HARD Arcade) was on the test team for AFTER BURNER. It's a good point he made about storytelling techniques evolving over the console generations. Obviously different developers progressed differently, but they went from minimalist in-engine cutscenes and background details in Sonic 3 on Mega Drive, to full cinematics for NiGHTS on Saturn, to fully-voiced in-engine cutscenes + cinematics for Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast. Kinda interesting that everything SONICTEAM USA / SEGA Studio USA did from Sonic Heroes to NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams got a bit skimmed over here, although I guess it's fair since IIZ had become less hands-on and more management by then. That was a fascinating final question!

The formula that unleashed introduced literaly killed the sonic games, switching from adventure style play to boost formula

[@guesswho2337]

It's not that he doesn't appreciate Unleashed, he was just commenting on how the various teams working on Sonic games at the time were kind of pulling the series in different directions. Unleashed, Secret Rings, and 06 all came out within a two-year span and each one was radically different from the other. Given that the first games to come out after Iizuka pushed for a more unified vision were Colors and Generations, which both based their game design directly on Unleashed, I'd imagine he respects it well enough. The lack of production value since Unleashed has mostly just been a matter of Sega not being willing to put so much money into the franchise anymore. And Iizuka by all accounts has been pushing to change that (word is that he fought hard internally to get Frontiers as much dev time as it got).

[@evdestroy4121]

@@cJay19 This is blatantly not true lmao, the games only started going down in the late 2010s after they started straying away from the formula with games like LW and Forces.

[@unskilledgamer3642]

​@@cJay19 with the difference that Unleashed handled the boost formula quite well. The levels were created in a manner that boost made you proceed faster, but also gave you less time to react to obstacles. So you had to consider when to boost and when to let go. But with Colours and Generation following these formula, they started to remove those kind of obstacles wich turned the boost from a risk-reward mechanic into a boring instant win button. In that case I would not blame Unleashed for introducing the boost but rather Generations for completely missing the point behind the formula.

Who cares? This guy is creatively bankrupt & pooped 💩 out far too many medicore 3D sonic games over the last 20 years. He should be embarrassed.

[@MacUser2-il2cx]

Sega of Japan keeps dodging the Saturn and Dreamcast eras of console games, but they are just as good and just as important as the Mega Drive/Genesis.

[@adamn.4111]

Part of the reason might be that the Saturn and Dreamcast hardware was much more complicated than the 2D-based consoles that came before. Especially in the case of Saturn, it makes sense why there's been no mini console or re-releases of games on new consoles. Look at how long it took for the emulation community to get Saturn emulation right. Dreamcast is a lot less complicated than Saturn as far as I understand, but emulating a 3D-based console still takes some work. "The Saturn has a dual-CPU architecture and eight processors." ~Wikipedia Maybe you were thinking of game franchises from that era, and why they've not been revived (with new games). I could've misunderstood you.

[@MachFiveFalcon]

0:28 It's interesting that Iizuka didn't mention Square Co. and Enix Corporation, both based in Tokyo, as places to work. I guess they weren't as big as Sega, Namco, and Konami when he joined Sega around '92.

[@ObsessiveGeek]

Neither had their own consoles, the rest did.

[@MachFiveFalcon]

@@ObsessiveGeek If you're including arcade games with consoles, you're definitely right. It looks like Tokyo-based Tecmo made some arcade games, but I don't think they were as prolific as the "Big 3" Iizuka mentioned.

[@ObsessiveGeek]

@@MachFiveFalcon Yeah, he’s definitely pointing out the biggest players in the home console market. Sega at the time were the biggest competitors to Nintendo too so it definitely made sense to go with them.

[@ShelbyAQD]

This is rather interesting. The early divisions between the western and eastern Sonic branding are common knowledge, but I never guessed that a big reason for the series' constant experimentation through the 2000's came from a lack of top-level management within the eastern branch. I guess that helps explain why SEGA rarely refined their design decisions from one game to the next.
