Tetsu Katano the director of Sonic and the Black Night was in a VideoGamer interview.

He was asked...

What kind of things would you have done differently (in Sonic Unleashed)? Will we see the Werehog again?


He replied

For the improvements, I can’t think of anything right now off the top of my head. If I think of any ideas then Sonic Unleashed 2 will be the time for that, so I don’t really have an answer for that. But you will see the Werehog again. I like Secret Rings very much, but when it came to making this title [Sonic and the Black Knight] we chose to do something different. All the good things about Secret Rings belong to that specific game. So in the same way, unless we’re going to make Sonic Unleashed 2 you might not see him again. But if we are going to make it, you might see him again. It’s a possibility.


The Werehog first appeared in Sonic Unleashed, and you could as the Werehog

It looks like we will see more Sonic games and some more Werehog action from Sega.

It's been implied over and over again; I should just macro that post, actually. People stating "NO MATTER WHAT SEGA DOES EVERYONE WILL STILL HATE SONIC" when there's really no support at all for that notion, since other franchises seem to manage not failing just fine even if they failed before.

Ya really, because all games sell whether or not they're any good. Sonic does well because 1) it's part of a long-standing franchise, and 2) it's hyped so much I wouldn't be surprised if the first alien race we contact feels it's more appropriate to fly the SEGA logo than the flag of a nation. The games themselves are only scarcely above average at best, and huge disappointments at worst. The console ones, anyway.

I'm saying that the Sonic fanbase and critics aren't evil and picking on Sonic and this implication I'm seeing everywhere that poor ol' Sonic Team will just keep gettin' hate no matter what it does is getting quite obnoxious. No, there will not be a perfect Sonic game, but it's totally plausible that one comes about that won't be disliked by everyone who isn't already a fan, and most who are. Yes, hyperbole, but you get the point. People have better things to do than to discriminate against a game franchise.

Werehog needs gameplay improvements, control improvements and it needs to be less of a gimmick and more of a proper gameplay element. And the levels need more balance to them. Stop throwing enemies about 5 times more powerful than you're capable of managing at the time. And there needs to be more extra lives for the Werehog levels if they put it on Wii again.

Third, I wonder how, since also at the same post, Bliz mentioned something on how he could become the werewolf without breaking the planet apart. Frankly I don't see how that may work. But, then again, if they use it like once more, it become overused and dull. So a new idea have to be made.

I liked the werehog. I found him quite easy to manipulate and control, and if you held down a trigger he ran at a decent pace. Now be grateful they're not thinking about bringing back Sonic Heroes. [shudders at the thoughts]
