"The fans [...] will be thrilled by Sonic 4 [...]: there’s no dialogue, no cutscenes and no sidekicks."
Are the fans in the room with us right now?
But really, even Sonic 3 and Knuckles (which I think was one, if not the most popular Sonic game in the fanbase back then) has plenty of cutscenes and a sidekick.
I know that hating Sonic stories and "Sonic's stupid friends" was the most popular game journalist opinion back then, but I will never understand how game reviewers thought "no side characters and no story whatsoever" is what Sonic fans actually wanted out of the franchise at any point. Unless the reviewer was so convinced that their own personal opinions reflected the opinions of most Sonic fans and they were thinking that they could speak on behalf of Sonic fans from around that time...? I really don't get it.
