Sonic BOOM!


Sega's apparently doing a whole relaunch of the Sonic franchise. New games, new character designs AND a TV Show next year!

Doesn't look too bad. Probably check it out.

Guess they must've really liked Eggman's American actor from Sonic X, to bring him back to the role in this. Though I do think Robotnik is a better name.

Did TMNT start some kind of bandage wrap fad?

Re: Sonic BOOM!


I kind of thought of that, too. I guess when you have an iconic character that's known for basically being naked, the easiest way to redesign him without compromising the "feel", is to just use wrappings.

Re: Sonic BOOM!


The designs are awful, especially Knuckles. Wtf did they do to Knuckles?

Cartoon looks like cheap, low budget, empty CG (same complaint we had with Prime's season 1 - i stopped following it after that, dunno if that was ever resolved), wasn't real impressed with the teaser, but who knows, maybe it'll be decent.

And I'm sure the tie-in game will be terrible, so.. sigh. Let the Hedgehog die, Sega. Just.. let him die.

I would love to be proven wrong, but eh.. track record is pretty against him at this point.

So, does Sonic now only run fast and collect rings ironically?

Re: Sonic BOOM!


quote:

Rafei, who founded Big Red Button following a 13-year art-directing stint at Naughty Dog, describes Sonic Boom as a “real solid character-adventure story.” Departing from the franchise’s action-platforming roots, players can expect more exploration, and a heavier focus on combat, narrative, and personalities. And, as in the show, the whole gang gets equal screen time.



So... it's going to suck, as predicted. No one wants a plodding adventure, non-platforming, dialogue heavy, story laden Sonic game you don't !@#$ play as Sonic in. Didn't we already have this conversation with Heroes, Sega?

Can you just send it to WayForward when they're done with the Castle of Illusion remake, already? :no

That makes it sound to me like they've been listening to the hardcore Sonic fans and trying to give them what they want. And as we all know, that will not end well. They just need to make a solid platformer with broad appeal. The Sonic fans will fill in all the lore on their own.
