S_Cero Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 So Sonic Boom was announced. Now after getting used to the re-designs of the characters (though I do really like Tails' one) I have to say this game actually looks promising. Like Ratchet and Clank mixed into Sonic. Game Trailer They are also making a TV show out of it. I like how it is keeping Colors' humor. Show Trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refa Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Looks thoroughly uninteresting to me. Disregarding the redesigns which seem to be getting a lot of flake, there's nothing in that trailer that suggests a great game on par with either the better Sonics or Ratchet & Clanks (which I actually might like more than Sonic due to personal bias and because they're like the 3D Mega Man games that we never got besides Legends which was also fantastic but in a less run 'n' gunny way if that makes sense). Also the name when combined with some developer I've never heard off isn't exactly filling me with hope. Why can't Sega just make a Sonic Generations 2... EDIT Also I haven't seen a single good 3D animated TV show... Edited February 6, 2014 by Refa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S_Cero Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 The team's CEO actually has a pretty good resumé. Having worked on 4 of the Crash Bandicoot games, the Jak games, and the first Uncharted game. http://brbent.com/team/bob-rafei/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnor97 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Well, besides Knuckles' design (but everybody is pretty iffy on that already), this actually looks pretty good. And I might check out the show, because I mean, it can't be that bad, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarusu Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 New Design? could it be other timeline or something like that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgar Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 New Design? could it be other timeline or something like that ? I think Sega has confirmed that this game isn't "canon", and the redesigns are ONLY for this game and the TV show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWill Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I think Sega has confirmed that this game isn't "canon", and the redesigns are ONLY for this game and the TV show. The redesigns I don't mind too much, but has the story been confirmed to be not canon? It looks like an alternate world, so it shouldn't matter too much, but considering the enemies don't look nearly as chidlish as in Lost Worlds and aren't simply what we've seen before like in Generations, I am pretty interested in this game and hope it's canon. Although I'm sure I'd prefer it being non-canon over something like 2006... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per most people, I like/am okay with most of the redesigns, but Knuckles will take some getting used to. From the looks of things, it won't be another Sonic 06... but only time can tell.

Jedi Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I bet a good chunk of sonic fans the same ones who despise his green eyes and modern design are fuming even more now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroMaster47 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) Ugh, that trailer looked awful. I appreciate that it seems to have more than just Sonic as a playable character, but everything else just looks so terrible. I hate the "music" used in the trailer, I hate the redesigns, and I hate the voice actors. Please, for the love of god, only use this for this game and this game only. Remember what happened when Crash Bandicoot got redesigned? Oh god, is the show keeping Colour's sense of humour? Fuck right off. This is gonna be another one of those things that only I seem to hate and everyone else loves even though it's clearly shit. The game better be fucking phenomenal.

Ike-Mike Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'm excited for the TV show. From that teaser alone it already looks better than "OH MAN, I'M A MEME." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondworld Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 This has already been said plenty of times, but Knuckles' design really bothers me. Not enough gameplay has been shown for me to really make any judgements, but I am very much excited for more playable characters. The show looks decent enough. For now I am cautiously optimistic.

Happy_Dingo Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Doesn't really give much to go on. Guess I'll withold my opinions 'til more info is out. I'm not usually a fan of Sonic games though. The ones on Genesis are fun, but the others usually don't do it for me. Also lol dubstep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondworld Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I bet a good chunk of sonic fans the same ones who despise his green eyes and modern design are fuming even more now "GREEN EYES!" "BLUE ARMS!" I'm not kidding, of all the drastic design changes, I see many people in youtube comments complaining about the blue arms.

HeroMaster47 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) "GREEN EYES!" "BLUE ARMS!" I'm not kidding, of all the drastic design changes, I see many people in youtube comments complaining about the blue arms. I'm seeing them too, and it's hilarious. The blue arms do bother me, but mainly because it's an inconsistency with the designs (and only ever happened as an error in the comics and cartoons). Look at Amy's design. Her arms are still skin colour, and Sonic's aren't. It's just inconsistent, and inconsistency bothers me (that's why I appreciate the centre mouth, because side mouths are dumb. The mouth is on the right side of his face! *camera change* suddenly it's on the left side of his face!). It's not something people should be freaking out over like they are. Honestly, the thing that's pissing me off the most is that Roger Craig Smith is still voicing Sonic (even if the game is good enough to warrant a purchase, I will mute the game because Smith's voice hurts my ears). The game *should* be good though, looking at the track record of the team's CEO, but knowing the Sonic franchise and trying to do something different, I don't have high hopes. Surprise me, Sega. Also have to mention, those in-game models look utterly hideous. Bad designs aside, they just look awful. The entire look of the game really reminds me of Crash Bandicoot as well. One more thing: do you think that Knuckles will be re-cast because of his redesign? I honestly can't see Sega keeping his voice the same as it is now, that would just make the whole situation even more terrible and hilarious than what it already is.
