Sonic Boom announced for 3DS and Wii U

[Terenigma]

What little of the gameplay it shows, it looks alright. Im quite happy to play as those 4 characters, even Amy and the levels look actually kinda fun. A little bit of platforming mixed with alot of speed. As long as its not bogged down too much with platforming and is more akin to how it was on SA2 then im all for that. Character models for Sonic and Knuckles look a bit weird but thats not a huge deal if the gameplay is good.

I dare say im optermistic about this (Altho i am aware that this IS a sonic game, biggest hype letdown game series ever)

Knuckles on roiiiiids!!!

Well, I don't know what to think of this really. Sonic has been destroyed so many times over and over, so you won't get any "oooh, Sonic doesn't look like this!" comments from me. Might be good, might be ass. What really let me down is the use of Bangarang. If you use brostep, use NEW brostep or even compose some of your own.

First it seems strange but then it looks alright... just give it a chance, if the gameplay is awesome you will not give a damn about the characters look.
And is a sonic game so you pass the time watching the character back and what is in front of that character not looking at the face or body.

After he ate Big the Cat's aborted body.

What, did he inherit the steroids of Jon st. John's more famous Duke Nukem?

 

[Bladexdsl]

they were on the right track with generations now they seem to be going backwards.....

the sonic cycle is indeed back

 

[wolf-snake]

Owwwww man, poor horsie

I was thinking more along the lines of South Park's Cartman, really.



BEEFCAAAKE! ;O;

Good game, yupyupyup - good game.

ilman Your post has been re-formatted to frontpage standards - hope you don't mind. Replaced the french trailer with an english one, courtesy of Ryupower - kudos!

Well, they still look similar style-wise.
That Sonic Boom Sonic looks like a Half-Human Half-Hedgehog.
And I won't ever talk about Knux.

Just when I think the Sonic franchise can't go any lower, they somehow find a shovel.

I almost spit out my drink when they started playing Bangarang. They've got nothing on my main man Sseth.

I didn't like Sonic Colors.
This looks better than that ?
I didn't like the gameplay ... felt off or something.

What do people think of Sonic Colors ?

Sonic Colours broke the infamous "Sonic Cycle".
I found it a good Sonic game, the gameplay was pretty good and the level design was okay, the wisp power ups were pretty cool.

I just looked ... I haven't played Colors very much.
IGN and IGN readers liked Colors (8.5/10) http://ca.ign.com/games/sonic-colors/wii-75624

I didn't like Secret Rings (6.9/10) http://ca.ign.com/games/sonic-and-the-secret-rings/wii-800277


Maybe I'll try it again.

What is the best Sonic for the Wii ?

 

[WhiteMaze]

I actually like the new design they gave Sonic, with the scarf and th- OMG WHAT'S WRONG WITH KNUCKLES??!1!!1?

The stylistic differences are plainly visible over the course of the games, which was actually the running gag of Sonic Generations:



Classic Sonic looks nothing like Modern Sonic, really - the proportions are all different and there's some added decals, like the green eyes or the clips on the shoes:

It's even more glaringly apparent in the case of Amy Rose:

The problem really isn't that the character designs have changed - you're entirely correct in saying that they do "look like themselves". It's rather that the new designs are a little bit bizzare in some cases.

IMHO it would be Sonic Colours.
I liked Sonic Unleashed too, it wasn't too bad.
Secret Rings and Black Knight aren't really Sonic games to me.

I don't really trust IGN for reviews.
You can't spell IGNorance without IGN.

Like'd for CRITICAL MISSION FAILURE. ;O;

(TARGET ACQUIRED. ACTIVATE SOMALIAN PIRATE. THEY'RE DEAD ALREADY... NEVR FORGET ;O; )

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Why would they ruin a perfectly good song like Bangarang?

Also Colors wasn't that great guys. For a franchise that used to compete with Mario it was lousy compared to Super Mario Galaxy.

 

[Metoroid0]

This looks HORRIBLE. I laughed when I saw sonic. xD

Um...how about knuckles?

 

[Metoroid0]

I'm going to give this a chance.

You can't blow something over until you try it, and I like when franchises go for a chance.
Change is good
Change we need.

im all for change, but not drastic change and with style..this looks like Americanization of sonic :3

Colors wasn't that great guys.

THANK YOU!

IMO, sonic heroes was last good sonic game game..after that he died...

 

[matpower]

Um...how about knuckles?

Cringeworthy.
(I still don't get why they screwed everyone's design...)
