Looking at the trailer in HD now, it actually looks pretty fun. Looks like they're really pushing the Wii U graphics. Shame no PS4/Xbone though... would've made sense to make it multi-platform. The next thing I'm hoping for is... no former Amy voice. Rather not listen to a bratty Minnie Mouse the whole time.

Not all of the people acting that way are fans. Someone else on Kotaku kinda yelled out hipster Sonic. http://kotaku.com/meet-the-new-sonic-and-his-next-game-1517561472 Edited by Havoc the Tenrec, Feb 6 2014, 11:26 PM.

I just realized something else that's totally throwing me off... Sonic's arms are blue now... But I'm loving Tails's model a LOT. Sonic's brand of humor just doesn't really work in the tv trailer... I guess that's the part that's supposed to appeal to kids, combined with the style of voice acting. Edited by Havoc the Tenrec, Feb 6 2014, 11:45 PM.

It's definitely supposed to appeal to kids more, but hey it's Sonic. |

Yup... I just hope this new brand doesn't carry over to the rumored movie. Seriously though, the game models look better than the show's. Edited by Havoc the Tenrec, Feb 6 2014, 11:58 PM.

Here, I did a full analysis on the Sonic Boom redesigns. Also, Boom has been confirmed to be its own thing separate from the main series. You won't be seeing much more in the line of Boomverse videogames unless the animated series is a grand success. |

That's not fucking fair and you know it. I don't even agree with that Unleashed/Knux fallacy and even I know literally nobody asked for Knux to be turned into a bloody mutant. Nor did anyone ask for them to reinstate the genre roulettes that multiple playable characters got scapegoated for in the first place. This isn't about Sega listening to fan demand, this is about Sega twisting it to make it look like they did. Well, either that or them completely missing the point, but either way it's still no different from making Sonic alone and still somehow managing to make the game suffer in ways other characters were previously seen as responsible for (Unleashed namely). The worst thing about this is that it's pretty much a Catch 22. If the game succeeds, Sega'll see it as a success for the new designs and keep using them. If it fails, they'll see it as a failure for making other characters playable again, method be damned. Normally voting with your wallet is enough, but all that really tells them is how many people are buying it, and not why. EDIT: couple of things I'm noticing slowly sifting through the gargantuan SSMB threads: - Outsourced to Big Red Button (former Naughty Dog members from what I hear) - Runs on CryEngine 3. - Sanzaru Games is handling the 3DS version (NO DIMPS THANK FUCKING GOD FINALLY) - Has four player splitscreen - Has a hub world (ala SA1 I presume?) - Sounds pretty combat heavy (though I guess it's not like we expected any different with Buffles in the cast) - Sonic has blue arms (apparently this matters? I guess it'll get wierd to look at after a while) - Amy isn't an obsessive love interest here (if anything she's a motherfucking badass) - Lots of exploration involved (not an outright open world game though) - Still has 2d/3d perspective switching (why the fuck are they still doing this?) - No single character is ever outright necessary, but there are paths accessible only by some. - Has been in development for two years so far.

If Sega decides to keep the new designs, though....would that really be a bad thing? I suppose it would be, if you're Nicochi... |

It actually kind of worries me when fans/regular gamers shrug off all the random redesigns through the years. There's such a thing called consistency. Sure, characters may naturally change through time, but popular mascots... it's a bit of a different ballpark. It shows the company's too insecure about their initial decisions from the past because they keep seeing lackluster results. Green eyes and longer feet aren't really that big of a deal anymore... but a few more redesigns into the future, you probably wont even recognize him anymore. You'll end up seeing Sonic or another character looking like a sonic fan character that an artist added one or 2 small changes to and claims it as his own. I agree with BL though. If it's successful, they'll make another one like it. I could live with that if they revert back to the previous models, because the gameplay sounds like the SA games, which is getting me pretty excited. Edited by Havoc the Tenrec, Feb 7 2014, 03:24 AM.

Nicochi complained if anyone was so much as given a fucking eye colour. Most of what we see here is a lot more drastic than that. Knux was already evocative of the strong type of the bunch because he was the token boxer, for example, and nothing more than body language (and the fact that he can toss a bloody big boulder in of itself) was ever really needed. What they did was pretty much going over the top for the sake of it - they want to rub this trait in your face and forget any sense of subtlety whatsoever - and for Sonic that's really saying something, considering his name is literally Knuckles. Let's not forget that all that bulk is actually counterproductive too - need we forget that he's supposed to be able to glide through the air with all that weight? |

-That's starting to confuse me; what the hell happened to Sonic Team? They haven't been credited at all since Generations. Are they still around, or has the studio actually been 100% absorbed back into SEGA and I missed the news? -Anyone other than Dimps is a fucking welcome change after all the shitty PS2/Wii/DS/3DS ports. The Rush games were alright, though. Not sure what to think about Sanzaru, after what happened with the latest Sly Cooper game. -Is this in the story mode? Because I can have no issues with this, because I've wanted something like that for so long. Just as long as there aren't any of those stupid as fuck distance limiters. -OH HUB WORLDS HOW I HAVE MISSED THEE -Totally looking forward to smacking things around with Amy -She was the only one who didn't land flat on her face in that trailer OF COURSE SHE'S A BADASS :3 -Awwww, you meanies, SEGA -I don't really mind this, but I'm still fucking terrible at the 2D sections, so I'm naturally gonna die a lot in this game. Just so long as it isn't as fucking cheap as Lost World was. -Hey, we can play as more than just Sonic again, that's good enough for me. Can't really say I'm enjoying the modelling in the game. It look even worse than SA1 and '06 combined. The TV series models are fucking awesome, though. Totally looking forward to this, though I'm still kinda disappointed at the 11 minute episode length for the series. Full length episodes would be really cool. |
