People in that gaf thread weren’t kidding about it looking similar to ratchet & clank environments. Like the redesigns except for the legs being too lanky on all the characters.
I DEMAND an updated segment on how climbing into washing machines is bad.
I’m surprised it took until now to name something “Sonic Boom.”
Sonic Boom was the song for Sonic Cd’s opening
Bandages galore
Like belts in an Arc Sys game
Not sure what to think
The scarf is cool, but I don’t know how much I’m digging the blue armed, super lanky sonic design.
They’ve been training with the yeti from wcw. This is the greatest moment in the history of sonic.
They look like the new movie Ninja Turtles (wearing a bunch of shit). I guess that’s what’s hot now.
Some more info on the development of Sonic Boom from Polygon
This game and this cartoon series is for the most part SoA’s baby. Iizuka is overseeing the game but for the most part everything is being done by western hands. The goal is to do a series of Sonic run by the SoA branch to coincide with the Sonic Team’s. This is ALMOST like how it was back in the day with STI and Sonic Team. So yeah this is the first time in a while that the American branch has had deep hand in molding anything with this franchise.
Edit: This article is a good read. I highly recommend doing so. As of at the moment this is pretty much western market exclusive. These games aren’t slated to come to Japan.
Western focused?
The new main enemy is “darker and more foreboding than Eggman is.”?
It’s happening, guys. Tails Gets Trolled is becoming cannon.
If you haven’t experienced the madness:
High Shovel!
Cool this is being worked on by the Jak and Rachet guys though. Hope it turns out well.
So apparently Crytek and Big Red Button snuck in a sneak peak at the game in Crytek’s demo reel last year.
I think Sonic Boom looks greah. Im not trippin too hard over Big Knuckles…but he is my fav Sonic character. But the looks like its gonna be fun as hell. Lookin forward to the series as well. Wonder how it will compare to Sonic X
A sonic game that has heavy Ratchet and Jak influence get’s me really interested. I’m sure that as long as they have the time to develop it with no rush, it’ll be fun. But if they’re pushing for it to come out around the debut of the TV series that could be problematic.
It shoukd turn out fine. I thnk a fall release is good. Just dont release an unfinished sloppy product Sega lol
Hearing that ex-Naughty Dog guys are working on a Sonic game is almost surreal, given how many times I’ve opined for it.
This would be like if BioWare or Obsidian Entertainment got the rights to reboot Chrono Trigger.
Well people are saying it doesn’t have any Chris Thorndyke characters in it soo…for most people that’s already a big plus on its own.
This game has been in development for some time it seems and the plan is for it to be released in the fall about the same time as the show.
So far aside from the various opinions on the redesigns it seems the overall consensus on the gameplay is cautiously optimistic. This should be interesting…

YOU’RE GODDAMN RIGHT.
Those character designs are very… ehhhh to me. It’s as if no one takes courses on Character Design anymore…
You don’t make anthropomorphic characters that many heads tall and angular without some sort of clothing or armor- That’s why Knuckles and Sonic look so off, yet Amy and Tails are fine.
It’s a subtle design point that a lot of artists overlook but its one that should always be followed, especially for anything that moves a lot like the Hedgehog.
Both Sonic and Knuckles look awful.
At the risk of getting weird, I much prefer when the clothing on anthropomorphic characters still covers the crotch. See: Crash Bandicoot.
What will Sonic Boom mean for the comics? Will Archie adapt it with the current canon or give it it’s own book?
