More on Sonic Boom here.
According to this Eggman is a secondary villain in the Boom series. That’s kinda lame for the series most iconic villain to be demoted.

It’s not really any different than its been for the past 10 or so years.
Eggman/Robotonik being the baddie, some shit happens now someone else is the supreme baddie that everyoen needs to work together to defeat.
Just watched the gameplay trailers for Sonic Boom…Holy fuck.
I have defended sonic games for years (except 06, you can’t defend a game that isn’t finished) but this is just unforgivable, especially the 3DS version.
I’m sure it will be fun to play, but it is NOT a sonic game. Can’t wait for mainline Sonic to come back.
Idk if this is one of those links you posted, but heres a wii u gameplay vid that came out.
Big Red Button has been the game will focus on exploration, action and co-op since the game been announced and that’s exactly what the gameplay showed so why the shock? They said it wasn’t going to be a typical Sonic game from the start. Being a subseries gives them this kind of freedom.
Not too interested in it now. Still though I hope it does decently cuz it could be interesting.
Game looks like Naughty Dog Sonic. Which I approve of.
Just saw the Wii U gameplay, this looks like something vastly different that no one really saw coming. I dig it. Mainline sonic is still going to exist, let these guys try their hand in this series.
Also, the 3DS port looks okay, will prolly get it too.
This is fine as a sub-series doing its own thing.
However, I do hope, when main continuity Sonic comes back, someone remembers the good work that was Generations-- Which was a game that did the one thing we all wanted for years-- a Sonic game that was about Sonic being fast and finding the best paths through each level that allowed for Sonic to be, well, The Fastest Thing Alive…
No animal friends, no shoe-horned alternate gameplay… Just a blue hedgehog moving really, really fast.
It’d be better if the speed caps were switched around. In the side-scrolling sections you’e rocketing forward so fast that it’s pretty much impossible to see where you’re going. Meanwhile, the combat scenes are so slow-paced when you’d expect to be zipping around enemies like you’re in SMBZ or something.
The cartoon looks like it might be fun, but the game so far just seems kind of directionless.
I’ve always found the complaints about Sonic’s animal friends making the games suck to be unjustified. When you look at the games that were well received by fans like portable games Advance, Rush and Rivals all which had multiple playable characters and that wasn’t a strike against any of those games. What those games did right was not change the core game when playing a different character. They had their own quirks but it was still a high speed platform game with multipath levels. I like most of Sonic’s cast of characters and it sucks most of them have gone underutilized in the recent games.
I liked some of that alternate gameplay.
I feel you though.
I agree completely.
I should have said "no animal friends breaking up the basic gameplay with shitty mini-games like minesweeper and (however relaxing) fishing…
If Big the Cat came back and was (inexplicably) running through levels almost as fast as Sonic, but had a unique belly splash attack that launched enemies like projectiles, that would be fine, because I’m still running at high speeds through multi-pathed levels.
Holy shit Sonic Boom Wii U actually looks good?! Loving the colors, the level design, the 3D beat’emup/platforming mix, and the beam stuff, but only losing a few rings when you get hit instead of all of them is a huge flaw to me and I hope they get the speed and clipping issues ironed out, although it’s an early alpha build so that’s normal. Still excited for it, I didn’t know what to expect, but I certainly wasn’t expecting anything that impressive looking.

Yeah the Jak and Daxter influence is all over this thing and for the better.
I heard in Sonic '06, Sonic had a kid with that princess chick. Is this true or not? If so, get rid of the sickos who made this happen, including the mastermind behind that plan: @"Shadow Ace"

You sure you didn’t read in random fanfiction you happened to stumble across while doing a search in Google? No that didn’t happen lol. And even if it had happened it still wouldn’t have happened since that game retconned itself lol.
Quite interested in what I’ve seen so far. Nothing yet that has made me go crazy with hype quite yet but it still looks promising to me. Seeing Sonic walk stroll around during the battles looked off putting as hell to me. It wasn’t until later in the vid that I saw some of the movement attack options he had like that triple spin dash he did on 1 of the enemies. So long as he has some way to zip around to go along with the punches and kicks and be flashy about it I’ll be ok.
Edit:
Who do I need to email to tell Sega that if the game isn’t ready to give Big Red Button the time it needs to polish it. PLEASE don’t make them rush this.
When I get a Wii-U I’ll get Sonic Boom so long as it’s polished at the standard Naughty Dog games were back in the Jak and Daxter days.
Graphics look like such shit right now, though. Really hope they improve on that and make it look as good as the best looking Wii-U games.
Combat looks more Speedius Raccoonus than Sonic the Godhand, but I’m excited. It even makes me more hopeful for the OG Team Sonic games. Now they don’t have to kill themselves over a new sonic game every 8 months.
