Sonic Boom cutscene
I both chuckled and kind of shook my head at how dumb they made Knux lol.
I like amy a lot more I must admit. Knuckles just looks plain retarded. I donāt really care if they make anyone look different since I donāt particularly attach myself to anyone in sonic too much in terms of aesthetics, but knuckles man. . .
my biggest problem with that cutscene
the animations are like about as good as sonic adventure, a 15 year old game
If even one iota of this bullshit seeps into the mainline games I will be so mad.
That cutscene was ok (in the sense of the writing) but it was so formulaic it hurt.
I cannot believe they managed to dumb down every character to the point where all that remains is an arch-type.

From the āCreativeā mind that ruined your childhood not once, but twice, comes this Summerās blockbuster explosive hit.
Sanicā¦
Tailzā¦
That Egg guyā¦
Michael Bay presents: Sonic The Hedgehog: Revenge of the Shadow Clan.
yup, knew they where going to make knuckles a dumb fuck the moment they released his designā¦
Amy getting a personality buff is a trade off though
sonic boom looks like a good rental, I canāt see myself paying full price for this
God, why would they make Knuckles stupid? I hope the gameplay is better than the story is gonna beā¦
Sonic - Every wisecracking hero ever
Tails - Wise cracking heroās bitch
Amy - Tough girl who they play it every safe with to avoid upsetting anyone
Knuckles - Big strong dumbass who envies main wisecracking hero
Go ahead, prove me wrong.
Only character that has any remotely funny and clever lines so far is Eggman.
follow me on this one, follow me on this one. Knuckles now looks and acts like the type of character that would be voiced by patrick warburton. That being said I still like the characterization.
I canāt say that I agree, SA1 cutscenes were like awkwardly worked puppets. The lip syncing is a little weird in this but actual animations have some charm to them.
But I mean⦠isnāt that what Tails and Sonic always were? Sonic has been a kinda jerky smartass since he could talk. Also, I still think we havenāt seen enough. I mean, there are no real substantial anything that really states the characterās relationships with each other. Iād like it if Amyās infatuation with Sonic was dialed back a bit, like in the comics.
This game is taking those characterizations and over-doing it imo. Iāve always recognized Sonic as a bit cocky, but have never been as annoyed by it as I am after listening to just a few minutes of these gameplay teasers.
Edit: Or maybe theyāre just given too many lines, so itās harder to ignore and/or let it slide.

I meanā¦hasnāt Knuckles always been dumb to an extent?
This is the guy who got tricked AGAIN by Eggman in SA1 into thinking that Sonic was trying to steal his emeraldā¦
Yeah, Sonicās always been a smartass, but Tails always seemed more like he was helping Sonic. this Tails seems less independent in comparison to, say, SA2, where he was wrecking shit without regard.
And Knuckles, while never being the smartest of the bunch, at least always had common fucking sense. This one barely has motor function, it seems.

Sonic and Tails are like that in the main series. Itās been that way since Adventure.
We donāt know the full extent of Amyās characterization for this game so we should hold off on that. Itās definitely an improvement over main series Amy as someone remembered thereās more to her character than her crush on Sonic.
Why they have to make Knuckles a dumbass though? He paid a high price for a better character design.

I donāt see where it shows that heās less independent. I just donāt think we have much to go on in order to see what anyoneās relationship is.

Heās never been a jerk. He was flawed, he wasnāt always sensitive especially when he was agitated but he wasnāt a straight ārolling my eyes cuz im a cool guyā guy.
Tails wasnāt a henchman, he was like a little brother.
LOL Knuckles is every meathead dude-bro ever.

Sonicās always been kinda jerky with his friends, and the tails weāve seen so far seems like the same tails.

Sonic always been a dick to Knuckles. It isnāt uncommon for Sonic to antagonize the guy when they meet. I wonāt even start with his treatment of Amy.
Tails acting the same as always as Sonicās tech guy and support. Nothing changed as far as that goes.
