The Sonic the hedgehog thread V.7 2017 its been generations since the last good sonic game

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 don’t really care if they make anyone look different since I don’t 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 “Creative” mind that ruined your childhood not once, but twice, comes this Summer’s blockbuster explosive hit.

Sanic…

Tailz…

That Egg guy…

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 design…

Amy getting a personality buff is a trade off though

sonic boom looks like a good rental, I can’t 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 be…

Sonic - Every wisecracking hero ever

Tails - Wise cracking hero’s 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 can’t 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… isn’t that what Tails and Sonic always were? Sonic has been a kinda jerky smartass since he could talk. Also, I still think we haven’t seen enough. I mean, there are no real substantial anything that really states the character’s relationships with each other. I’d like it if Amy’s infatuation with Sonic was dialed back a bit, like in the comics.

This game is taking those characterizations and over-doing it imo. I’ve 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 they’re just given too many lines, so it’s harder to ignore and/or let it slide.

rewatch and look how snappy and stiff everything looks

I mean…hasn’t 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 emerald…

Yeah, Sonic’s 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. It’s been that way since Adventure.

We don’t know the full extent of Amy’s characterization for this game so we should hold off on that. It’s definitely an improvement over main series Amy as someone remembered there’s 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 don’t see where it shows that he’s less independent. I just don’t think we have much to go on in order to see what anyone’s relationship is.

Here’s the E3 trailer for the TV show

He’s never been a jerk. He was flawed, he wasn’t always sensitive especially when he was agitated but he wasn’t a straight “rolling my eyes cuz im a cool guy” guy.

Tails wasn’t a henchman, he was like a little brother.

LOL Knuckles is every meathead dude-bro ever.

"YOU MIRIN’ BRAH?"

Sonic’s always been kinda jerky with his friends, and the tails we’ve seen so far seems like the same tails.

Sonic always been a dick to Knuckles. It isn’t uncommon for Sonic to antagonize the guy when they meet. I won’t even start with his treatment of Amy.

Tails acting the same as always as Sonic’s tech guy and support. Nothing changed as far as that goes.
