Aaaand there’s the connection. I didn’t know Brad Buxer was in the Jetsons so everything makes sense.
Sonic Boom Shattered Crystal - Tropical Level gameplay w/ direct audio
music sounds better than I thought it was going to end up at least…still reserving judgement

Taxman and co released a proof of concept for a Sonic 3K port a week or so ago
This hasn’t been officially sanctioned by Sega in any capacity yet or anything but they already started on it.
If you would like to read more into it ‘Stealth’ has a blog that’s interesting about remaking what they had so far.
This actually has some insight into how Sonic 3K works.
So the demo for the 3ds Sonic Boom game is out. I tried it out last night and it’s pretty garbage. Like the game pretty much goes for a more traditonal platformer as opposed to traditional high speed one. But like shit, the physics and etc are bad, and like I know damn well Sega can do better. I know that Sonic Boom is mainly a separate thing for younger kids, and I know that younger kids will play a shit game rather its shit or not, but they also seemed to forget that actual Sonic fans will be on this.
I might try it again to see if my opinon changes, but the gameplay isn’t bad, it just feels unpolished.
Premier of the Sonic Boom cartoon was pretty nice. Even though Amy and Knuckles have different personalities, I still felt they were in character.
I can definitely see this being more comedic, im not sure if the series will be episodic or continuous. But I can see it being good quality. I feel Sonic is intact as well as Tail and I think Stix is cool for being the “dumb character” even though Amy seems kinda dumb or should I say bubbly lol. What did you guys think? And Ima try the 3ds demo again. In a bit because I only goofed off when I tried before. So I do feel my first impressions are a bit invalid
Awww I missed that? need to go put that on my DVR.
I haven’t downloaded the demo yet…I’ll probably do that today and give it a shot.
Not sure what timezone you’re in but im on Pacific time and it was on at 7. It was pretty solid. I can see this being good with the younger audience they just need to bump it up to maybe 10 am because shit idk of kids are up at 7 on Saturday lol
I’m East Coast so I guess it comes on at 10 on Sat.
Also just finished playing the demo for Shattered Crystal and I don’t think it’s bad really. It’s just not a traditional Sonic game (at all) and pretty much anyone going into the game with that mindset is going to write it off immediately if that’s what they’re looking for. It’s like they took 2-D adventure platformer title and stuck Sonic in it. Sonic can go fast with sprint but it’s not nearly as fast as any of his other games which is probably a good thing considering how the game is layed out…thats not gonna stop people from ‘GOTTA GO FAST’ through it. You have separate goals to try to go through on each stage including collectibles that you get for exploring and they do have a time trial sub goal for the stage as well. I’m wondering why they didn’t allow Knux to climb at all in this game…he can burrow in select spots but he can’t really stick to surfaces for whatever reason and him not being able to glide is kind of off putting lol. Tails not being able to fly traditionally is kind of off putting too. How they handle fall off deaths, spikes, and water (no swimming allowed) is interesting…they reset you like Lakitu just popped up in the game and put you back on the stage and then pop the rings out of you.
It’s interesting…I’ll probably play it a few more times and post any more thoughts I have on it later.
Yeah, Brad Buxor worked with Michael Jackson to compose Sonic 3 music. Brad Buxor was only credited because Michael felt the 16-bit sound would leave him open for criticism. Roger Hector, who was SEGA of America’s Big dicked G at the time this went down denies Michael’s music was in the game, but Game Trailers has it on good authority that literally 80% of Michael’s music stayed in the game, with minor changes here and there.
I’ll link the video when I find it again soon.
EDIT:
I really really don’t like the new knuckles. They focused on all the wrong parts of his character. And he’s swoll as fuck for no reason.
knuckles cant glide or climb walls?
the fuck? Yeah knux just serves as the strong dumbass on the show and sonic is just a dick in general…lol
I don’t mind Knuckles not lacking his abilities, I kinda figured he’d just be the big idiot. But I’m viewing this as it’s own thing, which is why I’m fine with Knuckles and Amy slight changes, even though those are my fave Sonic characters. And yeah that nigga Sonic seems pretty douchey lol.
Also anyone copping the Sonic Boom games, or still on the fence? I am most likely gonna pick up the Wii U one, probably just gonna wait for a game sale, and see if that game happens to be including in whatever deal
Has anyone read the sonic boom comics and are they any good.
checks TV guide for sonic boom 6 AM TOMORROW!? haaaa!!! dvrs it and apparently it’s at 7 on Sat. Yyyyyeah…not doing that.
I saw the first episode of Boom. I enjoyed it. I honestly didn’t expect it to just be 15 minutes.
Sonic Boom for Wii U has apparently been leaked…aaaaand impressions haven’t been too positive right now. You can find some let’s plays on youtube.
Yeaahhh…
Thats too bad they had a winning formula.
I’m quiet confused by this. I mean, I can understand the game not being fun, that’s what most people are expecting. But to be a bug-fest as well? It’s been in development for so long. How?
So I tried the3ds demo again, and I actually did have a nice amount of fun with it. My negative first impressions were because I was appraoching the game as a “speed” game, but once I played it as a more traditional platformer I had fun with it, and I may even pick it up at some point. My only real criticism now is the game just feels “heavy” and even when running, or doing that dash level thing Sonic is still slow as hel.
But as a normal platformer it’s pretty cool, but I guess if you view it as a normal sonic game then it’s bad. i’m gonna peep some of these Sonic Boom wii u lets plays. Serioulsy wtf is up with Sega nowadays? Like I know some of the wii soinc games got bad reception but they seemed more experimental so it seh. But like this low quality sonic shit has got to stop. I mean i know it’s not the same Sega team, but i mean they pump up quality like the Yakuza games,and VF5, but for some reason seem to drop the ball with their flagship franchise lol. wtf.
Like just observing Sega it literally seems that most of the time they only fuck up with Sonic. And it’s at an inconsistent rate, we got good stuff like Sonic Rush, and Riders(i enjoyed it), and ihaven’t played these but it seems Colors and Generations are liked, but in between you got messes like Sonic 06, Unleashed, and that AWFUL Sonic Chronicles games. Like what the hell sega
