formerly titled "new sonic game in 2015"
previous posts untouched for reasons
http://segabits.com/blog/2014/02/01/new-sonic-the-hedgehog-game-due-in-2015-for-xbox-one-playstation-4-and-wii-u/
-
For me, it's Sonic Adventure 3 or bust. Speaking of which, there's still one more Nintendo-exclusive title for them to get out of the way first.
-
unless there's a sonic game we're not yet aware of coming out between now and '15, the "third game" may very well be smashfor at this point since sonic's already been confirmed returning in it
i wouldn't count smashfor out as the possible "third game" until official channels confirm otherwise, since M&S sochi '14, even though a crossover of a sub-series exclusive to nintendo platforms since its inception is also a sonic nintendo contract game
-
Isn't that always the case with Super Smash Bros. games, anyway? For Sega to sign a contract with Nintendo to make that an exclusive would be pretty redundant. If anything, the third game might end up being another storybook title. If that is the case, and it ends up being anything like Sonic & the Black Knight, however, then I'll be steering clear of it. The one thing I'll give that game credit for is acknowledging other characters besides Sonic for a change.
-
Well, what do you know? The information about the alleged upcoming Sonic game turned out to be fake (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/131979-Sega-Says-Toy-Fair-Info-About-New-Sonic-Title-Is-Incorrect). Somehow, I'm not all that surprised. It wouldn't be the first time something like this happened, if the "Sonic Excursion" thing wasn't any indication.
EDIT: Oh, and to back up what I said in my other post...

as far back as bleeding last october? this shows how distant i am from the social networking world
actually relieved that smashfor isn't #3, sega wouldn't blow another slot in the contract on another nintendo crossover
it was already being redundant putting M&S sochi '14 in the contract, that would've been better spent on something else, like...tails adventure 2
-
i bring this to our attention
http://www.sonicstadium.org/2014/02/sega-2014-is-the-renaissance-year-of-sonic/
again the dreaded "sonic boom" promotional image shows itself
-
Like I said before, I couldn't care less about that show. The fact that it's going to be even remotely similar to My Little Pony, of all things, is an automatic indication that it's going to be a piece of garbage.
I'm just ready for them to announce the third Nintendo exclusive, already. I'm this close to having enough to buy a Wii U.
-
i'm not particularly looking forward to an era of what looks like a vest-wearing sonic and knuckles the pectoral echidna neither
the embargo printed on the image ends today, so something might coming up out of the official channels
-
it begins
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/sonic-boom-announced-but-just-what-has-sega-done-to-knuckles/1100-6417572/
sonic with a scarf is actually not too bad...
but now we have an even sluttier looking amy on top of pectoral knuckles
also, wrappings
-
and here is boom's incarnation of robotnik (or rather robuffnik), complete with black eyes faithful to some of his american depictions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dm-AFKUmFw
sega confirmed somewhere that boom is its own setting and won't do anything to segasonic (the main sonic), so now we have another sonic continuity
- segasonic
- archiesonic
- SATAMsonic
- AOSTHsonic
- underground
- X
- boomsonic

also:
http://www.joystiq.com/2014/02/06/sonic-boom-comes-to-wii-u-and-3ds-from-western-studios/#continued
Steve Singer, Nintendo's VP of licensing, was at the event to emphasize that Sonic Boom represents the second of three planned Sonic exclusives for Nintendo machines. Looks like there will be one more to round a trilogy between Lost World and Boom.
confirmed that M&S-sochi '14 isn't part of the contract, we still have one more coming
-
Again, I'm hoping that the third is Sonic Adventure 3. As for this game... It's nice to see that characters other than Sonic are playable for a change, but at the same time, I still have mixed feelings about it. It must be those terrible designs that are throwing me off. I'd hate to sound like one of those "green eyes" whiners, but what the hell were they thinking to make Sonic's arms blue? It just looks so...weird. As for Knuckles, his design is the number one worse. I don't have much of a problem with Tails' and Amy's. As far as the dialogue is concerned... They seem as if they're trying way too hard to be funny, and failing miserably.
-
sega has the third sonic title in the works, interested in more nintendo collabs
- dev team is interested in working on more levels that allow it to collaborate with Nintendo
- SEGA is working on a new Sonic title that will use the traditional look and mechanics of the series
- more details later in this year
http://www.gonintendo.com/s/225701-sega-interested-in-more-nintendo-collaborations-working-on-new-sonic-game-outside-of-sonic-boom
traditional look/mechanics...classic sonic? sonic 5? keep gimps far away from it
-
As far as Classic Sonic being used again... I wouldn't get my hopes up. Despite them aiming to cater to the classic fanboys' every whim as of late, they apparently seem to draw the line when it comes to using classic designs in anything outside of Generations. I'll never understand their logic.
Oh, and about my earlier post... Apparently, I was wrong about that Mario & Sonic title not being included in the exclusivity deal. Sonic Boom was announced two months ago, while the newspost was from October of last year. I didn't realize how outdated it was at the time.
-
by "classic sonic" i meant genesis era elements rather than the character himself
-
That's something they've already been doing as of Colors and Sonic 4, so what else is new?
-
boom runs on an enhanced crytek 3 engine
http://nintendoenthusiast.com/news/sonic-boom-use-enhanced-version-crytek-3-engine-standard-engine-wouldnt-suffice/
and they claimed the wii U couldn't run crytek 3 back when it was new...
-
posters surfaced suggesting boom might cross over with star wars in something...
-
Oh, dear God. Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse. That's not to say I have anything against Star Wars, exactly. I just don't think it has any business whatsoever crossing over with the Sonic franchise, of all things.

also shadow eventually will appear in boomverse
-
The sad thing is that there are people who actually say that Sticks doesn't resemble Marine in any way, despite the fact that (design-wise), she's a clear, blatant rip-off. Ugh, and the voice... Absolutely terrible. It actually makes Charmy's 4Kids voice seem tolerable, and that's saying a lot.
As for Shadow... That's fine by me. I'm glad to see that Sonic Boom is shedding light on other characters, since, as of late, anyone who isn't Sonic, Tails, Robotnik, Orbot, and Cubot have been getting brushed aside and treated as if they're insignificant. Just look at the half-assed roles that were given to Knuckles and Amy and in Lost World.

we have a 3DS version now

...I'm just going to assume that the maker of this comic was being sarcastic.
http://www.gonintendo.com/s/229597-sonic-boom-more-screenshots-and-details
we have a 3DS version now
A 3DS version was already announced from the start. It's just that they haven't shown any screens of it up until now.
-
of course
the wii U version gets all the hype so the 3DS version was pushed to the dark corners of everyone's memory
-
This is what it looks like in action:

sega decided that cheating japan out of a sonic sub-franchise wouldn't work
http://nintendoeverything.com/sonic-boom-coming-to-japan-after-all/
-
Despite the fact that Sonic supposedly isn't very popular in Japan, that definitely would've been a bad move on their part.
-
Shadow and Metal Sonic confirmed, along with a new trailer. (http://www.sonicretro.org/2014/08/gamescom-2014-sonic-dies-in-this-new-sonic-boom-rise-of-lyric-trailer-also-metal-sonic-and-shadow-return/)

1. Amy's voice is getting a lot better. It was unbearable in Colors DS through Lost World.
2. Shadow appears at 1:02. They haven't made his role clear as of yet.
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5ssg9VV8XU
at about 18:37 sonic glitches out and plummets out of the world boundaries
-
Went too fast.
-
So far, the reception for this game hasn't been so good. People are even going so far as to say that it's the next Sonic 2006.
-
it's a tie-in to a children's cartoon
it's too slow
it's sonic herpes with unleashed's werehog engine crammed in
a departure
springs and boost pads up the ass
pectoral knuckles
renaissance year of sonic my funky ass
the "boom" in sonic boom is the sound of another sega trainwreck

now it seems our next game may be called "sonic runners"
this better be good sega, you've already blew 2 shots in the nintendo contract

whose big red button again? ex naughty dog devs, wasn't it? must've been the rejects then
maybe shattered crystal will be better, sanzaru seems to be alot more reputable, they did the most recent editions of the sly cooper games
-
http://mynintendonews.com/2014/11/15/big-red-button-entertainment-apparently-suffered-mass-exodus-before-sonic-boom-launch/
turns out bigredbutt bled employees out the ass over the summer because they knew the game was going to bomb and didn't want their names shamed by attachment to another sonic trainwreck. even the original producer for the game left
in a way, this is basically what happened to sonic '06
naka left, and half the devteam had to go fiddle with a wii devkit to get secret rings worked on
both sonic doom and sonic the disaster '06 were messes left behind to be cleaned up by shrunken devteams
-
That would certainly explain a lot. Truth be told, even though Sonic 2006 was rushed and generally far from being flawless, I can honestly say that I preferred it over both Colors (Wii) and Generations combined.

knuckles lost his glide when he went pectoral, but now he can jump infinitely
-
http://nintendoeverything.com/sonic-boom-rise-of-lyric-concept-art-sonic-designs-lyric-as-an-owl-more/
lyric should've been kept an owl instead of generic villainous reptile #9001
-
Maybe they didn't think an owl seemed very threatening. On the other hand, I guess that would explain why he has a name like "Lyric", since some birds are known for singing.
-
he's lyric because the game is sonic's doom song

funny that the chili dog thing initially was a DiC fabrication that eventually ended up in the games, and it began with advance 3's JPN manual

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the game was still garbage even after the fact.
Also, I'm a bit late on this one, but Sonic 4: Episode III has been cancelled. (http://forums.sega.com/showthread.php?520516-Sonic-the-Hedgehog-4-Episode-III-is-NEVER-HAPPENING-Maybe)

sonic 4 was a wreck, made sense to abort it

http://www.gonintendo.com/s/245515-sonic-boom-rise-of-lyric-patch-live-in-na
Bug Fixes:
Knuckles Infinite Jump fixed
Some level barriers added to prevent the player from escaping the map. The most notorious example…
boomglitch
This is reported to no longer work, an invisible barrier prevents the player from escaping.
Additions:
Navigation arrows “Small yellow arrows added which show you where to go” (They were in the original, but they now have some issues).
Improvements:
Improved Framerate during speed sections
Loops are ‘less choppy’
Minor lighting improvements
Improved shadows.
Problems with the Patch:
Navigation arrows can be turned off using the analogue sticks.
The navigation arrows tell you where to go, but you can still miss vital items which you need for when you get to the location. So you can follow the arrows and still become stuck not knowing what to do.

Here's a (rather vague) trailer for Sonic Runners:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zohjxhYl53A
Unfortunately, it's yet another mobile phone exclusive.
-
another platrunner?
-
From the looks of things, yeah. Seeing how clips from the Genesis titles were plastered all over the trailer, they seem to be implying that this game is going to be similar to the classics. Hmm, but then again Sonic 4 was also seen in the trailer, so I'm not exactly sure what to expect.
-
So I'm going to assume in the last 10 years, since I have stopped paying attention to Sonic, that 95% of the games have seen shit.
-
DS trilogy (rush/rushventure/colorsDS)
colors wii
generations console/PC
S&SASR + T
mario & sonic OWG + L12OG
from what came of sonic in the last 10 years that isn't a compilation, port, or remake, these are all considered decent by the press

-
I personally thought Shattered Crystal was okay, from what I've played of it in the demo. Rise of Lyric, on the other hand? Absolute garbage, and this is coming from someone who likes the so-called "terrible" games such as Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic 2006.
