Everything looks really off key. And I like how the 1st order of business is to get people drunk before delivering the final blow. |

Colors and Generations were great, and while I heard Lost World had some shoddy level design and a few issues, it introduced some really good new ideas such as Sonic being able to parkour a bit. With that said, i'm willing to allow Sega another chance. |

I actually really like how Tails looks. He needed his update. Sonic is passable, but I wish it didn't try to make him look so serious and "modern". I don't approve of hipster Amy and . . . whatever they did with Knuckles. |

Wow, it looks like Knuckles was on steroids, and began punching walls in a roid rage until he formed massive welts on both his knuckles. He then saw a doctor and got it bandaged. |

Amy went from the "Cute happy go lucky" girl trying to get the guy to red light district. Knuckles is on some sort of growth hormones and performance enhancing steroids Tails went from the innocent and good willed character of the franchise too...He looks like he's turning into a smart allacky douche. I can only assume this "Sonic Boom" thing is an american/Western original thing. |

What's even more amusing is that it just looks like the just cut and pasted his face on the mode body design. Also lazy eye. |

THE FAST AND THE EDGYOUS http://video.lefigaro.fr/figaro/video/la-bande-annonce-de-sonic-boom/3161522154001/ Hah, considering the 4 character types have been redone to appeal to children, it's now makes sense this this is revealed as a WiiU/3DS game. >Protag >Large friend >Smaller nerdy friend >female friend |

Edgehog? More like Bandagehog. Is the franchise in such dire peril that the characters even have to hold their shoes together with bandages now? |

Except that of the last four Sonic games (this one included), three of the four were Wii/Wii U/3DS exclusive. It all makes sense when you consider who is making this game. The game is being made by Big Red Button, and their head was someone who had an important role in creating Crash Bandicoot, Uncharted, and the Jak and Daxter games. He was actually the first employee that was ever hired by Neughty Dog. In fact, the designs look more Crash Bandicoot-ish and Sonic's new scarf gives him a Nathan Drake-type look. In fact, the entire trailer gave me the vibe of a Sonic-ified Uncharted game. And note that the Sonic Team logo is completely missing from the trailer. But the man has credentials and i'm going to praise Sega for bringing someone like that on board. Also, the game is meant to be based on the new Sonic Boom cartoon show. As for the trailer content itself, i'm really sad that people are paying so close attention to the designs that they don't see what the trailer is doing. For years, Sonic fans (and rightfully so) have complained about how all of the other characters other than Sonic were slow paced, especially Knuckles. Fans were vocal about which of Sonic's friends they wanted to see back and who should be left in a ditch. Sega actually listened. We see the other three characters almost keep up with Sonic's speed. They are also sure to show that Knuckles' climbing and digging abilities operate at a faster pace. And by keeping it down to just these four means we get only fanbase-approved friends. Overall, I really like this direction and I look forward to gameplay trailers. Edited by RPGZero, Feb 6 2014, 04:05 PM.

The overall problem with this game though, is that Sonic is about speed and is what the fans really want from them. gotta go fast. Colors, Generations, etc managed to get that right. But this game now looks like just a generic platformer that will constantly get slowed down by puzzles, character switching, etc. It'd be fine if this was Crash bandicoot, jack and daxter, and so on. But with Sonic it's supposed to be about speed. |

Sonic Boom TV Show Trailer As for me, I actually like all of this. Despite the games of the recent past being a refreshing, light-hearted change of pace, the franchise had chosen to go the route of nostalgia and as a result lacked real direction. None of the recent games have much of anything to do with one another, and as enjoyable as their stories were, did not have any lasting effects. The TV show's already going to be pretty fun from what I've read, with episode descriptions going from "an overprotective Sonic 'firing' Tails from sidekick status, with Eggman applying to fill said vacant position" to "Knuckles becoming the mayor" of an undisclosed town/city. Then there's "Eggman faking an injury and taking Sonic to court over it after having lost to Sonic for the umpteenth time". That said, much of what a friend's said here can sum up what further feelings I have on this: Spoiler: click to toggle

Only 1 minute in and already so much RAGE and HATE. Just how a let's play should be! Need to get a suitable drink for this one. EDIT: OW. I can't tell if it's youtubes fault or because it's such an old game but everything looks blurry and heache inducing to me. Edited by Ovan, Feb 6 2014, 04:20 PM.

@Ovan: I spent the entire last paragraph of my last post talking about speed and how the other characters have been sped up in order to keep up with Sonic. Two of the most important moments in it are them keeping up with Sonic. The trailer clearly shows them going fast and showing how much faster certain characters, especially Knuckles, have been sped up. Even Amy looked like she was doing fast paced platforming using her hammer as a swing. I really don't see what in the trailer showed this to be a generic platformer at all with the exception of some combat. It's also not character switching. The trailer showed multiple characters on-screen at once. |

The matched speed thing and multiple characters acting on their own has been done already though back in Sonic Heroes. When Sonic/Shadow/Amy/the ninja lizard thing were in control, the other party members were magically as fast as them. It would be nice if the other characters would controllable via other players, but I won't get my hopes up. |

Except for Knuckles, I'm okay with the design. Tails and Eggman, 2 of my 3 favorite sonic characters, still look good. Not buying the game for sure as I don't own Wii U or 3DS and will never buy any of them. |
