The heck?
It's not a TV show! Why are there continuity errors between "cuts"!

 

[RagnarokX]

Suddenly Sonic 2006 looks more appealing.

Remember this classic?

Why do I feel like most of Sonic Boom can be summed up in this one gif.

Now I'm tempted to enter that contest on Sonic Retro to win a copy just to see if it hilariously bad or just flat-out bad.

Any non-coop videos out there yet?

Knew this was gonna be shit since BRB revealed the designs.

I have faith in the Unleashed/Generations team though, the game they're working on will probably be announced after Sonic Boom is out of the way.

Was that made by them or the Cartoon studio working on the animated series? I honestly think the designs are fine.

Spoiler

Buff Knuckles is best Knuckles

Also, do we know if Sonic Team is still split in 2? I think the colors team made Lost World, but did the generations team join up with them?
I don't think the generations team is much better. Unleashed was mostly bad, and it wasn't until Colors that the 3D boost gameplay was done well. I don't really want a Generations 2 as a lot of people are asking for. I kind of want SEGA to evolve the franchise, the boost gameplay doesn't feel like it should be the highest point for 3D modern sonic

Spoiler

LW was good in concept, flawed in execution and the next step for 3D Sonic is definitely not this

 

[Data West]

lol

Ok, stuff like this is awful in such a different way that now I'm interested. This could be The Room of video games. Which would be the best Sonic game ever.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

I don't understand who is excited for sonic games anymore.

I mean, after it comes out and Gaf says it's actually good this time I'll check them out, but who is excited beforehand?

Pretty much this, it's like the battered housewife syndrome.

 

[Letterbomb]

This has to be the worst Sonic game ever created, right?

 

[MrBadger]

I've always considered Sonic 06 to be the Room of video games. It takes itself way too seriously, it's laughably bad, but it's not so bad that it's completely unplayable.

 

[Naughty_Doge]

The more gifs and videos I watch, the more of a "it's so bad it's good" case it seems to be.

 

[Somnid]

This has to be the worst Sonic game ever created, right?

I don't think so, the competition is steep.

Man, they really rushed this shit out the door for the cartoon.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I know it shouldn't, but it's going to sting when this sells better than Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101 and Tropical Freeze put together.

This post hurt

 

[Mory Dunz]

You're assuming there won't be another Sonic game on Wii U. I think that'd be a mistake, if ASRT's sales between all platforms showed us, ignoring Wii U wouldn't be wise all things considered.

Not only that, has a family game done anything notable on PS4 and XO? You certainly don't think of colorful platformers when you think of those consoles.

I'm actually curious if the next Sonic will be on Wii U.
You mention family games. The Lego games have done better on U and so did another franchise (Infinity maybe?) But does Sonic fall into that demographic?

It wouldn't bomb at least I think. I doubt it'll come to Wii U though.

 

[Hatchtag]

A bad licensed videogame based on a tv show license based on a videogame.

 

[FreeMufasa]

Id still rather play this than dragon age, destiny, cod, assassins creed etc.

It's funny seeing you manchilds pick apart a game that's not even aimed at you

You can have a game aimed at a younger audience that's still of very good quality.

Quality and age barrier isn't mutually exclusive.

Aren't you a ray of sunshine.

Games can still be made well, regardless of demographic.

 

[batman2million]

Am i the only one who wanted this game to be good?! sigh.

 

[Mory Dunz]

lol

I thought you were pointing out how Knuckles doesn't bounce at first.

 

[ShadowElliot]

Will probably get this as part of Target's B2G1 deal.

 

[alf717]

I haven't written it off yet. Most of this stuff doesn't even bother me. I might pick this up for $29.99 like I did with Lost World which I actually enjoyed more than Generations.

 

[WillyFive]

No one wanted it to be bad. It was just painfully obvious it wasn't going to be good.

We do have that sign that predated Boom's uneiling by a few days that showed a 2015 Sonic on all three consoles. My bet's on the next Sumo game being it. giving Sonic Team an extra year on the 25th anniversary game for 2016.

Oh and obviously Rio Olympics as well should be on cue.

 

[Mohonky]

I remember a time I was a massive Sega fanboy and Sonic was one of my fav series.

Since then, children who were born can now legally go night clubbing.

 

[Maebe]

This is all tragically beautiful

This is all tragically beautiful

Sonic never stops entertaining me, even if in some of the worst ways possible

Yea! Cos kids are beggin for 60fps, 1080p and open world....

Smh...

BEWARE SPOILERS

Part 1 can be found here

& here again just cut-scenes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8nw-JrdVuw

I'm looking forward to game but not going to spoil myself but thought gaf might like another look at it.

When do the reviews come out ?

That actually looks quite fun to play co-op. I can't believe I just said that.

 

[Foffy]

Yea! Cos kids are beggin for 60fps, 1080p and open world....

Smh...

People wanted a good Sonic game. That's all.

Looks like they're not getting it here. ):

 

[Hero of Legend]

Here's a piece of trivia, did you know that Sonic has NEVER since debuting on GC with SA2 skipped a year on a Nintendo home console?

It's true! Take a look:

2002 - SA2
2003 - SADX
2004 - Heroes
2005 - Shadow
2006 - Riders
2007 - Secret Rings, Beijing
2008 - Unleashed, Zero Gravity
2009 - Black Knight, Vancouver
2010 - Colors, All-Star Racing
2011 - London
2012 - All-Star Racing Transformed
2013 - Lost World, Sochi
2014 - Boom
2015 - Rio? Sumo game???

Yeah, Sonic's not going anywhere from Nintendo consoles.

And the only games that ever skipped Nintendo consoles but were on other consoles since 2002 were: Sonic '06 (planned for Wii but re-purposed as Secret Rings), Free Riders, Generations (did get a 3DS release), Sonic 4 Ep 2.

 

[L95]

lol

I like that you also see the handle of the hammer just off the screen after it cuts. lol

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

all of these gfycat urls sound like new sonic character names

In the next episode of Sonic Boom, Eggman reveals his sex slave, Jiffycat, and Sonic is forced to have sex with her to disarm the bomb in her vagina

This post hurt

The truth doth burn

 

[RagnarokX]

No, that's just a spark from Metal Sonic's landing.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

For some reason, this thread really makes me want to give in and finally pick up Lost World...

Maybe this is Sega's plan? To get an outside company to create a Sonic game SO bad, so putrid on every level, that their in-house games suddenly look far superior.

 

[L95]

No, that's just a spark from Metal Sonic's landing.

...Oh, you're right. I probably would've realized that If I'd seen the whole scene instead of a gif, I guess I'll go look at the cut scene video now.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Yea! Cos kids are beggin for 60fps, 1080p and open world....

I like how you've now completely failed twice at making snide remarks.

Yeah, I don't see why so many are sure it will.
Edit: 2010 was a good year for gaming. Even for Sonic

 

[Zafir]

She's totally the female Thor. She calls the hammer to her.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Waiting for someone to dub Sonic Chronicles music over the gameplay.

 

[Data West]

Id still rather play this

Ha, Sega does what Nintendon't - Mario skipped 2006 on consoles. Well, according to Mario Wiki.

 

[Demon Lizardman]

When are the reviews coming?

 

[Muskieratboi]

Wow. 100 Ring limit and nothing for collecting over that?

What's the *point*, then?

A wild FreeMufasa appears! It's a been a while since your last thread... just sayin

Still waiting for Generations 2. They probably won't make it or if they do it'll be awful.
