Sonic Boom Street Date (and fans' hearts) Broken

Sounds like a mistake on Sega's part, then, doesn't it? I'm not sure why you want to absolve Sega from blame here. It's their flagship property, but you wouldn't know it with how they've treated it here.

I always prefer placing blame where its do, and not once have I seen anyone criticize to actually developers of the game. It reminds me of how people were hammering Nintendo for Tecmo-Koei original characters in Hyrule Warriors having such huge breast and little cloths, but not saying a word about Tecmo-Koei who created it.

It seems kind of off to me. Like people are just looking for reasons to bash the popular targets.
 
I have a feeling this game is going to be called "Sonic 2014" in the future.

God that fucking ship is killing me. I can't stop watching it.
 
I'll look for the Wii U version in the bargain bins next spring. don't know why but I don't dislike it as many of other GAFfers.

Yes, this is Big Red Button's mess, not an internal Sega team. But Sega is the one who chose BRB to develop this game. They're the ones who decided the development budget and the development length. Sega is the one who should have been able to see that this game wasn't up to par, because it's ultimately their money, their IP and their name on the front of the box.
 
Is it just me, or does it sound like they re-recorded the word "Lyric's" in Tails' lines? There's a clear audio glitch there damn near every time he says it.

What a shitty low bar to have towards kids games. "Don't worry, kids have no standards! Let's just ship a piece of garbage - they'll probably like it anyway."

He must be a Nickelodeon brainless exec under disguise! I won't accept any other explanation!
 
If some people added their own voices and music to a cutscene trying to make fun of the game...


...it would not be any different from that video.


To such a degree I'm not sure that's not the case. It's that ridiculous.
 
while there's nothing wrong with being different, its more like they tried to drag the series to their comfort zone in design. Which isn't really strong enough to carry a Sonic game imo.
That's a good point, actually.

Honestly, this whole thing paints Sonic Team in a much better light as their work on Sonic over the last few years has been quite good already. Lost World wasn't brilliant but, compared to this, it's incredible.
 
Hopefully this game is just Sega trying to plow through the Nintendo exclusive Sonic games they're contracted to do so they can release a Sonic Generations 2 on multiple platforms.

That's exactly what this is. Sonic Team isn't even making it, it's really just a low budget game to fulfill the Nintendo agreement and promote their show.

Sonic Cycle never fails.

No one had any hope for this game from the start. It looked like crap from its reveal all the way til release.

Also Sonic Generations and All Star Racing/Transformed kicked ass.
 
Hahahaha oh wow. This is the best thing I have seen all day.

I can't believe that I got blasted for mentioning this game looked like shit in the reveal topic.
It always looked like shit, but this is a whole new level of shit. That honestly makes Sonic 06 look polished.
 
Sonic Cycle never fails.

You guys will never quit this will you.

Seriously, just stop. You clearly don't have any idea what the Sonic Cycle is supposed to represent and even then it hasn't really applied to anything since Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, maybe Unleashed, but that would already be a stretch. This game doesn't fit the Sonic Cycle because hardly anyone expected this game to be good.

So please, let it rest. Stop the drive by "huehuehue Sonic Cycle" posts. It's not funny, it's not accurate, it's just annoying and you present yourself as an asshole in doing so.

Just bury the idea of a Sonic Cycle in general. There are bad Sonic games, there are good Sonic games (Sonic Generations, while not without flaws (but then again which game is), being one of them). Nothing to do with any cycle whatsoever. Just let it die. Please.
 
Sonic Cycle never fails.

Cycle? Most Sonic games have been pretty good for a while now.

Lost World was good, Generatinos was good, Colors was good. Unleashed is debatable. The Werehog sections were mediocre, but the rest was good. The DS Sonic games were good.

Guys, it didn't even get past the first step. Come on now.

colours / generations smashed this theory and this game, like you said, didnt even pass the first step. as far as ive seen the majority of the fans have outright dismissed this title, if not spoken against it (myself included)
 
.......jesus....I can't either...I just can't.

Nintendo really got shafted out of that 3 game exclusivity deal.
Ehhhhhhhhhh...
Well.....the Wii U version is at least more positive than the 3ds version....at least the option to use wisp powers with the analog stick was made an option :u

Anyway....let's all take a Weegee Jeanne to clear our minds - http://i.imgur.com/Lh3ho4n.png

Edit : http://www.tssznews.com/2014/11/10/david-corless-out-at-sega-now-with-uks-ndreams/ - If this right here is true, that means Sega has had NO brand manager in the west for awhile now. This is horrifying, it might end up explaining a lot of things.
 
as a huge sonic fan, this game just saddens me :(

EDIT: deeply

Look on the bright side, there will always be new and addictive F2P Sonic iPhone games with rich experiences and engagement opportunities you can engage with in the future. Engage!
