Ugh, the werehog sections would've been more tolerable if they were just shortened up. Hearing they somehow made them WORSE just makes me want to stay further away from this game.
Sonic Boom Street Date (and fans' hearts) Broken
- Thread starter BodiesWithoutOrgans
- Start date
Hmm, good point. As someone who's been playing since the first Genesis game, I was just happy we got a Sonic game that didn't suck ass, regardless of whether it was a platformer or not.
I dunno. I'm really not feeling the burn from lack of platforming because I get plenty of that elsewhere; Mario, for example. I can't get the Generations gameplay anywhere else, and it (and Colours/daytime Unleashed) was the only good Sonic gameplay we've had in ages. If they keep trying different things and make an awesome platformer? Great. But at the moment they have something that's fun and works for them. I really don't think they should toss that out so easily. At least make something else using it.

They do know what they want to do with it. They want to milk that fucker dry. They barely produce anything of value anymore and Sonic is one of their cash cows.
The fans lap it up and pretend everything is alright and buy the games without fail.

Yeah let's stick to the cartoon.
I'm still getting the 3DS ver., demo made it not look as dull as LW.
Heh, if there's any positive thing to take away from this, at least the game is making me laugh

Yakuza/Ryu ga Gotoku, Hatsune Miku and Shining series aren't of any value?
I really do not understand what the fuck is going on in this game. Things are happening with no rhyme, reason, or explanation. I get that we already know the characters, but this is supposed to be its own universe or something, so why is there no effort to establish this world or anything in it? That entire Shadow encounter made no damn sense. He just showed up and attacked Sonic because... he has friends? What??
Definitely not in the western market where this is being developed. Why do you think everyone is still upset about Yakuza?

I thought the demo for the 3DS version was mindblowingly awful. Seems like the worst 2D Sonic since the Game Gear days. In fact I cant think of a 3D Sonic that left me with a worse first impression.

Nintendo what was the actual point in moneyhatting these sonic titles?
Also what we are seeing here is the birth of Sonic '14. Tis a thing of beauty ;__;

...but we're getting VC1 on Steam! With more SEGA games to come!
...and the new Miku game is releasing a few weeks too!
...and in 2015, we're getting those kickass SEGA 3D Classics and OUTRUN on the 3DS!

I misread the thread title and thought a new Boom Street had leaked. Guh.

I will say that the combat looks pretty shitty and how enjoyable the game is will depend on the ratio of combat to platforming and exploration. Something along the lines of Heroes would be what I'm hoping for.
I have a feeling the OT is going to try some full on apologetics here. It's going to be an interesting contrast if the hype and interest from the OT is not even found by anybody else playing the game. Has that even happened on GAF before? Usually bad games get berating topics, and I don't think HUELEN is aiming to be shady about the game at all.
It makes me a little sad, because it literally might be HUELEN vs the world here.

We're getting a sequel to Lost World next year. A refined and improved Lost World should be a successful formula.
How about they just stop making sonic games for a while. Sega has tons of other good ip's. As stated before, super monkey ball and billy hatcher could have received sequels.
Those games are better than the gamecube sonic games and quite frankly better than the majority of 3d sonic games.
I don't understand.

The performance is the absolute least of this games issues. The antiquated, uninspired and lazy design would still look shit no matter how much you cranked the shaders up or the amount of flops you threw at them.
Miku games are probably low-budget efforts. Same goes for the 3D Classics. VC is probably easy for them to bring over to PC and is more understandable since the Steam market makes it a worthy investment for them.
Big budget console projects like Yakuza? Not so much. Sega's western branch has downsized hard.
I'd like to think even flawed games deserve fair OTs unless it's something laughably bad like Ride to Hell.

His name is Eggman because he looks like an egg and a lot of his mech have an round look to them. And he still has his egg shaped body. Hell, even Boom kept it (though it looks like an upside down egg on a cup)
It's honestly the only redesign I like out of all the ones from Boom.

SMB had games on 3DS and Vita recently and they both bombed critically and commercially. Nobody would buy a new Billy Hatcher even if it was good. Mascot platformers don't sell these days if it's not an established name. Even the Rayman name barely sells these days and that's with critically acclaimed games. What chance would Billy Hatcher have?

Yakuza is a flop over here.
Hatsune Miku- never heard of it.
Shining Force- heard of it, but let's not pretend it's some massively successful ip. It's still an obscure title for anyone other than the hardcore.
The golden age of Sega is well behind them.
From my perspective, Eggman was just never meant to be sinister in the first place, so I think the name's far more suitable than "Robotnik". Eggman works much better as a comic relief villain. His dialogue has been the saving grace of just about every Sonic game script since Mike Pollock started voicing him.
It is funny how Boom Eggman doesn't even look like an egg, though

You're right. I don't understand why but your right. This game would sell way than the other mentioned games.
How about Legman?
Oh wait, that would describe every other redesigned character also.
Bandages the Hedgehog, Shoulders the Echidna, Miles "Goggles" Prower, Amy Rose and Dr Legman. Featuring Shadow "I hate friendship" the Edgehog

He looks like a piece of quesadilla. There's really nothing eggy about his new design, especially if you see him in motion. He actually looks more swole than Knuckles.
Shadow the Edgehog has made my day.

It's amazing to think that Sonic vs. Mario used to be a serious debate among gamers.

I love how they make a giant spaceship but don't give it ANY sound effects. Holy crap.
What the hell did I see??
I was more aghast at the shadows and incredibly lifeless animations for a vehicle that can move in the air. It looks so..stationary for something that's supposed to be anything but.

That's exactly what I was thinking. It looks so simple... Not menacing in the slightest.
