Sonic Boom Street Date (and fans' hearts) Broken

My favorite thing about the Shadow bit is that they went to the trouble of foreshadowing a scene that amounts to nothing more than "I'm an asshole. Fight me."



There's better Sonic SFM stuff out there, lol.

How is it 2014 and some people are still surprised when a new Sonic game comes out and is pure junk?

Seriously, they are batting like, 1 in 10 good Sonic games.

Because it's 2014 and not 2006.

" fuck you fight me"

" why"

" you don't need to worry about that , you just need to fight me untill they white ranger the shit out of me"

" the hell does that mean"

" toy commercial lets go son!"
 
This is a huge slap in the face to all the people who thought this was gonna be a good Sonic game.
This should teach Sega not to outsource Sonic games again...

I don't know about that but it will probobly be some insert instead of aliens. or aliens.

" shadow is descended from the titans, hes the ultimate lifearooo cool duders"

And that is when the white ranger treatment will occur, because toy commercials.

also I swear the shadow has a different framerate than the ship, just look at that thing.

I thnk the ship has the same shit frame rate, its just has color on a color background, and its harder to notice. But the shadow is just black so we can just look at how shit the frame rate is.

also was that ship supposed to be dropping enemies or something because i didn't see any

"Wait...where my dramatic music reveal? Thomas, you promised a music reveal! Ya know what, no, everybody stay on board. DON'T YOU FUCKIN' LEAVE THE SHIP, ROBOT ENEMIES! We're teleporting back to base until these guys get their shit together."

What are you smoking, the ship clearly is moving much more fluidly than its shadow. It's not even something you need to examine frame-by-frame D:

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.

Better than being mediocre at least.
 
i understand that this game was rushed out the door to coincide with the debut of the TV show. how could sega not know this was going to happen? they should have made much more stripped down or streamlined sonic game.

I don't think so, I think they can do this beat em up sonic.

Its a thing that can work, they just need good combat , and controls.

Hell no, outsource ALL future sonic games to christian whitehead (retro engine, sonic CD, 1, 2 ios/android/pc). At least then we know they would be well made titles. And 2D!
 
This looks so... slow.

I feel kinda ashamed that this game is brought to you by the same people who created the original Crash Bandicoot games...

what I mean is they obviously didn't have any time to polish anything up let alone make the combat fun. they should really have toned the cutscene stuff and either make the game about the combat or the sonic platforming.
 
The fact that this game wasn't in the last Nintendo Direct despite being exclusive was relevant about its quality anyhow.

They really needed to focus on making sequels instead of constantly, desperately, throwing things out and creating new games that tried to put a twist on the established formula. Why we never saw Unleashed 2, Generations 2, colors 2 is beyond me. They could have actually built off of prior recognition and improved and established frameworks instead of trying to awkwardly adapt 'what worked' into the next game (see Colors -> Lost World)
Click to expand...

I understand your point, but Colors and Generatiosn ARE Sonic Unleashed 2 and 3, core-gameplay wise.

We're getting a sequel to Lost World next year. A refined and improved Lost World should be a successful formula.

My thoughts exactly
 
Haunted said:
wrong coordinates for characters in cutscenes
clipping/collision issues
bad writing
poorly timed voiceovers
embarrassing shadows
shit looking environments

Lack of polish, lack of care, lack of ideas.

oy vey

The video is hilarious but this is all true and very well put.

Sonic fans should be angry and insulted. If it's a resource problem and the publisher's fault, BRB should be furious with Sega too as this shit will taint them. If it's just their own lack of care? Not good enough!

Sega always rushes Sonic games. The only time they didn't was Sonic 4 Episode 1, if only because the leak was not received well by anybody.

AND Episode 1 was still shit.

Didn't this game take like 2-3 years.

I dunno doesn't that sound like enough time to you?
