I'm betting this is just a subtle jab at that they think of "platformers" and "Nintendo exclusives" in the way of quality.

At least Shadow has a reason to be a jerk in the 3DS version.
The 3DS version seems to be the better of the two.

Don't these motherfuckers know about Streisand Effect?

Ah, now there's a familiar sight.
This happened to me when I posted leaked material of Unleashed back in 2008. Cost me my account too.

Youtube's hardly perfect but there's a lot less account closures over this stuff lately. Usually only when a game dev doesn't want negative and/or pre-release videos of their content out.
Why aren't there reviews out yet? It's out TOMORROW.
...oh right.
This is Sega, the same company that went after people for posting footage of 10+ year old Shining games. Of course, this was an attempt to get those fucking awful PSP games noteworthy responses when searching on the franchise.
That worked out well for em.

Oh yeah, I remember that Shining Force thing, that was super asinine. Someone I knew uploaded all his Shining Force videos under a different name to avoid Sega's pack of hounds.
That video must be preserved for the ages. I will show it to my children.

I thought the same thing. Someone needs to archive it before it's too late, future generations of game developers will have it shown to them as a cautionary tale hologram before they go to sleep.
hahahahaha...damage done
*sigh* A bit late now; the damage has already been done. All this serves to do is make the situation worse...
Even if it was, it would probably be reuploaded first thing in the morning anyway.

Yeah actually, I feel bad lol. It was more of a joke, don't actually use it. It'd be pretty bad form
I really do pity their situation, I'm certain something out of their control happened in the middle of production. It's not hard to come to the conclusion that this was a cross-gen, cross-platform release at some point, with the PS4/X1 versions as the lead platforms. The exclusivity deal probably fucked all that up.

I would like to hear exactly what happened here. That cryengine 3 demo seems very out of place now. However, the animations and everything else are so bad I find it hard to believe it's just changing platforms that went wrong.

I don't get why SEGA have left the cutscenes video up from Rocksterrock. Their account appears to alive for now.
But since the game is out in a days time I guess the LP can resume then...or will SEGA C&D it again despite the fact the players didn't think it was terrible, its just not a Sonic game (its basically like what we've thought, an unremarkable 2000s era platformer).

I was a bit too hard on him...

Impossible, they are clearly laughing at both nintendo's sonic deal and wii u owners with this crap, sonic has been rubbish for ages but this is taking it to sonic 06 lows.
No one should feel sorry for these developers, they are clearly taking the piss with a title that's not ready and was never going to be even slightly playable.
Oh shit, you deserve more credit than you have gotten.

I was actually in that thread. I'll take anything /v/ says with massive grains of salt, but if that supposed job posting at BRB for a "crossgen game based off massive third party property" meant Sonic Boom, then this game having bad development would explain a lot.

After seeing the gameplay, I am not so surprised. Also, that guys videos got removed.

Anyone got a backup of that video with Shadow talking to Sonic about his pathetic friends?

Probably not, it was at like 90 views when I tweeted it and removed shortly after. I'm sure it will be uploaded post release though

The only hope I have for this abomination foaming in the pits of Mobius is that SEGA will never again do something as stupid as crib a premise from the Generic '80s Saturday Morning Cartoon Playbook and rush a game to half-completion so it can debut roughly alongside a sent-to-die kids' show. Get a Western project manager immediately! License some fan-game creations! Let Whitehead and company make a retro revival installment! Anything like that would be cheaper and healthier for the franchise.
Now all the pressure's going to land on Sonic Team. I hope their next game simply expands on Generations or Colors without pretension or new gimmicks.
