From their webpage:

After 13 years of art directing original IP titles at Naughty Dog, Bob Rafei founded BRB in 2009 with Jeff Lander for the mission of creating great character action games. We have brought together a collection of talented veterans from Naughty Dog, Heavy Iron, Luxo Flux and High Impact Games to develop engaging games through addictive gameplay, responsive controls, fluid character performance, highly polished art direction and strong narrative.

Not sure how true that is, but damn. This game had a terrible development cycle.

Yikes, if true.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Yikes, if true.

High Impact Games has a terrible record. All the developers of bad R&C and Jak games together.

So I am not surprised at all...

Edit: Heavy Iron is even worse.

It is obvious why they only advertised the ND ex-employees.

It doesn't look great so far but I'm going to wait until I see some single player in the hard mode until I write it off completely.

 

[Nokterian]

Alex looks so happy. And holy shit seeing and reading that it is a mess and made by people who where rejected from a lot of company's it shows.

 

[KidGalactus]

What's wrong with Sonic's voice?

 

[superNESjoe]

I need context for this. Assuming it's a Yoshi thing but it'd be amazing if it was Sonic related.

He hates Yoshi games from what I recall, saying they're a waste of Nintendo's efforts or something like that.

 

[Klyka]

Watched the two episodes of the series.

Eggman and Sonic's voice actors really make the show. Second episode was legit funny (not laugh out loud) in places.

 

[NTom64]

Mate of mine on Twitter made this as a quick joke.

Dawn of the Final Day

Right, was just wondering what video this was from and what he was playing/seeing.

It's him checking out Yoshi's Wooly World at E3 this year.

This is the funniest thread on GAF, my god

 

[Harmen]

Hahaha, wow, I'm sorry for you Sonic fans. But man, this is cracking me up. The next Sonic 06-tier trainwreck?

 

[superNESjoe]

This is the funniest thread on GAF, my god

I haven't followed a thread this religiously since the Smash threads pre-3ds launch.

Sonic Boom |OT| Don't Worry, You Don't Actually HAVE to Play it

 

[JMTHEFOX]

Poor thing.

Dear god, I could imagine the insane hell he suffered with this game.

Casual fan of him btw

EDIT: This thread is solid gold for the gifs though.

I don't understand Sega, why would you ever lend your biggest franchise to... that.

The show really isn't that bad, got a few laughs out of me as well. Mike Pollock is such a good Eggman and I'm actually kind of glad the cartoon got made so we can hear more of him than we usually get to in the traditional Sonic games.

 

[TheSlySoul]

The best thing that can come from this is SomeCallMeJohnny's review of each game.
Rock Launch is still my favorite review moment (Sonic 06).

 

[The Hermit]

(spoilers?) This game is a joke.

holy shit this is sonic 2006 level of bad

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

God I still can't with the horrendous character designs. Just awful all around.

 

[Sami+]

Got the idea from a suggestion earlier in the thread lol

i don't see jak 2 or the true ratchet spinoffs on that mc list

I luv u.

 

[Spades]

Is it wrong that I still want to play this?

 

[Seanlole]

Sonic Boom OT | Let's talk about how good Sonic '06 was

 

[Wario64]

You're missing the Brazzers logo.

Though, wow... I don't know what to say. The game looks interesting but disappointing. Guess I'll pick it up one day... probably a year from now or so.

 

[Asbear]

holy shit this is sonic 2006 level of bad

It's even worse. Sonic 06 has some pretty unfinished stuff but most of the ideas are set in place, just completely unpolished. This is just... it's not just unfinished it's like they barely started desiging it -- specifically I'm talking about the ship landing and not dropping the enemies, the music not caring and, oh my god.

 

[TI82]

So, was this game made based off the new show they were already making or did they make the show off of the ideas for this game?

 

[Yuterald]

This game looks mad funny =0

Seems like show first, then games, if quality is anything to judge between the show and game.

 

[Asbear]

Sonic Boom doesn't deserve to get Gamer Poop because it IS already gamer poop.

 

[TI82]

Sure hope so

 

[Arc Christelle]

Sonic BOOM |OT| Jaw-dropping levels of quality.

 

[Jawmuncher]

So is the show at least decent since the game isn't?

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Someone's gonna fired for this

Holy shit.

Is there a let's play of this up yet? It seems like it'll be a painful comedy goldmine.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

It's amusing to watch. Not top quality, but a good chuckle.

 

[HolyCheck]

OH GOD.

Is the TV show at least good?

the premise of hte 2nd episode is that robotniks lab has been destroyed and he stays with sonic and tails for a few nights and they have pillow fights and watch movies.

 

[Sami+]

I luv u.

<3

 

[NewVegasDog]

Holy shit.

There was, but got taken down by uploader after Sega found out it was being leaked.

 

[R_thanatos]

OMG i can't even ....

The gifs in this threads are fabulous !

 

[Foffy]

Someone's streaming the game.

Turns out to increase your ring/health counter, you need the 3DS game. I love locked abilities like this...

 

[GamerJM]

Holy shit.

You know I'm tempted to buy a copy of this game and a capture card and play through the game with a drunk group of friends just because I'm sure a well-done LP making fun of this game would do well in terms of YouTube views.

 

[WonderzL]

I'm really glad that at least the show delivered.

 

[Jamix012]

the premise of hte 2nd episode is that robotniks lab has been destroyed and he stays with sonic and tails for a few nights and they have pillow fights and watch movies.

And it was really fucking good. I loved it.

Sonic totally gave Shadow some Sweet Chin Music.

 

[To Far Away Times]

I watched that cutscene and it would probably be shorter to do a list of what it did right than what it did wrong. This is Sonic 06 all over again. Can we call this one... Sonic 2014?

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Unfortunately my dream of JonTron playing this are all but gone now that he left Game Grumps

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARIN
