Sonic Boom Knuckles infinite jumping glitch found: Can skip 80% of game. 1hr speedrun

I don't think anyone at SEGA knows what makes a good Sonic game anymore. They keep making games similar to the last one that got a good review and when someone wants to make a new one, they fall for the "it has these nine features from the last game that was well-recieved" line every time because they don't know why that last game was actually well-recieved.
 
Oh god, I hope this appears on YT so I can watch it at work. I assume people are all commenting on the stream in the OP?

Someone should reverse this gif. It would look like it came from the toilet.
 
Maybe Sega wasn't too happy of Lost World's sales and rushed/reduced Boom's budget.
They still needed the game for the cartoon, I guess.
 
Between Halo MCC, Assassin's Creed Unity, Driveclub, and Sonic Boom, it seems you don't even need to have completely functional games before you ship that shit
 
Well looks like Ubisoft fucked up choosing to drop AC at the same time as this. They thought they could just come in at the last minute and win most busted ass game of the year. But nope Big Red Button just pushed itself and (Sonic) boom! Nuked from orbit. Total annihilation bitches.
 
The voice actors are a lot better than the actual script

also, he just equipped the Fastball Special glyph before the prompt showed up asking him if he wanted to equip glyphs. GOTTA GO FAST
 
Yo these UIs though with the solid blue gradient... That's some real struggle shit. Almost Playstation All Stars tier. :lol
 
This is fantastic. I feel bad for my dude at the Gamestop. I preordered Smash, and he was telling me about how he has all of the games for Wii U, and he even got Sonic Boom.
 
this game looks like an early second-tier 360 game

low polycount, blurry textures, poor framerate

lol when sonic moves through the water the water doesn't react in any way
 
Yeah, Sega had to know that they fucked up with that Nintendo deal after Lost World bomba'd, so they just sent this out to die so they can get out of the deal ASAP and prepare a more proper Sanic game for PS4/Xbone.
 
This is an instant cult classic, and we all got our lives a bit enriched by its mere existence.

Can't say that about most games these days.

Eh, Transformed was pretty great. But that's Sumo, I don't really consider them much a part of Sega anymore.

I wonder if there's an option to turn off the inane chatter. This is hard to even have on in the background, heh.
