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

So it turns out Sonic Boom had only 1 QA tester.

Edit: Turns out there were more testers on Sega's side at the start and end of the credits. So more than 30.
 
shots fired by sonic at knuckles na he would be dead lol
 
The cutscenes in the game seem surprisingly entertaining so it's just a bummer that the actual game looks to be shit. It'll make for an entertaining YouTube video at least.

"...we take the stairs from now on."

Can't say I ever imaged a Sonic game would have stronger writing than gameplay :lol
 
They'll patch the infini jump for sure though.

Don't try to get me to buy this!

If they did and we disable internet to our Wii U before loading the disc each time... Would that bypass any patches? I seriously also have your fear. No way I'd buy this if they remove that awesome bug.
 
Hard working men and women came home late to their families because they were working on this game, which is actually really depressing.
You dont know that. Maybe they slacked off for a whole year, cut work early and took plenty of time off to be with their partners and children.

I can't remember if Wii U auto-downloads patches when in standby. If so then you'll either need to turn that off or disconnect it from the internet when not in use.
 
SEGA SEAL OF QUALITY!

The game deserves its own fair share of bashing, but this is false. That's the staff at Illfonics if you go back the video a few seconds...

The actual QA part of BRB/Sega has a lot more staff if you watch the credits.

Which is kinda worrying with how the game turned out.
 
I can't get over how bad the writing and voice acting is, I know the series has never been a shining example of writing and voice acting, but it was sorta passable when not occasional cringe-worthy. This is just bad.

I wonder when the agreement was made to bring this game to the WiiU?
