US: Nov 20

Boxart

 

[IntelliHeath]

Just updated the main thread with new boxart for S&ASRT

 

[Drago]

The box art is really really bad.

The game itself looks really good though. Will pick up at WiiU launch

 

[Ithil]

So there's the monkey, Robotnik, and five Sonics. Good roster.

 

[enzo_gt]

Box art is okay. Mostly because I already fathomed 100 "could've been worse" scenarios in my head.

 

[pants]

yay for europe! <3

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

I get what they're trying to accomplish with the box art, but it looks hokey with only Sonic, Eggman, and AiAi off in the corner.

That's a pretty good trailer. Vyse got some action, Joe Musashi's hover-craft was rad, and Eggman blew up a bridge? I don't recall hearing about destructible environments, so it could have just been a set-piece.

Oh: the Heresy Dragon was there too.

 

[Parfait]

At last, the Eternal arcadia sequel we've been waiting for!

Maybe there'll be more characters added to the cover?
EDIT: Wait Joe is in the trailer?!

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Joe, the dragon from Panzer Dragoon Saga, and blown-up bridges. All in the trailer.

Aside from that, though, there's nothing new that we don't already know.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Fuck you dubstep.

I was just about to say the complete opposite (about the box art). This is vibrant, the contrast of red, white and blue is great (it will stand out next to other games on the shelves), it’s got two clear focus points in the logo and the car, and when you look closer it even explains the basic premise of what „Transformed” means for gameplay. What is bad about it? Or are you one of those who want pencil drawings on covers that will turn 99% of potential buyers off the product?

 

[IntelliHeath]

I noticed that they haven't shown wii u logo for trailer yet. I wonder why?

I bet that it is because nintendo haven't reveal their release date for wii u yet.

 

[Kokonoe]

Only bad thing I can say about the box art is that the Monkey Ball monkey is kinda out of place there.

Other than that, looks good.

It's more the fact that it's 5 Sonics on a box

I think it looks nice but having all those Sonics on there with that wierd AiAi in the corner makes it look really really bad.

Spoiler

pencil drawings would look nice too though

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Yeah: what the hell is AiAi doing there anyway? I think Eggman could leave, too, if they're trying to focus the box-art on the transformation mechanic and Sonic. Then, of course, the colors would still stick out, and the composition could be refined further.

I think this is the worst. Are we 4 year olds? Just show different characters racing each other in different vehicles. If it needs to be stressed, perhaps a car form about to lift off and you see others already transformed or something like that.

Haha, you think „we” are the target audience for this? We are the old school fans that’ll buy it even if we know it’s bad. This is a game targeted for kids 7-12. More or less. As a bonus they’ll get the Mario/Sonic-generation of ever-young 30-year-old Peter Pan-syndrom „boys”.

 

[Ghizz]

The cover art is nice
But whether its a day 1 pick up is a whole nother matter

 

[Lexmark2]

I really just want selvaria to be in this game along with someone from streets of rage is that so much to ask sega .

Either way day 1 for me because it has vyse and joe from shinobi.

7-12 year olds wouldnt even have been born the last time a panzer dragoon game was released

I just made myself feel old

 

[Boerseun]

Nonsense. I'm 33. I buy Sonic games. That doesn't make me a childish Peter Pan-syndrome "boy". I have a family and a job. I simply enjoy playing video games to relax.

 

[Salsa]

boxart reminds me of Animorphs

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Where da' fuck Hazuki!?

 

[Witchfinder General]

Day 1 for PC.

 

[Surface of Me]

Sonic cant even let Eggman win a race? What a petty motherfucker.

 

[Roo]

Wonder why there's no Wii U logo
I mean... we already know the game is coming lol

 

[Xater]

Not enough Sonic on the cover...

 

[Alex Connolly]

Was that Gilius Thunderhead riding past? Madness of the finest variety. Beastrider redeemed.

 

[Milchjon]

Didn't realize they put Vyse in there. Aw yeah.

 

[RoyalFool]

Can't wait, the original felt like one of those underated gems doomed to never get a sequel. Have they said if they are removing any characters because the lack of Ryo so far has me worried... What on earth can he fly for a start!

 

[Rlan]

Likely to just reference the release date -- they don't know whether it'll be out by that date for the Wii U, because we don't know when the Wii U will be out!

And the cover could have been done better by cutting out the two transforming bits and replacing the boat and plane versions with other characters would have been better.

Also I'm not much of a fan of how they're promoting characters and levels sort of half-arsedly. They need to promote each new track with a video showing it off, and the video showing off the new characters they're announcing. Like how Capcom would promote characters in Marvel Vs. Capcom or Street Fighter X Tekken -- new video showing off what the new characters are capable of in a new level.

At the moment it's just been "Oh, Joe Musashi is here btw, and Wreck-it Ralph"

 

[RockmanWhore]

This CG looks amaking, the Sonic games will look great next gen.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Didn't realize they put Vyse in there. Aw yeah.

His focus in the trailer makes it seem like a SoA port should come soon, just like how Nintendo focused on Pit before the new Kid Icarus game.

This CG looks amaking, the Sonic games will look great next gen.

Sega's CG team do good work.

The Sonic games look good now, that's not the problem with them.
