Re: The Sonic the Hedgehog Discussion Thread!
The game is a prequel that's suppose to tie into the show, not become the main series itself. The show's much like SatAM and the Sonic The Hedgehog cartoon were to the games.

Re: The Sonic the Hedgehog Discussion Thread!
Ya know as much as I discourage judgement on a game before it actually comes out, I have to say this thing looks like complete garbage. They somehow backpedaled on all the progress made in Sonic Generations and Colors. I get that this isn't the main series, but this seems like movie-licensed game quality.

Re: The Sonic the Hedgehog Discussion Thread!
Well so far it seems fairly lackluster. None of the segments were really exciting, and even the chase they showed was very slow and not very tense. The dialogue is cheese, but then again that's never been great. Other than that, the swapping between running and fighting vaguely reminds me of Sonic Unleashed, and I could even pick out some camera issues too.

Re: The Sonic the Hedgehog Discussion Thread!
It is my personal headcanon that Sonic Boom was a sequel to Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One that was retooled as a Sonic game, which was decreased in quality by virtue of being a Sonic game deviating from the norm of the series.
HIROSHI-SAMA IS STILL THE GREATEST.

Re: The Sonic the Hedgehog Discussion Thread!
Sonic Boom looks really directed to a very young audience, so I think I'm going to pass on this one... It looks interesting in it's own way though.
Also, I've been reminiscing so much of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle lately... I used to play it so much, it was like my childhood~
In the past I felt bad because my nephew really really wanted this game but couldn't find it anywhere so I gave him mine.
Recently I've been missing SA2 Battle... I recently contacted him if I could play it again and he's insisting on letting me have it. Omg. So happy.
Also, I love this video on SA2 Battle hehe it's so funny.

Oh Sonic Boom... I wanted to like you so much.
I try not to talk about games I haven't played, but at the same time, Sonic Boom isn't a must-buy game for me, and I doubt I'll ever wind up playing it. Based soley on what I've seen, though:

Re: The Sonic the Hedgehog Discussion Thread!
Reviews have been coming in and it seems about equal for the 3DS and WiiU. Both landing average scores of just below the middle line (2/5s and 4/10s mostly). So...things aren't really looking up for this spin-off.SS Sleuth wrote:Oh Sonic Boom... I wanted to like you so much.

Show's been well-received though so that's good at least we can just treat the games like just another television tie-in game.

Re: The Sonic the Hedgehog Discussion Thread!
Wow ouch... It's too bad because I liked a lot of the things SB was doing. This is Amy's best role yet, now that her character doesn't revolve around being Sonic's screeching fangirl love interest. And the desgins are a welcome change of pace from the standard Sonic style.
In the end I think Sonic Boom would have been better served by being a totally new IP; so at least it wouldn't have to worry about being a Sonic game that deviates from the norm.

Re: The Sonic the Hedgehog Discussion Thread!
Well, they made two games and a cartoon show. They might as well get all they can out of it.
