*huff huff huff*
I honestly haven't played Origins, but I love what it stands for. The fact that a 2D platformer can be released on a major modern console besides one of Nintendo's and actually do really well is awesome to me.


...that's off-topic though so uhh um

...I saw Wreck-It Ralph the other night and Sonic's cameo in that was pretty cool.

...Sonic doesn't really have that much going on lately huh
Not really. They've discussed potential "next" projects for the modern generation, but I'm not sure if they have anything planned. A period of long silence following a pair of successful games probably says theyre working on something that they don't expect to finish for a while.

Sega have said that they've changed their general strategy to work on fewer and better games. This strategy has lowered their profits, but never mind, because it's still worth it. :P

When I was younger it never bothered me, but now that I'm older it really feels like a bad joke.
Ubisoft and Rayman 2 say hai.

Good, I wasn't the only one who thought the same... :wellington:
But Rayman Legends seems alright.

Jesus. Personally, I wouldn't have wanted Ryan back since the change from him to Jason back to him would have been a bit jaunting. But regardless of that, the way they treated him, and apparently treat Roger is nothing less than disgraceful. Kinda puts a damper on Lost World for me... :/

Good thing I have just found this topic.

A new Sonic game has been announced. It is called Sonic Boom, named after the show that's coming out.


Sonic Boom™ - Video Game Reveal Trailer

So what do you guys think? For me, it looks pretty cool from the video. But does this answer the third Sonic game we were going to get from Sega?

Source where I saw/heard this from: http://playeressence.com/sonic-boom-rev ... s-amazing/

Edit: Sonic Boom Gameplay Details – 4 Player Local Co-op, Special Powers for each Characters, and more
Sonic Boom has been in Development for 2 years, BRB the First Western Team to Create “an Alternate Sonic Game”

Golden Sun 4 coming out on the Switch with Golden Sun remakes of the first two games?
Was previously Ryuusai09.

Honestly, aside from Knuckles's redesign looking beyond stupid, this could actually be a cool game. I wish it had online co-op though, like All 4 One. That'd make it more interesting. As it stands it's probably not something that'll warrant a buy from me, but we'll see.

Speaking of All 4 One, that world looks very Ratchet & Clank-y.

It looks...K-ish. The character models and graphics look a bit wonky but they certainly aren't horrible (Although Knuckles's is quite WTF). Gameplay looks pretty solid and I'm wondering how the characters will play. I'm certainly interested.

I don't like Knuckles's redesign myself. It would be cool to see an Online Co-Op, but I'm more for Local/Couch Multiplayer.

Well, we could perhaps see some fixes on the character models.


Edit: Sonic Boom was Actually Shown off Last year, we Just Didn’t Know it

Most interesting.

SEGA Wants Sonic Boom to Completely Appeal to Western Gamers

How do you guys feel about having this game be for the Western gamers?

For me, I guess that's cool. Perhaps it'll sell more than the previous games that is connected to Sega.

Edit: Sonic Boom will not be Released in Japan, Sonic Team is Working on a new Title in the Franchise

If we imagine that this takes place like between 5 to 7 years after Lost World then the new Character designs make perfect sense, even Steroids!Knuckles. Just about. ^^'

But yeah, I'm looking forward to this... But given that it's a team game, I hope it's more Sonic Adventure rather than Sonic Heroes, or Sonic 06 for that matter... brr.

The Boom series has been confirmed as an alternate continuity to the games, my man. Think something similar to The Earth 666 and Ultimate Universes from Marvel.

So does that mean the redesigns and whatnot are a one time thing or is it just the show that's noncanon or something? Also where is your source?
