Check Out This Off-Screen Image Of Sonic Boom

Amanda Rose

One of the members of the Spin Dash forums has posted an offscreen image from the forthcoming Sonic Boom on the Wii U. While it’s currently a work in progress, it shows off the game’s current HUD and gives an idea of camera angles. The image also gives us a look at a Wii U development kit.

          1. It was a bad game, it felt broken, had completely uneven difficulty, and had ridiculously easy bosses. The only good thing about it was the music.

          2. I just could not get in to it, so I put it away after World 2.Played it again for the Zelda and Yoshi DLC, but put it away right after. The game just felt… unfinished. Worst $100 I’ve spent, along with Sticker Stars!

            1. I remember growing up there was 2-3 fat kids to make fun of. Those days are over, the fat kids are growing in numbers so you cannot single them out.

              Refined sugar… Enough said

              1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

                I know, my stupid country likes to copy most things about the US so I expect these idiots to become fatter here aswell…

                1. I’m very, very, very disappointed with you guys. Overweight people, like all people in the world, no matter if ugly, homosexual, Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Jew, whatever, should not be judged by their look or creed, but by their ethos, competence and uniqueness. It’s time to grow up and build better discussion here.

                  1. I agree with that completely, however being obese is actually dangerous to your health. It’s not a matter of making fun ( it was as a child, but I’m an adult now), it’s more I’d like to see every person get the most out of life which includes health

                    1. I concur: being obese is definitely risky. I was claiming that it is sad, really sad, supposedly civilized people here making jokes on overweight ones. I know you got my idea, though.

              2. Yup. High Fructose Corn Syrup. Eskimos eat fatty mean everyday but have some of the lowest rates of heart disease.

      1. Not all Americans are fat. Atleast we have the best game developers in the world, next to japan. It’s funny how your best selling games are from American developers.

            1. I like how your profile says: “I like to ask intelligent questions and have intelligent conversations with intelligent people.” yet your posts seem to be the complete opposite.

    1. Don’t make comments about her? I wanted to ask about her left arm though, it seemed to have a cool pattern on it. Is it a tattoo?

    1. Valve Admiral GLaDOS

      Xbone devkit looks funnier, it’s made of paper. No wonder your console is still an underpowered wreck. Lol

  1. Lookin’ good. this is probably the first sonic game I’ve actually been interested in. Seeing as Big Red Button is comprised of ex-naughty dogs who worked on Jak and daxter this might actually turn out pretty good.

  2. the lady must “the game going suck lol”. the xbox one dev kits are way better than wii u or cafe dev kit.

    1. Dude don’t be retarded. Who the hell cares about how the Dev kit looks? We don’t have to play on it, the devs just develop the game on it. Get a life bro…

  3. The game actually looks cool. But I won’t get it till the reviews come. I still remember the diasppointment that was Lost World Sega -,-“

  4. Eww.. That ring counter thing is way too big imo since there’s space to the left of the ring.. Also, why green? I’d have just kept it blue to match Sonic.. Just my 2 cents.

    1. Green so it doesn’t match ANY of the characters. Sonic is blue, Knuckles is Red, Amy is Pink and Tails is Yellow.

      Makes perfect sense to use Green.

    1. I was browsing the comments to see if I was the only one who noticed that. Besides the fact that the game is in a early development stage, the picture could have been taken when the game had a timely framerate drop.

    2. It also says DX11 Profile 32bit (i doubt wiiu is actually using DX11),
      -Polys: 1,378,926
      -Shadows, 622,723
      -the gamepad has a different camera angle
      -there is a calendar picture of a snake swallowing something
      -she has tiger strips tattoo
      -there is a white Human Organ box next to her feet
      -there is a #1 next to Sonic’s head in the HUD, may hint at player number for co-op or multiplayer
      -they are using gray and white tiled textures as stand-in, it’s clear they have more work to do

      1. also, there is a pro controller next to the dev kit.
        this + the number next to sonic, probably means more than one player.

    1. I see nothing wrong the design, in parallel to the general Modern/Classic design. Blue arms make all of the sense in the world, and the scarf is plenty fitting for his character.

  5. After the MISTAKE that was Sonic Lost World I don’t have much hope for the game. And will not be buying this before reviews like I did Lost World.

    1. At the very least give him a god damn break for once, for just a few years, I mean with lost world late 2013, this game late 2014, the talks of a new game made by sonic team and the countless spin-offs he deserves it

        1. Oh, it’s opened, in fact. But IE could be opened for a number of reasons, like clicking on a link which opens the default OS browser. And the presence of Chrome (which is not Windows 7 native software) also strongly suggests that IE is not their preferred internet browser.

  6. This game is looking really good, but I won’t get my hopes up till I play it myself, I mean I did for lost world and we all know how that turned out. Anyway with E3 coming up and the promise of more footage I can’t wait

    What are you morons! If this was done for the PS4, Sonick would be the best design so far, and since this is the Wii U Exkluzive it’s ugly design! Do you say, Sonick looks great, plays also, will work on 60.fps in 1080p. Sony and Xbox drones will eat out of envy!
    Just will not admit it, and will write di arrive drafted, the game is crap!

  8. there’s an xbox controller on her desk ;) … also it’s January … she’s got chips and a cookie … there’s a webcam pointing at the TV … maybe she’s recording it that way? … they’re using soft-lighting instead of sun-lighting for their studio (blah) … want me to point out anything else? … he he

  9. Wow, it looks like a mix of Ratchet & Clank and Jak & Daxter

    And considering those are my two favorite platformer series, I’m excited.

  10. I’m impressed by the game. These people who think Sonic has never been good need to go back and play Generations and Colors. Sonic games have as much potential as anyone, and can be good. Also, this picture has been up for quite some time now.
