NWR have captured fifteen minutes worth of footage from the latest Sonic title to grace the Wii U, Sonic Boom. The footage of Rise of Lyric features a lush jungle setting for Sonic, Knuckles and Amy to race their way through collecting as many gold rings as possible. The game looks as though it could do with some polish, but there’s still a while to go before release. The game is due out in November.
Here’s 15 Minutes Of Sonic Boom Rise Of Lyric Footage For Wii U
COINS????
Ha, playing too much Mario.
Sickr. Why you ban me?
Anonymous, who are you?
Aheheheheheh!!! Take a good gues :P
Sasori rebirth…
I’m not Sasori. He got his account back… guess again :)
Sure looks like a Sonic game alright. Shitty, tedious gameplay, annoying voice acting, I can’t wait to see how bad this game scores. Looks worse than Sonic Flop World.
First
Fail
Thought I was?
Will there ever be another Sonic Adventure type game? I used to be a serious Sonic fan as a kid, but now I just walk straight pass it in the store. We used to be good friends…
We can only hope, but sadly the series has moved on now, to different projects and gameplay styles
This game looks great so far. No game is going to be perfect but I don’t see this being boring, especially since it is not in its final form, yet. I know the fanbase is divided but I do not let that get to me. It is best to play the first before judging. There were so many games that have gotten bashed before release and they turn to be good, at least some of them,
Sonic + Ratchet & Clank + Jak and Daxter = SONIC BOOM
Yep… It’s an insta-buy for me.
I gotta say, the soundtrack is pretty good so far, so epic. I also love the writing especially the start of the forest level. Sonic you’re such a sarcastic asshole and I love you <3
It looks like it isn’t even fun. I don’t see anybody getting the value for the price of this game at all, and I just don’t see how Sonic games can deliver anymore.
Correction
YOU don’t see anybody getting the value for the price of this game at all, and I just don’t see how Sonic games can deliver anymore.
Sorry Sonicguy, I just don’t know what fun someone could get from these games anymore. Can it live up to most of the games we saw during E3? No, it might never reach that level of greatness. Sega does’t realize that Sonic is dying, and they just won’t give up on something that isn’t going to earn them enough money.
There is obvious fun, whether that appeals to you is a matter of preference, people that enjoys beatem ups, people that enjoy exploration, or people that just like sonic in general
What exploration? You are practically on rails! Skyrim has exploration, this has single file lines. Beat em ups can be fun, but not all, and I doubt a Sonic game can keep an old beat em up feeling fresh and new. It looks the same, and I don’t expect them to ever do anything with Sonic that works. He was even horrible in Smash Bros!
Still far more exploration than anything post adventure and the stage with sonic and amy shows this alot better also what does smash have to do with this?
He was in Smash, and his character even in that was pretty meh for a Smash character.
But what does that have to do with sonic boom?
I am talking about Sonic in general. Now, I can’t be sure if this game is going to be good or bad quite yet, but I feel it in my bones. And how can we trust them anymore. They gave us the medieval sonic game that crashed, Sonic Unleashed that was a failure, and the dreaded Sonic 06. What is the most recent Sonic game that was adequate?
The only Sonic games that I have not enjoy where 2006 and Sonic and the dark knight. All the other where really good. In the recent Sonic games, I especially loved Colors and Lost World ^_^
This isn’t sonic team though, these guys did crash, they did jak and daxter, they did uncharted. Sonic team are truly terrible
They may make some good ones, but they will make some s*** too.
Sonicfan…you’re such a cock sucker. Sonic is a fucking pathetic franchise. There are more bad-mediocre Sonic games than there are good. And Sonic Boom looks like another addition to the shitty formula. Why don’t you just accept it? Are you fucking 12 or something?
Guys remember it is only a demo and think about it, there maybe exploration during later levels and before levels like sonic adventure.
Or….SEGA can wise the fuck up already and give us Sonic Adventure 3 with free-roaming like adv1 but gameplay like adv2. I love sonic my first game when I was 3 was Sonic 3 for the genesis, but after last gen his games are getting assy, Sonic 06 was great!…musically bug infested gameplay. The most recent great sonic games were Sonic Unleashed, Generations…..and the Episodes.
If theyre gonna give us canon give us Sonic Battle 2(sequel to gba fighting game) for consoles and hand helds. And stop adding slow paced platforming like colors and lost world. SONIC moves fast why break the pace to move up a grappling hook slowly and push blocks? He’s sonic not mario. Sorri for the rant but Sega is fucking up with sonic. And Capcom (irrelevant) is fucking up with Megaman Trigger (aka volnutt).
Oh yeah, and they can cool it down with all the really cheesy and corny dialog in the dang 15 minute demo! They are digging their own grave.
Looks like I’ll have to play this game on mute.
I hope they have moe then this
I get a baaaad Bubsy 3D vibe from the dialogues… I’m gonna need a lot of wine for that amount of cheese.
Gameplay… meh.
This looks so bad. They were promising something new with Sonic Boom but its still the same annoying voiceovers and the stop and start gameplay. Why can’t they just stick to what they’re good at? The non-stop high speed running like the original sonic or the day levels in Sonic Unleashed it what sonic should be.
You my friend, have summed it up perfectly! If they’re gonna platform make it like sonic heroes. Unleashed truly made u feel like sonic…..or a race car (drifting) and I dont mean the ps3 xbox360 versions I mean the wii and ps2 versions.
I hope they don’t screw up Sonic like the last time… Sega already has a bad name, don’t need to ruin themselves even more
Sonic is made for speed, not combat. I can’t imagine who came up with the idea of sonic NOT running.
That’s why there are also speed levels, it’s always nice to have a change of pace, something new and different, sticking to the same old shit will get them nowhere
Also, you’re pathetic. Typical fanboy. You defend every shitty move Sega makes. Sonic & the Secret Rings, Black Knight, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic R, Unleashed, Lost World, sonic 06, the list will continue to grow and there’s nothing you can do about it.
you’re pathetic. Typical hateboy.
Even though I hate every game you listed there (minus unleshed), I’m just saying give them a chance especially since we have crash, jak and daxter and uncharted guys working on this, they know what they are doing
Also why would I listen to a guy called sega sucks ass, obvious troll is obvious
His name is SONIC.
Compare those “speed levels” with any day stage from unleashed.
So it’s a bad thing they are somewhat controllable?
Wasn’t the Sonic brand slapped into this game? Projared said that’s what he understood from a rep at the Sega Booth. It wasn’t a Sonic game to begin with.
No I think he said that’s what the game felt like
Oh ok. … That really doesn’t make me fell better about the game though.
I’m not saying the game looks bad, but CryEngine 3 isn’t a good match at all for sonic. The Hedgehog Engine made Sonic look his absolute best. Their redesigns only make it worse.
With all that talking its like Bubsy 3D mixed with Thieves in Time. And that’s bad especially with those type of voices.
Dang nab it SANZARU games! Why do you overload it with the voice talking?
What….is…this….?
…What is this? A Sonic for babies?!
The game needs to be at least…3 times better than this.
Attempt at that would make it three times as worse.
Sega’s already making an HD remake for Sonic 06?
This game makes me embarrased to ever supporting Sonic. Seriously this is just terrible. Its official this series is dead to me now, i gave them plenty of chances after 06 and they got something going with Colours and Generations but then Sega started to suck again. Sega is just shitty company nowadays and people just need to accept it, they arent the same they were in Dreamcast days.
Yes Judge a game before its out oh wait this is today’s gaming community so it’s expected sorry my bad
Sorry but right now this looks even worse than Sonic Lost World…
These are my problems with this game so far:
1. Music might be good but somewhat unfitting…
2. The constant annoying talks everywhere, just keep your mouths shut!
3. Robotnik looks awful, worst design ever…
4. Typical stupid hollywood humor that isn’t even funny…
5. Boss Battles seem unexciting…
Yawn…
Yeah i agree what you said. Granted atleast Lost World tried to be Sonic game, it tried to return to roots of the series by trying to do something new at the same time and borrowing elements from Mario Galaxy. Although Lost World failed to do what it was meant to be(they should had developed that game 1 more year imo it felt unfinished).
But SonicBoom isnt even trying to be Sonic game, im sure it was some spiritual successor to Jak&Dexter or something but got slapped Sonic in it when Sega asked them to do a game. And that whole “western Sonic” thing is just awful. It seems like Sega doesnt even care about the stuff they put out(no wonder after 06,Aliens etc.) I mean where they find guts to put all this shit out.
Nintendo made a deal with the wrong company, they should had invested more in Platinum Games or something. Well i guess this deal will be the last Nintendo makes with Sega.
Indeed…
What they should have done instead is getting Alien Isolation…
It would make wonders with the Gamepad…
Those are really weak reasons commander I’m disappointed
Is there really a need to complain about the designs what difference does it make, even then eggmans is great
They just look stupid now…
But in the bigger picture every other reason I gave is much more problematic for me…
It went from homing attacks to something else…
Why can’t we just have a Sonic that is like the first games?…
No homing, just plain simple jump attacks and spin attacks…
Oh and for once having Robotnik machines that actually look like killing machines as they were in the main series…
Sega,throw away this crap and make us sonic adventure already
Sega isnt capable of that anymore. All they wanna do now is lame MobileVersions of CrazyTaxi and others.
My lord, it looks awful…
The only people to make a worthwhile Sonic game since the Megadrive/Genesis days were the guys behind the Sonic Fan Remix that Sega shut down…
Man someone are holding on into their nostalgia a bit too long , well I can careless what you people say I’m still gonna buy it
Looks extremely boring. Can Sega actually come up with any good ideas anymore? I won’t be getting this…….yet. Not saying I won’t, but it might be ok.
This game looks AWFUL.
I still don’t like the redesigns (especially Knuckles), but gameplay-wise, this honestly doesn’t look bad. Miles ahead of Sonic Lost Cause, anyway.
Their just designs get over it oh wait this is today’s gaming community they don’t accept anything new sorry my bad
Sorry nintendo com,anders assistant I just like that saying can I start using it ?
anybody else notice that there’s no sound when fighting the bad guys?
