Here’s Some Sonic Boom Wii U Footage From Tokyo Game Show

I am not sure how to feel about this game however it will cure my thirst for sonic adventures 3………….

I feel like the game looks kinda sloppy still like the camera and character movements aren’t fluid Shouldn’t it be farther along than this

Sanic hasn’t been good since He Who Must Not Be Named took over Sega. COD will sell more copies.

Stupid Sanic. Your supposed to be on Xbox One where people will actually play your games.

I don’t understand how some people talk so bad, when the game is not released yet
(the owner of the site should censor some inappropriate comment)
to me personally, I like this game (this step reminds me of a level of Wario Land…)
but I wait the final version and review…

I don’t understand some people. Sonic fans especially. What kind of game play styles made up Sonic Adventure? Speed sections with Sonic and Tails. Exploration and platforming areas with Knuckles and Amy, shoot em up sections with E102 and Fishing with Big. Sonic Adventure 2 had the speed, exploration and shoot em up sections.

Sonic fans refuse to believe Sonic 2006 is Adventure 3 (hint, it is) but they clamor for Adventure 3. What does this game have? Speed sections, beat em up sections, platforming and exploration sections. 2D and 3D gameplay. I think it looks pretty good for what it is trying to be. It’s not Sonic Colors of Sonic Generations, but it’s not trying to be.

IDK, sometimes it seems people will only be happy if they take the Sonic Generations engine, completely re-do all the original Genesis Sonic games in that style, and allow you to play as Sonic/Tails/Knuckles and have them play the way they all did in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and/or have modern and classic versions of all the stages and give Tails and Knuckles a boost mechanic.

This game looks terrible. The character movement looks as clunky as 1st generation, 2nd tier 3D platformer (N64/PSX era), and the graphics look like an up-res of a Gamecube/Wii game. The game is CLEARLY not built upon the merits of its gameplay mechanics ir stage design, but instead in nothing but a poor quality tie-in to the animated series.

All I want from future Sonic titles is a solid gameplay engine with tight feeling speed and momentum based physics that make every stage feel like a playground where running the loops and bouncing off springs never gets old. After that, story and character design can come later … making it look as good as it can without sacrificing a moment of playability. A New look would be nice. Not just “Scarves” on the characters, but a total stylistic refresh of the world and characters to get away ftom the “Sonic Style” art of Billboard eyes and black-bean noses that were already feeling tired and old by the late 90’s.

Let it look different and new, but play more like the spirit of the original games, where it was as much a physics simulation experiment in playing as a Ball Bearing in a world of ramps, loops and springs (more, actually) as a game of catchy music, iconic yet simple characters and laberenthian exploration.

This Sonic Boom Game, and almost every 3D sonic game for that matter, is completely getting it backwards. They are soo focused on making things LOOK fast and exciting, and making the characters LOOK like their cartoon show counterparts that they sacrifice playability to give you unplayable quicktime events and animations, restrict character movement to suit the character models and animation style … and they have just completely forgotten to include the living-pinball, pseudo-physics, rolling-momentum based gameplay that made the Sprite Based originals so fun, timeless and entertaining in the first place.

They need to stop crafting games that cater to the Sonic expanded-univese fan community, and just focus on making games where it is fun to push a spiky blue ball in one direction or another Really, Really Fast and delight in how PHYSICS (not on-rails paths, or scripted quicktime animations) make it roll and bounce and fly off the ends of ramps, or around giant loops … the way it used to be. Add great music, silly stage design and a simple story about rescuing forest animals from the bug baddie and So long as Sonic and Pals are there, the fans will come.

I’m so sick of these themed, scripted, BS Sonic games. 2 decades later and the 16 bit originals are still more fun to play. Lost World actually at least LOOKED fun (but wasn’t when I actually played it). This one doesn’t even look like it is fun to play. Count me out.
