Wow Knuckles.

Looks like someone skipped leg day at the gym.

ABizzel13730d ago

He's just going through puberty, you know the body grows in mysterious was during that time.

UltimateMaster3730d ago

That weight stress on those weak legs...
Makes me wonder how he can run fast.

dedicatedtogamers3730d ago (Edited 3730d ago )

I can't get over Hipster Sonic and Yo Yo Dude Knuckles.

SEGA, how far you've fallen. At least the deviantart people will have to re-draw everything. Wait...not sure if that's good. :/

WiiUsauce3730d ago

As a long time Sonic fan, I like the new designs. plus Sega already confirmed Sonic Boon is not replacing the main series of games.

KonsoruMasuta3731d ago (Edited 3731d ago )

I hope they bring Shadow into the new series. He doesn't get any love from Sega anymore.

On another note, Sonic and Knuckles look weird.

sonic9893731d ago

AMY doesnt belong to this group
its SONIC TAILS and KNUCKLES
AMY should be out and do... well dunno other stuff .
why because we know what will amy do she is already annoying let alone being a part of the same team that sonic is in .
anyways by 2015 when sonic hits the PS4 everything should be sorted out by that date

Loadedklip3731d ago

They probably just want that FOURTH player and a female character.

sonic9893731d ago

it makes sense what you said .
at least am not affected by it until 2015 when the PS4 or any other sony console gets a SONIC GAME

KonsoruMasuta3730d ago (Edited 3730d ago )

The 2015 rumor was incorrect. The first game that's based on this new series is a Nintendo exclusive.

sonic9893730d ago (Edited 3730d ago )

this is the final game in the deal sonic is free after that so it doesnt need a rocket scientist to figure that sonic will go to other consoles after this game is out

KonsoruMasuta3730d ago (Edited 3730d ago )

"this is the final game in the deal sonic is free after that so it doesnt need a rocket scientist to figure that sonic will go to other consoles after this game is out"

Of course. But SEGA already confirmed the 2015 leak was fake.

Edit:

To the disagree: http://www.escapistmagazine...

From the article linked above. "Update: It looks like Nuremberg got their facts wrong, Sega has officially come out and denied the existence of a next-gen Sonic title for 2015 on the official Sega forums"

wonderfulmonkeyman3730d ago (Edited 3730d ago )

I almost agreed with your post, but then you started saying everything would be fixed when Sonic hits the PS4.
That makes it sound like you're just hating on it because it's on the Wii U.
I don't listen to people who bash a game due to the system it's on, no matter what other reasons they have to bash it, or how valid those other reasons are.
That's too narrow-minded.

sonic9893730d ago

well i am not a nintendo fan at all
but before i say that i must tell you that i love Sonic to the core and to see what happened to him till this date is really painful .
i want sonic to benifit from the PS4 and xbox install base because that would equal more units sold .
its good that you agreed on the AMY part because any sane sonic fan would say the same .

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3730d ago

@sonic989
Sonic Boom isn't a main game. It a new series exclusive on Nintendo. Just like Advance GBA games, Rush DS games Story Book Wii games.
Sonic Colors and Lost World being connected. Lost World sequel will be Nintendo exclusive.

"but before i say that i must tell you that i love Sonic to the core and to see what happened to him till this date is really painful .

What exactly says the PS4/X1 will make the sonic franchise suddenly so great?

What guarantees PS4/X1 will sell more copies?

The reason Sega goes a lot with Nintendo is because their Sonic games on the Wii sold enough to turn them a profit.

I don't get where you got this delusion from that the PS4/X1 will sell more copies ( which in no way even indicates it's a good sonic game, something you are complaining about)

sonic9893730d ago (Edited 3730d ago )

simple math
3 systems > 1 system .
and believe me when i say that 80k or so is a very poor number to stay exclusive thats nintendo deal for you .
it will sell more ignoring your fan base isnt the correct thing to do and of course not everyone went to nintendo .
i didnt say ps4 will make it better what i meant is that by the time sonic games return to sony consoles that none sense ( redesign ) wont exist anymore at least in the games developed by sonic team do you get it now or should i explain more .
i want the sonic design that i like whether the game is good or bad thats not an issue for me just bring him back .

ChickeyCantor3730d ago

"i didnt say ps4 will make it better what i meant is that by the time sonic games return to sony consoles that none sense ( redesign ) wont exist anymore at least in the games developed by sonic team do you get it now or should i explain more . "

No please, say no more. You're making less and less sense. You complain about how the games have been in a dip. Basically saying they aren't on par with the originals. Yet you say Sonic team will go back to their standard design if they develop it for the PS4/x1...even though they have been doing mediocre at best (Sonic generation was the ONLY one that came close to the originals ).

You complain their games have been bad over the years but want them to do exactly that?

Wut?

Sonic The Hedgehog: 6 Classic Sonics We'd Love to See in The Movie's Redesign

Here are some classic Sonic designs that could replace the controversial original debuted in Paramount's latest trailer.

SegaGamer1818d ago (Edited 1818d ago )

Just scrap the whole thing. Nobody wants a Sonic movie, especially the fans. Hollywood rarely gets game movies right.

PhoenixUp1818d ago

How can any studio executive look at the time tested and proven Sonic designs over the years and come up with that monstrosity

Just look how how the Detective Pikachu movie successfully adapts so many of Pokémon to the big screen to mostly everyone’s visual pleasure.

Why would you deviate from that? The blueprint is already in front of you!

jaymacx1818d ago

This is why it is important that a movie maker form their vision around the source material instead of having the source material conform to a movie maker’s vision. Hollywood usually does the later unfortunately.

FlyingFoxy1818d ago

Eh, people are going to find a way to bash it IMDB style no matter what. I personally rarely pay attention to those kind of sites since taste differs anyways.

chris2351818d ago

the only people who are goin towatch this is toddlers with their parents. no need to get too elaborated about this project.

Sonic Boom series: Not a Total Failure

The Sonic Boom series get a lot of flack from the Sonic and gaming community at large. And in a lot of ways that's very much earned. But not all is bad when it comes to Sonic Boom games if you're willing to step around (or forgive) Rise of Lyric.

The tv show is the best thing to come out of this spinoff franchise

lellkay2431d ago

The TV show is so good, way better than it has any business being.

Sonic Boom Can Finally Die

The Sonic Boom games have all been bad. Some gave Fire & Ice a shot, hoping for a revival, but things haven't changed.

I hope Sega stops producing Sonic Boom games. The TV show is great though

-Foxtrot2761d ago

The TV series is just as bad

You want something to die for good...you got to get rid of everything.

XisThatKid2761d ago

I'm into some pretty dumb shows but Sonic Boom is certain garage. There way to comedic relationship with Robotnik and Sonic friends is a deal breaker for me off the jump despite everything else wrong with this abomination.

SegaGamer2761d ago

The show is awful too. Everything surrounding Sonic Boom is just not what Sonic is. The Cartoon, the games, the voice actors, the character designs, it's all terrible.

wonderfulmonkeyman2761d ago

Knuckles should never have skipped leg day at the gym...
