GameXplain: "Sega just announced that a brand new Sonic game called Sonic Boom is coming to the Wii U! We give our thoughts on this new game, including what we think of the redesigned characters, such as Tails, Amy, and Knuckles, how they all might play, and much more! All this and more in our Sonic Boom discussion!"
Here are some classic Sonic designs that could replace the controversial original debuted in Paramount's latest trailer.
Just scrap the whole thing. Nobody wants a Sonic movie, especially the fans. Hollywood rarely gets game movies right.
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!
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.
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.
the only people who are goin towatch this is toddlers with their parents. no need to get too elaborated about this project.
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 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
The TV series is just as bad
You want something to die for good...you got to get rid of everything.
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.
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.
This looks so awesome!

My thought is "could be worth my money".
It's not part of the main franchise[they confirmed this in a different article], so this game won't be screwing up what's already been laid out, like Sonic '06 tried to do.
The character redesign on Knuckles is a bit extreme, but it's still a work-in-progress so his design might change along the way.
Sonic's new look isn't a super huge departure; some bandages around his arms and hands and feet, a few extra spines and a scarf, nothing super flashy.
And that's a good thing.
Same for Amy and Tails.[though Amy looks like she might be a bit more flirty or she might have a bit more attitude this time around. Dunno how well that will play out but I guess we'll see.]
I like how cocky Sonic is with Eggman, glad that hasn't changed.
Overall, I'm cautiously optimistic.
This game isn't being developed by Sonic Team, and since it's not going to mess with the main canon of the Sonic franchise, it'll be easier for old-time fans to accept, as an alternate-universe tale.
I'll be keeping a close eye on it, but so far the gameplay, which seems to be a bit more open-world than I was expecting it to be, seems like it might keep me interested.
A non-linear Sonic game with co-op could be one heck of a fun ride...
After looking at a picture of the character designs for 10 minutes straight they don't bother me as much as they did when I first saw them. Sonic having blue arms looks good once you get used to it, and Tails and Amy both look good. I still hope something with Knuckles is changed because those arms are just way too big for his legs. I think this game will turn out well and I will be buying it.
On a side note I would love to see Shadow in this game especially if he was a playable character. Maybe like Rosalina was in 3D World and just have him be an unlockable character with his own move set
Once I found out Sanzaru games is developing this I became excited. For those who didn't know, Sanzaru made Sly Cooper Thieves in Time, which was an excellent game and stuck true to its roots. I am excited to see with what they'll do with this, as Sonic Team is totally lost with what to do with the Sonic franchise, this will breath new life into it.
