“Sonic Boom” Could be the Reboot the Blue Blur Sorely Needs

I know, that may be a tough headline to read for people familiar with the “Sonic cycle,” but I sincerely think things are going to be different this time around.

The fact Sanzaru are developing the 3DS version gives me a bit more confidence than usual as they made Sly 4 which is awesome.

Cant remember who is doing to Wii U game but still a western studio.

linkenski4130d ago

Sanzaru is a good developer but Sly 4 wasn't original enough and it even felt dumbed down in comparison to Sly 3 and Sly 2 in a lot of areas where elements were retained.

They know how to handle source material well enough so that Sega probably opted them in for this project.

This game isn't even a reboot. Its just a new spin-off series based off an upcoming CG cartoon. There will still be other Sonic games that aren't part of Sonic Boom. SEGA specified this but people still keep taking it out of context.

Title is rubbish.

linkenski4130d ago

In a sense it is because Sega clearly wants this to be the future of Sonic if possible in the west, even if he will get more Japan-made 'Modern-Sonic' titles in 2015 and onwards.

If Boom is successful I'm pretty sure they're not just gonna call it a day and not make more of it.

This spin-off's future will be determined on how well it sells. Wouldn't it be in Sega's best interest to continue a series that is enjoyed and purchased by consumers? If Sonic Boom becomes more profitable than Japanese-developed Sonic games, I wouldn't be surprised if Sega invested more resources into establishing it as something more than a spin-off.

Quite frankly, I'm more excited about Sonic Boom than another Japanese-developed Sonic game. At least Sonic Boom is something new and in the hands of a new developer with a rather good pedigree.

I hope they let Kenichi Tokoi or alike make the soundtrack even if this is a "western-made Sonic"

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.

SegaGamer2223d ago (Edited 2223d ago )

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

PhoenixUp2223d 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!

jaymacx2223d 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.

FlyingFoxy2223d 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.

chris2352223d 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

lellkay2836d 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

-Foxtrot3166d ago

The TV series is just as bad

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

XisThatKid3166d 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.

SegaGamer3166d 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.

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