While I wasn't a fan of the other characters designs I actually REALLY like Eggmans new design! :D

nope1114060d ago

Not bad but he doesn't resemble an egg anymore lol.

Becuzisaid4060d ago

Good maybe they can start calling him Robotnik again.

cr33ping_death4060d ago

Yeah.....wasnt a fan of "Eggman" i grew up knowing him as Dr. Robotnik

Smashbro294059d ago

He was Eggman all along dude.

FragMnTagM4060d ago

Looks good but I agree. Eggman is stupid. Robotnik sounds better and not just because of nostalgia.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory4059d ago

This only for Sonic Boom series

SaintAlpha1014059d ago

Well, he does, just unlike his previous design, he's now an upside down egg, with the larger part at the top and the smaller at the bottom.

I only liked the Sonic characters in the 90s where-as now, they are damn right ugly, like Sonic, a Green eyed Teenager.

Originals are better.

dcj05244059d ago

What type off teenager looks like that? Blue, spiky, black oval nose, No neck, GIGANTIC visor eyes and eyelids. You know some weird teens.

Milesprowers4059d ago

Every teenager looks exactly like that

Wish they would stop calling him Dr Eggman he will always be Dr Robotnik

SaintAlpha1014059d ago

To be fair, he was only called Robotnik in the western versions of the older Sonic games and the western TV shows.
From 1991, he was called Dr Eggman in Japan, never donning the Robotnik surname until Sonic Adventure in Japan, but even then, SEGA officially made his name "Dr Ivo 'Eggman' Robotnik", with Eggman being his criminal alias that's commonly used and Robotnik his birth name.

I still prefer Robotnik too as his actual birth name, but Dr Eggman is a good criminal alias, like how Harvey Dent is Two-Face or Oswald Cobblepot is The Penguin.

In this universe everyone skips leg day.

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.

SegaGamer2186d ago (Edited 2186d ago )

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

PhoenixUp2186d 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!

jaymacx2186d 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.

FlyingFoxy2186d 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.

chris2352186d 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

lellkay2798d 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

-Foxtrot3129d ago

The TV series is just as bad

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

XisThatKid3129d 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.

SegaGamer3129d 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.

wonderfulmonkeyman3129d ago

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