Sonic Boom Preview: Easily The Worst Game Of E3 | Slimgamer

Slimgamer writes:
"It's my own fault for being excited for a new Sonic game. After two full days playing more videogames than I can count and seeing even more guided demos and videos, one game in particular stood out to me far more than the rest - but for all the wrong reasons. That game, of course, is Sonic Boom and if this is seriously the best Sega can do with Sonic then they may as well not even bother."

When do we get a good sonic game? :(

nidhogg4020d ago

Seriously, they did all kinds of Sonic games that may appeal to fans. Even Sonic 06 had those silly characters with Final Fantasy like models. Almost all "next-gen" Sonic games were bad except for a handful. They should try a Sonic horror game next and see how that fares lol.

I actually enjoyed Unleashed on my PS3, Colors on my Wii, and Generations was fun as well. I haven't bought lost world though. I find I enjoy these games a lot more a year after their release for half the $ lol. But I do find them fun when I get them. Give them a little credit though, They're trying something a little new with this one as an action RPG kind of game rather than an all out run all the time kind of game. I mean isn't that what Sonic adventure was? It was a runner sometimes and action RPG the rest. Perhaps some are being too harsh.

Looking at the wii u version it seems like the devs didnt know what to do with it, itd got the fast running, weird brawl sectons, platforming etc. It should have focused on one aspect and expanded. Ratchet and clank all 4 one isnt the best ratchet but they did it right

eworthington04020d ago

Wasnt it announces pretty recently and now it's about ready for release?
The first trailer was riddled with dubstep crap, then the terrible dialogue...
I had mid-high hope for this game initially.

sonic9894020d ago

and people disagreed with me when i told them this game is mediocre .
it was clear so clear and didnt need a rocket scientist to figure it out .
i am a sonic fan for 20 years now yes very long time .
i hope they ( sega ) can manage to turn things around but personally i didnt like it and honestly this the first time i complain about a Sonic game even though i hated the fact that its a nintendo exclusive but i always try to be objective with my observations .
all the best in future Sega hopefully you will turn it around and make something special .

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.

SegaGamer2233d ago (Edited 2233d ago )

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

PhoenixUp2233d 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!

jaymacx2233d 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.

FlyingFoxy2233d 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.

chris2352233d 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

lellkay2846d 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

-Foxtrot3177d ago

The TV series is just as bad

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

XisThatKid3177d 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.

SegaGamer3177d 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.

wonderfulmonkeyman3177d ago

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