Lol bust! The gameplay & story would have to be AMAZING! That's prolly not gonna happen either... I can only imagine how much japan is laughing @ Nathan drake sonic, Marcus fenix knuckles, & the other two who look surprisingly better than them.. It's only for Nintendo so I doubt it's going to be a smash hit or it'd be on all current gen consoles... Lost world anyone?

iplay1up24464d ago

Lost World is a great game, the reviews are mixed not all bad. I have seen it rated 8.5/10. The bad reviews are often times due to frustration, because the game is quite tricky in spots, and unforgiving.

If you look at the team Working on Boom, they are a Top Notch crew. I doubt they would want their names on the credits of a POS.

-Foxtrot4464d ago (Edited 4464d ago )

The point is though they made Lost Worlds like it was going to be amazing and in the end it fell flat on it's face, mostly because it ended up being disappointing to what the marketing lead us to believe.

I think when it comes to Sonic games, don't get sucked into the trailers because they are probably not going to be as good as the actual game.

Sonic Boom looks no different...the reason it looks so new and "interesting" is because it's using a better engine and it's next gen.

I really don't see why they didn't put the Cryengine 3 to better use and make Sonic Adventure 3.

@-Foxtrot It's being made by different devs who have a good resume of games they've worked on, instead of just presuming it won't be good just wait and see.

Trailers are suppose to make the game look good, that goes for pretty much any game.

"It's being made by different devs who have a good resume of games they've worked on"

Don't use the ND excuse, it's like one or two people from ND. They didn't make up the entire studio, ND make good games because of their teamwork and what they crafted as a studio as a whole.

If each member of ND went to different studios for example then it doesn't mean the studios games are going to be automatically as good as The Last of Us or Uncharted because of that one ND memeber. One of them could go to Slant Six and they would still be a terrible studio.

Vegamyster4464d ago

Then ignore the game lol, don't go to every page related to it and downplay it without even trying it.

@Vegamyster

It's a commenting site which allows both sides of opinions on ANYTHING

Don't tell someone what to do

I can do whatever I want.

Honestly you only WANT it to be good and you ignore the fact that it's most likely going to be average at best.

Denial...total denial.

"It's a commenting site which allows both sides of opinions on ANYTHING"

Sure, but you're acting like your opinions are facts.

"Don't tell someone what to do"

Isn't that what you're doing?

"Honestly you only WANT it to be good and you ignore the fact that it's most likely going to be average at best. "

Well why would i WANT it to be bad? WE have no reason to like or dislike based on a short trailer. I'm not jumping to conclusions, it's not "denial" lol.

Honestly it will probably be good. One of the leads worked at Naughty Dog and was lead on Jak and Daxter, not to mention BRB have been working very closely with Sonic Team for the past two years. The other lead was working on the cancelled Sonic Xtreme. Sure Knuckles is kinda meh but there isn't anything wrong with the other characters and the minute of footage looked like it was taking a different take on the Adventure games but freshening it up to actually work well. If the story is good or not is yet to be decided but seeing as the lead from Jak and Dexter is on it i don't have a doubt.

Plus Lost Worlds was an awesome game, fun and entertaining and a game doesn't need to be on all consoles to be a 'smash hit'. Look at Uncharted, smash hit one system. Halo, Zelda, Mario Kart, Killzone...all found on their respective owning systems.

Seems like most Sonic 'fans' like to just bash every entry before doing research or seeing more than a minute of footage. Sure there have been more bad than good sonics but Sonic has been really making a turn around.

linkenski4463d ago

There is one or two big "BUT"s however. BigRedButton only consist of 12 people, granted, they're veterans with great experience in making games, not to mention how indie developers consisting of 4 people have made stuff like "No Man's Sky".

Another thing is that BRB Entertainment has worked "closely with Sonic Team" for this title, and I believe that can both be detrimental as it can be productive. Sonic Team probably hit bullseye as many times as they completely missed the dart bulletin, if you catch my drift here.

But it could be truly good, no doubt. I'm excited :D

Yeah no matter how much you pretend Sonic is NEVER going to make a come back.Moat people don't even care any more if a Sonic game will be good.There are many more bad Sonic games in ratio to good ones and most people's opinion is that he should have been put out to pasture a long time ago.So except for the people who still cling to Sonic the Hedgehog most people don't care.Every Sonic game that comes out people keep trying to say 'this is the one' and it usually either turns out to be crap, average or divided among critics if it is any good. Sega needs to stop milking Sonic,stand back up and make the kind of 'out of the box' games they used to that made them popular.

isarai4464d ago

I think too many people are taking this the wrong way, this is not meant to be the next big installment in the sonic franchise, it's just a game made by an external studio Sega is allowing to make to go alongside the show.

linkenski4463d ago

I like how your comment got a disagree even though it's a fact.

Ck1x4464d ago

I know people are probably bummed out that this game isn't coming to their system of choice, but I think this will most likely be a big deal and primarily because of the exposure it will receive from the cartoon tie in. Sonic has never really sold well on any platforms other than Nintendo and Sega's own of course, so I'm not so sure why people are so quick to call this a bust so quickly

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.

SegaGamer2554d ago (Edited 2554d ago )

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

PhoenixUp2554d 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!

jaymacx2554d 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.

FlyingFoxy2554d 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.

chris2352554d 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

lellkay3167d 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

-Foxtrot3498d ago

The TV series is just as bad

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

XisThatKid3498d 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.

SegaGamer3497d 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.

wonderfulmonkeyman3498d ago

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