Step one in improving Sonic the Hedgehog: 2014 edition

MMGN: Every time a new Sonic game is announced, we must inevitably discuss how to ‘fix’ Sonic. This is written into the game journalism by-laws, carved in stone by the elders and the key holders of our profession in ancient times (2003 or so), and far be it from me to disobey our sacred rules. The same things are said every time – put the focus on Sonic, make it all about speed, tighten up the controls, don’t let the game play itself for long periods of time, and make it 2D again. The various Sonic games over the years have dabbled in these solutions with varying degrees of success (Generations warmed a lot of hearts, but for my money Sonic Colours on the Wii did it better).

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.

SegaGamer2580d ago (Edited 2580d ago )

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

PhoenixUp2580d 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!

jaymacx2580d 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.

FlyingFoxy2580d 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.

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

The TV show is so good, way better than it has any business being.

I hope Sega stops producing Sonic Boom games. The TV show is great though

-Foxtrot3523d ago

The TV series is just as bad

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

XisThatKid3523d 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.

SegaGamer3523d 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...
