Gamer Headlines writes: Well, that’s hardly a glowing endorsement for the upcoming Wii U and 3DS exclusive Sonic Boom is it? In a recent Gamespot interview with Bob Rafei at developers Big Red Button, he talked about when the head of Team Sonic in Japan Takashi Iizuka, visited the studio to check on the team’s progress with the new Sonic Boom game.
But there are no plans for it at the moment.
yes please, especially 2, its sooo fking good.
but maybe rework the chaos emerald mini games. they sre ridiculously and unnecessary difficult
I'd only ever want to see another "Sonic Origins" like collection again until they put these games and others on them.
I’m surprised they haven’t done this yet. It’s easy money. They should also include the Sonic game from the Neo Geo Pocket Color. That was pretty good from what I remember.
Exclusive: Ohshima & Iizuka unveil Sonic Superstars secrets. From classic ties to new gameplay dynamics.
Sonic Superstars is an exciting return to the Blue Blur's 2D origins, but its new art style exists because its developers don't think the classic pixel art approach will be "viable" in future.
Speaking to GamesRadar+ at Gamescom 2023, Sonic Team head and Sonic Superstars producer Takashi Iizuka discussed (via a translator) the importance of having both 2D Sonic games, like Superstars, and 3D titles like last year's Sonic Frontiers.
This might be a good game but I certainly like the pixel style Shantae games, like the newest one that's being worked on again. I don't agree that it won't be viable in future. There are also AI pixel art generators to convert your images to pixel art style which I'm guessing will get even better soon.
These kind of comments and not doing Mania 2...it just feels like they are kind of hurt a team who did fan made games managed to make a better Sonic game than them.
Well yeah , pixel art/games is already an artistic choice and not the norm. I'm sure in 10 more years it will be considered a gimmick or some nostalgic throwback which it usually always is
if team sonic would get their Sonic 3D games right for a change, we wouldnt be asking for the 2D styled games.
They need to get their 3d Sonic games right. And Sonic Frontiers was an excellent step in that direction. However, they shouldn't abandon 2d games either. We can have both. Same as Mario.
Takashi Iizuka being wrong about something? Surprise, surprise.
Whether its the classic Sonic pentalogy of games on the Genesis / MegaDrive.
Retro-modern like Sonic Mania, fan games, or future official 2D Sonic games, there will always be a place in this industry for 2D pixel art (or HD sprite art) gaming.
What XD that's kind of funny!
Article is misleading. The whole story is that BRB tried many different designs and wanted Sonic Team to make sure they didn't go too crazy with them. So while he hated some of the designs he obviously liked the ones that are in the game otherwise they wouldn't be in the game.
The author of the article is taking a part of a story in order to create clickbait
I sincerely hope the 3DS version rivals the Wii U version in terms of quality. I trust in the 3DS developers Sanzaru. Their last 4 games have averaged 75% positive critic ratings. I'd be pleased with that average score for Sonic Boom 3DS. But I'm hoping it can speed into the 80%+ realm
Misleading title. Where are the mods?
Well if this was the best designs of the lot then i dread to think how bad some of the other designs were.
I hate the thought of any other company designing Sonic.
