Trailer

I guess this is the third Nintendo-exclusive Sonic game and it's based on the new cartoon. It's not being developed by Sonic Team but it isn't being developed by Dimps either. Looks like Sonic Heroes 2 and it includes the fugly new character designs. Thoughts? I think it looks weird.

So today; SEGA held a conference which would basically cover the future of their esteemed, Sonic the Hedgehog franchise going forward.

Indeed; the series has seen some twists and turns through the near 23 years it's been in existence. After a rough run through most of the 2000s; 2010-onward ~ has been a remarkable rise back to fame for the trouble-filled life of Sonic. Now, SEGA has decided to once again re-invent the series on a major scale - something that we haven't seen from since 2008's Sonic Unleashed.

Meet - SONIC BOOM.

Coupled with a new animated series; Sonic Boom is the third game in the exlcusive, three-game deal that SEGA has with Nintendo. This final game, will mark the beginning of a new era for Sonic. One should also note, that this isn't even being developed by Sonic Team; making it the first 3D, Action-Adventure Platformer Sonic game to ever be developed, outside of SEGA's hands. It's being developed by BigRedButton Entertainment - the creators of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time

This - is gonna be interesting.

I'm so glad this isn't permanent.

Well in that case, I'm all for this.
I'm liking the redesigns(Although I still question wtf is up with the bandages), and the game looks cools to me.

AND I CAN FINALLY FLY AS TAILS AGAIN HOLY SHIT!!!!

I love the new amy

It's also not developed by Sonic Team.
Is that why it looks so good?

Also the first Wii U Game with a presentation that fits a 'next-gen' system.
Look at those crisp shadows and that lightning

[Hakudamashi]

I just pray they don't make Amy "That strong independent woman who don't need no man", nor some seductive piece of meat. Don't jump from one extreme to another please.

Really? I think they made Amy look a bit slutty, what with her seductive eyes. I thought she was supposed to be the innocent one.

And apparently the game is using Cryengine 3. And I dunno, this screenshot looks really bad:

Derp Tails, ready to derp.

We've had crisp shadows and lighting ever since launch, dunno where you've been all this time.

I like the redesign for Knuckles better than i thought i would

[Shadow84786]

So far so good, although it is disappointing that the chaos emeralds won't be on the game.
