Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric

[Hakudamashi]

b-b-but, Naughty Dog tho :U

[Hakudamashi]

Not exactly.

[Hakudamashi]

But those games look much better than this and were on supposedly weaker hardware. Lost World looks better than this and that game was running at 60fps on the same hardware.

Lost World didn't use Cry Engine.

[Hakudamashi]

I mean, really, Lost World is nothing but flat surfaces, textures and small, condensed levels with a few different objects.

And just like Mario Kart 8, Wind Waker and Mario 3D World, you don't even notice or care about this shit when you're playing the goddamn game.

[Hakudamashi]

Maybe they shoulda used Unreal.

[Hakudamashi]

The Sonic Boom geometry also looks bad
Those are some freaky lookin rocks.
And the terrain you're interacting with is flat.

Seems like a bunch of extra effort for little pay off.

So here's a trailer I'm not sure if anyone posted. Also we have concept art for two familiar faces, one of which is seen in motion later on in the trailer.

[Hakudamashi]

Why didn't he jump?

[Hakudamashi]

You think he has those kinds of reflexes? It's not like he's the fastest thing alive, you know.

I'm just going off of what I knew of Sonic pre-colours
But then I remember we have new writers, so I just gotta accept the Sonic I knew is long gone.

[Hakudamashi]

French Sonic didn't get the idea to jump?

[Hakudamashi]

And not jumping out of obvious lazer beams while your friends watch.

[Hakudamashi]

If Sonic doesn't go fast, then why am I playing Sonic?
Why not play another platformer like Mario or Pac-Man?

[Hakudamashi]

Well, at least this game has drop shadows.

[BoomBeep]

Well, at least this game has drop shadows.

I laughed harder than I should've at that. XD

I'm super excited for Sonic Boom, personally. I know that some people have low expectations, but I dunno. I was a huge Crash Bandicoot fan back in the day and I feel confident in BigRedButton. :3

[Hakudamashi]

Did he just kick Shadow out of existence?
