Looks really good. Lots of hate going around the various news outlets and gaf but it looks pretty good to me. Will probably buy day one.

I like the character re-designs, not so much the trailer (it wasn't nearly as well composed as Sonic Lost Worlds in my opinion). I'm apathetic of this game, it's just another Sonic game really, and Sonic games haven't been really noteworthy.

WHAT THE FUCK IS A SONIC?!

well its not whatever that blue thing is. What the hell is wrong with Knuckles too. They both look stupid.

The other two characters don't look too bad though.

This is a little strange, but honestly the game looks....alright...I guess? Does Sonic really need bandages over his shoes?

I'm calling it now. I'm a big fan of sonic, have been since i was a little kid. but this... :X :X :X :X :X
I think sonic 06 is better than what i'm seeing now. I don't care if they are targeting the western world, but don't alienate your fans while your doing it.
edit: I just watched the trailer... :X :X :X :X :X what was wrong with the hedgehog engine? it was one of my favorite engines in this generation... using this.... no. no. Sonic games have had the ability to make the in game cg look just as good as the cutscenes and art for a long time now, since unleashed. Why go away from that engine?

Man...the art style in the new game is really uninspired, and the graphics are garbage.

You should read this to explain why sega did this... but it's still dumb to me.

What I think the problem alot of people have with Knuckles is the body doesn't fit the head. Or at least looks awkward placed?..

It is to keep his shoes on cause he goes so fast I suppose.

Hours later, I returned to the image of the characters. I'm really not a fan. At all. I wanted to like them, I really did. In fact, I had a really cool image of kunckles in mind prior to seeing the silhouette filled in. Unfortunately, my expectations weren't met. We'll see how the game does though.

I don't really have a problem with any of this. The design is fine, the game looks okay as of right now, and so on. I laugh at all the hate on everything already when the game's not even out yet (not saying that that's what everyone in this thread is doing, just kind of a general statement).

I can't say I am a fan of the new style but as the same time having someone else take a crack at sonic can't be a bad thing. At this point SEGA has proven they can't do a sonic game anymore.

@Thanous - thanks!

Also I've noticed the following. Sonic's arms are now blue - ok that's fine and good. Tails and Knuckles have always had colored arms. Why then, are Amy's arms still flesh colored? I'm nitpicking, yes I understand but it's still slightly annoying :P .

I will say this though. It's been confirmed that this game (or show for that matter) is not getting a Japanese release. The character designs, and design of the game are catering to a Western audience. I think we can rest easy knowing the designs aren't necessarily here to stay. Just an outsourced game.

Minus Knuckle's steroid addiction and THE scarf, I'm digging the overall style, and Tails and Amy look really well designed. Sonic has always been more popular in the west than JP, I can see why they would want to experiment with a western developer. And BRB have a pretty fantastic pedigree behind a lot of the team there. I'm excited to see some REAL gameplay, it's obviously something they have a lot of faith in if it's getting a TV series too.

Update: Sonic Boom will not be released in Japan, and the Japanese Sonic Team are working on titles in parallel with the new western developers.

While Sonic Boom and its revamped characters are being designed by Big Red Button and Sanzaru for Wii U and 3DS respectively, veteran Sonic Team member Takashi Iizuka confirmed to Polygon that there were other titles in development.

It's been confirmed that the redesigned characters of Boom are not going to replace the classic images of the characters but will rather exist in parallel, and that the scarves on the characters are because veteran Naughty Dog developers are involved in the project.


This bit of information is worth keeping in mind. Does this suggest that more traditional Sonic titles, depending on the success of this game, won't be making it stateside? [sonicwaiting] I know that's a hasty conclusion, but it's interesting nonetheless.

A game doesn't need to be out or played to dislike the artstyle :P
but it does to dislike the gameplay.


This is my reaction to the look of the characters again:
