Hating on your own products, despite how obviously trash they may be, does not a good PR person make.

Its hilarious, but I doubt he or she will be allowed to continue for long.

You say that as if Sonic games could get more hate than they do.

The bigger risk is that at some point he says something that's (probably unintentionally) offensive to someone either in the company or the general public. Most PR people aren't actually tone-deaf or clueless, it's just an affectation they take on as a result of sanitizing everything they say for absolute safety.

As long as you can watch your step and avoid causing a huge mess, there's nothing wrong with self-aware PR. It's just much harder to do.

This is the most excited I've been about something related to Sonic in years.

Platy · Jun 11, 2015

As edgy as sonic xD

Oh man this is too good.

I laughed. The person behind it really seems to be having fun with the role.

I don't get Jim Sterling's one. What exactly happened?

Thats nothing, if he wanted to scare people , he would have posted the final level in sonic 06.

JigglesBunny · Jun 11, 2015

This is absolute gold.

Fury451 · Jun 11, 2015

This is pretty funny actually.

Expected try hard corporate PR written by someone that hasn't interacted with a younger person since 1994.

Pleasantly amused.

Elfforkusu · Jun 11, 2015

Stellar. This is what twitter PR accounts should be!

End of the world wasn't that bad. It was much much worse somehow...

Imm0rt4l · Jun 11, 2015

I like that they can make fun of themselves. But it's still sad. This is like conceding, "yeah I ain't shit". Which is great, but gives no hope for good sonic games. Now that I think about it there has been no hope for a long time, so bring on the self deprecating humor. Maybe Kevin hart should voice sonic in the future heh.

lazyproblems · Jun 11, 2015

Amazing, this is too good.

No yeah, this is great. I guess if the brand is turning into a joke might as well go along with it.

I don't understand this logic. Acknowledging failure is fundamental to addressing deficiencies and general self-improvement. I'm far more worried when a studio reacts to criticism with an answer along the lines of, "Sonic Boom sold {x} number of copies, making it one of the most successful titles in [y] month for the Wii-U!" or similar, because I'm left questioning whether or not they even understand that they fucked up.

rokkerkory · Jun 11, 2015

This is more entertainment than the games

Ha ha! This one was totally evil. Had to get a second person to help me get through this by repeatedly jumping on the damn thing.

Takamura-San · Jun 11, 2015

I have to admit this is the best thing that has come out of the existence of sonic.

themagicalkitsune · Jun 11, 2015

In before "I had more fun watching the Sonic tweets than playing any Sonic game."

^ Oh, late I guess.

The Real Abed · Jun 11, 2015

FleetingFlowAir · Jun 11, 2015

Is that why I've been seeing this image a lot? Or what seems to be a lot, at least.

I have never gotten this much enjoyment from anything sonic related before. This man/woman is a godsend.
