Sonic looks kind of cool (he looks older...), but what the hell knuckles? It looks like they just copy/pasted the head from old knuckle's art and put it on a new body.
Bro, do you even lift?
what the fuck
Shoot. Guess I better start warming up to them then. Somehow this doesn't hurt as much as losing Ryan Drummond.They are planned to be.
why was this necessary.
why was this necessary.
Because of the obvious surgery they underwent.Why do they have bandages all over them? Why does Sonic have bandages over his gloves? Why do they look so utterly terrible?
I think several things are pretty clear from both the visual design and the plans of the franchise reboot:
- Sonic is now primarily a character franchise driven by merchandise and entertainment products more generally. The games are not the primary product, they're just one part of the process.
- Sonic's audience is, now more than ever, young males I would say 6-9 but maybe as old as 12. These designs are clearly reflecting that kind of aesthetic. They look like TV series characters, they look designed for action figures, and that makes sense.
