It looks like they're wearing uncomfortably high waisted pants.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

If the reboot permanently kills of Shadow, Rouge and all the characters that came after then I'm cool with it.

LOL as if.

Shadow has his own merch and toys.

 

[Jazzem]

Knuckles ;_;

The rest I think are alright bandages aside, but goddamn...

 

[DryEyeRelief]

I can settle for Rouge being gone

thank you sega

a bright future awaits you, sanic

 

[massoluk]

Man, Knuckle really spent a lot of time in the gym.

 

[C4Lukins]

Well that does it. Really just a scarf is all it took to finish off my interest in the series. Who knew?

Oh and Knuckles looks like a complete child rapist, which I also find unappealling.

 

[doctorblurg]

Knuckles still missing out on leg day.

.

 

[Rezae]

Sonic and Knuckles both naked. They have no shame.

 

[MilkyOctave]

Both Tails and Amy look fine to me. Tails looks like what a teenager version of him would look alike. The sports tape looks a bit weird on both Sonic and Knuckles. I wonder if that scarf Sonic is wearing is somehow related to the plot...

 

[TheOGB]

I can settle for Rouge being gone

Don't be silly, that'll be the episode where Knuckles learns how to love

 

[leakey]

no no no no no LORD NO

 

[Danthrax]

I would love purple shoes and green eyes, as long as he loses the blue arms.

You and the green eyes! LoL. At least you agree that the blue arms are terrible.

 

[Aostia]

knuckles is horrible, sonic is great

thank you sega

[Goldmund]

Wait, where's the rest of the gang? Busy applying coolness?

 

[DarkKyo]

I mean... they're not horrible... less tape would be a huge improvement as it just looks like it's being used as filler in the designs. I actually like the new Tails design... seems more expressive/less kiddy, which is cool.

Pretty weird stuff.

 

[mrmickfran]

MAKE WAY FOR THE CHAOTIX SON

WHY THE FUCK AM I CONNECTED TO THE BEEJEEZUS!?!

 

[thelatestmodel]

What. The fuck.

Who is this supposed to appeal to? What were they going for here? Who approved this?

Jesus. My brain hurts.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

There are 3 constants in life:

Death
Taxes
Sonic characters looking dumb as fuck

 

[graywolf323]

Sonic, Tails and Amy look fine

wtf did they do to Knuckles though?

 

[HUELEN10]

I wonder what Sammy's take on this whole thing will be...

 

[RobFox64tm]

Exactly what I was thinking. It looks fun and inviting to kids. It's like people forget it is a children's franchise.


Also, he runs fast. That's his thing. Why complain that he has long legs?

So is Mario, but you better believe the backlash would be immense if Nintendo tried to change those games in the same way. This abortion of a concept is just a big fuck you to Sonic fans who like series for the right reasons. Sonic could've just been cool just for being a character in a series of awesome games, like Mario is, but instead Sega wants to gut this trout for all it's worth. This... this just sucks. R.I.P. sweet hedgehog.

 

[fabricated backlash]

When trying too hard goes wrong.

 

[AColdDay]

Man, I miss the classic Sonic 1/2 design.

Says the person wearing a sonic the hedgehog headpiece, admit it, you're biased enough to accept any change they make!

Spoiler

jk

 

[RetroDLC]

Tails doing a Seinfeld. *bass*

 

[Jel44]

For some reason I came in here expecting Knuckles to have dreadlocks.

If Sonic fans were providing the kind of financial return they wanted, they wouldn't be rebooting Sonic.

Also you don't get to tell other people they don't like things for the right reasons.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

am I crazy?? I don't think it looks that bad. Its fucking Sonic not some holy grail. Sonic has been shit for years with a few gems in his career. He still looks like Sonic.

BFD.

 

[SegaShack]

Has the video been posted to youtube yet? Having issues loading the vid on mobile.

Edit: Found one here.

Thank you! It looks like Sonic Heroes 2.

 

[Shion]

I just realized...90s Sonic is what was "cool" defined by kids in the 90s...00s Sonic was what was "cool" to kids in the 00s...and now we have what is cool for kids in th 10s

Guys its a kids game designed for kids. Why would they care what a 20 something year old has to say about it? MAKE HIM COOL LIKE IN THE 90s....he wasnt cool in the 90s, you were 6-12 what you thought was cool was not cool.....same thing today....hes made for a different generation of kids

There's good art and there's bad art. This is an example of bad art.

Knuckles, in particular, is hideous (Tails looks very nice, though).

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Wait, where's the rest of the gang? Busy applying coolness?

Generating hype to the reveal of Team Dark and/or Team Chaotix and the end of the first season.

 

[Acrylic7]

Possible the worst way to start off my day.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Thank god I can relive the glory days.

 

[Roxas]

Well at least the Sonic Cycle has started and ended pretty much instantly this time.

 

[TwoDurans]

Knuckles looks like he's sucking in his gut... there's a lady present.

 

[FireVoa]

Knuckles definitely lifts now!

 

[RobFox64tm]

If Sonic fans were providing the kind of financial return they wanted, they wouldn't be rebooting Sonic.

Also you don't get to tell other people they don't like things for the right reasons.

If Sega was providing the kind of Sonic games those fans wanted in the first place, they wouldn't need to reboot Sonic, period. They've been fucking these games up for over a decade now.

 

[Alx]

I'm mostly fine with it, except for the (probably) pointless bandages.

 

[Stumpokapow]

ok

 

[Acrylic7]

And what the fuck is up with all the tape?
This some kind of Naruto Manga shit?

 

[ec0ec0]

Sonic "personality" (if that makes sense) has been lost with this last redesing...

Also, when i look at "amy" now, its like if i am looking at the oposite of what she was.

I hat* this. Nintendo help us.

 

[Professor Beef]

I...surprisingly don't mind this.

EDIT: I mean in motion Sonic's legs look fuckin' weird, but as a whole this seems pretty inoffensive.

 

[SegaShack]

I actually like Sonic's design, it's about time they retired the Sonic Adventure look. Only one I dont like is knuckles

 

[criesofthepast]

I just busted out laughing in the library with everyone looking at me now. Holy shit Knuckles started a lifting regimine and Sonic with the hipster scarf. :lol

 

[Dragon1893]

Like I said in my previous post I like the concept art for everyone except knuckles but after watching the trailer they didn't translate well into the game.
The game itself seems mediocre going by the trailer, I wish they'd stick to the 2D levels they did for generations.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

What kind of games do Sonic fans want?

 

[Dimentionalist]

Those are terrible. Knuckles got buff. Perhaps Nintendo should use him as the poster child for their upcoming QOL products?
