This is an awful screenshot. Looks like a beta prototype shot.

Am I hearing right that the game is done by some former Jak and Daxster developers?
Anyway, at least it's not Sonic Team. It makes it more like a licensed spinoff rather than Sega Sonic. Remember folks, Sonic Boom is not replacing official Sega Sonic.
Based on the graphical quality in that video, it looks like a ps4 and xb1 version of the game might have been planned at one point. There is a very noticeable downgrade in the trailer sega released.Holy crap. That is totally Sonic Boom!

With this, the 3-game deal with Sega expires and they can release Sonic for any platform they desire.
That's why Sonic Team is working on Sonic for next gen, and why Sonic Boom is getting outsourced.
Making alot of assumptions there aren't ya.
So incase anyone is interested, concept art via the SEGA Blog:

Lower right Sonic. You can not resist his wiles.
Two years in development? Well how big is BRB, anyway?
Picture of the team they posted to day on their Twitter:
I count between 60 and 70 people.
"Check this out, a secret ruin"
No way... dude. Seriously? Whats up with those one liners. Gamer's aint dumb that they need to be explained what everything is. We can see that in 2 sec.
I doubt that's it. For one, when signing an exclusivity deal you don't just sign for a number of games, but for specific titles. Sega isn't suddenly putting together an outsourced Sonic game quickly in order to get over with the deal; this is what has been planned from the beginning.
Also, this game seems to have been in development for quite some while already. At the beginning of this CryEngine 3 show-reel from last March you see footage from a Red Button Entertainment game that quite clearly seems to be Sonic Boom.

The reason Sonic Team is not developing this is likely a different one: The whole Sonic Boom brand is targeted at kids from the US/Europe and I assume that they are outsourcing the game with the hopes that a western studio is culturally better in line with the taste of today's kids. It's probably also easier to cooperate with the animation studio this way.
Doesn't even look close though. Based on what they are saying about the game with it being more open and everything, it sounds like it would be better with ps4 and xb1 level tech. Whatever though, we'll see what sonic looks like on the ps4 next year.When something is prototyped on a high end PC, it's not going to end up with the same results on a Wii U (or a PS4, for that matter).
Cool, that makes more sense.Picture of the team they posted to day on their Twitter:
Someone gotta shop good ol Poochie into this pick
I counted ~62 people.
yes 100% CryEngine is 30 FPS (not 60 FPS on any console (so far)).
Let me reiterate. CryEngine is build to run 30 FPS on Xbox/PS3. It is definately super unlikely it will perform 60 FPS on Wii U all out of the sudden.
The Wii U game is built on Crytek's CryEngine 3, but Rafei was coy on what that means for the game's framerate or resolution.
"I think we're revealing that soon, so I'm going to hold off on that," he says.
Also, what does the 3DS game look like? I need to know that information.
Knuckles would work best as an African-Aztec outdoorsman who rap-speaks like Muhammad Ali, but I'll never get that lucky.
Lost World will be seen as a noble failure if so.Getting huge Jak & Daxter vibes of this game, with some Sonic Heroes thrown in. Watch this game end up being a lot better then Lost World.

That would work too.
Watching the HD trailer and getting used to the new character design I think this has the potential to be a good game. Is this going to have a 4 players co-op?
This thread is longer than Ground Zeroes, even if no one posts anymore.
Snake less popular than Sonic todayThis thread is longer than Ground Zeroes, even if no one posts anymore.
Eeeeeh... I like it. Will watch the series and get the game on 3DS. I'll never buy a Wii U.

Okay I'm pretty sure it's 64. If we assume a few people couldn't make it to the picture it should be about 70 people working on the game there.
