Well then it's a good thing the 3DS game also looks terrible:

Size matters and secret agent clank are pretty good, and lost frontier is just mediocre.
I am talking about the psp versions of course, the ps2 versions can smurf right off.

Getting a Knack feeling from this. Everything about it aside from the visuals looks like a PS2 game. Gameplay, level design, etc. I don't think it looks quite as aggressively terrible as people are making it out to be but it's definitely not something I'll play.
Whats to say that he wouldn't do a JonTron mini episode for this game?
Yeah I actually think Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank are pretty underrated, those games being good was part of why I was interested in this game in the first place. It seems like Big Red Button is comprised of devs who have worked on shittier games in addition to those though so eh.
there is believed to be some legal issues between them, so it wouldn't happen
Nah, I mean something along the lines of the Donkey Kong Country Returns & Sonic R JonTron episodes, where its just nonsensical sketches that either rip the game apart, or are just completely silly.

It's a shame because Sonic Lost World at least had potential and there was some fun to be had in the game despite being mediocre at best. This game looks so rushed and awful, I wonder how Nintendo feels about this.
Does it at least have decent music? Lost World had one of my fave tracks of recent gaming.

I give you, the new Sonic cycle. (Not mine.)
If it is, I can't imagine Nintendo being happy.

It does not. Even if a Sonic game is terrible, it usually at least has a nice soundtrack. Even Sonic 06 had some great songs. But Sonic Boom doesn't even have that. None of the songs have stuck out to me so far!
Also, this is my personal favorite Lost World song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwQQGicfI2g

We already knew the game was gonna be bad just from the redesign of the characters.
Imagine, 20 years ago, we had sonic & knuckles, a game with some the best level design in a 2d game ever to this POS.
You would imagine Sega would put some effort and release good sonic games being their big money maker...
The last Sonic game i played was generations and i only played half of it.

I like the first episode of the show and my son loved it! Will buy the game at lauch anyway.
It's not the worst show on TV. That's still Uncle Grandpa.
But it's pretty clear to see why CN kept this FAR away from their usual premieres.

That's not a Cycle. That's a vector.

Why? It looks like a broken, awful mess.

No way, that show is fun, plus it's 100% a more creative endeavor than a CG video-game tie-in.
Plus, you know, Johnny Test exists.

I'll never know if I don't try it myself.

Uncle Grandpa literally feels like everyone at that studio got super high and watched a bunch of adam sandler movies, then made characters based on the sounds they made. It is a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE show.
Sonic Boom is...at best...inoffensive. It's just completely flat.
Edit: I thought Johnny Test got cancelled. I thought it and Ben 10 both ended earlier this year.

Rumors suggest that Jon's leaving wasn't entirely chummy like his exit video might have suggested. There's nothing to back up the rumors, but it was a rather abrupt departure for Jon to make.
You grin at misery. The Dracula of NeoGAF. :3c

That's not a cycle in any form. A cycle must come back around to the start. Its just ends on a game sucking.
Also, this is the fist crappy Sonic games released in a long time.

Someone started a play through of 3DS version and the build looks much different than the demo. Actually looks fun.

I enjoyed the demo they're previewing there. Wasn't terrible at all IMO.
no man like I used to love Sonic. But it's just... I was never going to get anything out of a Sonic game designed like this from the start. At least this way we can get some entertainment from this disaster now, right?
Right?

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
At least Sonic '06 was hilariously bad.
This is just plain bad. ;_;

My problem with the demo was the exploration level was a mess. However, that level is not even in the final build. We got the E3 version as a demo.
I feel better watching the first hour. You can do 3 chapters the time it takes to even get the plot going in the Wii U version. Wii U version is a hot mess.
