A Sonic of Ice and Fire?

Did somebody made that joke already? Otherwise I claim ownership!

For the night is dark and full of terrors.

 

[Ryuukan]

Sonic Pix, a unique function within the app, will inspire fans creativity by allowing them to include Sonic and his friends in their photos.

I think we all know what Sonic fans have done with their creativity

 

[Akhe]

It's happening!!!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

As long as we get another Jeff Gerstmann Giant Bomb Quick Look out of this it will be all worth it.

 

[HUELEN10]

Didn't the first game bomb?



...out of 2 games.

And Shattered Crystal is barely above shitty.

The franchise is more than games, you don't throw away a whole pizza because one slice has a big bubble on it, take my word on that.

Sonic and friends are weak and not ready for the winter

Oh God. OH GOD.

BOUNCE PAD

Rings are cool

 

[RM8]

Kill it with fire and ice.

 

[LeleSocho]

Why?

That's why

 

[crinale]

Biggest exclusive announcement.

 

[marmoka]

The Apocalypse has began. This is the first sign it's happening. We're all gonna die!!

 

[Hopeford]

Given the game's name, this seems fitting:

 

[Korigama]

What is that horrifying thing between Sonic and Amy?

Sticks the Badger.

[Cheddahz]

hmm

Sonic Boom was really a good game and I had a blast blasting it last year (enjoyed more than Lost World). It's a shame there's not going to be a Wii U version, but hey, nothing I can do about that

Well...it depends, who's writing this game? Because I don't like Sanzaru's writers. I think they will have better gameplay (granted, there's nowhere to go but up) but I really hope the TV show writers are behind this one.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

...we're never getting Sly 5, are we?

Nope.

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

This isn't the new Sonic game I asked for.

 

[Ridley327]

Why can't BRB make a sequel to the Wii U game?

I imagine it might take a wee bit longer than a year to do a 3D platforming adventure game.

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

It looks like a mix of Sonic Rush and Sonic Colors. I think it'll be your average handheld Sonic game. It'll be playable, maybe even fun at points.

 

[maquiladora]

Ayy.....

what?!

 

[Ricky 7]

I'm guessing sales of the 3DS version must have picked up since the cartoon started airing. Even that crappy PAC-MAN game got a sequel.

 

[nictron]

 

[Xbro]

They made a sequel of this and not of F-Zero??


??????????????????????????

Because Nintendo decides this?

 

[djlr181]

Both Sonic Boom titles combined sold approximately 500,000 copies. You better believe that the vast majority of those sales were the 3DS version. The new game is a smart business decision.

Also, Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystals was a good game. It certainly had flaws and a bit too short, but it was a fine western developed Sonic title.

 

[Thabass]

Aren't Sega and Nintendo contractually scheduled to make 3 more Nintendo Sonic games? Isn't this the third one now?

 

[Principate]

From that show teaser originally posted for it, I knew it would do well.

Haha, this thread is popcorn worthy, keep up the disgust guys.

 

[Kazer]

wat. This is unexpected.

 

[HUELEN10]

I hope they put in comedy chimp.

 

[crinale]

Well to be fair 3DS version's metascore is 1.5 times higher than WiiU version, so..

 

[V-Faction]

Sonic is a pizza.

A pizza' shit.

 

[RedBoot]

#1 program in its time slot? Is it still only on at 5AM?

 

[OmegaSmash]

NOT LIKE THIS

And the comics are getting canned too.

 

[khaaan]

I believe in you Sanzaru, we'll chalk up Shattered Crystal to internal politics.

 

[Berordn]

I thought it was merely average at best? Obviously nowhere near as poor as the abomination on Wii U though.

Gives them a template to work from at least. There were some decent ideas in it, unlike the Wii U game which was largely just a trainwreck disguised as a brawler.

And the comics are getting canned too.

wait what!?

but that's my favorite part of this ill-advised multimedia venture!

 

[IlSignorCornetto]

The first one sold something like 620k it's obvious that sega want to make some money from the ip

 

[AdanVC]

Because Nintendo decides this?

A literal way to put it that they prefer giving us a sequel that nobody asked for instead of other top notch franchises we've been asking for years like a proper Sonic Adventure for example

I played the demo and thought it was the worst 2D Sonic I've ever played. It made Sonic 4 look like a masterpiece. Oh my lord the pacing.

Faith in humanity lost.

Where is PS4 sonic made by generations/colors team?

Why though? I'm actually a subscriber. Absolutely love the covers...

Last time I looked at the schedule it was 7AM in my region. Always was.

 

[Cbajd5]

7AM. And it was on later for a bit on some weekdays (11:30AM or noon or 12:30PM or whatever) with repeats but that's seemingly over now.

 

[Zubz]

I honestly thought this entire sub-franchise was doing poorly, but I guess it's just the comic and the Wii U version where everything's been catastrophic so far.

Good for SEGA, I guess! Too bad this game's just going to be tepid and mediocre, and not a lovely mess like the Wii U one.

 

[Not75Drops]

Too busy working on Sonic Runners (the phone game).

 

[DannyDanger]

It's pretty obvious what happened to the hive mind over at Sega

 

[Hot Coldman]

They need room for the Mega Man X comic that should definitely happen

 

[Tripon]

Boom is an excellent franchise, only bad thing about it is a single shitty game.

The previous Sonic Boom 3DS game was bad too.
