So Uh, Sonic Boom, Anyone?

So uh, turns out that TV show announcement also entails a video game! And toys and whatnot, but that's not what we're here for. So why is this actually interesting to non-Sonic fans? Because of the developers for both the Wii U and 3DS versions. Big Red Button Entertainment, the Wii U developer, has Bob Rafei, Naughty Dog veteran. He was their first hired employee, and has worked on the Crash, Jak and Daxter, and even Uncharterd: Drake's Fortune. But the first two are the ones that matter, because this means he's worked on previous critically acclaimed platform games. Sanzaru Games, the developer of the 3DS version, recently released Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. So no, Sonic Team will not be mindlessly headbanging keyboards, these are industry veterans who have worked on similar projects before.

 

The characters have also been redesigned. Truth be told, I actually like Tails's design, and Sonic and Amy's aren't bad either. But Knuckles must have been taking steroids or something. =P

 

That's all for now, I can't really think of anything else to say, besides this could be interesting.

Ditto on the character designs, not that I can say much since I've not experienced enough Sonic to call myself much of a fan.

Still, I look forward to seeing what the show's like. I tried watching Sonic X and I just couldn't bear to watch more than the first two episodes. I suppose I could always look for the old 90's toons though.

Yeah, it's really terrible how they made the strong character look strong.

Consider that Knuckles has up to this point, been at the same height as the rest of the cast. I'm not saying his design is bad, just strange to most people who know about Sonic. The proportions are also a little weird, his body is huge, but his head is the same size as the rest of the cast. You may disagree, but that seems just a little weird to me.

 

Oh, and Im still wondering if Knuckles can glide like that still. If he still can, I'm sure it'd look stranger than it already does.
