My thoughts:
Pros
Writers are well known
Run by Sonic Team to ensure "authenticity"

Cons
Cartoon Network
Comedy based show

I could go either way, but to me seeing that it's gonna air on Cartoon Network (while better than 4kids) isn't the best, but still better than other channels too like disney XD, so im staying 50 50 on this until I see a trailer and/or episode

I think the character designs might change a bit, after all Amy's shadow makes it look like her normally poofy skirt is tiny/nonexistent, and Sonic looks more like Pana to me. But considering these are just shadows, mean that is could also have been distorted somewhat due to the light source, so the characters themselves could go either way fast, depending if they choose to change something.

It looks like Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are wearing clothes, so I drew up some full sketches of them based off of the shadows.

IDK. But look at Sonic's torso, there is a triangle thing near his neck that makes it look like he is wearing a vest.
And Amy is obviously wearing something new.

Just because those are shadows, doesn't mean we can be so sure whether they're wearing clothes yet UNTIL we see their proper render 3D models into Sonic Boom cartoon. Amy's the one who still needs clothes because she's the female anthropomorphic animal. If she didn't have any clothes, guess how much furry porn that would be to the kids, even if parents might complain to Amy being naked after Sally Acorn don't even have pants or shirt to begin with until she had a jacket, but not enough to cover her crotch that's even still covered in fur & her nipple-less tits. The shadows may LOOK like the male Sonic characters are wearing clothes, but we can't be so sure of that yet.

TMI about the Sally Acorn thing dude, just TMI.
Forget hentai, that is going to be etched in my brain forever.
But what I mean is, if you really look at Sonic, you can definitely tell there's something on his torso, because instead of it being round, it's more triangle like a vest. And come on, you can't even visualize a football jacket on Knuckles?

1. Rule 34 states, if it exists there is porn of it, no exceptions, doesn't matter if the char wears clothes or not
2. I actually wouldn't be surprised if parents complain about the guy sonic Chars and clothes now, especially while they girls do wear clothes, they'd toss in sexism while they were at it too (complaining parents ruin everything *cough#savederpycough*)
3. They are Shadow's, let's wait a bit before getting to arguments over abstract images of the show that don't even mean anything at the moment. (although the general thought is interesting)

I really like that trailer but I won't watch the real thing, I'm interested in the game.
The looks better than freaking "lost world" and I bet in that trailer that they showed the Wii U gameplay. Especially how you get to use more than one character again :) but Knuckles (http://blogs.pjstar.com/mindingbiz/files/2013/08/mr.incredible.jpg)... what the fark happened to him.

From what I can tell so far, the TV show seems rather uninteresting, especially with Roger Craig Smith I'm sorry I just really don't like his voice on Sonic, best example in the trailer at 2:21... So bad... in it wich makes it worse. Good to see Mike Pollock doing what he does best though.
Don't like the designs except for maybe Sonic's scarf. I'm a sucker for scarfs, makes characters look so ~Badass~.

The game looks ok, don't like the character models much, but it's still a WiP so, yeah.
Will this be like Sonic Heroes 2? Or will you just play with the same character alternating in between them in stages (kinda like Sonic '06).
Also, Skrillex? Really SEGA? Skrillex? Come on SEGA...

Overall, show looks disappointing and I'm not a fan of the animation style, it looks like it's made with Source FilmMaker (SFM). Game will probably give me a reason to buy a Wii U in the next 1-2 years, I liked the Jak and Daxter/Ratchet & Clank vibe in what we've seen in terms of gameplay. Sure, it LOOKS good, but will it play well?

TL;DR: Probably won't watch TV show, but will probably grab the game if I like what I see.

Big Red Button CEO and visual director Bob Rafei - who was instrumental in Naughty Dog's Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter - describes the Sonic Boom game for Wii U as "wide linear," but not necessarily open world. Instead, Sonic Boom will feature interconnected hubs, with the game's narrative determining which two characters are available for play in each area and all four characters featuring in boss levels. Every character brings something to the table, from Sonic's speed, to Amy's agility, Knuckles' strength, and Tails' range. There's also co-op play available.

"We have a critical path that we want to make sure every player can access, and there's secondary paths as well," explains Rafei. "There's a healthy dose of platforming in the game. We do have 2D sections in the game and the 3D exploration is all about that. That's not to say that's all the game is."

Rafei says it's "hard to say" at this point what the split between exploration and combat will be, but that combat will be a "major component". He also tells me that Big Red Button has found a compelling use for the Wii U GamePad, but declined to give details at this reveal. 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.Coop play confirmed, runs on CryEngine 3, is very non-linear, has interconnected hubs, with very interesting gameplay, all brought to you all by the original people who developed Naughty Dog's Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter.

http://www.polygon.com/2014/2/6/5387184/why-sega-handed-sonic-over-to-western-studios-and-gave-him-a-scarf This Sonic Boom series isn't going to be out in Japan at all...SEGA wants to make Sonic more appealing to western audiences. I CRI FOR NO JAPANESE RELEASE. ; ; Can't they make a westernized anime of Sonic Boom cartoon too so it would be like one of those few westernized anime like Avatar, Tenkai Knights, Teen Titans (It's not really anime, but the artwork is good so it makes up for it), etc.?!

And as the article stated, this game isn't going to be about SPEED. Okay...Well, if the game is going to be structured like Sonic Adventure, why the hell are they not gonna base the game about speed? Sonic Adventure is a lot like about speed...Only for Sonic/Tails of course. Atleast they DID state that speed is an important aspects of it, but they also said exploration, combat and strong narrative storyline is the big aspects of the game. Okay...I wonder if that plot is gonna get dark, edgy, dark and edgy or what? I don't mind it being THAT kind of plot either.

"So again, we wanted a strong storyline and art design that Western audiences can resonate a little bit better with the synergistic relation for all of us at Sega of America is why we drove toward a Western developer across the board." ...This is even also why not much Americans would accept Japanese box arts. Just take a look at THIS European box art of Megaman 3: http://86bb71d19d3bcb79effc-d9e6924a0395cb1b5b9f03b7640d26eb.r91.cf1.rackcdn.c om/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/mega-man-3-walkthrough-box-artwork-nes-europe.jpg it looks so fucking creepy only by Wily...

Plus, since they're bringing the Sonic casts just exactly like from the usual classics...I wonder if Metal Sonic is gonna be in it? I want Metal Sonic in it. If not, 0/10 put Shrek in it. Also adding a scarf that makes a character a action hero...Scarves look cool dude. Even Link's. I like the idea of it being more combat oriented, just think about Devil May Cry and Sonic Unleashed, that makes the game even better! Also the characters having specialties based on their strength and personality...Knuckles having brute strength because he's so big and tough. Y'know, why do I feel that it's sometimes stereotypical...? Not every character has some big muscles just because they're strong. I guess he's okay.

Also, Amy is portrayed like a badass and even she lands properly and not a single voice was heard from her. It can be possible that she's mute or may not have a voice actor yet. She also has a bigger bust than her original counterpart. I like this character more and better than her original. At least she's agile, but not fast as Sonic.

Come on female gamers, can't you NOT be spoiled about playing most of the male characters you play as but it doesn't matter WHAT gender of a character you play as? Feminists these days...Maybe Amy is the only solution. Also, a darker and foreboding enemy...Aw hell yeah! This game IS going to be dark! I'm gonna love this to death.

I wish people would shut up about Knuckles.
That's definitely not going to happen, most fans hate everything that seems "new" when it comes to Sonic games/shows. E.g. Jason Griffith & Roger Craig Smith - Fans never liked it when new voice actors for Sonic kept changing. I don't like Knuckles new design because it keeps reminding me of this guy: Mr.Incredible (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130117205045/disney-infinity/images/5/54/Mr.Incredible.png).

He's always had strength, but no muscles to show for it. His new design makes sense.
Many characters have/had strength and no muscles to show for: Link in Zelda Ocarina of Time (except the promotional art concepts), some-female-tekken-characters, Rachet from Rachet and Clank. etc... But they still looked cool, sometimes the muscle design kills the character's look.

Plus, it's awesome that the characters have different body types now.
Sonic looks ~badass~ (he also has a rape face now :3), Amy looks... you know (a bit flirtatious in one of the pictures on the sega blog website), Tails looks the farking same, Knuckles looks like he wanted Rouge to notice him so he stole the steroids from Hulk Hogan's bathroom cupboard (but Rouge wasn't around then so he might have tried to impress Sally or some other girl) and Eggman looks a bit fat but he's working out at the same time (in other words - his design is cool).
*Sigh*... that's why steroids should be illegal look what happened to Knuckles.

@Critical Dude: But Link had gauntlets and power gloves. I don't really know how to explain the others.

Honestly I think all the characters took a level in ~badass~.
Do you guys notice the tape on their hands and legs? And also notice their rugged clothing? It looks like they're in some kind of big war with Eggman.
Eggman looks like some kind of pilot or something. Could he be the leader of a robot squadron or something?
I don't mind Sonic's new appearance, he looks like a mix of Classic and Modern Sonic. I wish this were a reboot so we could see him like that all the time.
Tails looks the same.
Amy looks...hot...?
Knuckles looks awesome. It would make sense for him to be the big guy of the group. I don't think his skinny arms did him any justice in the previous games. I was playing Sonic 3 and Knuckles, and my little brother, who was like five, asked me why Knuckles was so strong. I couldn't really answer, so I just said "cartoon physics."

Anyway, in more specific talk I think each character has a good pro and con to their new looks.


Sonic
Pro:
-Taller than before, this is a good thing imo
-seems like his body is built specifically for speed
Con:
-The new design of his quills kinda creeps me out, but I'll get used to it.
-Those arms *shot* (they are find XD)


Tails
Pro:
-Holy molly those gadgets he has look epic, finally he is wearing more than just the normal shoes and gloves. especially the goggles.
-in the game trailer, his pose made it seem as if his move set is more stealth based to me (given the sly fox idea), so I think that is something to look forward too
Con:
-Could still end up being the one getting trapped all the time by the looks of the TV trailer


Knuckles:
Pro:
-New body type does remarkably prove original for Sonic characters (Piss off Vector, go back to the computer room) and does display his strength more.
Con:
-due to the big change in his desgin, it will take a while to adjust to it, despite evidence to prove it better than the old one.


Amy:
Nothing to say yet since neither trailer showed her for more then a couple of seconds, doing something with her hammer, so I'll get into reviewing her later.


Overall:
Pro:
-The world around them seems to be either a deserted area (get it "desert"ed? *shot again*), and could even be mobius.
-Possible world similar to the SatAM world, which was epic
Con:
-An extreme change from modern high-tech setting to this so suddenly could prove unappealing to the younger audience who knows sonic from things like Sonic Unleashed and Generations (City Escape and other things contributed to the popularity of running through insanely designed cities, seriously, who built City Escape, and how drunk was he?)


Neutral:

It really does suit him, he seems to be more "Sonic Chronicles" like.


Knuckles:

-New body type does remarkably prove original for Sonic characters (Piss off Vector, go back to the computer room) and does display his strength more.
Oh lol, he does look stronger than vector now (I wonder who would win in a fight - it's too earlier to judge :P).

Sonic looks ~badass~ (he also has a rape face now :3), Amy looks... you know (a bit flirtatious in one of the pictures on the sega blog website), Tails looks the farking same, Knuckles looks like he wanted Rouge to notice him so he stole the steroids from Hulk Hogan's bathroom cupboard (but Rouge wasn't around then so he might have tried to impress Sally or some other girl) and Eggman looks a bit fat but he's working out at the same time (in other words - his design is cool).
*Sigh*... that's why steroids should be illegal look what happened to Knuckles. Hi, I'm Fuckles The Echidna, I rape EVERYTHING! -Shot-
Just kidding. But yeah he looks a bit too much like he's on steroids.



Honestly I think all the characters took a level in ~badass~.
Do you guys notice the tape on their hands and legs? And also notice their rugged clothing? It looks like they're in some kind of big war with Eggman.
Eggman looks like some kind of pilot or something. Could he be the leader of a robot squadron or something?
I don't mind Sonic's new appearance, he looks like a mix of Classic and Modern Sonic. I wish this were a reboot so we could see him like that all the time.
Tails looks the same.
Amy looks...hot...?
Knuckles looks awesome. It would make sense for him to be the big guy of the group. I don't think his skinny arms did him any justice in the previous games. I was playing Sonic 3 and Knuckles, and my little brother, who was like five, asked me why Knuckles was so strong. I couldn't really answer, so I just said "cartoon physics."

I think you used the TV Tropes definition of "Took a level in badass" wrong. It's a alternative Sonic universe though, so they were badass just RIGHT from the beginning. For Sonic, he looks just like that one prototype design of himself that was named "Mr. Needlemouse". I even like the cowlick-like straps coming out of his quills. And yes Rex, Amy looks hot, but remember that she's still the best badass in the Sonic Boom series. I'll call her Badass Rose.



Tails
Pro:
-Holy molly those gadgets he has look epic, finally he is wearing more than just the normal shoes and gloves. especially the goggles.
-in the game trailer, his pose made it seem as if his move set is more stealth based to me (given the sly fox idea), so I think that is something to look forward too
Con:
-Could still end up being the one getting trapped all the time by the looks of the TV trailer Dude, wearing goggles is AWESOME. I even wear it in real life except when I'm sick. I don't wanna barf on it. So I still always wear it. Digimon is my only reason why I like the goggles, the goggles just seems to be having meaning and a "cool" feel to anyone...But some people just say I look weird and out of place with them. > >'



Knuckles:
Pro:
-New body type does remarkably prove original for Sonic characters (Piss off Vector, go back to the computer room) and does display his strength more.
Con:
-due to the big change in his desgin, it will take a while to adjust to it, despite evidence to prove it better than the old one. Why do the characters need design appearance to prove that they're actually strong...? Ain't that a little stereotypical at times? Well, yeah maybe it's nice Knuckles has that.



Amy:
Nothing to say yet since neither trailer showed her for more then a couple of seconds, doing something with her hammer, so I'll get into reviewing her later. ...Dude, she's badass. That's all anyone can say about it. Yet you couldn't judge. ; ;



Overall:
Pro:
-The world around them seems to be either a deserted area (get it "desert"ed? *shot again*), and could even be mobius.
-Possible world similar to the SatAM world, which was epic
Con:
-An extreme change from modern high-tech setting to this so suddenly could prove unappealing to the younger audience who knows sonic from things like Sonic Unleashed and Generations (City Escape and other things contributed to the popularity of running through insanely designed cities, seriously, who built City Escape, and how drunk was he?)

Eh, I don't know anything about SatAM, so I'm gonna keep my mouth shut about it. Also this game needs more of a world similar to Sonic OVA. It's the best and better Sonic Cartoon-Er, movie OUT there of all. Animation adaptations is the better way of putting it, but I don't know how good Sonic Boom TV would really be, so I'm looking foward to that cartoon too.

I like how this is being praised a lot more than Lost World was. People should just get over the blue arms thing (although Knuckles is fucking ridiculous, it doesn't however affect my opinion towards this new approach in the franchise).

The gameplay and Sonic's scarf are the things that are actually giving me high hopes for this. Oh, and the Wii U version developers.

What the fark? Hardly, they weren't ~badass~ at all in most of the previous games and shows (then again it's a matter of opinion). The only time that Sonic was truly ~badass~ was in Sonic Riders: ZG and SatBK in my opinion. The rest of the games made Sonic seem like a "Blue guy that thinks he's so cool but acts like a freaking kid which makes no farking sense". Knuckles was ~badass~ in the same games listed above but he was also kind of ~badass~ in Sonic Heroes (a game that made all the characters look like naive children, luckily Knuckles survived that one). Shadow and Espio seem to be the only two that are ~badass~ in most of the games. Silver and Sonic were ~badass~ when they fought each other in Sonic Generations. Amy is the last person to seem ~badass~ in any of the previous games/shows, she's just there as "The girl that Sonic won't date but he will play with her feelings as he's the type of boyfriend/ex-boyfriend that is a jerk".
Jet the Hawk = ~badass~ (except Free Riders)

That would make no sense, if Lost World was the side project, Sonic Boom would have been out first. Also I think gameplaywise we only saw 2 or 3 zones worth of the game, not to mention a game needs to be properly tested to avoid stuff like Sonic 06 glitches and gameplay again. And the article specifically stated that this was a spin-off, and will most likely not reflect the entire franchise, because I think their future sonic gameplans are still in effect for whatever 2015 has to bring.

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/448618/sonic-boom-interview-sega-and-big-red-button-on-reinventing-sonic/

Highlights (from Retro):

- Game started development in 2011, when SEGA approached Big Red Button.
- Big Red Button consists of people from Naughty Dog, High Impact Games (former Insomniac people who made the Ratchet games for PSP) and Heavy Iron Studios. (known for the good Spongebob platformers and some mediocre licensed stuff)
- Worked together with Crytek to make Cryengine 3 display the game on the Wii U gamepad while also showing it on the TV in co-op.
- Game is mostly two-player co-op, with sometimes four players.
- If you play in single player you can switch between the characters. (seemingly like in the LEGO games)
- Development was started before the Nintendo exclusivity deal. They say it made sense for it to eventually be on Nintendo platforms anyway. (in other words, it started as a multiplatform game)
- They started working on it with a somber attitude, as broader media initiatives have a poor reputation. But as they worked together with Evan they were pleased to see that he's a gamer as well. After they got together they had no more concerns.
- Before really working on the games they established base rules like what the world is, what the characters are going to be like etc.
- Big Red Button, SEGA and OuiDO (the animation studio producing Sonic Boom) shared ideas of what to add to both the game and cartoon.
- Stephen Frost (the producer of Sonic Boom) thinks they're building a bigger Sonic world than they usually do.
- Stephen hopes to make more games set in the Boom world.
- Sonic Boom won't replace the already existent Sonic, they see it more as a branch of the franchise.
- They hope to draw in new users while also trying to do something new for the Sonic franchise.
- They went through a lot of potential new designs for Sonic before eventually deciding on Scarf Sonic.

Uhh...no...
Sonic riding a car would not fit the overall feel of the game. So far it's looking to be a rural or deserted world, I'm not sure a huge blue car covered in sports tape would fit. Plus, in the Wii U trailer, we clearly see Sonic running across an ocean, so he wouldn't need a car to go that fast. I think the car is just going to be an accessory to the Sonic figurine. Little boys like to play with cars, so why not gear Sonic toys toward boys and give Sonic a car to drive in that kids can play with?

Actually in some parts of ShTH & STH2006 the vehicles did serve some purpose in certain levels that had areas where you the terrain was not suitable for going on foot (or skates in Shadows case) yet you have to go pass this problem in order to progress by using a vehicle, for example: in the stage Central City (Shadow the Hedgehog), there were areas in the level were the ground had a toxic goop which would cause normal damage to Shadow when he interacts with it via his body but he can use a car to travel across this 'goop' without getting hurt. Although Shadow could just transform into his "chaos modes" (chaos control or chaos blast) and become immune to this 'goop'.

Going back on topic: I think we are all jumping to the same conclusion with the idea that "vehicles used in Sonic Boom will be like using them in STH2006 or ShTH" which is only viewed in a bad way. Seeing as the Sonic Boom games are in development for the 3ds and the Wii U which are being made by the team that did Jak & Daxter, I'm sure that the vehicle gameplay would be different from the previous ways that SEGA did it.

I'd prefer him without any vehicles (on road and off road), if Sonic is going to fall into the water and drown when you stop running at full speed then I will smile like there's no tomorrow! Reason?

It's sad to see the 12-15 demographic be nothing but worthless dry comedy like Family Guy and other such shows, which has gone down to comedy of just plain ridiculous proportions or how simple they make those shows now. I personally don't watch shows on networks anymore, that is what I have YouTube and a DVD player for.

Anyway, more on topic, I honestly would like to see how Sonic X could be considered serious? It's not even the fact I don't like it, I just that I found their use of puns and other childish jokes unappealing (which could very well be what Sonic Boom could be too, but like I said I'll wait to see it for myself), although I will admit I watched it when it was new, and I was a foolish child (Now I'm just older and foolish in other ways), but still I questioned a lot of things in the show even then, like as to why a 10 year old kid literally practically treats Sonic like Amy does, in a sense.

And for Sonic Boom, do any of you think they will choose to use the others like Shadow, Cream, and etc. as side characters in the show? I heard a rumor they might have something to do with the game, so I wanted to ask. I have nothing to verify this though, other than a random YouTube vid I saw the otherday while half asleep.

I don't think other character's will make an appearance, or if they do, it'll be a really quick one. Because so far, of what we've seen, the show seems heavily focused on Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy. And solely on them.
Just like everything else, we'll just have to wait for more information.

In reality, most kids above 12 are allowed to watch Family Guy on fox or other networks.
Wow, America and Japan are pretty lucky when it comes to age rating, for example: Family Guy is rated 18 in my country and a show like Gintama from Japan would probably also be rated 18 over here.

Over here in the US they are actually rated TV14 or above, and Japan is just Japan with ratings, you can watch just about ANYTHING over there.

That's because it's Japan. Sonic Boom is meant to be more appealing to the western so it can't be on Japan. Most of the Japanese developers don't get what U.S gamers wants. Do you guys even watch Gaijin Goombah? All Japanese gamers wants is either Shonen, Hentai, Dating sims (Even a few of them originated from America), high schools, dark & edgy video games, humans or human resemblance (because they can't handle ANYTHING that has no humans nor human resemblance), or gender bending video games. Japan is a very busy state I'll tell you that. I know this ever since that Rayman Legends japan article thing about how much sales it got over in Japan. People just don't simply "get" nor understood Rayman. That's what I can remember it stating. All America wants is just shooting, rap (I swear, almost every kid in my school are into rap ), violence, maybe gore, and COMEDIES.

Really though, I'm expecting Metal Sonic to be in Sonic Boom still. Of course it's being focused a lot on Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy just like from the classics, but what about Eggman? How much focus does Eggman have? If that game were sold to Japan, I think a lot of Japanese gamers aren't gonna like it nor are they ever gonna pay attention to it in interest. Sonic's only more popular in South America, not in Japan really. Because Japan is Japan...Yet Japan is where almost every video game console originated from. Had it not been for Japan, no video game consoles would ever exist. I'll have you guys know that Japan is a Asian country. No one wants stick to Atari Jaguar all the time. Especially not a lot of games nor companies could ever be the same without Mario's existence. Especially Halo's.

Let me stop you right there.
1) Shonen is a term given to manga's and animes with a high focus on battle made to appeal mostly teens, has nothing to do with games. And let me tell you, shonen's are much more popular in the West then in Japan. And most japanese gamers these days don't even like manga or anime related things.
2) Just because you live in Japan and are a 'gamer' doesn't mean you have to like hentai, that is an old stereotype that every single japanese is a pervert, wich is not true.
3) Not true. The japanese are not high school fanatics as many people say. Although most gamers in Japan are in high school, they tend to be very socially awkward. If you're talking about the focus in high school related stories in manga's and animes, then that's because in Japan high school is one of their 'happiest' years in life (Gaijin Goombah even discussed this on his Dating Sims video), a year before they enter college they have to attend numerous national exams, and the competition is fierce, so they have to focus 90% of their time into studying if they want to be successful.
4) They can't handle anything doesn't have humans nor human resemblance? Give me a source on that, please. They have numerous arcades in various cities of Japan, most of the games there (and the ones that profit the most) are rythim games, and they generally don't have any humans involved.

Sorry if I got too off topic.

Ooooh...I thought shonen is more like focused on action or something. Even Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is kinda based on the story and events of Naruto Shippuden, which Naruto Shippuden is shonen too. Okay well what DO Japanese gamers really want then?



2) Just because you live in Japan and are a 'gamer' doesn't mean you have to like hentai, that is an old stereotype that every single japanese is a pervert, wich is not true. Oh sorry...I mean most, if not every...It's just that there are often sex referrences and sometimes ecchi referrence in almost every anime I see. Better way to put it, "pervert moments". I though those apply to the games as well.



3) Not true. The japanese are not high school fanatics as many people say. Although most gamers in Japan are in high school, they tend to be very socially awkward.

Sorry if I got too off topic. I didn't actually make up that statement of them not handle anything that doesn't have humans nor human resemblance. Streakster Typhoon told me that. Also it reminds me of that time in chatango when I asked that one guy to rate my character and he said he doesn't rate non human characters because they sicken him.

Seeing as Super Sonic is inspired by super saiyans from Dragon Ball Z. Loosely based is a better way to put it, I don't think Super Sonic is ever gonna be in Sonic Boom nor the Chaos Emeralds if they're only used for Super transformations. Yuji Naka even admitted that Super Sonic is loosely based on Super Saiyans during a interview. So that way, Super Sonic is a super saiyan without actually being super saiyan. That's how and why he's not really a ripoff of a Super Saiyan. Although something about Sonic Boom Knuckles is being a stereotype still, I don't know why, but it just feels like it...Making him look strong to prove that he's strong? A character doesn't NEED to look strong to prove that they're strong.

1. Knuckles got a redesign. I think I like his new design because of his different body type from the others.
2. They aren't hurt, they're just a compliment to their design. It's supposed to be sports tape, which is what athletes put on to prevent blisters or chafing on their shoes or other accessories. It's also said to make the characters look more rugged, and Sonic more adventurous.

March 8th, 2014, 03:43
I think the main reason why there's so much hate on this game because the Japanese SEGA misinterprets our likings...just like how there were 2 different versions of classic sonic ( the US version looked like a ball with triangles attached to it) and everybody swayed to the Japanese. And ( I can use and as a sentence starter)you can obviously see the way they view us, Statue of Liberty and all, Bald Eagles everywhere, and the American flag replacing our atmosphere, they know nothing about us except for the fact that we like Sonic.

If they see that they get a lot of revenue from western audiences, they should get to know us better than just getting the retard who made Jak and Daxter and hiring him to lead the team. They should've kept the same team, and those redesigns are very drastic, if normal sonic had that stuff on( minus the Nathan Drake inspired scarf( It actually is btw)) I'd like it, they could make Knuckles have a little more bulk on him and make him taller, give Amy good curves, and so on.

They didn't have to drop the F bomb and ruin the designs, if they cut down on the sports tape as well, that would be a big thank you.
I just hope they change their minds like the makers of Klonoa did with that stupid redesign they gave him.

They really didn't need sports tape either, I thought Sonic was supposed to have worn out shoes instead of putting the tape on like bandages, and it looks like it actually MORPHED onto his shoe.

The "retards" (they're 2 by the way) that made Jax and Daxter also created the Crash Bandicoot, Uncharted and The Last of Us games, also known as Naughty Dog.
I think SEGA did a nice job hiring them for the game, since this is a game (and TV show) directed especially towards the Western audience and who better for the task then them (Naughty Dog)? They made some of the greatest 3D platformer's of all time (in my opinion) and they know the Western audience better then anyone in the buseness.

I love Naughty Dog, but until they have knowledge about Sonic games as a whole, I don't really care, what their title is. ( I have the Jak and Daxter collection, all Uncharteds, and Crash Bandicoot, they don't know squat about Sonic)
They don't know us whatsoever, if they did, they'd hire different writers, make different scripts, and gives us the Sonic that we wanted since 2006, we wanted a character to beat the Mario franchise, not stupidly run relays with him in a joint game, we wanted something more.

We gave Dimps a shot and they gave us a piss poor Sonic 4 ( rhyme) I'd rather believe in the normal Sonic Team then other developers, because the Team knows Sonic best. ( minus Iizuka)

And so lemme guess, you think all westerners are happy go lucky niquits who love responsibility, teamwork, and fair play? We're not, we like "cool" things, not something that's too boring to watch, the VA is OK, it's just the script that's going to make me puke, and since the TV Show is being made by the same people who made MLP( no Rex, I'm not going to bad mouth it) it's going to be a literal, carbon copy of the MLP, only with sports tape.

Exactly Zhire. EXACTLY. Japan has no idea what the fuck does American gamers wants either. Why being so focused about what appeals your culture and country if you're gonna sell a game WORLDWIDE? Unless if you're like Nintendo that always tries their best in making their games enjoyable worldwide. Pokemon is unfortunately popular than Mario. Even I hear about Final Fantasy gamers who were playing some Final Fantasy games complaining about the games being too "Japanese". Also I don't mind the Sonic Boom designs, but Knuckles still looks like a stereotype. Seriously. Amy and Tails' are alright. Sonic though. Also I may or may not know what a sports tape is, but why the hell do they have to wear sports tape if they're not doing any sports?

1. @Zhire'El: Like Rex stated, only one of the writers on that team worked on MLP, but that same writer also wrote for SouthPark, and some other things I can't remember off the top of my head. Also, if this show were to truly reflect this one writers previous work, we'd have a very messed up MLP/SouthPark/Sonic show now wouldn't we?
Also, I will admit you do have some good points; the people who made "The Last of Us" and "Jax & Daxter" don't exactly know what the wester audience wants from a Sonic game, but depending on how long they work with SEGA, it could eventually work in our favor.

2. For the character designs I'm still 50-50 seeing them standing there makes them look strange in my opinion, but in the trailer I thought Sonic looked alright in motion for his new body type. Though I wouldn't mind a small revision on them, I'll just wait to see how well this goes in the long run.

You just don't get the comparison nor a similar possibility don't you?

Well excuse me for not having anyone mention nor never seen ANY sports tape ever in my life at all before Sonic Boom. No, I'm serious. I never seen sports tape before. Nobody told me anything about it. I never came in a place to know about it either. Not even in my childhood.

It means the same similar thing to racism. More like for example, if ONE person sees a few group of smart asians, he or she is gonna believe that all Asians are smart (Which is not true because not everyone is smart, only some people are). Even MY stereotypical view of Japanese Gamers is an example too yo. Knuckles just LOOKS like a stereotype because of his muscles and how he is portrayed that made him a STEREOTYPE. Seriously, it's overused as hell with the muscles to make the characters look strong to prove that they're strong.

That HUB world gives me a similar feeling to the HUB World in the Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 1 game, which can prove to be a good asset if worked around it right. Also, the fact that it shows off a Jungle is proof that we won't be seeing pure desert wasteland (in the game at least).

Introducing a new character to the Sonic Boom franchise...Sticks the Badger!

6899


In advance of the highly-anticipated launch of Sonic Boom, the newest branch of the Sonic the Hedgehog universe announced earlier this year, SEGA is pleased to unveil Sticks, a brand-new character that will play an integral role across all Sonic Boom platforms. Sticks, a jungle badger who has spent most of her life living alone in the wilderness, will appear in the Sonic Boom TV series, Wii U and Nintendo 3DS video games, and merchandise, forming a common thread across all iterations of the new Sonic Boom world. Sticks joins Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy to form the core ensemble featured throughout the Sonic Boom franchise.

“Sticks is a significant addition to the Sonic Boom universe and the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise,” said Hiroyuki Miyazaki, Chief Content Officer for the Sonic Brand, SEGA of America. “She brings a quirky personality and perspective to the team dynamic, and we look forward to sharing this energetic and funny new character with the world.”


https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=EsIvZ0lcYDM

Sticks is new to Sonic’s circle of friends– actually new to friends in general– and as the most primal character in the Sonic universe, she is a force of nature in every way. Sticks is wilder than the other members of Sonic’s team with unparalleled animal instincts and extremely sharp survival skills. She’s a fearsome combatant and a tenacious hunter who’s armed with handmade weapons at all times, most notably a handmade boomerang that she keeps in tow.

Her wildness means that her social skills need plenty of work and she’s not the most trusting individual. Full of outrageous suspicions, Sticks’ instincts often prove to be accurate. While the concepts of sharing, compassion and friendship are foreign to her, Sticks has a good heart and a genuine desire to get closer to her new friends, particularly Amy, who helps Sticks adapt to civilization. Sticks and Amy quickly become best friends, with Sticks willing to go to extremes to protect her new pal, a quality that will play out through new Sonic Boom content. Her eccentric character adds an endless amount of humor and surprise to the Sonic team.

The Sonic Boom television series, coproduced by SEGA of America Inc. and OuiDO! Productions, will debut on Cartoon Network in the U.S. and on CANAL J and GULLI in France during the 2014/2015 season. Every episode starts from a small character-driven story and explodes into an epic tale of saving the world, robot battles and more.

Serving as a prequel to the stories revealed in the TV series the Sonic Boom video games will deliver a totally different experience to previous Sonic games with collaborative gameplay at its core. Developed in the U.S by California based Big Red Button Entertainment (Wii U) and Sanzaru Games (Nintendo 3DS) in collaboration with Sonic Team, this is the third title to be released as part of an exclusive deal with Nintendo. Sonic Boom will take advantage of the innovative hardware of both the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, with traditional elements of Sonic games, such as speed, also featured. The videogame will also introduce exploration, combat and a new Enerbeam tether mechanic that will allow the Sonic Boom world to be discovered in totally unique ways.

Sonic Boom will be supported by a robust global licensing and merchandising program, anchored by master toy partner TOMY. TOMY’s line will showcase the new character looks, stressing interaction between core characters, and will feature new play patterns based on both the new games and TV series. TOMY will develop a comprehensive toy range across a broad number of categories including plush, action figures, RC, role play, vehicles and novelty. Sonic fans can expect a high-quality, collectible toy line fueled by TOMY innovation and energized with speed, lights, sounds, motion-activation and action-performance.

Sonic the Hedgehog first appeared as a videogame character in June 1991 and instantly became an icon for a generation of gamers. Defined by his super-fast speed and cool attitude, in the years since he first raced on to videogame consoles Sonic has become a true global phenomenon with over 140 million videogames sold or downloaded worldwide across consoles, PC’s, mobile phones and tablets. SEGA’s iconic blue blur has also gone on to enjoy incredible success in many licensed areas, such as toys, apparel, comics and animation.

Executive producers on the Sonic Boom TV series are Evan Baily, Donna Friedman Meir and Jane McGregor on behalf of SEGA, and Sandrine Nguyen and Boris Hertzog from OuiDO!. Bill Freiberger is Co-Executive Producer. Other partners involved in the TV series include Lagardère Entertainment Rights for distribution for TV and Video and Lagardère Active TV Licensing & New Business for licensing and merchandise in France.

Anyhoothoot, I really like the fighting gameplay because it reminds me of "The Incredibles" mixed with "Rayman 2" (and those games were really good). However the speed part of the game looked like you would just run a long in one direction but that may just apply to the level shown. I hope I can see the 3ds gameplay soon.

EDIT: I had to rely on this video for more images of the 3ds gameplay and more images of the Wii U gameplay:
