May I be excused in advance for spreading this shitty trailer here but I couldn't contain my frustration...

Epic "music" and epic "character" models made to appeal to the new generation of "gamers"



How many nails is Sega willing to put into Sonic's coffin anyway?
They are putting so many that at one point his wooden coffin is going to look like it has a metal armor around it...
The name Sonic Boom makes me facepalm every time I try to think this is actually a serious name that one of the most popular game characters from my childhood is receiving for it's latest joke of a game...

Did I mention I don't like it?

[Person of Color]

Oh man, just when you thought Sega had scraped the bottom of the barrel, they put dubstep in a Sonic trailer.

That's like shitting in a corpse's vagina.

I think your comparison is too gentle and doesn't even scratch the surface of the truth but I do agree with you in entirety.

[Komenja]

They look really silly.

[Person of Color]

Generations was the only good Sonic game after S3&K. Even then, I felt like a pedophile playing it. The in game assets looked childish and terrible, a far cry from the Genesis days, or even Sonic Adventure 2.

Also the boss fights were way too easy. I mean, I got a rank S on the final boss without even trying. I was like "Wait, it's over?!" How can you recreate the fucking Doomsday Zone boss from S3&K and then NERF the fucking difficulty?! Anyone who has gotten to that boss fight in S3&K knows what I'm fucking talking about. That shit was hard as tits. Plus you needed all 14 emeralds to even ATTEMPT it...

On the same note, the Cartoon seems like it might conjure the old sillyness of the "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" cartoon (AKA "PINGAS") and if anything, the new Robotnik looks cool with the whole "Red Baron" costume.

[Person of Color]

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog sucked. SatAM was way better. Cyberpunk evil as shit Robotnik FTW. But now that I'm 25 I just don't give a fuck. Screw cartoons.

I'll just stick to my Lock-On Technology.

Wow look at all these incredibly insecure man-children on a website for a crass and childish mass violence simulator giggle about a children's series changing direction. I'm sure it'll make them feel that much better about the fact that their series is a steaming trash pile with literally 2 good games and make their penises larger by playing them.

Actually, there are at least 4 great games in it if not 5.
And with a number as big as that, I think there are not many serious games out there that have so many successful sequels.
Who the fuck cares if it's a kids game now.
Maybe the old fans that used to be kids when it came out, should also be given some thought when making a new sequel.
When I was younger, I didn't play sonic nor mario because they had cute characters in them, I played them for the gameplay and ambient itself.
I am not a furfag nor a fan of cute cuddly push toys or cartoon characters, yet I can still play the genesis sonic games with lots of pleasure and nostalgia.
They contain everything from great music, visuals and gameplay.

[Carl Winslow]

I'm legitimately surprised at how everyone is bitching about this. it really doesn't look that bad and you can safely ignore the music choice. It probably won't even be in the game. Sonic was always a childrens series and expecting them to try and change that lead to the two worst abortions of the whole series. It's safe to say that it's stupid to expect such things from it.

If you say that, you are clearly not a classic sonic fan, or due to one reason or another, you are too ignorant to care.
Having seen you post and reply to me before, I noticed you always like to post against the current of a topic.
Don't know your age since you keep it private, but maybe your age has something to do with it or you're just a simple troll that likes to vent his anger by going against the negative or positive trend of a topic debate.

[Lunick]

Please don't remind me about this mess :/

I hear they have some good people working on the game at least.

[Carl Winslow]

Classic Sonic is good and all but to continuously hold that up on a pedestal is utterly bizarre. most of Sonic is bad but to act like literally only 3 games were good and it will never be good again is stupid. Most of this forum seems like it's full of people with some bizarre masculinity issues and have never seen anything beyond action movies and video games.
Also I didn't realize that my age mattered, or that it was even hidden on my profile. but since you care, I'm 26. I collect action figures and model kits, and I also draw porn of robots. does this help?

It's obvious that in each iteration they're trying to make Sonic and co. appear more human so that young children can relate to them easier.

In which case the next step would be something like this:



The best part is this is a great explanation for all his rolling/spinning attacks.

Edit: Wow that tv show trailer thing was so unbelievably dull/generic/crap. It's just a web series right? Surely it can't be a real show.

Naah that's too fat.
To me it seems that they are going this route instead.

Has been posted on a couple Sonic forums now. I like how it was in plain sight like that.

[OpenMaw]

Dear God.


Sonic was already dead, but this is like beating the shit out of his swollen corpse.

[The Commander]

Man, this will be the best game ever... EVER

[LkMax]

Ignoring how bad some of his latest games were, all of them at least had good music. Dubstep is the worst kind of shit, it's not even music, it's sound diarrhea.

Most of this forum seems like it's full of people with some bizarre masculinity issues and have never seen anything beyond action movies and video games.

First of all, if you think sonic games are all shitty, why are you so upset about the bashing?

Second, random and gratuitous insults involving penis jokes and masculinity issues that could easly be made by a dumb 13 year old boy on Xbox Live, combined with the exagerated reaction in successive posts in response to someone's simple (though expressed in a dramatic way) opinion on the internet about a video-game franchise only indicates that you, in fact, is the only one here with real insecurity issues. Man up, being a 26 year old child will not do you any favor.

Last but not least:

I think it's more the fact that the people here seem to gravitate to only reiterating popular opinion, which is to say "Sonic is dead" over and over again. It's been said since Sonic Adventure, it continues to be said, this will not kill anything and it's just silly to act like that's the case. Everyone will get to saying 'ehh it's okay' by the point the game comes out and realize they were being silly. Continuing to hold the old games up on a pedestal is the problem and being unable to realize that it's a children's series and always will be is what's damaged it so severely. They tried to make games for adult fans that whined about the direction, and it lead to Shadow and Sonic 06, considered to be the worst games in the entire franchise. I don't know what you expect when they really should NEVER listen to the fans ever again.

By the way, the sonic comics have nearly dropped everything of the past iterations because it was convoluted trash (thanks Ken Penders). For once they're actually readable again.

[Jimmy]

Implying that they were listening to the adult fans by caving into what the edgy teenaged cloppers wanted. I'm not even a Sonic fan and it's obvious you don't know what the fuck you are even talking about.

[MetroidJunkie]

I'm Meh on the character design and the music I don't really like but I choose to reserve my overall opinion on this until I see how the gameplay will pan out. That's the most important part of a game, isn't it? It's the only thing separating a game from every other form of media.

I thought this song from Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed was all right though:


In their most recent trailers they used popular music to promote the game (Sonic Generations used Tenderoni by Kele, Sonic Lost Word used Cinema by Benny Benassi and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed used Promises by Nero) so I guess they thought Bangarang was a good idea... I hope that the next trailer that comes along doesn't stick to Bangarang and uses some of the in-game music or something... please.
