Figured I'd kick this one off with a big ol' WTF. Your thoughts everyone?

Though Knuckles' design pains me, I'm digging everyone else. I don't know WHAT to make of the game, though I'm happy to see other characters playable again. Kinda looks like a throwback to Sonic Adventure.

What's with the bandages?

Also, there's a game too?

Good god, they're all covered in bandages. I don't get it either.

SEGA has stated that Sonic Boom is a branch of the Sonic universe (much like the Archie Comics) and is not replacing the usual Sonic Team modern Sonic stuff.

I guess I wanted these new designs for the chacacthers.
At least Knuckles should change to this steroids version definetly.

If sonic 4 never happened, I would have probably been pissed today.

But not looking at things as a classic fanboy, the footage shows promise, but we'll see.

Oh good, wouldn't want to undo all their great work of the last decade... *rolls eyes so hard they end up in the next room*

So this is a developer other than Sonic Team?
Can't find any games by Big Red Button entertainment, is this their first title? Looks like it's made up from ex-Naughty Dog devs, which isn't a bad sign at all. Since it's not Sonic Team, I'm actually more positive this might turn out alright.

I still think the character designs are weird. Not necessarily bad, but I wonder why they would change Sonic's SHOES of all things to be covered in bandages. I mean, it's probably his most iconic feature!

I think tails is the least offensive of them all, actually more appealing?

If you watch this, the first game on the reel (Big Red Button game) Is probably Sonic Boom:

So I read that there is no plans to release the game in Japan. I can already see where this is going...

in the future we will be begging SEGA West to localize Japanese Sonic. Get ready, Segalization!

So this is an attempt to Westernise the franchise for us Westerners.

Indeed the problem with the games has been how Japanese Sonic is! What with those giant kaijus blowing stuff up every two minutes, idolmasters singing during the opening and closing credits and those zanny crossdressing boost races you get, that's the cause of the poor sales! Not the fact the series has had almost a decade of mixed to poor games followed by half a decade of decent attempts!

Next up Virtua Fighter, Akira Yuki is too Japanese, to break into the West they will have to name him Andrew York, a hardened NYPD detective who saw his family murdered and enters the World Fighter Tournament to find their killer
