AWKWARD ZOMBIE

sega no

Oh shit, Orbot fused with Cubot and became superevil
Or it's a lazy new robot design

EDIT: He's called Defekt. Here's actual details about the game.

Also, SEGA talks about Sonic

Remember that this game isn't being developed by BigRedButton, but DiMPS, meaning it should be mediocre at best

Uh, no, it's being developed by Sanzaru Games, who also made Shattered Crystal.

Oh? I thought DiMPS made all the post-Rush handheld games

Dimps has developed every single handheld Sonic game since the Advance series (plus all versions of Sonic 4, and apparently they helped develop Unleashed?), but not in the case of Boom. Sanzaru Games will apparently handle Boom's handheld games. No one knows what Dimps will be doing in the future, Sonic-wise. Apparently they're busy with other games like Dragon Ball Xenoverse and Street Fighter V right now.

Dimps makes really shitty Sonic games anymore, anyways. Them being in charge would not benefit the game at all.

Come on guys, we all know the real reason Rise of Lyric failed was because there weren't enough bounce pads for the characters to talk about. Easy fix for the next game.

So... I think this looks not-too-bad. But that's all I can really say.
Also if Sonic gets into smash 5 will this be his new design...?

Maybe an Alt?

the boom series is entirely separate from what they're calling "legacy" sonic. it's basically a spinoff series that's in a self-contained canon, away from the main series.

it's basically their big western children seller, so we'll probably see more boom stuff more rapidly than standard sonic games simply because they're made to make cheddar off tiny kids.

Did the thread title change?



Because I like it.

okay.

reserving judgement until the game actually comes out.

but...why though?

after sonic boom was such an utter flop, why?

Except it wasn't a flop

Rise of Lyric sold well enough, the game itself was just bad
Shattered Crystal did well overall, and this game is meant to be a continuation of that, made by the same developers

The cartoon was also a complete success and recently premiered in the United Kingdom

The side series overall did pretty well

actually they were like, the worst selling sonic games ever

which doesn't mean a whole lot, because even games like '06 sell disgustingly, ludicrously well, but it still is worth mentioning.
