This Game is approaching Sonic 06 levels of bad.

Benjammin253472d ago

I really don't understand sega. They had a good thing going with Sonic Generations. I mean, it wasn't perfect but it was a good first step. And then they have to go and do this.

DiscoKid3472d ago

It's because it was developed by Big Red Button Entertainment who has very different ideas regarding a Sonic game apparently.

Eamon3472d ago (Edited 3472d ago )

Sega is no longer trying to innovate with the Sonic franchise. It's simply a case of using decades old business strategies such as focus groups and low-risk high-reward budgets.

This result is this. It'll get the sales from kids. It has all the marketing perks to attract parents looking to buy games for their children. This isn't supposed to appeal to the core gamer at all.

Lucifun3472d ago

That would be impressive in all the wrong ways.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3472d ago

it already did before launch but at least it wasn't Sonic Team again.

Th3o3472d ago

It's worse than 06, at least that was a multiplatform game! At least 06 was trying to base itself on one of the more successful Sonic games (Sonic adventure) this seems to be basing itself on Sonic Heroes (which was indeed a good game, but also a hit or miss game)

I honestly don't get why they don't just make it exactly like Sonic unleashed....without the werehog...or like Sonic Generations and continue either exapnding on old levels or creating the ones we havent' seen.

pcz3471d ago

Sonic colours is the best sonic game i have played since sonic adventure 1 on dreamcast.

i dont know why sega keep trying to reinvent sonic when they have a winning formula in the original megadrive games.

sonic colours didnt stray to far from that formula which is why it works. its just a sonic game.

sonic boom, however... looks atrocious.

I'm eager to see the reviews for this game

Starbucks_Fan3472d ago

I feel really bad for anyone buying this game without knowing about the issues...

BosSSyndrome3472d ago

THIS GAME IS NOT DONE. WHY SEGA WHY.

ZeekQuattro3472d ago

I see the money Nintendo paid for this game was well spent.... Very disappointed. I know this is a spin off but wtf is this?

Concertoine3472d ago

Did nintendo pay anything for this lol??

If they did, jeeeeesus.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3472d ago (Edited 3472d ago )

no they have no input. Sonic Lost Worlds did though.

ZeekQuattro3472d ago

Yes. This was part of the exclusive 3 Sonic games Nintendo paid Sega for.

Metallox3472d ago

Yes, they did. Nintendo paid to SEGA for three Sonic games in the platform. This one was in the deal. Nice, isn't it?

Concertoine3472d ago (Edited 3472d ago )

That's ridiculous. All three of the sonic games sucked. I mean Lost World was just mediocre but what a horrible investment. To date Lost World and M&S have sold barely anything. If they were going to partner with Sega they should've had one sonic game and the other two could be something like Phantasy Star or Jet Grind Radio or Shenmue which people have been clamoring for. That would've been huge in fact, and probably would sell better than mediocre Sonic game number umpteen.

Top 10 Worst Sonic Games

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "I’m a huge fan of the series and love to talk about its best games… but its hard to argue that it’s all been great for the blue blur. From games that were loaded with glitches, slow-paced gameplay, and visuals that look more like a blue blur of… pixels and polygons. So, take this as a warning to avoid these 10 worst Sonic games of all time."

Never played any of these on this list, surprised Sonic R isn't there, but then i played that on my first PC and didn't think it was that bad, got some mild enjoyment out of it at least.

-Hermit-982d ago

Lost World, Black Knight, Forces and Chronicles should not be on that list, I can easily think of worse.

Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, Sonic Drift, Sonic Drift 2, Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic Eraser, Sonic R, these are all way worse than the games on this list. Knuckles Chaotix was terrible as well, I hated the way you had to control the players, it was a pain in the ass. Even games like Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic Spinball and Rivals 1 and 2 which I thought were decent were worse than some of the games on this list.

To be brutally honest, most of the Game Gear and Master System Sonic games are pretty awful too. Sonic Chaos on the Game Gear for example, you can't even see what you are doing because the field of view is so bad.

I would rather play Sonic 06 than any of the games I listed above, and that game is classed as the worst Sonic game of the lot.

People have nostalgia glasses on when they think about old 2D Sonic games. Outside of the mainline games on the Mega Drive, most of them were worse than the modern day 3D games.

Rebel_Scum981d ago

Sonic 1 & 2 on the MS2 and GG were great games. Perfect blend of speed, secrets and challenge.

Sonic Chaos was shite. Too easy and gross looking sprites and backgrounds.

imo 1-10 for worst Sonic games would just be all the 3D one's and Sonic Fighters.

lellkay981d ago (Edited 981d ago )

There is definitely some worse games than Lost World,

The guy who wrote this definitely didn't dig enough into the franchise history haha

Pyrofire95981d ago

General question.
Is your favorite Sonic game the first one you played?
If not, is you favorite the same style as your first? (3D, 2D, some other distinction?)

lellkay981d ago

My favorite game is not the first one I played. (First one I played was Sonic The Hedgehog on Megadrive/Genesis)

My favorite one is probably 3&K or Mania, so yes it is in the same style as the first game I played.

-Hermit-981d ago

My favourite Sonic game is not the first one I played or same style.

The first Sonic game I played was Sonic 1 on the Mega Drive, my favourite is Sonic Adventure 2.

DFresh981d ago

I disagree with Sonic Forces on that list but the others are correct.
Sonic Forces is hella under rated.

Article says it's about third party Wii U games, yet Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival & Pokemon Rumble U are on this list.

lptmg2435d ago

maybe they were made by third parties? I dunno much about those games

PhoenixUp2435d ago

Doesn't matter who they were made by, they're still first party titles

lptmg2435d ago

one of the worst Wii U games I've ever played was Deus Ex. It's not by any means a terrible game, but the Wii U port was a massive disappointment with a weird control scheme and an abysmal framerate of like 20fps at best.

derkasan2435d ago

It's crazy how hard Devil's Third tanked. Don't think Itagaki's going to really recover from that one.
