Hipster Sonic / Watch Dogs Sonic

Needless to say, fans haven’t been thrilled with Sonic’s new “Sonic Boom” redesign… but at least that scarf gives him some new ways to accessorize!

Still, Knuckles is the worst offender:



And it's a Wii U exclusive.

Remember kids, change whether it'd be good or bad, will always make people salty.

We all knew it was happening.

(For the record, I like Knuckles' new design, mainly because it's hilariously fitting)

From what I just read in an interview with the developers, some notes:

>Sonic Boom is being designed as both a cartoon and a game at the same time
>Both are being made by a Western developer, and at least one person in charge who previously worked on Uncharted. Hence the scard, it's Nathan Drake's
>It's aimed so far at a Western audience, there is no planned Japanese release.
>The game is confirmed to have more focus on narrative and combat.
>The game is confirmed to have up to Four player co-op
>the villain is "more dark and foreboding than Eggman"

Knuckles.

You are referring to Knuckles' design that people are unpleased with. Sonic's is a cute joke but Knuckles looks like someone transplanted his head onto a piece of fan art.

And then the world of Sonic contained a higher concentration of salt than a salt lick.

With all this talk about Sonic Boom, you'd think there isn't a joke in the submission somewhere.

My first Sonic Game was Shadow The Hedgehog. My second was Sonic 2006 and my 3rd was Sonic Unleashed.

I still have faith in this franchise yet.

*sips tears of always salty Sonic fans*

I'm more confused on how Sega got away with the name of their game. And now all I can think about is what they'll be calling their inevitable sequel...
Sonic Boom 2: Here's Looking At You, Guile.

So long as this keeps the Wii U on life support long enough for Super Smash Bros to make it to release, I could live with Knuckles regularly shooting up with 'roids.

Being a longtime Sonic fan I will spare you from my rantings. So I'll merely sum up my current emotions:
Frustration
Exasperation
Rage
The need to say as many variations of Fuck as the human language will allow me.

Honestly the knuckles redesign is the ONLY thing that's bothering me.

I say this as a fan of him, but I think Sega, or Team Sonic, or whoever, needs to take this franchise out back and shoot it dead. It's had its run, but its out of ideas, out of creativity and out of gas. Just. Stop. It had a peak with Sonic Generations, but they aren't going to be able to make lightning strike twice. Please move on to something people would possibly care about rather than try to revive failed franchise again and again and again.
