Sonic Boom – official announcement

    For more than two decades, Sonic the Hedgehog has been one of the world’s biggest gaming icons, with over 70 video game titles, four animated series, and an extensive global merchandising line to his name. This year, SEGA is excited to introduce a new branch of the Sonic universe, entitled Sonic Boom, that will debut a new look for Sonic and friends and launch their first-ever CG animated television series, new video games for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, and a new toy line. The creative driving forces behind these projects are working together with SEGA to kick-start a global campaign for Sonic Boom that will excite and engage new and existing fans across a variety of platforms.

    Sonic Boom’s visual identity includes character designs inspired by the abilities and unique personalities of each of the characters, while still maintaining the core identity and values of the Sonic brand. The rich worlds of the TV series and videogame will share a common narrative and a number of location and stylistic similarities reflecting full collaboration between videogame, TV series partners and SEGA from the outset.

    The Sonic Boom television series, co-produced by SEGA of America Inc. and OuiDO! Productions, will debut on Cartoon Network in the U.S. and on CANAL J and GULLI in France during the 2014/2015 season. The series is an ensemble comedy consisting of 52 x 11-minute standalone episodes packed full of high-adrenaline action. Every episode starts from a small character-driven story and explodes into an epic tale of saving the world, robot battles and more.

    Serving as a prequel to the stories revealed in the TV series, the Sonic Boom video game will deliver a totally different experience to previous Sonic games with collaborative gameplay at its core. Developed in the U.S by California-based Big Red Button Entertainment (Wii U) and Sanzaru Games (Nintendo 3DS) in collaboration with Sonic Team, this is the third title to be released as part of an exclusive deal with Nintendo. Sonic Boom will take advantage of the innovative hardware of both the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, with traditional elements of Sonic games, such as speed, also featured. The videogame will also introduce exploration, combat and a new Enerbeam tether mechanic that will allow the Sonic Boom world to be discovered in totally unique ways.

    Sonic Boom Game Announcement Screens

    Sonic Boom will be supported by a robust global licensing and merchandising program, anchored by new master toy partner TOMY. TOMY’s line will showcase the new character looks, stressing interaction between core characters, and will feature new play patterns based on both the new game and TV series. TOMY will develop a comprehensive toy range across a broad number of categories including plush, action figures, RC, role play, vehicles and novelty. Sonic fans can expect a high-quality, collectible toy line fueled by TOMY innovation and energized with speed, lights, sounds, motion-activation and action-performance. SEGA will launch a broad licensing program across multiple categories including toys, apparel, publishing, accessories, food and beverage, health and more – making this one of the biggest license initiatives SEGA has undertaken in recent years. The company will enlist many of its current partners who have had tremendous success with Sonic over the past years while seeking new licensees to join this exciting new Sonic licensing program.

    Sonic Boom TV

    “We want to ensure that the Sonic brand continues to evolve and appeal to new generations of Sonic fans and this different look introduces a fresh approach that will be at once both familiar and new to consumers,” said John Cheng, President & COO, SEGA of America. “We are committed to supporting this initiative to provide great entertainment to fans for all aspects of their lives.”

    Sonic the Hedgehog first appeared as a videogame character in June 1991 and instantly became an icon for a generation of gamers. Defined by his super-fast speed and cool attitude, in the years since he first raced on to videogame consoles Sonic has become a true global phenomenon with over 140 million videogames sold or downloaded worldwide across consoles, PC’s, mobile phones and tablets. SEGA’s iconic blue blur has also gone on to enjoy incredible success in many licensed areas, such as toys, apparel, comics and animation.

    The Sonic Boom TV series is a co-production between SEGA of America, Inc. and OuiDO! Productions. Executive producers on the show are Evan Baily, Donna Friedman Meir and Jane McGregor on behalf of SEGA, and Sandrine Nguyen and Boris Hertzog from OuiDO!. Other partners involved in the TV series include Lagardère Entertainment Rights for distribution and Lagardère Active TV Licensing & New Business for licensing and merchandise in France.

Edit:

"Steve Singer, Nintendo's VP of licensing, was at the event to emphasize that Sonic Boom represents the second of three planned Sonic exclusives for Nintendo machines."

"Those hoping Sonic Boom will make it to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are out of luck. Steve Singer, Nintendo's VP of licensing, was at the event to emphasize that Sonic Boom represents the second of three planned Sonic exclusives for Nintendo machines. Looks like there will be one more to round a trilogy between Lost World and Boom."

“We didn’t get a hands on session, but based on the footage we’ve seen of the Wii U version, the worlds look massive (although it is confirmed that it is not one open world), and projectile combat seems to be in. In other words, Sonic Boom is looking a lot like Ratchet & Clank right now.”

Nastąpiło pewne zamieszanie, ale chyba jest to jednak trzeci z trzech exów z Sonikiem na wyłączność dla Nintendo.


Big Red Button has been working on Sonic Boom for 2 years

Nie wiem czy Sega nie powinna zakopać Sonica na jakiejś pustyni i do niego już więcej nie wracać. Choć Sonic Boom nie wygląda jeszcze tak tragicznie, ale postacie, klimat, pęd, to wszystko pasowało do 2d, w 3d nawet postaci nie da się przedstawić jakoś fajnie (co Marianowi udało się bez problemu).

Zgodziłbym się, gdyby nie Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 na "makarona" aka Dreamcasta. To były świetne gry i w pełnym 3D, po prostu formuła się wypaliła od tamtego czasu, była zbyt mocno eksploatowana.

[POK]

Grałem w jakiegoś Sonica 3D na Gacku (chyba właśnie Sonic Adventure 2 się nazywało) i była to całkiem dobra giera. Więc da się zrobić dobrego Sonica w 3D.

A tu taka ciekawostka. Sonic Boom został zaprezentowany już na GDC 2013 podczas pokazu CryEngine 3. Warto sprawdzić poniższy filmik (Sonic Boom jest na samym początku):

Details rounded up from the interview above include:

    The Wii U GamePad will be used to display a map and upgrades, as well as another function which is yet to be unveiled
    The game follows an adventure style with currency and upgrades for the characters
    The game is more “organically” challenging, in that difficulty arises from skill in combat and finding hidden secrets as opposed to enemies just becoming tougher
    All the levels in the game are connected by the story and its locations
    You will mainly use two characters at a time during gameplay, but all four will show up in hubs and boss fights
    There will be points in the game where you are required to use a certain character to proceed
    The game will be very character driven, with a lot of focus put onto each individual character and their unique abilities
    We will “definitely” be seeing other characters from the Sonic series making an appearance – these will be revealed over the coming months
    Inspiration is being taken from Sonic 2, Sonic Adventure, and Sonic Generations

First Impressions: Taking Sonic Boom for a Spin on Wii U and 3DS

(...)

After spending time with both Rise of Lyric and Shattered Crystal, it’s clear that Sonic Boom is best thought of as a Sonic ‘series’, rather than a game itself. Aside from the characters, gameplay, and narratives unique to each platform, each title had an entirely different feel; from our early impressions, it seems like the Wii U game could be a fun co-op experience for friends and families — especially those with younger children — while the 3DS title may hold more appeal for platforming and old-school Sonic fans. No matter your platform or play style of choice, Sonic won’t keep you waiting for long — both titles are set to be released in 2014, alongside the animated TV series, and we’re certainly looking forward to seeing the rest of what this new Sonic universe has to offer when they do.

Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric — developed by Big Red Button — will arrive on the Wii U on 18th November, with the official packshot (below) also released.

Staram się nie być uprzedzony do tej gry, ale jak na razie na każdym filmiku wygląda najwyżej średnio. Zarówno pod kątem wizualnym jak i gameplayowym.

[POK]

Też wciąż sam nie wiem, co mam myśleć o tym Sonicu Czekam na pierwsze opinie recenzentów.

Tymczasem dostałem wreszcie kod za MK8 na Sonic Lost World. Kod przekażę siostrzeńcowi, ale grę też postaram się kiedyś trochę obadać.

[POK]

Wygląda bardzo fajnie, aż ma się ochotę zagrać

Czekam z niecierpliwością na pierwsze recenzje. Jeśli tym razem gra z Sonikiem okaże się klapą, to już chyba nie ma żadnej nadziei dla naddźwiękowego jeża. Przypominam, że w pracach nad grą uczestniczy kilka osób z Naughty Dog:

After 13 years of art directing original IP titles at Naughty Dog, Bob Rafei founded BRB in 2009 with Jeff Lander for the mission of creating great character action games. We have brought together a collection of talented veterans from Naughty Dog, Heavy Iron, Luxo Flux and High Impact Games to develop engaging games through addictive gameplay, responsive controls, fluid character performance, highly polished art direction and strong narrative.

Jakość żałosna, ale przynajmniej można zobaczyć, jak wygląda gameplay.

To gadanie w trakcie biegania działa mi na nerwy

[POK]

Dziwne gdyby bohaterowie biegali razem i się nawet do siebie nie odzywali Mnie to zupełnie nie denerwuje, za to strasznie kojarzy się z Jakami i Ratchetami (w ogóle gra designem mocno przypomina te gry).

Jestem bardzo ciekaw, co wyjdzie z tego całego pomysłu. Szkoda tylko, że gra jest tak słabo promowana. Przydałby się jakiś krótki Direct.

[POK]

Można już pobrać demo wersji na 3DSa. I zaraz to zrobię


Obydwie wersje zadebiutują 21 listopada.

I jak wrażenia?

[POK]

Będzie dobra platformówka, z mnóstwem rzeczy do zaliczenia i zebrania. W demie mamy jeden całkiem długi poziom i dwa pomniejsze. Pierwszy skupia się na eksploracji (można zaliczyć go także pędząc na złamanie karku), dwa pozostałe, to wyścig oraz pogoń za wielką mechaniczną larwą (trochę przypomina jazdę da rolkach w Ratchecie - skaczemy z jednego toru na drugi, zbierając przy tym bonusy i omijając przeszkody).

Mimo to na wielki hit nie ma co liczyć. Brakuje innowacyjności. Stawiam, że gra zbierze oceny w granicach 7/10. Wersję na 3DSa robi jednak inne studio, niż wersję na WiiU, więc w wciąż nie wiadomo, jak wypadnie ta druga.

Wersja na WiiU ma na razie dwie oceny i obie nie napawają optymizmem

Gra okazała się nudna i w dodatku mocno zbugowana. Szkoda.

Najlepsza recka na sieci:


Sonic umar i nie wstanie

Niestety. Najlepsze ostatnie Soniki to Colors i części na starego DSa

Powyższa recenzja jasno pokazuje, że mogła wyjść całkiem niezła gra. Chyba zabrakło kilku doświadczonych osób w zespole, które zajęłyby się doszlifowywaniem wszystkich niedociągnięć.

Sonic Boom Gets a Whopping 1GB+ Update in Europe

Sega and Big Red Button haven't even provided official patch notes, so blue blur fans over at Sonic Stadium did the honours. Below is what they think the update has brought.

Bug Fixes:

    Knuckles Infinite Jump fixed
    Some level barriers added to prevent the player from escaping the map. Leaping from the map into oblivion was a source of ridicule for the game when it was released.

Additions:

    Navigation arrows "Small yellow arrows added which show you where to go" (They were in the original, but they now have some issues).

Improvements:

    Improved Framerate during speed sections
    Loops are 'less choppy'
    Minor lighting improvements
    Improved shadows.

Problems with the Patch:

    The navigation arrows tell you where to go, but you can still miss vital items which you need for when you get to the location. So you can follow the arrows and still become stuck not knowing what to do.
