A little bit of information:
[spoil] * The director of Big Red Button does not deny that his experience with Uncharted has influenced the way Sonic Boom looks and plays. (Wii U) Despite this, he does his best to keep the Sonic game as a Sonic game, and not something like Jack & Rachet with other characters.
* All games are developed with the support of the Sonic Team.
* The Wii U version will heavily use the Wii U GamePad.
* The Wii U version is based on CryEngine 3.
* The Wii U version will have a local co-op for 2 people.
* The Wii U version will run at a minimum of 30 FPS, although the developers want to do better.
* Games released in 2014.
* The plot of the games will unfold on an ancient land.
* The games are a prequel to the cartoon.
* There will be many places for exploration and hand-to-hand combat.
* Do not forget about moving at high speeds, but this will not be the main feature of the gameplay.
* In the passage of most zones, 2 characters will participate at the same time, in battles with bosses - all 4.
* In the game there will be power-ups and the design of the levels will be done in such a way as to make the most of the capabilities of the characters for exploring the terrain.
* Each of the characters will have a so-called EnerBeam - an energy whip. He will help them solve puzzles, climb into hard-to-reach places, and so on. Where the heroes got it from is not an unimportant part of the game's plot.
* The games will not have an open world, but the levels are large enough to evolve the gameplay towards exploring the terrain. There will be a lot of side content.
* Amy will play the role of an archaeologist and will know much more about the surrounding area. Anyway, Amy, just like all the other characters, decided to give a bigger role than usual.
* In addition to the previous point - the gameplay for all the characters is different, this is done in order to emphasize that all the characters are the main ones and should work in a team, and not, as is usually the case - Sonic and a bunch of assistants.
* In games we will see both new and old characters.
* The 3DS version will have a level structure similar to Sonic Adventure.
* Versions for 3DS and Wii U will vary greatly in both gameplay and storyline. Both games will have a plot based on the need to stop an ancient evil that is even more terrible than Eggman. Yes, Eggman is not the main villain of the game.
* Rumor has it that Sonic games will be released annually with alternation - one year there will be a game from the Sonic Boom universe from Sega of America, in another from the Modern Sonic universe from Sonic Team.
* More information about games will be announced at E3 2014.

[member = 'Zenforso'], I hope for a good coopchik myself. The same Spider-Man Friend of Foe played well thanks to him. However, why only one high-speed level in Boom is shown is the question. Still, Sonic, after all, albeit rebooted.

Sonic Boom Wii U - when the levels with running around, things seem to be not so bad, it even remotely resembles Sonic Heroes (only without interaction and enchantment switching, as in Heroes). But the levels begin with the usual walking around the locations and this is hell. Everything is slow, dull, the combat system itself is one-button and slow. There was a time when it was necessary to run away from a big enemy (hello Crash Bandicoot 1-3 from the same developer - Bob Rafi), but here all this is boring - you just run from him, you didn't even need to turn around, and I won't even remember jumping - they were not. Sonic Boom 3DS - slow, obligatory switching between enchantments slows down the gameplay and to some extent destroys it. The research part, as they said in the interview, was not found in the demo. The question is why they whitewash in IT, but, for example,
And Knuckles is just as well redesigned. The new Shadow is generally: brash:
[member = 'Tinkino'], the lost world from the announcement was not vilified, on the contrary, the topic for many pages from burnt asses that the game was. Everyone wrote that this is a revival of ideas from the unreleased sonic from Saturn, and some contrived to compare it with Mario Galaxy.
In Boom, from the announcement, except for ivy believil, the rest were horrified by the design, slow gameplay and dubstep in the first video. Modified Oct 9, 2014 by car breaker
[member = 'car breaker'], the LP on Western resources was reviled. Then I remember that they whitewashed. Well, the game looked really good though.
[quote name = 'car breaker' timestamp = '1412879613' post = '4449888'] In Boom, from the announcement, except that ivy believil [/ quote]
Not only:
[quote name = 'Zenforso' timestamp = '1401727206' post = '4188387'] Best Sonic I've seen since CA2 [/ quote] [quote name = 'Ryu Ga Gotoku' timestamp = '1401734307' post = '4188860' ] Very cool) Even a Spidey Friends of Fo-style coop will be delivered ^^, [/ quote]I had little faith in the boom at first, but the more gameplay they showed the less I wanted to play it. Also, for history I will write that I am sure that the boom will then be ported to other systems.
The 3DS'naya was interesting to me, Sanzar guys are not bad, but judging by what I played, they stupidly fulfill the contract, a kind of hack, until, say, Sonya is instructed to do the new Sly.
[member = 'car breaker'], just in SLV, almost no one beat. The whole game looked controversial from the start.
Boom is another matter. At first, the designs scared away, but then forced to look closely, some information gave faith in the best, but then they began to show the gameplay ... clearer - "something is wrong here."
