New Sonic game...

Nintendo 3DS - Sonic Boom Fire & Ice Announcement

Wow, oh my god!!

I couldn't care less!

[ViperAcidZX]

So another Sonic Boom game that's more-or-less a rehashing of the Rush games?

*shrugs*

I think the trailer song raped my ears a little.

Allow me to smooth your ears with a dancing blue mecha.

Please don't insult the Rush games by comparing it to this.

[Satoryu]

These games aren't anything like Rush. They are (or at least Shattered Crystal was) far more concentrated on platforming and the unique abilities each character had.

I thought Shattered Crystal was pretty decent. I'll keep an eye on this.

[Sakura Leic]

I thought Shattered Crystal was more Metroidvania like.

[Police Girl]

Please don't insult the Rush games by comparing it to this.

But Rush was just standard dimpsanic except with boost.

[Sakura Leic]

Eh I wasn't very good at the first one since I wasn't familiar with the trick system and I hated the bosses.   I never played the second and don't really plan to.

[Phi]

I like Dimps Sonic, with the exception of SA3 and Sonic 4.

And Rush's soundtrack was catchy as fuuuuck.

[Sakura Leic]

That it was, that it was.

Please don't insult the Rush games by comparing it to this.

No need to get all defensive, but that was what came to my mind when I watch the trailer since I only played a little bit of Sonic Rush before I could get my own PC. I wouldn't mind playing more for the soundtrack.

[Phi]

Not defensive, so much as an observation that both Boom and Rush play very differently.

Just pointing it out, is all.

[Satoryu]

I thought Shattered Crystal was more Metroidvania like.

Sort of. You can explore the different branches in the levels but there aren't new abilities to get or anything. It's more about collecting stuff.

[Amatiramisu]

Shattered Crystal was too much of a collect-a-thon. It was a slog, imo.

[Police Girl]

And Rush's soundtrack was catchy as fuuuuck.

That's one thing Sonic has almost always done right. Sonic 06, Shadow and Unleashed aren't looked upon very highly but the music is still superb.

I say almost always because from what I've heard Sonic Boom can't even get that right.

[VirusChris]

Well there's going to be a main Sonic game announcement soon for 2015. I hope it's good.

Though I didn't try out Shattered Crystal and saw videos of it and I wasn't feeling the story, but the gameplay was better than the Wii U. Also I guess they made this sequel to Shattered Crystal due to the success of the Sonic Boom cartoon show? Honestly didn't really like the Sonic Boom show, the 15 minutes per episode thing and on top of some really uninspired jokes didn't really make me think it was funny.

Kinda wish it was more like SatAM though.

[The Great Gonzo]

Well, I'm looking forward to F&I. :U Helps that I like the show and SC (still no system to play RoL on, but slower-paced combat/exploration-oriented gameplay appeals to me).

[Police Girl]

I've heard the Boom TV series is actually decent.

The games are a different story.

[The Great Gonzo]

No reason why SEGA (and Sanzaru Games) can't recover from a dubious start for the Boom games. That's one thing they've got over Capcom.

[Police Girl]

Oh, I'm not saying its a bad thing they're giving it another go.

It'll just be hard to win back people after the blunder of Rise of Lyric.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Rush is one of my favorites. The boost was the best thing ever. Then they [tornado fang]'d it all up when they made Rush Adventure.

[Amatiramisu]

I think Rush Adventure had better level design.

It's everything else that sucked ass.

For some reason I can't just leave the video like before otherwise I get an error message "the message body was left empty" despite me filling with the embedded video.

[Sakura Leic]

I was just about to post that!

[ViperAcidZX]

Johnny also forgot something else that fire and ice creates.

That's funny!
