Concept Art Fridays

[Blue Blood]

I still think the game is going to be designed like Sonic CD.

So in that regard, I am betting they put in optional content to expand the length of the game. I also am betting they are going to make a larger emphasis on exploration. After all, why add Tails if there's going to be no use for his flying, for example? My point being, I am betting this game will be larger and more explorable and probably include optional content like the projects or badnik generators from Sonic CD.

If this game is designed like SCD, it's pretty much the one kind of rehash I'd actually be happy about. Provided they don't just C&P all the CD mechanics, cause that would be just as bad as E1 in relation to S1/S2. Time travel and alternate futures along with huge sprawling levels would be a a massive improvement over the shallow laziness of E1.

The 7th one was an utter bitch to get...other than that, the rest weren't so bad.

Have you forgotten that DAMN fourth Chaos Emerald? Seriously, fuck those bumpers and fuck the regular walls being bouncy too.

At least it was better than the Special Stages from S1 IMHO. God, it brings back bad memories.

[Marcello]

I thought all of the Special Stages were pretty easy. Fun, though.

And here we go!

[Blue Blood]

FULLBOAR NEW BADNIK!

[Barry the Nomad]

I NINJA'D BOAR'D YOU ALL!

[Neon]

Don't forget the pencil version.

[Blue Blood]

Wow, I really, really like this guy! He's clearly just Rhinotank/several other variations, but the design is quite original. I love his colour scheme. And why does he have two variants? I wonder how they'll differ.

[OlenJimi]

I'm so hyped to see the new concept art o

yeah

[Badnik Mechanic]

Pimp my badnik!

I so wish it had a nose ring.

[Nintendoga]

Hmm, he's not a rehash, his name's original, and he actually looks good.

Sega, are you trolling us?

[Sonictrainer]

....Rotor?

[Badnik Mechanic]

See kids, concept art friday can be fun!

I like this guy. Rhinotank is one of my faves, so I'm glad we're getting something like it but not like it.

Now we just need a meerkat badnik.

[Semi-colon e]

Okay that's a metallic Walrein.

I APPROVE.

Also obligatory "this badnik is somewhat original unless obscure reference Aqua Lake boss seal".

[Blue Blood]

Fears about Spikes being Yadrin practically quashed. I love the look of these two new Badniks. Especially interested in seeing which stages they end up in and how they work.

[Neon]

The badnik is called 'Steelion'.

[Solly]

I like that they aren't going with boaring designs on these badniks. I was iffy on the last badnik they revealed, but they really sealed the deal for me here.

I'll stop.

[Marcello]

So, Ice level? Steelion and Fullboar look awesome.

[Badnik Mechanic]

The badnik is called 'Steelion'.

No... it's called Rotor...

At least thats what I suspect is going to happen for a while =p

[Nintendoga]

I guess Roto- I mean Steelion confirms what could be a water level or an ice level?

[Sonictrainer]

The badnik is called 'Steelion'.

Awesome design and awesome name?

Sweet.
