Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice

[pppp]

I'm gonna have to agree that 3DS Sonic games have lackluster graphics, the models look more like DS models to me, if Nintendo can make 3D Land look pretty why can't Sega?

[DarkLight]

You're right.  Both Boom games seemed to have serious problems making the characters' mouths look right half the time.

I like to believe he stole some of the nuts Amy tends to store in her mouth.

State of the art? You do know that the 3DS has been out for four years, right?

I was exaggerating for effect. =/

I was about to say, in terms of raw hardware just about any smartphone absolutely thrashes the 3DS.

[Tara]

I mean, yeah, Nintendo systems are always more than a little bit behind the times, but I was saying even for Nintendo standards, the in-game models for Shattered Crystal are particularly dated-looking.

A lot of 3rd party games do. It's the same case scenario as on the Wii where you could have gorgeous first party titles like Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and you get games that look like dog turds like the Wii/PS2 versions of Splinter Cell: Double Agent. It's because 1st party devs (and to a lesser extent, experienced teams like Sonic Team) really know what can and can't be done with the hardware available, where 3rd party ones can really struggle to get something that remotely resembles passable.

Goddamnit, if that rumour from Hogfather is true, the comedy of errors will run ever deeper.

Im sorry what happened?

It's possible that the reason the game was delayed because there was no one available to work on it as they've been moved onto another project for the time being. He's still getting full verification for the rumour though.

That would be incredibly sad and tragic if that was true.

[Salamander]

Sega's brilliant outsourcing decisions never cease to dazzle me.

[Tails spin]

I've honestly gotten to the point where Sega's decisions dont surprise me and I dont care. So I'll just be here waiting for the game to release so I can play it.

[Marcello]

Honestly, I would find it quite funny.

Wait! Did Sega edit the first trailer of the game before TGS 2015 so that it's called "Sonic Toon: Fire & Ice TGS 2015 Trailer", saying 'the game is delayed to 2016'? But Japanese Sonic fans already knew that the game was delayed to early 2016, right?

Not only is Sonic not very popular in Japan despite being his country of origin, but the developers in question aren't based in Japan, so news will probably travel slower there than here.

[TeamCinas]

Don't you just hate it when developers stop developing a game?

I was referring to one of the rumors XD

[Jaguar360]

While I questioned the choice to make a sequel in the first place, the game does look fun and from the interviews and statement's I've seen from the developers, it seems like it's headed in the right direction. The at least made the sequel to the right game (I thought the demo for Shattered Crystal was fun). The delay is a really good sign tbh unless it is true that the developers have moved on to another project as said above, which would be sad.

Really hoping that this does well, but I have no expectations pretty much. This game has potential.

Games can be delayed at the last minute. Contracts with promotional partners often can't. Sooooo.....

What kind of meal did you get? 

[Tara]

I know that toys you get out of kid's meals are usually not that great, but like...

Wow, do you think they could make it any cheaper?  Like, these are about on par with the kinds of prizes you get out of those mystery capsule machines.  Probably won't be rushing to get these anytime soon, so my adulthood is saved. XD

[Jason Berry]

What kind of meal did you get? 

Hamburger kids combo and added a large drink for $1. It's a small lunch but I need to diet anyway. XP

Their Western Bacon Cheeseburgers are awesome.

The Del Taco ones were literally just cardboard.

[Gabz Girl]

Wow, that toy looks like shit. It's just a blue blob shaped like Boom!Sonic. Even McDonalds toys look better than this!

I don't think anyone is going to remember this once the game is finally released.
