I'm going to say no. I mean "worse than Sonic Boom" doesn't exactly fit this.

[Rey Skywalker-Ren]

Serioulsy man?

Congrats but yeah all that hype for nothing. 

[Indigo Rush]

Nothing?

I think it's fantastic! Congrats, Gene. 

Good to have an... insider.

 

Among us.

Wait a minute, that wasn't a joke?! Whaaaaaaa....????

Eeeeeeaaaaaaahhhh....

[azoo]

Uhh, congrats. No really, congrats on the position dude!

Brb though, dumping all my salt into the bottom of the ocean. 

[GeneHF]

I admit it got bigger than anticipated, haha. I know the thirst is real (believe me, I'm looking forward to the new news too), but I do assure you more good stuff is coming.

Granted the alternative was Skyler was going to post up a fake SA3 trailer (you know the one...) tomorrow to mask the announcement, but when this started getting covered by larger sites... yep, had to reel it in.

Big puns.

I do look forward to entertaining you and making Sonic's 25th the best it can be (for better or for worse!) As today's Iblis Trigger, feel free to unleash the flamethrowers if this actually legit upset you

[Cyrus]

Oh cool, right when I was having a good streak of not wanting to punch anyone in the throat today.

Good news for you, honest congrats, but c'mon, man, shit...

EDIT: Oh, it was Gene that got that got the promotion. Didn't click on the link.

[Radiant Hero Ike]

Congratulations Gene!

so

when are you gonna start leakin' that sweet sonic adventure 3 information

[Hero of Legend]

I'm happy for you, but can I say there was deliberate misleading going on? How does this in any way, shape or form, fit the hint "worse than Sonic Boom"? Please explain.

[Guest]

Sorry that you guys all got yourself hyped up about nothing. Please direct your saltiness towards me rather than Gene though, I'm the one who brought it up here.

Fuck you.

How many more teases must be made before we get any actual announcements?

I felt from the start that was gonna be tounge-in-cheek.

Well, people who know me say I'm a complete glitchy mess that somehow made Gold and release. How I'm still alive, no one knows

[Indigo Rush]

So. What does this mean?

This means that yet another Sonic Retro member has done business with Sega in some form.

 

 

Oh, and it means that a member of the community has access to news before the rest of us by default.

Seriously, stop being salty. This is a good thing.

Hype flushed down the drain.

Nice joke though. I actually thought it was real for a sec!

I can't see how this is a good thing when it's led to there being nothing but disappointment this year.

[Nepenthe]

It's one thing for people to be noodling over vague hints and numbers and stuff and trying to wring hype from a place where there is inherently none. But presenting this as a legit announcement from Retro and thus increasing credibility that it was relevant to people's actual interest in the game(s) was indeed deliberately misleading and is not the fault of anyone being engaged. It was a bad joke due to the timing. But congrats on the job.

No one would be upset if it had simply been given to us straight. I'm not sure why disappointment is being derided as a bad thing in this particular instance.

Have your second strike and a mandatory suspension.

[Hero of Legend]

Before anyone gets the wrong idea, I'm not upset by the news, it's just the misleading. I thought with how the fanbase reacts to things, this phrase would be remembered more; "choose your words carefully".

You could've said this:

- It's not a game announcement

- It's not even about the Sonic franchise

- It's something more personal

Stuff like that.

[Ming Ming Hatsune]

This is why I hate cockteases. The monkey never learns.

Congratulations on getting the job though, Gene. =)

That's all good, I don't think some of us are salty because of his announcement. It's the cocktease that lead us believing we are getting a Sonic game announcement.

Jeez uh okay that's some salt.

[Enesephus]

Eh, I really don't find any humor in getting people hyped up for practically nothing at all, especially not after all the nothingness of 2015. I wasn't even really hyped up myself (mostly to avoid disappointments like this), but I can't help just feeling annoyed.
