...And?

Most of this concept art looks like shit to me but I don't like where today's art and animation is going, either.

No. Unless last July was, like, totally laaast year to you folks.

I look at this and wonder why Sonic 4 had to be such a failure, at least cosmetically. The art style here is very nice and I bet the development team had little time to create it. Though, the retro-styled graphics clash with the modern character designs, IMO. Sega is really adamant on keeping those ...

Speaking of SoJ, I bet Iizuka and co. are quietly raising a toast of schadenfreude at the office this week. One can hope they'll take this as an opportunity to show up the Americans and put in the extra work needed to make their next project shine, rather than deciding they've got nothing to prove,...

I'm seeing a lot of deluded Sonic fans expressing their confidence in Sega patching this game after release. I think the fact Sega is releasing this game in it's unfinished state tells us they are already at a financial loss and will put no more time and money into post development improvements.

You know, Sonic is like Star Wars - it had three great titles, a couple good spin-offs and a boatload of horseshit. And the fan base still laps it up.

It's inevitable for a company to run a franchise into the ground when it's only known for one franchise. At least Nintendo can stick to releasing one Mario game per console. And I hope they do stick to this mind set becasue it gives a team lots of time to make a decent game (Sega often releases seve...

This is the future you chose, Sonic fans. And everyone of you who buys this game despite how awful it looks, you're just perpetuating the problem.

One of the poorest aspects of 3D Sonic games has always been optimization, and this being a Wii U exclusive only makes things bleaker. I assume all the development problems that plagued Sonic 06 are repeated here. Poor executive decisions and a due date that makes optimization and bug tweaking all b...

High five!

I'll watch it when it hits YouTube.

All the maps that we've seen videos of were quickly whipped together for the intent to record game footage to show the higher ups. Nothing actually beatable or entertaining was completed. But with the source code and build tools available, the community could use all the resources available and comp...

I really like the idea of Sonic being a member of an 80's rock band and inhabiting a wizard of Oz-like world, but it probably would have limited the universe, and maybe Sonic would have became another Ristar. I also like the genesis art direction. The Japanese really didn't see Sonic with as much 't...

I think this is intended for licensing merchandise.

When I see drawings like this, I see how much Felix the Cat influenced the early design.

Jesus it's Sonic Heroes all over again.

B-but he can draw better than this. Why is he pursuing this style? He must know how awful this looks.

They should have named him Harry.

When I saw Fastidious Beaver I couldn't help but think of Flatulent Fox and Dinner Dog, parodies of the whole Character Descriptor the Animal characters that often inhabit old cartoon shows.

Is this a fucking joke?

Dear Lord, the Zero Suit spasm found it's way over here, too.

I miss the old voice actors.

I've never really seen these characters as children but Sega keeps pushing that fact.

Making Amy an archeologist just feels like them over compensating for today's tumblr audience.

I guess Ken doesn't want to have his privilege checked.

I don't know why they didn't change Amy's, too. They would look better if they had. She looks more naked. Wink wink. Though her new artwork demonstrates why she needs flesh colored eyelids. To make her semi-closed eyelids apparent, they had to give her brow a distinct contrast that almost looks lik...
