Sonic 2016 Rumours

[cjmcray]

They didn't specifically say a new Sonic game was in the works for 2017, just the start of a new project. It could mean filming on the movie will start next year.

That concept art is interesting. It looks like Sonic could smash bridges to access new routes.

To me it looks more like Sonic is running over a typical collapsing bridge, but instead of just falling off screen the round bits of the bridge land below and roll along the ground, piling up against a wall. That would've been a neat effect showing off the slope physics. Has any platformer done that?

I can't read the captions though, so maybe it's more like what you're describing.

There's lots of interesting concept art from the event:

I don't think I've seen that one, have you got a link to it? Is it at Retro with the other Sonic 2 concepts?

I can't find it now, although it was posted on the GHZ many years ago. If I find it, I will post it.

I've seen this one attached to some of the collections of concept art floating around from that:



I don't recall seeing any of the "pants" versions of the Boom character design before. Also this weird thing where he has arms that are both blue AND peach--can't say those were designed with easy-reading/animation in mind!

Yuzo Koshiro tweeted this photo of materials used when Ancient was working on Sonic 1 for Game Gear:


Don't know if that's a 25th anniversary thing or if he was just sharing (he posted some stuff from Actraiser and Streets of Rage, too)
