Mike Pollock If they continue to make Sonic games in several years time, they're going to have trouble holding a candle to either you or of course, Deem Bristow.
I was pretty skeptical of this whole "Sonic Boom" thing at first, when that teaser silhouette picture was released. But now, I can't wait for the show and even more so the game to be released. Most of these changes for the game like the more story-driven aspects are things I've been wanting to make a comeback in Sonic games for a long time now. Definitely going to be getting a Wii U before it launches.
And the best part? It's not replacing current Sonic! :D I hope both the tv show and video game are good. Looking forward to them! (Though I'm still "eh" on Sonic Boom's in-game character models for the Wii U game).
Here's my thing. It's totally cool that you're excited for the story thing. However... why is that such a selling point? Just because it's a story driven game, does this mean the story is going to be good? What makes this story so special? What is the synopsis in general? I'd really like to know!
Zinna the Mongoose I can totally see where you're coming from... but that seems highly unlikely for a "Comedy series" That small bit of gameplay they showed on the computer screen. This feels like one of those 4 character co-op games like Marvel Ultimate Alliance or Ratchet and Clank All 4 One. Don't get me wrong, I sort of don't want this to fail... but I'm still extremely nervous. We've been promised good things by SEGA in the past and have gotten complete crap (Sonic 06)
piplupfan77 I'm still worried. Not about the game, that looks awesome. Just hope it plays well, but with the people they got working on it, the game should be alright. Now the show...I have my reservations about. I'm glad the characters are getting more personality and depth, but I'm worried some of the characters may be stereotyped. In this Knuckles sounds a bit like the big, dumb jock type. Reading the comics, I know he's intelligent and it just hurts that the best written character in the comics still isn't getting his due. And if this extends to Amy and Tails, I'm gonna be sad. And I read some of the episodes are gonna be like. They are going to be eleven minute episodes (don't know why more people seem to be gravitating towards this), no over-arching plot (self-contained which nothing is wrong with that but it kills a lot of possibilities for the show), the demographic is for kids 6-11 (here's where things get dicey), and the episodes are going to be like the scenario of the week (Eggman fakes an injury to take Sonic to court and Knuckles is Mayor for a day). I'm gonna give it a shot (two-three episodes), but that's it. I just want a show based off Archie Comics done a little more seriously (as it was really campy in the beginning, there are some plot holes that need to be addressed, and they need more character building done).
Although, I might watch the cartoon anyways, because Eggman told me to. Pretty good marketing, actually. As a matter of fact, all products should be advertised by Eggman. Especially hair care products.
omg....it's actually you... dude I love your work as eggman. You bring a lot of humor to the role. I think you really capture the character very well. In fact I can't help but do impressions of your lines... Seriously, you're like my vocal hero. Looking forward to hearing you in the new series.
"We're trying to do it in a smart sophisticated way" "I sound like a fortune cookie!" *takes bite of self* "But I don't taste like one" *see the actor laughing at his line* Go home, Sega. You're drunk.
Knuckles is the outlier lol. The rest of the script they demo'd is more in line with this. I also feel like by "Smart and Sophisticated" they meant "Witty + Snarky" because literally that how all the characters sounded like except for Knuckles
I do wish Cindy Robinson would try altering her Amy voice this time around. Her usual voice for her doesn't really sound all that "confident" or "independent"...
It's called playing exciting music in the backround while people are talking about things that our personal to you. It's a form of advertising that gets most people. The way the video is edited also contributes to this (example: quick cuts, funny moments).
i just love the voice acting cuase it really looks like some of the voice actors are having fun with this and willing to give a grade A performance, my favorite line is from eggman AKA mike pollik (sorry if i spelled that wrong): "i need that laser back by thursday i'm going to atta- i mean have a party"
Loving this sneak peek at some of Sonic Boom's awesome voice work, and the fact that Mike Pollock is able to record right alongside them. The fact that Tails has a new voice may take some getting used to, though.
Oh, Colleen is an awesome voice actress and she's got a great boy voice that's great for Tails, so there's no problem. It just feels a little sudden to switch out Kate Higgins, is all.
First the designs, now the voices? Unpleasable as always, the Sonic fanbase. I swear to Gaia sometimes... Yes, Tails is now voiced by Charmy's VA, and we can't tell the difference. You know a VA is competent when they can impersonate another VA. Also, I heard that Kate went union recently, which causes problems. If anyone official wants to confirm or deny this, feel free. And for those of you still complaining about Amy's "Minnie voice", maybe you need to look into Kingdom Hearts before you use that as a derogatory again. Also, I'm confident in Cindy's ability to express emotion in her characters, given her experience with the BlazBlue series (this goes to Travis as well despite the differences between the characters he voices, and I'd be pleased as punch if the real Mike Pollock were to pass this on to them). Back to the designs for a tick, there are practical reasons behind the "scarves, bandages and steroids", as once quoted on Feedbackula. Knux being top-heavy makes sense since he uses his upper body the most - not only for fighting, but also for climbing and digging (animals in real life use their forelimbs for digging). The athletic tape is for binding the arms (S/A/K), feet (S/T) and back (Amy) to reduce the risk of self-injury. And Sonic's scarf is to divert the air blowing on his neck to minimize the risk of wind chill, like the pilots of the early aviation era and World War I - imagine that. It also works as a makeshift mask if Sonic has to go out into a sandstorm. And one last thing - if anyone decides to trash the series because some of its writers also do Friendship is Magic, I will end you, and I'm not a brony. It's just that after the sea of faeces known as the Twilight Saga, MLP can't fix the female self-image fast enough, and it needs all the help it can get. If you're going to bash something, could you at least come up with a good reason why that doesn't amount to "it's not like (insert previous Sonic game here)"?
(6:48 & 9:26) I think he does. Thats why him, along with Roger Craig Smith & Colleen Villard (Replacing Kate Higgins), are the voice actors I respect mostly.
This behind the scenes video gave me a positive impression of both the game and the show. Can't wait to see some actual un-cut gameplay of the video game.
I don't care what the haters say about this, I'm really looking forward to seeing what Sega come out with, instead of going, 'I hate the characters new designs'. I'm highly anticipating this.
@@af9441 Unfortunately with Sonic and SEGA, you have to keep your expectations low or else you would just be disappointed. I've learned that the hard way
6:48 Hold on, multiple Knuckles'? Alternate dimensional Eggman "having a party"? Witty comedy? Holy shit, that episode MUST have been written by Dave Polsky! The same writer that wrote Too Many Pinkie Pies, an MLP: FiM episode. What a brilliant callback! :D
I'm soooooo excited for this. I'm getting both the wii u and 3ds versions. Nintendo is really making me happy with their wii u and 3ds libraries. Between Wii U, PS3, and 3DS, every gaming desire I have is satisfied (:
How wonderful! I love all the voice actors! This is going to be adorable and awesome at the same time! I can't wait to watch the show and see more content of the videogame! Great job everybody! I am so excited! ^^
This really doesn't deserve any hate. It's a standalone thing for the skylanders audience, not 20 year old sonic fans. I'll happily wait for the next Hedgehog engine game knowing that the franchise will get a huge budget boost from games like this. I'm okay with kiddie/multiplayer sonic and modern/speed sonic coexisting.
Ok, though I agree this new version of Sonic deserves a chance.... what IS a "true fan"? Honestly, I hate that term, fanboys/girls everywhere wave that term around as if being a "true fan" makes them more worthy or something. Not to mention there will always be arguments about what makes a "true fan" true....
Gustavo M's Trash Can Not really because if the game sucks then it sucks but if the game is great then it's great, I'm willing to try things out before I judge them instead of bashing anything that looks new.
Always good to see more than one voice actor in a recording session. It means they are working off each other and making the conversations between characters feel more natural. :)
im starting to ease into this a bit more now but im glad they're still keeping normal Sonic separate for us who have grown up with the current style. 7:53 tehehe delicious creme filling
I've gotten pretty use to this va for sonic. I understand some people have issues but I guess I should feel blessed i can enjoy these VA's without it ruining my experience =) Cant wait to see all this new sonic universe has to offer!
MastaGambit Seriously, this debate again? Ryan didn't want to relocate when 4Kids took over, so Jason was paid to emulate Ryan. (and speaking as someone who grew up with Jaleel's voice, Jason definitely improved as time went on. Hell, I thought he sounded better in Sonic-X than in the games, so really, I'd put it down to bad direction on SEGA's part.)
Adventure fan here. (Grew up on the Classics, got back in thanks to Adventure 2). I didn't even _know_ about the VA switch from Ryan to Jason between Heroes and Shadow. Partly because in the games it didn't tell who voiced whom (just who were the VAs), and partly because I didn't care because I was kind of concentrating on the game itself. As for the switch from Jason to Roger, I stayed away from playing new Sonic games since Unleashed was announced because none of them were what I wanted in a Sonic game (and not because of 06 because I actually _liked_ that game). Sonic Boom's the first time in about seven years where I'm genuinely looking forward to a new Sonic game, even as new information is announced. Do I like Roger's voice? Ehhh, it'll grow on me over time, I can guarantee that. Remember, we went from Jaleel White to Ryan Drummond at one point; I'm sure we can adjust. (wishful thinking of course)
Bullshit. Games like Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations sold well and are generally well-received. Just because you can't please EVERYONE in a fandom doesn't mean the fandom as a whole is unpleasable.
wow this clears up all my skepticism with this whole sonic boom thing now. I'm actually looking forward to the T.V. show and the game now. I really dig what they are trying to do in the show so far from what i have seen, it doesn't seem horribly cheesy to the point where an adult like myself cant to sit back and watch and enjoy it
Is BalenaProductions complaining on this video? No? Phew, good. The less of him the better. The game still looks pretty decent, but I'm REALLY worried about it running at 30 fps. 60 fps is just what a sonic game should run at. The cartoon however, just listening to these voice takes made me laugh. I can't wait to see what happens with both.
Garrett Simpson Yes Nick Brand BAHAHAHAHAH, You have noticed that influx of spam he created, right? It practically became an in-joke. Balenaproductions Oh hello.
Oh man. It's great to get real behind the scenes information on this! You have no idea how long people have been waiting to see it! Now we have real information on the brand new Jak & Daxter game! ...I mean Sonic. Yeah. Sure.
What the...Roy Mustang/Guile is the new Knuckles on steroids?! Sonic still has the voice of Chris Redfield. In the past, I was used to seeing Cindy Robinson voicing as a serious toned character such as L.egretta the Quick or Zola, but not as a characteristics like Amy. And Tails got a new voice actor who's name I don't recognize. Update: I didn't realize Colleen O'Shaughnessey got married recently and changed her last name to Villard.
I can't wait. They basically said everything that I wanted for Amy and Tails. My god I always wanted this for them. I hope they can pull it off. Overall I'm looking forward but... you can't really excuse Knuckles. This may be the greatest year for Sonic since 2003
What's the knuckles beef for I mean he was always a tough guy so it makes sense his exterior matches he's interior don't you get it ?.. I like the new redesign it was shocking but they will not always look like this why can't fans put this in the back of thier minds ..
360seas2021 "I mean he was always a tough guy so it makes sense his exterior matches he's interior don't you get it" Since when did tough guy mean heavyweight champion? There are guys out there that can break bricks with their hands and they're smaller than I am! I always thought knuckles' strength came from the spikes on his fist and his fighting technique rather than raw physical power. I mean isn't this the same knuckles that's supposed to be able to glide through the air? Oh man, would that be hilarious to see with this design.
360seas2021 It seems out of place. I'm not really bothered and I hope this Knuckles will stay in Sonic Boom Personally I think he was at his best as character in Sonic X.
I gotta say, I'm really looking forward to this!! :-) Both the game and the TV series! And personally, I love the new character designs :3 But it is sooo surreal to see the voices of Sonic & Co. coming out of real life people xD
Alternate dimension Knuckles? Anyone else thinks that regular Knuckles will make an appearance and end up meeting his beefed up muscular version of himself in the show lol
Yeah... A LOT more excited about this game now FOOS! Looks like Sonic will FINALLY make a proper evolution to 3D that Sonic Adventure was supposed to be :)
Love the game concept art! Also nice voice actors! Hopefully it's not joking from start to end. I want it to get more and more serious when you progress in the game (assuming there'll be something dangerious going on). I especially want knuckles to get more serious.
By the way, THIS is how you actually record voice acting. In person, so you're practically having the conversation with the other characters as you record. That said, Amy still has her Minnie Mouse voice, which is really irritating.
Actually, her voice seems like it might be slightly better this time around compared to Sonic Lost World. If what we hear in this video is a "deliberately fake acting" voice, than her normal voice might actually be listenable. IMO Sonic Heroes had the best Amy, though. Even if Colours, Generations, and Lost World do every other character far better than the rest of the series.
As long as she's faster than the werehog and we don't have to go through slow block pushing or strength tests or bullshit like that, I'm really looking forward to her gameplay.
Yeah, I agree. That and the endless stream of fight ups that went with it. Fighting enemies can be cool and all, but when they lump it together on you TIME after TIME, then yeah, it becomes a bit boring for me. If she can more more freely and in good control movement, then yes, she could just well be the Werehog we could have had! I'm not saying I hated the werehog stages, I just thought that some areas of his gameplay were weak, that's all.
The DarkFox She also seems to take out enemies pretty fast, for example - The clip with her spin-attack. And I believe they said somewhere that they're trying to improve the difficulty of the game as it goes on without just making enemies have more health. So I think it will be fine. Plus, the werehog levels were really long. While I can't say how long the levels in this game are, I doubt they'll make them last for 30 minutes like some of Unleashed's levels did.
I'm actually greatly looking forward to this game. Because apart from the exploration elements, I'm also liking the difficulty improving as time goes on thing, as you say. I think this game is going to be a good highlight of my life.
@@ChaosSpeed24 Well, 8 years after I can still comfortably say these are the best designs and the best humor they've had, especially if considering the show!
I'm not really into cartoons much anymore and I haven't been too pleased with the modern generation of gaming, but I can surely say that both the Sonic Boom game and the show have gotten me super hyped. I think Sega outsourcing their mascot to former Naughty Dog developers is a kick-ass idea. I think that I now have an irresistible urge to get a Wii U. Other games for the system I look forward to are X and Bayonetta 2.
No offense to Cindy... but that Amy voice is bad... really bad. Bad enough to make me miss the 4kids voice actress. It's most likely the voice directors fault though. This honestly sounds like a horrible Minnie Mouse rip off that would make most newcomers change the channel in a heartbeat. I'm not saying to get rid of Cindy, but see if she can pull off a different kind of voice for Amy. Roger... sounds different here. This is probably the most mellow Sonic voice I've ever heard. Still not a fan for his tone of voice for Sonic. But I can tolerate it. I still feel it was a bad idea to get someone who is known for some pretty manly voices (Ezio, Chris Redfield) to voice someone like Sonic. Feel free to bash me here... but I feel Josh Keaton from the likes of the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon would be a really cool choice if they had to get someone new. Or just go back to Ryan Drummond (yes I know what happened around Generations and how he was supposed to come back but couldn't thanks to union fees) The new Tails from what I've heard sounds just like Kate Higgins (so far), no complaints here. Anything's better than the 4kids Tails voice, and the direction Kate Higgins took is probably the best thing to go off of. So I'm gonna welcome Colleen Villard with an open mind. Travis is pretty decent as Knuckles and he sounds better here. I miss the knuckles voice from Sonic Heroes though. I also don't like how Knuckles is still retaining the status of "The dumb one." It started slightly sometime before generations and now it's horribly obvious here. You can make Knuckles funny without making him go full moron. Mike Pollock IS Eggman, I can't see anyone else doing it. I hope he stays as Eggman... forever. The designs on the characters themselves, I don't mind the accessories, however that sports tape is still slightly obnoxious looking, I feel if they tones it down a bit it would look better. Fight me all you want on this but I know some pretty dedicated athletes that say Sonic's sports tape on his shoes looks like a 5 year old did it. The scarf is pretty cool though. I feel the blue arms though... need to be changed back. No this is not "GREEN EYES" all over again, I just honestly feel it's a bad design choice, especially if the goal for this show is to introduce new people and children to the Sonic franchise. This also goes for Knuckle's new beefy look. Also... the character models for the game look silly compared to the TV SHOW COUNTER PART. Please fix them BigRedButton! To say the least, I'm happy this isn't replacing the main stream sonic, I'm just praying the final product won't turn into something like "Crash Mind over Mutant" all over again. I will give the new game a try and check out the tv show when it comes out.
I'm pretty hype about cartoon to be honest, the with the whole alternate dimension Knuckles bit. Just makes me wonder if alternate dimension Knuckles is the Knuckles everyone knows or are they gonna put actual echidna. That would be actual pretty fucking hilarious. Also the whole dialogue about "standing under a rock that about to fall" sounds like a trap Sonic and his friends made to lure some robot that probably spying on them.
Sounds awesome! I CAN NOT wait till it comes out; the game and show. But i have one question though, why is Eggman's eyes blackish green? lol just curious. And i just hope with all this comedy, not that i dont like comedy, i just hope that this show wont be dumb like some of the shows "comedy" shows that's on Disney, and Nickelodeon. But still, i cannot wait for this, im so ready! xD
Can't believe it's been over 6 years.. Miss this series.
Mike Pollock is such an amazing voice actor!
Thank you.
Mike Pollock Wow! If this is really Mike Pollock, keep up the great work! I can't see anyone else playing Eggman!

I'm okay with kiddie/multiplayer sonic and modern/speed sonic coexisting.
I got a few of my questions answered and some laughd and info from this. Thanks SEGA!
I'm still not completely on board with this, but at least it looks like the creators know what they're doing.
I am really looking forward to this
If you're not willing to give this game a chance then you're not a true Sonic fan.
Ok, though I agree this new version of Sonic deserves a chance.... what IS a "true fan"? Honestly, I hate that term, fanboys/girls everywhere wave that term around as if being a "true fan" makes them more worthy or something. Not to mention there will always be arguments about what makes a "true fan" true....
Altar360
If this game will be on 3DS I could give it a try, But its not worth buying a Wii u for one game.
At this rate, you wouldn't be a "true fan". More like, a fanboy.
chunga100 Umm, ok, fair enough, though that's not what I was saying at all...
Gustavo M's Trash Can Not really because if the game sucks then it sucks but if the game is great then it's great, I'm willing to try things out before I judge them instead of bashing anything that looks new.
Always good to see more than one voice actor in a recording session. It means they are working off each other and making the conversations between characters feel more natural. :)
im starting to ease into this a bit more now but im glad they're still keeping normal Sonic separate for us who have grown up with the current style.
7:53 tehehe delicious creme filling
I've gotten pretty use to this va for sonic. I understand some people have issues but I guess I should feel blessed i can enjoy these VA's without it ruining my experience =) Cant wait to see all this new sonic universe has to offer!
I think the voices are great, especially eggmans VA ^^
I still prefered Jason Griffith as Sonic, but I have gotten used to the new guy^^
PikaLink91
You must have never heard Ryan Drummond voice Sonic, like, *EVER*.
Yeah all the team are working on it but i gotta say they doing very good and very high performance.
MastaGambit Seriously, this debate again? Ryan didn't want to relocate when 4Kids took over, so Jason was paid to emulate Ryan. (and speaking as someone who grew up with Jaleel's voice, Jason definitely improved as time went on. Hell, I thought he sounded better in Sonic-X than in the games, so really, I'd put it down to bad direction on SEGA's part.)
6:48 Multiple knuckles'? Well that's an episode I'm gonna watch
This game is looking more badass.
You guys wanted a Sonic Adventure 3. This is the closest you'll get!
No, the closest we'll get is Sonic 06.
This game might surpass Sonic 06's Adventure style.
huskiesghost Looks more Sonic Heroes to me.
7:53 Must... resist...dirty...joke
HA!
I had to play it over again to make sure I heard what I heard, lol!
That comment with your profile picture together is just priceless.
no other comments are necessary on this video you sir won it
I don't want it soon, I want it now!
XD
Can't wait for the show and game!
Must not give in to Sonic Cycle... Must resist... must not..... AAH FUCK IT! This will be goddamn amazing!
7:00 - Oh fuck, not this guy!
Honestly you guys should really be over this voice acting by now. :/
KoolCartoons This is the Sonic fandom; we never let things go :D
Adventure fan here. (Grew up on the Classics, got back in thanks to Adventure 2).
I didn't even _know_ about the VA switch from Ryan to Jason between Heroes and Shadow. Partly because in the games it didn't tell who voiced whom (just who were the VAs), and partly because I didn't care because I was kind of concentrating on the game itself.
As for the switch from Jason to Roger, I stayed away from playing new Sonic games since Unleashed was announced because none of them were what I wanted in a Sonic game (and not because of 06 because I actually _liked_ that game). Sonic Boom's the first time in about seven years where I'm genuinely looking forward to a new Sonic game, even as new information is announced. Do I like Roger's voice? Ehhh, it'll grow on me over time, I can guarantee that.
Remember, we went from Jaleel White to Ryan Drummond at one point; I'm sure we can adjust. (wishful thinking of course)
I know the fandom will never ever be pleased, but I for one, am! Looking forward to both the game AND the tv series! :D
Bullshit. Games like Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations sold well and are generally well-received. Just because you can't please EVERYONE in a fandom doesn't mean the fandom as a whole is unpleasable.
Okay.
Ryusuta Really, now?
Ryusuta What Sonic fanbase have you been paying attention to?
SonicZeroRider Remember, in ANY form of media, complaints are proclaimed more loudly than compliments. Sonic is no exception.
"Trying to do it in a sophisticated way"
"I sound like a fortune cookie, *munch*, but I don't taste like one..."
the voice acting sounds amazing
I couldn't even tell that Tails has a new voice actor for Sonic Boom. Colleen Villard does a great job!
wow this clears up all my skepticism with this whole sonic boom thing now. I'm actually looking forward to the T.V. show and the game now. I really dig what they are trying to do in the show so far from what i have seen, it doesn't seem horribly cheesy to the point where an adult like myself cant to sit back and watch and enjoy it
Is BalenaProductions complaining on this video? No?
Phew, good. The less of him the better.
The game still looks pretty decent, but I'm REALLY worried about it running at 30 fps. 60 fps is just what a sonic game should run at. The cartoon however, just listening to these voice takes made me laugh. I can't wait to see what happens with both.
God forbid someone should give their opinion on something. You act like he's telling you that you shouldn't like this game.
Oh he can have an opinion, he just needs to know when to shut his fucking mouth.
TheStolken
Good point and nice avatar BTW.Been watching Space Dandy?
TheStolken Big talk coming from a guy who honestly feels he has to mention someone else who has opinions you obviously don't agree with.
Garrett Simpson Yes
Nick Brand BAHAHAHAHAH, You have noticed that influx of spam he created, right? It practically became an in-joke.
Balenaproductions Oh hello.
Sonic back in Action Adventure... THANK YOU SEGA!
Looking forward to smashing badniks with Amy's mallet.
I can't fucking WAIT!!!
Seeing Mike Pollock voice act behind the scenes is always such a treat!!!
I loove Mike Pollock, best decision 4kids ever made to make him Eggman!
Oh man. It's great to get real behind the scenes information on this! You have no idea how long people have been waiting to see it! Now we have real information on the brand new Jak & Daxter game!
...I mean Sonic. Yeah. Sure.
haha lol.
i so saw that coming lol
What the...Roy Mustang/Guile is the new Knuckles on steroids?!
Sonic still has the voice of Chris Redfield.
In the past, I was used to seeing Cindy Robinson voicing as a serious toned character such as L.egretta the Quick or Zola, but not as a characteristics like Amy.
And Tails got a new voice actor who's name I don't recognize.
Update: I didn't realize Colleen O'Shaughnessey got married recently and changed her last name to Villard.
I can't wait to see what comes from the hard work of these guys. I'm more excited than ever about this game.
Still got mixed feeling about this game and series but I will admit I'm curious to see how things turn out... hope things turn out well
Ooooh boy
oooh girl
The dialogue from Knuckles seemed a bit stupid. I hope he doesn't end up being a clumsy oaf.
Still better than the Main Series.
Blazing Marth depends on the game really, he's fine in the more recent stuff, but he hasn't been appearing all that much
that whip cream line had me rolling laughing. i realize thats just my dirty mind not the intention of the joke but still
They changed him in clumsy oaf since Sonic X(it's like 10 years from now). You seriusly think they won't do this now?
Damn I need this show/game to be released NOW!!!! So awesome!!
I LOVE all the voice actors in this tv show/game. Cindy Robinson is waayyyyy too underrated. She is really good as a voice.
I want moar gameplay! Apart from that, I'm liking everything.
I can't wait. They basically said everything that I wanted for Amy and Tails. My god I always wanted this for them. I hope they can pull it off.
Overall I'm looking forward but... you can't really excuse Knuckles.
This may be the greatest year for Sonic since 2003
What's the knuckles beef for I mean he was always a tough guy so it makes sense his exterior matches he's interior don't you get it ?.. I like the new redesign it was shocking but they will not always look like this why can't fans put this in the back of thier minds ..
2003 brought SADX...
Knuckles looks like he can actually brawl now.
360seas2021 "I mean he was always a tough guy so it makes sense his exterior matches he's interior don't you get it"
Since when did tough guy mean heavyweight champion? There are guys out there that can break bricks with their hands and they're smaller than I am! I always thought knuckles' strength came from the spikes on his fist and his fighting technique rather than raw physical power. I mean isn't this the same knuckles that's supposed to be able to glide through the air? Oh man, would that be hilarious to see with this design.
360seas2021 It seems out of place.
I'm not really bothered and I hope this Knuckles will stay in Sonic Boom
Personally I think he was at his best as character in Sonic X.
Mike Pollock is just pure awesome!! Boom is also looking promising a lot
Thank you.
I never knew that Knuckles can suddenly turn from a serious person into a practical joker within two games!
I gotta say, I'm really looking forward to this!! :-) Both the game and the TV series! And personally, I love the new character designs :3
But it is sooo surreal to see the voices of Sonic & Co. coming out of real life people xD
Alternate dimension Knuckles? Anyone else thinks that regular Knuckles will make an appearance and end up meeting his beefed up muscular version of himself in the show lol
Or maybe regular Sonic will shave Boom Sonic's arms. XD
God, I can't take it no more!!!!
I'm tired of waiting!!! I want to see the show and play the game soo BAD!!
(wrecks everything)
Your replacing everything you wrecked. Besides E3 isn't too far now so just wait.
The voice actors looked like they were having fun.
THIS IS GOING TO BE EPIC!!!!!!
Oh my god, I haven't felt this excited for a Sonic game in years! Everything about it looks so adorable.
Yeah... A LOT more excited about this game now FOOS! Looks like Sonic will FINALLY make a proper evolution to 3D that Sonic Adventure was supposed to be :)
i agree Mizzah Tee change is not bad when its properly implemented =)
Sonic Adventure was still pretty good.
MasterShadic2
Yeah it was. Still have my Dreamcast original. Just wasn't quite the Mario 64 of the series I was hoping for.
Fair enough. I guess it's not for everyone.
Really excited for this, and I want it to do well! Looking forward to the show and the game :D
Mike Pollock is my new hero XD
Awwww. Thanks!
@@itsamike you are our hero
@@MoGoBo97MovieMaker Thank you so much.
Mike Pollock your welcome
Love the game concept art! Also nice voice actors!
Hopefully it's not joking from start to end. I want it to get more and more serious when you progress in the game (assuming there'll be something dangerious going on). I especially want knuckles to get more serious.
Rest in pepperoni wishes...
By the way, THIS is how you actually record voice acting. In person, so you're practically having the conversation with the other characters as you record.
That said, Amy still has her Minnie Mouse voice, which is really irritating.
***** her sonic x voice I thought was perfect her voice actor right now is just plain awful it's like the most generic voice possible
Actually, her voice seems like it might be slightly better this time around compared to Sonic Lost World. If what we hear in this video is a "deliberately fake acting" voice, than her normal voice might actually be listenable.
IMO Sonic Heroes had the best Amy, though. Even if Colours, Generations, and Lost World do every other character far better than the rest of the series.
No she doesn't, it sounds like they fixed it.
That was a pretty awesome and insightful vid!Love how Eggman's voice actor ended it on such a good note lol!
Thank you.
Thank you, Ryan.
Mike Pollock Your welcome!
This really sounds like a good idea! Good going SEGA! Can't wait to see the end product ^^
Oh Mike Pollock you always seem to put a smile on my face :-)
Amy's Level design and pipe swinging platforming has deep hints of the Werehog gameplay about it.
As long as she's faster than the werehog and we don't have to go through slow block pushing or strength tests or bullshit like that, I'm really looking forward to her gameplay.
Yeah, I agree. That and the endless stream of fight ups that went with it. Fighting enemies can be cool and all, but when they lump it together on you TIME after TIME, then yeah, it becomes a bit boring for me. If she can more more freely and in good control movement, then yes, she could just well be the Werehog we could have had! I'm not saying I hated the werehog stages, I just thought that some areas of his gameplay were weak, that's all.
The DarkFox
She also seems to take out enemies pretty fast, for example - The clip with her spin-attack. And I believe they said somewhere that they're trying to improve the difficulty of the game as it goes on without just making enemies have more health. So I think it will be fine.
Plus, the werehog levels were really long. While I can't say how long the levels in this game are, I doubt they'll make them last for 30 minutes like some of Unleashed's levels did.
I'm actually greatly looking forward to this game. Because apart from the exploration elements, I'm also liking the difficulty improving as time goes on thing, as you say. I think this game is going to be a good highlight of my life.
*****
Um, actually Stephen said that the levels are around 1 hour long.
However, he also said that there would be a mix of speed and combat.
Mike Pollock looks like he is having a blast!!!
Huge Congrats to Sega! This is looking absolutely amazing!
Not amazing anymore now isn't it?
@@ChaosSpeed24 Well, 8 years after I can still comfortably say these are the best designs and the best humor they've had, especially if considering the show!
@@TuVaisDeVela Unfortunately, the games were disappointing.
Little did we know it was gonna be another sonic 06 disaster..
But the show is still great though and that opinion is still fresh
I'm not really into cartoons much anymore and I haven't been too pleased with the modern generation of gaming, but I can surely say that both the Sonic Boom game and the show have gotten me super hyped. I think Sega outsourcing their mascot to former Naughty Dog developers is a kick-ass idea. I think that I now have an irresistible urge to get a Wii U. Other games for the system I look forward to are X and Bayonetta 2.
Cool, I got a kick out of seeing them voice act. Amy sounds a little bit better I'll admit.
i like her voice
its official, im now hyped as hell for sonic boom ^^ cant wait til it comes out
This is gonna rock hard
Looks awesome! Can't wait!
keep up the good work sega
Is nice to see the old sega testing and trying new things as before
this is sega, do what no one else does
No offense to Cindy... but that Amy voice is bad... really bad. Bad enough to make me miss the 4kids voice actress. It's most likely the voice directors fault though. This honestly sounds like a horrible Minnie Mouse rip off that would make most newcomers change the channel in a heartbeat. I'm not saying to get rid of Cindy, but see if she can pull off a different kind of voice for Amy.
Roger... sounds different here. This is probably the most mellow Sonic voice I've ever heard. Still not a fan for his tone of voice for Sonic. But I can tolerate it. I still feel it was a bad idea to get someone who is known for some pretty manly voices (Ezio, Chris Redfield) to voice someone like Sonic. Feel free to bash me here... but I feel Josh Keaton from the likes of the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon would be a really cool choice if they had to get someone new. Or just go back to Ryan Drummond (yes I know what happened around Generations and how he was supposed to come back but couldn't thanks to union fees)
The new Tails from what I've heard sounds just like Kate Higgins (so far), no complaints here. Anything's better than the 4kids Tails voice, and the direction Kate Higgins took is probably the best thing to go off of. So I'm gonna welcome Colleen Villard with an open mind.
Travis is pretty decent as Knuckles and he sounds better here. I miss the knuckles voice from Sonic Heroes though. I also don't like how Knuckles is still retaining the status of "The dumb one." It started slightly sometime before generations and now it's horribly obvious here. You can make Knuckles funny without making him go full moron.
Mike Pollock IS Eggman, I can't see anyone else doing it. I hope he stays as Eggman... forever.
The designs on the characters themselves, I don't mind the accessories, however that sports tape is still slightly obnoxious looking, I feel if they tones it down a bit it would look better. Fight me all you want on this but I know some pretty dedicated athletes that say Sonic's sports tape on his shoes looks like a 5 year old did it. The scarf is pretty cool though. I feel the blue arms though... need to be changed back. No this is not "GREEN EYES" all over again, I just honestly feel it's a bad design choice, especially if the goal for this show is to introduce new people and children to the Sonic franchise. This also goes for Knuckle's new beefy look. Also... the character models for the game look silly compared to the TV SHOW COUNTER PART. Please fix them BigRedButton!
To say the least, I'm happy this isn't replacing the main stream sonic, I'm just praying the final product won't turn into something like "Crash Mind over Mutant" all over again. I will give the new game a try and check out the tv show when it comes out.
I'm pretty hype about cartoon to be honest, the with the whole alternate dimension Knuckles bit. Just makes me wonder if alternate dimension Knuckles is the Knuckles everyone knows or are they gonna put actual echidna. That would be actual pretty fucking hilarious.
Also the whole dialogue about "standing under a rock that about to fall" sounds like a trap Sonic and his friends made to lure some robot that probably spying on them.
Sounds awesome! I CAN NOT wait till it comes out; the game and show. But i have one question though, why is Eggman's eyes blackish green? lol just curious.
And i just hope with all this comedy, not that i dont like comedy, i just hope that this show wont be dumb like some of the shows "comedy" shows that's on Disney, and Nickelodeon.
But still, i cannot wait for this, im so ready! xD
Okay Sega, You've earned my respect once again, can't wait for the game!
