(Sonic Boom) New TV-Show & Game series.

I'll try to find a better source later to link you guys to fairly soon.


Dave Polsky

His credits range from features (Scary Movie, Scary Movie 2) to animation (South Park, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Sonic Boom, Class of 3000) to sitcoms (Pair of Kings) to late night (The Keenen Ivory Wayans Show) to daytime (The Donny and Marie Show) to sketch comedy (Frank TV, Cedric the Entertainer Presents). Add that to the fact that he got his start in game shows (Singled Out) and you have a textbook case of a) versatility or b) terrible career management... take your pick. Dave created and executive produced Disney's The Buzz on Maggie, in addition to writing other pilots for Disney Channel, FOX, CBS, Castle Rock Entertainment, and Nickelodeon.


Moments ago at his Trotcon Q&A Panel, Polsky revealed more information about “Sonic Boom” – we're still waiting to see if our source can elaborate more, but early reports indicate that it is a “Pony-esque reboot of the cartoon series”. What, exactly, that means is currently a mystery – Sonic has had no shortage of cartoons over the years, and each one of them involves completely different settings and supporting characters. Any one of them could be rebooted, and it's worth mentioning that one of Polsky's contributions to MLP was, apparently, writing music for an episode, so not even Sonic Underground is out of the question at this time.

UPDATE: Our source caught up with Dave Polsky back stage after the panel and was able to get a little more information out of him regarding “Sonic Boom”. All Polsky would say is that it involves Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy Rose, and would lean towards “comedic in style”, making it sound unconnected to any previous Sonic cartoon.

Seems a new Sonic The Hedgehog series is being worked on. *mew

Supposedly it'll be a comedy based around Sonic.Tails.Knuckles and Amy... No telling who else will make their way in the show yet. And idea if the show will be hand-drawn or CGI yet.

But what we do know is that one of the writers who worked on MyLittlePony and who also worked on some other shows like ScaryMovie2 will be a writer for this show... Make of that what you will.

As I am a super mega huge Sonic fan. I do look forward to to series and pray that it'll be good... Because the last Sonic cartoon "SonicX" that was made 10 years ago, was really horrible. :I

I know there's not much info yet. So not much to talk about. But hopefully we'll hear more soon. *mew

PS: I hope that MetalSonic And Blaze make their way into the show somehow~

Only Sonic animated series I ever liked was Sonic the Hedgehog "SatAM":

That said, I'm not so sure about the new series' having a comedic bent; not that Sonic was ever 100% serious and I may just be bias towards SatAM's darker tone.

Sonic the Hedgehog, the iconic video game character who has brought his trademark speed and attitude to four TV series and more than 70 video games, is returning to television in his first-ever CG animated series in the fall 2014. The action packed comedy series aimed at children 6-11 will debut first on Cartoon Network in the U.S. and on CANAL J and GULLI in France, with a global rollout to follow. The initial order of 52 eleven-minute episodes is co-produced by SEGA of America Inc. and Genao Productions.
Sonic Boom is a character-driven comedy that leaves a trail of robot wreckage in its smoldering wake. The series centers on Sonic, his best friend and sidekick, Tails, their never-ending search for adventure, and their battles with Sonic’s arch-nemesis, Dr. Eggman. Rounding out the ensemble are fan favorites Knuckles and Amy Rose, plus a rogue’s gallery of enemies—some familiar to Sonic fans and some brand-new.

Those redesigns for this series look so bloody terrible. I know it's only their shadows... But honestly it's still enough to go on. It's Loonatics Unleashed all over again... :<

Why can't we get 1 Sonic series (Not counting Sonic X) Where they use the correct game designs? ... Sigh. So disappointed... But here's to hoping that at least the stories will be fun regardless. *mew

Well there was a rumour about a reboot in 2014, they could be based on new correct game designs.

I hope not. If those end up being the new game designs. That's even worse news... ( ._.)

Seems like the Sonic series is getting rebooted after all!



https://twitter.com/dadarocks

"Tada.... @SEGA introduces Sonic Boom!!! If you're wondering over the years over 75 billion rings!"

"Sonic Boom will be the next generation of @sega's vision for one it's most beloved characters."

"Sonic Boom will lead to a new video game (on game stations & mobile), cartoon show, toys from Tomy."

"New character looks for sonic, knuckles, tails and amy. Sonic & Knuckles both now feature sports tape. Tails has a tool belt."

You Sonic people are getting off lightly with these new designs, as a Crash fanboy I had to deal with this load of ugly old balls (http://www.crashmania.net/crash-of-the-titans/art/promo/images/cott/art/promo/titans5.jpg) a few years ago 2014-02-06 19:57:00

The crew has a new look, and the game ties into the show

At the "Year of Sonic" event, Sega has revealed Sonic Boom -- a new sub-franchise in the Sonic world. The new brand will not only sport the previously announced TV show, but two new games on the Wii U and 3DS. This is the last part of the exclusive deal with Nintendo.

The Wii U game will be headed up by developer Big Red Button (led by a former Naughty Dog art director), and the 3DS version will be handled by Sanzaru Games (the studio that developed the new Sly Cooper). The games will serve as a prequel to the CG TV show.

We didn't get hands on, but based on the footage we've seen of the Wii U version, the worlds look massive, and projectile combat seems to be in. In other words, Sonic Boom is looking a lot like Ratchet & Clank right now. It's also important to note that the CryEngine 3 will be used on the Wii U. Sega of America president and COO John Chen stressed that "Sonic Boom will not be replacing the original franchise."

Thank goodness.

Edit: More info and video of the TV series.

The show so far doesn't look bad to me.... The Tie-in game on the other-hand looks prrrrrrretty bad... at least in my opinion.

Edit: http://www.polygon.com/2014/2/6/5387184/why-sega-handed-sonic-over-to-western-studios-and-gave-him-a-scarf

Basically, This SonicBoom sub-series is indeed pretty much only made for the western user-base. And in no way will be released in japan. Which again means the main normal sonic series will be left un-effected at least for now.

I like the new designs but their legs just seem, too long

And whoa, Knuckles seems have gotten really buff. I really don't have a problem with this. It's probably because I'm not used to it.

Robotnik (or eggman) seems to be fine from the trailer.

I really like from what i've seen of the show. It looks really great to me.

And I don't mind the new character designs now. I even kinda like them now. But That's because I know they are not replacing the normal Sonic series. Enjoying this as a shoot off branch is really fun in itself for me.

The game doesn't look good to me still, but time will tell. *mew

Also... I really wish they would had got a new voice actor for Boom Amy. :S

Wait..they chose THOSE scenes to be read by voiceactors for the video? But that dialoge is HIDEOUS! If it's that corny all the way through then I don't even know what to say. Do you guys honestly like it? xD2014-02-28 18:04:00

Thats just a preeptive get out clause incase this fails, if this is successful it will be the only design going forwards.

I did. But I really like silly goofy wacky comedy.

Really doubt it. This Sonic was mainly just made for the west. And Sega of japan really doesn't care for Sonic content that they did didn't completely make themselves. It would have to do insanely good for Sega to want it to fully take over. *mew

Company explains the concepts of some of the Boom character designs.
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/sega-explains-sonic-and-knuckle-s-new-look/1100-6418328/

Also Dr.Eggman's Boom design is pretty cool I say. Did take me awhile to get used to this design not being Fat like the others tho.

While i may be a Sonic fan... I have to agree. But it's not just her, most of the girl sonic characters have gotten really bad voices even if they are a otherwise likeable character. :T *mew

New info for the games.

WiiU version.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0tCCjYxSU4

3DS version.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR1YSt26O1E

The good thing is they seemed to have upgraded the ingame character models which is nice since the last versions were butt ugly.

Been awhile since I last updated. But news was little slow and not many seem interested of the new series on this site.

Here's a new trailer of the TV-Show.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT0oqTr3iGo
The show will be on cartoon network on November 8th.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYlEF0sLoJ0
New trailer of the games.

And personally I decided to let pointless silly fan uptightness & angst go, And just have fun. This is just suppose to be light hearted entertainment afterall. So i'm going to enjoy it all for what it is even if it's not everything i would like the series to be.

The TV-Show looks awesome and the games look fun if you play and enjoy them casually. Tho I'll wait to pick up the games till they are cheap I think.

And with MetalSonic and Shadow in the new boom branch... All who left I want to see now is Blaze the cat.

I was just surfing that Brazilian blog that I'm really fond of, TheConceptArtBlog (http://theconceptartblog.com/2014/10/22/artes-de-sonic-boom-por-erwin-madrid/), and I noticed artwork from Sonic Boom was featured! The art looks amazing.

I just watched the first 2 episodes of SonicBoom! And it was AWESOME! best Sonic TV series yet imo! and that's saying something as i've been following the series since the early 90s. =D

I truly am adoring this show!

It just needs a better time slot and much more advertisement~

Yeah, this is turning out to be really good!

Although I'm not surprised that CN gave it a cruddy schedule. I mean...

...how could they put ANYTHING before their precious pokemon movie, Teen Titans Go! marathon, and their showing of Shark Tail? IT WOULD BE BLASPHEMY!
:U

But yeah, I adore Amy in this! Liking her a LOT more than in the games where she's like "OH SONIC MARRY ME AND OH THERE'S MORE HEDGEHOGS THEY ALL MUST BE SONIIICCC"

You may know already, but just to say, This Amy in SonicBoom is a different Amy, in fact all the characters in SonicBoom are different versions of the normal Sonic cast. SonicBoom is a new alternate universe made by the US Sonic team. And this alternate Sonic series won't replace the normal series which is made by the japan Sonic team... While the love obsessed version of Amy may be annoying to a lot of people... it's actually considered cute in japan. different tastes and all that jazz ya know. which is why for SonicBoom they changed some of the characters in ways they hope that western fans would enjoy better. *mew

Yeah, I figured that was what they were doing, and I'm rather glad they did that. :hero:

...and Japan likes a lot of things that are considered weird and abnormal here, but that's a different topic entirely. :U

Anyway, is every episode going to air on Saturday mornings from here on out? IF that's the case, I gotta set my alarm. I can't afford to sleep through it again. |Bc

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this game isn't going to win many GOTY awards.

Sadly the SonicBoom games are worse then many expected... And that's saying something as we expected them to be pretty bad tbh. Honestly the only thing good about SonicBoom is the TV show... And I have to say the TV show is really good... But the games... Err not so much... *mew

Here's a list of stuff I found and put together that showcases how bad the game is.

First a joke somebody made.
http://i.imgur.com/HIE9r9w.gif

Now onto the real stuff.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXMIYm3KJnU


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJNgZymZX_M


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSxzOxGb_bE

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. TBH It's like the game never left alpha...

As a warning to everyone I suggest not buying the games until they drop to 20$... I know that's when I'll wait to buy them myself.

Here's to hoping that Japan-SonicTeam's game coming out next year will be very good... They been working a game in secret since Sonic generations. However sadly the first game from the US-SonicTeam is a bad joke, SonicBoom Wii U version is basically Sonic-06 #2... *mew
