RUMOR: Sonic Runners Adventure A Boom Mobile Game That Changed After Rise Of Lyric’s Release?

14 Comments

1. I wonder if when the game releases, TCRF will dig through the files and find unused Sonic Boom models and assets.

2. So… this don’t mean that Sonic Runners Adventure is a brand new game? If don’t, could be the original Sonic Runners but with the Sonic Boom models? I had a bad felling about this. I tough they would use the Sonic Runners original engine, don’t a brand new game in 2D but nothing related to original Runners. Of course, maybe they changed their minds during development of the game and choose build a new version of Runners.

3. “Boom game”

   And just like that, interest is gone. Next.

   1. Did you read the text? It’s not a “Sonic Boom” game anymore and when they changed the ideia of concept to do a game with the main series, they probably back to zero. There’s no way you make a Sonic main series game from a Sonic Boom game.

      1. Gonna be completely honest, I skimmed it. I took what I read to mean that the game would be Boom centered still, but had changed focus in some other way.

   2. Same, give us the offline version of the original Sonic Runners would be more tempting

      1. This is. And more.

   3. I dropped all interest when it was another Runners iOS infinite runner game.
      I really don’t care about these games since they’re honestly a dime a dozen.

      1. Agreed. Most of these app games are nothing more than carnival games in your pocket: instant adrenaline rush, and then the novelty wears off, and it is nothing but mundane and monotonous. I really don’t understand the appeal. Here’s the thing. The majority of people who I see pay for these app games, buy them, maybe play them maybe a couple of times, and then they never ever touch them again. That isn’t much of a memorable or fun experience when it is so fleeting and trivial. How about a real game with a bit of depth and imagination like Sonic CD port on mobile? Now, that there was a real mobile game actually worth paying the few dollars for!

   4. You realize this isn’t a Boom game at all anymore, right? It’s like hating on Sonic because they wanted to give him a girlfriend and put him in a music band. It’s meaningless. Because they went an entirely different direction.

4. “At this point, it’s pretty safe to say that the branch is dead. And this may be why SEGA does not promote the cartoon much anymore.”

   Ok no, did we forget the fact that they have had the boom cast do live tweeting during the show, twice even? Or are we just going to assume that they did that out of the kindness of hearts? What about the tumblr promoting each new episode each week? Have you even bothered to look at any of Tomy’s new catalogs to see if there still selling new merchandise?

   These are the questions that seemed to be clouded whenever these rumors come up. You can’t just assume that a rumor means that everything is (and I’ll use your own words if you don’t mind) gone or neglected. That like assuming that a child will throw out a beloved teddy bear the moment they notice it becoming ragged. While I can’t say the same applies to Sonic Boom, I can see where the contradictions lie. Yes, SEGA could pull out of Cartoon Network’s oppressive reign, but that does not mean there aren’t going to be heavy consequences in doing so.

   For example, suppose if SEGA wanted to put the cartoon on Dinsey XD or the Hub (which is now called Discovery Family). They would have to approach Cartoon Network and have them agree to terminate the contract that they have with them, then set up a new contract with the other network. That is all dependent on whether or not their contract allows them to leave and work for another competitor in the time it takes for the next season to show up after the last one ended. Unfortunately, most licensing contracts don’t allow that, and I’ll bet you the contract that SEGA has with CN doesn’t allow that either. So they got to play by CN’s rules until the contract runs out, and CN gets to be the puppet master because it controls the network.

   So unless you think SEGA is just doing this because they want the flames to slowly die out make every fan and anybody who works on the show feel like shit and out of a job, then this is how its going to be. They got put into a shitty situation where escape will just make things worse. Same goes for Archie Sonic, which is why I want you to stop persisting in trying to put these things into your little negative space. The only way I’ll ever believe that Sonic Boom or Archie are completely gone is if SEGA officially says so, or when Mannheimer considers it to be true. He seems to have a lot more credibility not to blow things out of proportions than you do.

   1. “did we forget the fact that they have had the boom cast do live tweeting during the show, twice even? Or are we just going to assume that they did that out of the kindness of hearts?” Yes, because that is exactly what they have been doing. SEGA has nothing to do with the Boom cast live-tweeting.

      “What about the tumblr promoting each new episode each week?” Yes, but their Tumblr is the worst place they could do this at. Everyone follows them through their YouTube channel, Twitter, and Facebook. Not Tumblr. It’s far from enough.

      “Have you even bothered to look at any of Tomy’s new catalogs to see if there still selling new merchandise?” Yes. There’s hardly any. Once in a blue moon, there’s some news about something, but there’s hardly any merch coming out anymore.

      “You can’t just assume that a rumor means that everything is (and I’ll use your own words if you don’t mind) gone or neglected.” It does when everything else seems to pointing to this conclusion. Do you really think I’m saying this based on just a rumor? Because if so, I don’t think you’re in any position to critique me for “forgetting things’ or “assuming things”.

      “For example, suppose if SEGA wanted to put the cartoon on Dinsey XD or the Hub (which is now called Discovery Family). They would have to approach Cartoon Network and have them agree to terminate the contract that they have with them, then set up a new contract with the other network. That is all dependent on whether or not their contract allows them to leave and work for another competitor in the time it takes for the next season to show up after the last one ended. Unfortunately, most licensing contracts don’t allow that, and I’ll bet you the contract that SEGA has with CN doesn’t allow that either. So they got to play by CN’s rules until the contract runs out, and CN gets to be the puppet master because it controls the network.” Speculation. Notice that I said that this may be why. Not that this is why.

      “Same goes for Archie Sonic, which is why I want you to stop persisting in trying to put these things into your little negative space.” Your post was really good. And then I get to this last paragraph and it was ruined. Never have I said that Archie Sonic comics were dead. In a criticial situation, yes, but not dead. It would help if, before saying I have a “little negative space”, you know what the contents of that “space” was.

      “The only way I’ll ever believe that Sonic Boom or Archie are completely gone is if SEGA officially says so, or when Mannheimer considers it to be true.” And guess what? There’s no telling if SEGA will do so. Ever. Have you been paying attention to the PR? Also, you are aware that Matt and I agree on a lot in regards to SEGA and Sonic, right? Especially in regards to the fanbase, Mania, and Forces. If you feel Boom and Archie are still alive, by all means. No one is telling you not to, even though you seem to have a problem with me speculating the opposite. Which is quite ironic, to say the least. I’m not even sure why you’re bringing Matt into this in the first place.

      “He seems to have a lot more credibility not to blow things out of proportions than you do.” Blowing what out of proportion? Speculation and conclusions I’m reaching based on SEGA’s behavior in the last few years? And Archie’s behavior? And PR behavior? If you don’t agree with that, no problem, but I don’t reach conclusions and speculate recklessly. Also, for someone criticizing me for “blowing things out of proportion”, you’re not really proving your case at all by doing the same to what I’ve been saying. You’re overreacting. Calm down. lol

5. Anyone remember this clue from a year ago? 😉

   In the tumblr tags of the latest clues for the upcoming Sonic game, it mentions “verse un, line dix et line douze”

   Lines ten and twelve of the first verse of Nonsense appear to be a general Sonic reference and a Sonic Adventure 2 reference, respectively:

   “And don’t you think that I’m a runner”
   “Shooting at the moon to bring the sun up”
