Sonic Boom TV Ratings – Season 2 Week 6

10 Comments

1. Well, maybe the CN can get its act together by the time the winter hiatus ends.
   It’s wishful thinking, but with the CN losing Pokémon there’s a better time slot opening up Saturday morning that Sonic Boom might fill.

2. Here’s hoping that we at least get to see those promised video game character appearances before CN completely screws over the show. I really wanted to see if Blaze would show up. And Big along with Chaotix too.

   1. We may probably see Rouge, there is an episode where Sticks thinks there is a thief in town. Not sure, but it’s possible.

   2. I really wanted to see Blaze as well, I’m a little afraid that she would turn her into a one domensional joke character but I thing is worth the shot.

      But all in all I just hope she and many others appear in the new Sonic 2017 game, I know its dtifticult to just put 6+ characters in every game but I would be glad if she is at least a NPC important to the plot.

      1. After seeing what they did to Shadow, you want them to ruin again one of the best character from the saga?
         The Chaotix may fit with the Boom comedy style, but Blaze… no, just no.

            Thinking it twice I agree with you on that one, Blaze could work in comedy because of her volatile personality but Sonic Boom only features situational comedy, not character driven.

            I guess if she appeared, judging by her princess status they would make her a stereotypical mean rich girl, acting pricey all the time, probably something like Pacifica from Gravity Falls and not even that good, yeah she would be better in the main series, I just hope they plan to use it again sometime.

            Seriously the ‘only Sonic playable’ thing is growing old, not to mention more games nowadays are embracing the multiple characters playable with interconnecting paths like GTAV, Resident Evil 6, Batman Arkham series and Yakuza 0, is time for Sega to stop listening to reviews from 10 years ago and start listening to fans and common sense again.

   I agree that the “only Sonic playable” thing is a serious issues for the game series, In fact, I still do not forgive Generation for this problem, I can’t describe Generation as a “tribute” game for the whole series when Sonic has ceased to be “only Sonic” since Sonic 2.

   As for Boom it’s another issues, it is only my personal opinions but I conssider Boom to be one of the most major threat to the brand image of the blue blur as a whole, just like if Sega was trying to appeal to a younger new audience while trying to insult and replace the old fanbase (both the classic and modern fanbase), in fact, like if Boom was taking a serious pleasure to destroy the very own identity and attitude of “what is” Sonic.
   I might be wrong, and I really hope that I am wrong, but this is what i feel.

   1. Agreed, I really hope Project 2017 features more playable characters other than Sonic (and Classic), if is anything to go by at least Sonic Mania features 3 playable characters and the the Sonic Boom games feature 4 and 5 (don’t like the Boom games or the universe as a whole but having multiple playable characters could be a good sign coming from Sega).

      Though I’m really hoping that if they include more playable characters they can be played in the same stages as Sonic, each with their own abilities of course and with their own story mode.

      1. Its needed though. Having multiple playable characters takes up resource and time that Sonic Team usually barley has. So far they’ve never really done it in a way that has been really well worked out. I genuinely like Adventure and Adventure 2 but I’d be delusional if I said a lot of the extra characters felt tacked on and their unique styles of gameplay weren’t the most well thought out.

         If they were to go back to making 2D games along side their 3D games like when they first came to Nintendo and had console games along side Akinori Nishiyama directed series like Advance and Rush again then I’d have no problems with this, but I think its too much to ask them to do it in 3D and the quality of the games to me has gone up since they just focused on Sonic as playable.

      2. It’s kind of like imagining how much more solid a game Unleashed would have been if it had been only Day stages. I don’t hate the Werehog, its disappointing even though the Yakuza director was a producer the action doesn’t feel as detailed as Yakuza at all. But it was clear they didn’t have enough time or resource to work on another character like that. But by comparison it worked out a lot better than trying to have 9 like 06 or 6 like Adventure.
