Needless to say, fans haven’t been thrilled with Sonic’s new “Sonic Boom” redesign… but at least that scarf gives him some new ways to accessorize!

Did you know the site has over 4,000 video game themed lolz?
And then the world of Sonic contained a higher concentration of salt than a salt lick.
Knuckles.
You are referring to Knuckles' design that people are unpleased with. Sonic's is a cute joke but Knuckles looks like someone transplanted his head onto a piece of fan art.
Still, Knuckles is the worst offender:

And it's a Wii U exclusive.

I feel bad for posting twice before anyone else comment's but people gotta know.

We all knew it was happening.
(For the record, I like Knuckles' new design, mainly because it's hilariously fitting)
Watchdogs? More like WatchHOGS! Get it? Watchhogs? Watchhedgehogs? Sonic the Watchhedg- eh fuck it.
From what I just read in an interview with the developers, some notes:
>Sonic Boom is being designed as both a cartoon and a game at the same time
>Both are being made by a Western developer, and at least one person in charge who previously worked on Uncharted. Hence the scard, it's Nathan Drake's
>It's aimed so far at a Western audience, there is no planned Japanese release.
>The game is confirmed to have more focus on narrative and combat.
>The game is confirmed to have up to Four player co-op
>the villain is "more dark and foreboding than Eggman"
With all this talk about Sonic Boom, you'd think there isn't a joke in the submission somewhere.
Remember kids, change whether it'd be good or bad, will always make people salty.
KNUCKLES HAS FINGERS!
FINGERS!!!!!
Also I feel awkward that sonic has both arms blue now.
So long as this keeps the Wii U on life support long enough for Super Smash Bros to make it to release, I could live with Knuckles regularly shooting up with 'roids.
1: Sonic's arms were originally flesh colored because in the original games they had to differentiate his arms from his body. Now we see him on a 3D plane all the time, it's not such a big deal. It makes more sense for him to have fur on his arms.
2: I hope so.
3: Kinda.
4: Because we're XTREME
6: Shhhhhh
I say this as a fan of him, but I think Sega, or Team Sonic, or whoever, needs to take this franchise out back and shoot it dead. It's had its run, but its out of ideas, out of creativity and out of gas. Just. Stop. It had a peak with Sonic Generations, but they aren't going to be able to make lightning strike twice. Please move on to something people would possibly care about rather than try to revive failed franchise again and again and again.

WAIT
HOW IS NOBODY ELSE SEEING THE BIGGER PROBLEM HERE?!
DOES NOBODY ELSE REALIZE WHAT HORRENDOUS NEW BASIS THIS SPAWNS FOR ORIGINAL CHARACTERS?
Honestly the knuckles redesign is the ONLY thing that's bothering me.
I'm more confused on how Sega got away with the name of their game. And now all I can think about is what they'll be calling their inevitable sequel…
Sonic Boom 2: Here's Looking At You, Guile.

Being a longtime Sonic fan I will spare you from my rantings. So I'll merely sum up my current emotions:
Frustration
Exasperation
Rage
The need to say as many variations of Fuck as the human language will allow me.
My first Sonic Game was Shadow The Hedgehog. My second was Sonic 2006 and my 3rd was Sonic Unleashed.
I still have faith in this franchise yet.
