Thread: Sonic boom producer explains why we haven’t had a whole lot of news about the game

Sonic Boom producer Stephen Frost has revealed to Sonic Stadium why the development team have been so quiet regarding Sonic Boomfor the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. Frost says that the developers have had to work carefully with partners and things need to be planned and organized carefully. Hopefully they can break the silence at E3 in Los Angeles next month.


“I’ve been asked to chime in a bit here so I’ll do what I can to share some info with you all. I’ve said it a few times in the past, but there were key reasons why we announced the Sonic Boom initiative when we did. Along with that, there are a lot of partners involved with Sonic Boom so we have to be mindful of their timelines and requirements for their respective fields. It’s not just about a game anymore… This is a large group effort so any announcements and information shared publically needs to really be planned and organized carefully. We need to make sure that things we reveal don’t impact other parts and vice versa.”


“I completely appreciate the fact that you fans are hungry for info specific to the games, I really do. And that’s why we all work these endless late nights and weekends… It’s to get all the pieces in place for when the campaign does really kick off. We still have a ways until the cartoon and game launch, as well as the new toy line, so we need to pace all the info appropriately. And it all starts as we head into E3. You’ll learn more, for sure, but not everything. And the reveal of new assets and info should be more frequent from that point on. But trust me when I say there is no lack of effort by anyone involved with Sonic Boom. This is, by far, the biggest united effort I have personally ever seen Sega be involved in. We want to share everything with everyone because we are so excited… We just can’t… Yet.”


“So, please be a bit more patient. I’m working on screens and commenting on releases so stuff is coming. We will even have a bit of a surprise in there for you, as well as the first info and assets for the 3DS version. There is quite a bit of cool stuff ahead so hang in there.”

so it's time to nintendo to solve this little matter =)
they can do it right =)

Even if those come out in fall and not spread it out, it's still a solid block of releases, and the free months would give me time to purchase through the backlog.

pretty much o.o

Please understand that we must please understand to you, please understand.

Hope it turns out ok. I'm interested, but need to see some actual gameplay demos/ footage hopefully from E3 to know for sure if invested. Good luck Sonic. It's been a bit hit and miss.

It sounds like they're spending more time figuring out how and when to tell us stuff than they are actually working on the game and cartoon.

all i know is when i get this game im expecting to have knuckles punch boulders and and take steroids like chris redfield did.


also im expecting haymakers from him too, even the super pimp slaps.



now if only sonics VA was voicing Knuckles, it would be a matchmade in heaven lol.

yeah knuckles better be punching some boulders in this game
