Ogilvie Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Earlier this morning it broke that several SEGA staff, from community team members such as Aaron Webber to game producers, had all made a flight into New York City based on their social media. The exact reasons they were there resulted in speculation abound, but it looks like we have finally found out. In a recent video by Machinima (which has since been taken down, likely due to being a leak), a copy of a flyer was displayed that indicates there will be a special event for the press in New York City on February 8th from 12 PM to 3 PM discussing Sonic’s future. SEGA hails 2014 as the “Year of Sonic” and promises it will be a “Renaissance” for the franchise. What’s notable is the poster says all information and photos are under embargo until after the event; that is, they can’t be shown until it is over. The good news is this means we can very likely look forward to some sort of news tomorrow, thanks to this event being leaked by one of the individuals who were invited. Here is a screencap of the flyer from the original video. There’s no telling what will be at this event, but we can presume that it must be something big if SEGA is bold enough to talk of a “renaissance” and was even trying to keep it a secret. Sonic Boom 2014? More cartoon details? The Sonic film? The 2014 game? Legend of Zelda DLC? What do you think the Year of Sonic will entail? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MykonosFan Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I can't wait for my favorite franchise to either completely change right before my eyes, or be entirely unaffected by this cartoon. I'm not even sure I want to speculate or put hope into anything, this is just kind of a looming feel I've got. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFlash Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'm not sure if everyone remebers, but wasn´t there some sort of "reboot" planned for the Sonic series in 2014? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MykonosFan Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I was expecting discussion to explode here, and all there is is a drawing of buff Knuckles, I love it. The moment they said it was a sub-franchise I was absolutely fine with it. Bring on Boom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ink Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Omg Rister. Shit. XD Despite the fact that I've pretty much made peace with Knuckles' redesign for this, what would you call it, sub-franchise? I'm still dying over it and the art mocking him that I've seen. Crack up every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not rebooting the main series for sure. Boom is it's own cannon, just like the Archie comics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I see what you did there. :] TBH, this does sound good to me, no emeralds, different looks and worlds. Time for something way different... because otherwise it'd just be another Monster/Gimmick of the Week type game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abominal Taz Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Oh, I see what you did there. :] LOL Oh wow, I did not see that pun. I see what I did there with what you did there. Yeah, while it's going to take some time spending with this new line-up, games, design and all, I'll see how it fairs for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
