More Sonic Runners Info (If anyone wants it)

Sega of Japan have released the Japanese Sonic Runners trailer:

Apparently:

* Characters seem to be restricted to characters created before Sega stopped making consoles.
* It will be available in English, unlike Jewel of Mystery.
* Uses the same cubist art style as Sonic Lost World, likely even using recycled resources from said game.
* Wisps have been retooled. They now follow you around the whole level, and their powers are more subtle. Through this, we also get Chao.
* There's somewhat of a story.

Seems like it could be a good time waster. Of course it has the grindy aspect to drain as much money as possible from addicts, but that's expected on mobile these days.

The end is near.

Had fears that it would be a bit too linear even for a runner game, but looking over the vid again there seems to be different routes one can take within the levels. Hope it's good. The Rayman Run games have set the bar high for such games.

I really hope this doesn't spell the end of regular sonic games, Generations was fantastic and I'd still love to see more.

Amen brother.

With most of the console developers laid off, I'm not sure what else can happen.

Someone has uncovered art assets depicting every character from Generations except Jet (and Chip is not playable).

I like the art style but it's going to be a lousy "freemium" game.

Downloaded this about a week ago. It's a good time killer. Runs fine on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

Seems like this is incompatible with loads of Android devices. Good work Sega.

No love for Samsung Note 4. "Sega: The incompetent legend continues". :bs:
