Lines up pretty well with a new game leak a few days ago that hinted at a new voice cast change. I wonder if Ben Schwartz is taking up the mantle?

nah lots of people sound like Ben Schwartz. If they go they route they have a large pool of VA to pick from.

[Fake]

So long. Never like it.

 

[Saber]

Finally, thank the gods.

The sound he makes for Sonic aways sounds forced and way annoying most of times. I'm glad hes out of Sonic voice business.

Boomers didn't watch that. Don't use the word if you don't know how to use it.

He wasn’t horrible (he was actually pretty good in the Boom TV show), I feel like the shit writing of every Sonic game made in the last 10 years probably didn’t do him any favours though

 

[BobbyColtrane]

damn, would have been a prime opportunity

 

[Werewolf Jones]

He had a good run. Not like he needs work though.

Nah he was. His voice for Sonic was pretty forced. And its not like Boom did him any favors, since Boom show has mid type of writting(not good but not bad either). But I admit that the writting only make the situation worse, since it was pretty bad.

So no more “hEHe chiLidAwGs, yoURe tOo SlOw”?

 

[Codes 208]

Actually on a serious note, I wouldn’t mind Ben Schwartz taking the mantle, he did an awesome job in the sonic movie

Sonic movie had a good impact in the fanbase in general. If anything, this could be really a thing.

Question out of curiosity, since I haven't played those Sonic games:

Did Roger Craig Smith sound like a "Sonic," or did he sound.... I don't know, like Roger Craig Smith? I remember thinking, "man, Ezio Auditore da Firenze and Chris Redfield sound exactly the same." That's because.... they did!

Including design if you ask me, something about the separate eyes, larger pupils, blue arms and lightning take on his speed makes him look and seem more modernized than the actual modern sonic.

plus charged sonic looks cooler than super sonic.

Are you taking about both seasons of Boom?

I'm asking because I've found the 2nd season vastly more enjoyable than the first, with much better writing and more clever/less obvious jokes, and the way they were delivered contributed to that. I don't know what's the general consensus on Sonic Boom season 2, though.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Get Urkel Back

 

[AgentP]

Love him.

 

[Neff]

I love Roger Craig Smith but he sounded too recognisable as Sonic. I could never shake the fact that I was listening to spiky blue Chris Redfield.

Nobody respects Gen X.

Here is the leak in question, the reddit post's image wasn't working for me. It was first posted on 4chan on Mon 18 Jan 2021. Right after the Puyo Puyo Sonic DLC was announced with Roger Craigs voice, and before the voice actors were announced to be replaced, before the writers were announced to have been replaced, and before the tv show was announced. Definitely seems to have some truth to it, I would've never believed it if all this stuff hadn't have lined up perfectly though.

You never really know about these leaks. I remember we had a verified leak back then, for Sonic Unleashed, but otherwise, Sonic has always been about stupid leaks.

This one here, can't tell if it could happen. Focusing on Amy as a secondary character sounds a bit surprising, but you never know. Otherwise, the proposed gameplay features would be nice. I would have guessed that the avatar would have made a come back.

 

[carlosrox]

Get him back as Chris please.

 

[German Hops]

So what? Everyone knows Jaleel White is Sonic's true voice.

 

[deriks]

I like his voice. He's incredible as Chris, but I really like his Sonic

 

[M1chl]

I sure as hell hope that he is Chris, because I don't give a shit if he isn't.

 

[KyoZz]

It keeps leaking

 

[Alex Anderson]

Love him.

Don't forget

I had no idea he was still alive until just now. He looked so old on my baseball cards 30 years ago.

 

[Boss Mog]

I'm more surprised that he hasn't been cancelled for voicing a POC yet.

 

[D.Final]

How this is going to work for the next?

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[StateofMajora]

I don't understand the dislike for his sonic voicework, I liked it. You can blame the writers for overdoing the cheese at times.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[matty3092]

Really wasn't a fan of his sonic voice it was quite grating at time.

 

[cormack12]

How old am I? Sonic had a voice.... Wtf?
