Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric

The main culprit of the game's technical issues is the engine the game runs on, the CryEngine, not being designed to run on the Wii U.

The game was originally being made for the PS4, Xbox One & PC, but had to be thrown onto the Wii U at the last minute because of a Sonic exclusivity contract SEGA signed with Nintendo & Big Red Button wasn't informed about this until it was too late & they had no time to switch everything over to another game engine that was compatible with the Wii U.

Apparently, the engine's creator, Crytek, tried to help, the developers at Big Red Button, but even they had trouble working with the Wii U's architecture.

It's a real, real, real shame too because if you've played the original FarCry, the Crysis trilogy, Homefront: The Revolution or Hunt: Showdown, you'd know just how stunning & gorgeous CryEngine game's can look when running on the right console or the right PC graphics card.

Sonic 06 is said to be the worst Sonic game ever made, and it is bad.... but... maybe not the worst. Rise of Lyric is said to be the worst 3D game of all time. To make things worse, it was exclusive to Wii-U, which was a failed Nintendo console.

P-06 made Sonic 06 actually good...

Anyone think the same could be done for Rise of Lyric? Or is it so bad it's just a lost cause?

No? Nobody? Yea... Rest in pieces.

Anybody out there managed to find a version of Rise of Lyric's cover image without the logos?

For a project I'm working on.

I've searched for hours and this was the best I could find, but the Japanese logo is in the way:

1. I'd fix the gameplay.

2. I'd make the artstyle more in line with something like Forces (Or Frontiers. That one might be better.)

3. I'd upgrade the color palette in levels because it was mostly just colorless at times.

4. I'd remove Q.N.C because he doesn't need to exist, let alone be in this game.

5. I'd add another campaign based around Sticks because she isn't a playable character in the game. It will unlock after beating the main game.

6. I'd re-add the Knuckles flight glitch because why not?

7. I'd make the neon costumes a separate DLC because them being a pre-order bonus exclusive is stupid.

8. I'd give every character their own abilities, including a spindash for Sonic that's more in line with Frontiers' spindash, a flight mechanic for Tails, the ability to climb anything and glide with Knuckles, etc.

9. I'd give the game a better framerate.

10. I'd add the option to go over 100 rings.

11. I'd make the combat more interesting.

12. I'd give the hub worlds more things to do.

13. I'd make the puzzle sections a bit more challenging and interesting.

14. I'd speed up the characters like with what Nintendo did in the 3D World remake.

15. I'd make a DLC where you can play as Shadow as an extra character.

16. I'd give Shadow more screentime.

17. I'd add new enemies because most of the enemies are very repetitive.

18. I'd make the Enerbeams easier and more fluid to control.

19. I'd add items that you get for completing side quests.

20. I'd add 4 second invincibility frames.

(I might edit this later, but I feel like Sonic Boom: Rise Of Lyric was a game that I believe has lots of potential for a reboot. Tell me what you guys think in the comments)

Sonic Forces: Pretty good (It was my favorite 3D Sonic game before Sonic Colors Ultimate), but very underrated.

Sonic 4 Episode 1/2: Not the best game in Sonic's history, but is dramatically overhated to the point where people say it's their least favorite game.

Sonic And The Black Knight: Not as bad as some people say, but it's on the Wii, so the controls aren't exactly the best.

Sonic R: Same kind of deal as Sonic Forces, but a little bit worse.

Shadow the Hedgehog: Isn't bad per say, but there are a few areas that make me say "What the heck are you doing over there, SEGA?"

Sonic 06: Broken and bad, but in a way that makes it hilarious to talk about (Basically, think of "So Bad It's Good").

Sonic Labyrinth: Cool idea, but just very wonky to play on, and that's including its (only) port in Sonic Origins Plus.

Sonic And The Secret Rings: Basically Sonic 06, but is worse because of its bad controls due to it being on the Wii (Which is unsurprising).

Sonic Boom: Rise Of Lyrics: Same as Sonic 06, but without the "So Bad It's Good" element.

Sonic Free Riders: Is just as terrible as people say it is, but is a tiny bit over-exaggerated.

Sonic Jam (Game.com): Actual garbage. Nothing else needs to be said.

But I think a Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric remake would be amazing. They could change so much like new levels, newer visuals, a Sticks the Badger sidestory, BETTER FREAKING CONTROLS!

What do you think about my Boom Sonic drawn recreation?
