Another Sonic Boom interview, more details

Details rounded up from the interview above include:

• The Wii U GamePad will be used to display a map and upgrades, as well as another function which is yet to be unveiled
• The game follows an adventure style with currency and upgrades for the characters
• The game is more “organically” challenging, in that difficulty arises from skill in combat and finding hidden secrets as opposed to enemies just becoming tougher
• All the levels in the game are connected by the story and its locations
• You will mainly use two characters at a time during gameplay, but all four will show up in hubs and boss fights
• There will be points in the game where you are required to use a certain character to proceed
• The game will be very character driven, with a lot of focus put onto each individual character and their unique abilities
• We will “definitely” be seeing other characters from the Sonic series making an appearance – these will be revealed over the coming months
• Inspiration is being taken from Sonic 2, Sonic Adventure, and Sonic Generations
