Planet Wisp indeed looks gorgeous (never played Sonic Colors or any other Sonic game for that matter). Surprised the metacritic score of Colors is so "low". I usually only watch independent reviewers on youtube and Sonic Colors was well received for the most part.

I honestly think Metroid Prime 1 (2002) looks better than Sonic Boom. Is this just me or do others think the same?

Prime 1 I don't quite think so, but Prime 2 and Resident Evil 4 definitely, which is something of a problem when your Wii U game gets visually upstaged by Gamecube games a decade old...

When I play Metroid Prime I don't have to cringe at the awful graphics. When I'm watching a let's play of Sonic Boom I cringe a lot (I'm watching Cobanermani456's let's play of it). I don't just mean technically, but art style is also very important. And Sonic Boom just comes off as flat/bland. But yeah, Resident Evil 4 was one gorgeous game for the Gamecube.

Did Sonic Boom get a downgrade by the way? I don't remember it looking this bad in the first few trailers. And it didn't look good back then either.

Yeah, it was downgraded heavily from early trailers. Seems to me like a game that just ran out of time/money.
