I still hate the in-game version of Seven Rings In Hand. The guy singing sounds utterly lifeless. At least Gioeli puts his heart into it.

I'm with PB. There's challenging, then there's artificial difficulty. The original Sonic games were challenging because you had to have quick reflexes and be able to scan the terrain ahead of you on the fly. Meanwhile, there's a stage in Unleashed that will dump you into a bottomless pit every couple SECONDS, and there's one so close to the start line that you don't even have time to react.
The stage design was just shitty as a whole. There were a few fun ones, but overall they were poorly done. Sonic moving so fast that it's impossible to actually see any details because of the motion blur didn't really help. I think Sonic reached what should've been his peak speed in Sonic Adventure 1. And don't even get me started on the medal collection thing. That's the reason I never finished the game.
All that said, it looks like Dimps is avoiding that problem with Sonic 4. I'm not 100% sold on the stage layouts from what I've seen, but I do think I'll enjoy the game a lot more than the last two or three Sonic games I've played.

the speed is mainly what's making recent games go out of control with crap.
Thank god I'm not the only person who sees that. Sega's been focusing on OMFG FASTER FASTER FASTER to the detriment of all else. You had to be [tornado fang]ing clairvoyant to finish a stage in Unleashed without dying.

Obviously this is a different Star Festival than the previous game. A better Star Festival.
That or it's take 2, since Bowser ruined the first one, and now he's ruined the second one too. Damn you, Bowser!

Conversely I just disliked everyone's gameplay but Sonic and Shadow's and wished it were more like SA1. The only character I didn't like in -that- game was Big. Even Amy had an entertaining story mode.
It was actually Knuckles and Rouge's stages I hated the worst, though. It was fun in SA1, but the changes they made for SA2 just sucked the enjoyment out of it. After spending an hour in Pumpkin Hill listening to that horrible music loop OVER AND OVER AND OVER again, I never wanted to play another treasure hunt stage again.

I suppose they could do that.
I suppose I was also thinking of the final fight in SMR, in which Samus's equipment is destroyed when Mother Brain lands the crippling blow on her. You can still die pretty easilly at that point.

The last video I saw of the gameplay looked remarkably close to the Genesis games, so I'm actually looking forward to this.

It's probably just a cutscene. It'd be pretty cruel of them to make you actually fight Super Metroid's final boss in the opening, unless the difficulty was cranked down, and I'm pretty sure nobody wants that.
It would be kinda cool when I think about it though. The escape sequence would definitely be interesting.

Not sure. It probably can, I just wouldn't expect to get max settings out of it.

Right, so I recently bought a new laptop and to help pay back the money I borrowed, I'm selling my old one. $200.00, as-is. Specifications are as follows:
Acer Aspire 3050
-1.8 GHz AMD Sempron 3400+
-Windows 7 Ultimate x86 (32-bit)
-40 GB IDE HDD
-14.1" WXGA LCD display, 1280x800 resolution (matte)
-ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 onboard GPU
-2 GB DDR2 PC2 4200 SDRAM (533 MHz)
-CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo, 24x(CD)/8x(DVD)
-5-in-1 card reader (accepts SD/MicroSD, MS, MMC, MSPro, xD)
-Type I/II PC Card slot
-3 x USB 2.0, VGA out, S-Video out
-Touchpad with 4-way scroll button
-Integrated 10/100 network card
-Integrated WLAN
-Battery rated at 2.6 hours from factory
-Dimensions 13.4" x 9.9" x 1.4", 5.3 lbs
-Power cable included and in good working order
It runs fairly well in Win7's Classic or Basic themes. Aero works but it's kinda sluggish. Drivers for everything are up to date. The face of the 4 key is missing due to a cat-related accident, but the button itself still works fine.

I still think Rock and Roll are too old. Lebron should've gotten kids in their early teens to play them instead, really.
Though I imagine that might've been more difficult than finding a couple of willing 20-somethings.

Another Hedgehog #005: The Power of Chaos Control
The text in panel 5 is slightly different from the rest of the comic. I decided to do some editing to the strip a couple days ago, and found out that I'd only saved a PSD of the last panel. Well, it took me forever to remake panel 5, and by the time I was done with it I didn't feel like remaking the entire comic so that the text matched. It bugs me a bit, but I'm just gonna live with it as is.

Worse was Sonic's ability to casually stroll through entire loop-de-loops in Sonic '06. And NOT FALLING when coming to a complete stop while upside down.
However bad you think the level design in Sonic 4 is just from watching beta videos, Sonic Rush's was a hell of a lot worse from what I've seen.

I think ST's lack of quality control is what got us into this mess to begin with.
But whatever, that doesn't look game-crippling to me.
