Haha, it's possible!

If Valve was running the show on this, we'd be waiting years for Episode 3.

STM · **Reply #127 on:** February 04, 2010, 10:04:57 AM

Alright, so here's my write up:

-Sonic fans are pissed, calling this Rush 3.
-Hate the homing attack.
-Hate the visual style.
-Episodic Content is rage worthy.
-http://www.sega.com/sonic4/assets/promo1.png - Sega [tornado fang]'d up on hiding the last platform: it's iPhone. Tentative release date is also July 2010.

Sonic fans will never be pleased.

Bag of Magic Food · **Reply #128 on:** February 04, 2010, 10:10:16 AM

There's still time to fix that stuff, though, right?

STM · **Reply #129 on:** February 04, 2010, 10:14:05 AM

Why fix it? The classic Sonic fan is impossible to please. Most everyone who is not in this group is going insane over this game.

When I saw the trailer, I pretty much thought, "New Super Mario Bros. with Sonic." It's all it really is. This is the NSMB to Sonic.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #130 on:** February 04, 2010, 10:15:06 AM

I thought the trailer was pretty decent. Kinda MM9-ish, but it made me look forward to the game.

Sonic's running animation is a bit off.... But hell yeah. Finally
It's about friggin' time.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Chances are that's only for slower speeds mind you, but yeah, it did seem off.

I personally like the visual style. The ones that hate it probably want the older version of Sonic, but that's never going to come back. They should be happy the level they showed looks anything at all like the older games. Either that, or they don't know what the [tornado fang] they want... which is highly likely, actually. Yeah, let's go with that. Same goes to all the other things STM brought up.

Aaaaaand the page at GameSpot disappeared (as expected)...

Oh wait, it didn't. ... nevermind, the interview is gone. o.o;

Yay Wii Ware~!

Now if they could call Eggman Robotnik again. ;3

Rad Lionheart · **Reply #134 on:** February 04, 2010, 11:20:25 AM

It looks pleasing so far, at least.

Also, thread title gonna remain Project Needlemouse, or change to Sonic 4?

STM · **Reply #135 on:** February 04, 2010, 12:09:07 PM

Some goodies we found within the site itself. Sega's been slowly removing most of this, so we're hosting it now.

Maybe it looks that way because they showed the old Sonics running first, where the legs basically just spin around each other, rather than having, like, knees and stuff.

Klavier Gavin · **Reply #137 on:** February 04, 2010, 12:45:42 PM

So... Should I be excited? >>;

STM · **Reply #138 on:** February 04, 2010, 12:56:34 PM

Depends; did you like Sonic Rush, Rush Adventure and Sonic Unleashed Day Stages, but now without a boost button and more emphasis on playing similarly to the Genesis titles?

borockman · **Reply #139 on:** February 04, 2010, 01:10:59 PM

So... the long awaited sonic 4 is finally here?

Need more info for sure...

When you put it that way... Yeah, I'm excited. >.>

HyperSonicEXE · **Reply #141 on:** February 04, 2010, 01:35:26 PM

What's with platformers and episodes?

Shantae, well that's one thing, but Sonic? What?

Flame · **Reply #142 on:** February 04, 2010, 02:02:30 PM

Oh Sega. You and your Star Wars references~
That said, Im excited. About freaking TIME we got Sonic 4.
also, dos this mean Tails and Knuckles will be around? Last i remember, they werent on the rejection list.
but what's this episode business?

Bag of Magic Food · **Reply #143 on:** February 04, 2010, 02:16:43 PM

It's to make everyone make comparisons to Half-Life!

STM · **Reply #144 on:** February 04, 2010, 02:40:26 PM

The belief is it's due to the Wii version. Nintendo has a mandatory 40MB limit on WiiWare titles. It's believed Sonic 4 will have 2-3 parts to it due to this.

Acid · **Reply #145 on:** February 04, 2010, 02:41:49 PM

Well I've never been the biggest Sonic fan around. But hey, I might actually get this. As a kid I ALWAYS wanted to play S3&K but couldn't because I had no SEGA consoles.

VixyNyan · **Reply #146 on:** February 04, 2010, 03:02:52 PM

Well, you could get the Sonic Mega Collection for the Gamecube (works on Wii), or wait until February 12th, and you will be able to download

Sonic & Knuckles for the Virtual Console and connect it with Sonic 3.

Strider Xhaiden · **Reply #147 on:** February 04, 2010, 03:12:13 PM

Interesting....and for those of us that can't access the Wii Shop or the others?

VixyNyan · **Reply #148 on:** February 04, 2010, 03:17:12 PM

Gens emulator and some ROMs~ x3

Or install Homebrew Channel. o.o;

CUT THAT OUT VIXY! I WILL NOT BELIEVE YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT!

;_________________;

Eggman's name is still [tornado fang]ing ROBOTNIK! He's called: Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik. I mean, goddamn... his grandfather and cousin have "Robotnik" as their last names.
What do you people want?!

Sorry... I HAZ BAD MOODZ. : <

Anyway, I expected nothing more, nothing less from Sega. They are bunch of fucks, that can't even make a decent game about their mas... oh, what the hell am I talking about?! I didn't even play it. I'll wait till it's released. Still, what I see now, is kind of worrying, but HEY! Sonic 4! : D
