Metal Sonic has apparently been his own villain since Sonic Heroes. Don't know how or why that happened though.

His toy bio states that he was re-institated into Eggman's ranks by subsiquent reprogramming and capture. He (more or less, as Rayl said) was a villan in his own right, that he had three theme songs to boot (Look-A-Like as it plays on his duplicate nature, What I'm Made Of for his single goal to kill sonic, and the third one that quite a few people know exist, Metal Sonic).

This takes place before Heroes. Also, they consider "Dolby Digital" a feature? I would think that is more of a given considering the fact that its on an HD console. also.  ...[tornado fang]. |

somedays i wish i could just jump into an empty space.
otherdays i feel like i should just sleep
and finally, most of the time i just want to feel like i'm actually alive.
addendum:
everything is a cycle
no matter how much change one hopes to make
it will always regress, and all change, along with all hope to change, is completely lost.

That's Little Planet from CD. I guess Sonic 4 merges the Sonic CD and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 stories together, in episodic format.. .. Aww damnit, why the halfpipe cliche' again? |

I'm glad they ditched the annoying shininess.  I've always dreaded these arrow-shooting heads, and so does Tails apparently. |

The only way it's not the Death Egg is if he's transformed the Little Planet into a new Death Egg, the eyes are there afterall. |

Yeah, but if you look closely at the screenshot, the "Death Egg" is just framework. The sphere itself has continents, oceans and cloud cover.

The Other Side http://www.crowdedstreet.net/forumsirc.esper.net #theotherside Commander Shepard: *stares blankly at a video of scantily clad asari dancers* ...What kind of hotel is this?
Liara T'Soni: It is a luxury resort with an... exotic edge. Azure is slang for a part of the asari body in some places on Illium.
Shepard: Where?
Liara: The lower reaches, near the bottom.
Shepard: I meant, "where on the asari body?"
Liara: So did I. |

I have surprisingly little issue with what i am seeing here... especially if that music somehow makes it's way into the game.

Because he only ever revealed it to the world when he replaced Eggman in Heroes. Prior to that he was just another Eggman robot. And supposedly has been out of commission since Knuckles Chaotix. That said, the game does look great. |

I concur, but I honestly think this looks more like "Sonic Advance 4" then Sonic the Hedgehog 4. Springs and bouncers everywhere, and the Sonic/Tails tag-team moves reminds me a lot of Sonic Advance 3. |

As long as they improve the physics, Im sold. if not, ill pass. It looks pretty as hell, but you just cant sugarcoat how horrible Episode 1's physics were.

You know the Hedgehog Engine is a graphics/lighting engine, right? Posted on: February 24, 2012, 10:15:32 PM

All the WiiWare players got shafted again, since Episode 2 apparently has an Episode 1 "Lock-on" feature for a Metal Sonic mode featuring four new levels ( source) |

Yeah, if you're gonna do a "own multiple games" bonus, which I'd normally be psyched for, it would help a LOT of the latter game was available on the same platforms as the first.

They needed a new formula a long time ago. I honestly think Legends 3 would have accomplished that. They kept on remaking the same thing, with lower budgets, and now they're acting all confused because they stopped making a profit. |
