Updated OP

New very good looking images

This image was most notable to me

Those new screenshots look nice. No reticules while sonic is jumping in front of an enemy raises questions, in a positive way to me. As i've said in the frontpage article, never really liked the reticules. But thinking about it again, it could just be that they haven't applied it yet

Edit: There's a few more things i have noticed. The special stages are actived from entering a giant ring again, so no mini bosses. In one of the pictures sonic jumps and makes a good curve, so that maye be sort of a sign the physics are impoved.

All of those are pretty spectacular, but the snowy one is the one that really gets to me.

Famitsu scan:



Can anybody translate the Japanese? Wonder if any zone names are present.

Where is storm?

Anyway more artworks :D



Op updated

First off: Second boss revealed?!?



 ;D

Secondly: over at TSS, the Aquatic Ruin looking zone was translated to "Sylvania Castle". Not sure if this is the zone name, or what. Somebody said something about "sylvania" meaning "forest". So Forest Castle? Who knows. Rooftop Run was Orange Roofs over in Japan, so I don't trust the translation.

The frozen amusement park: the text was cut off, so all that could be read is "Winter" perhaps the first world is "Winter"? Winter Park? Winter Carnival?

Gameplay trailer in a little over a half an hour.

Call me cautiously excited ^^

Call me cautiously excited ^^

We should all think its going to be terrible and toilet level badness, that way when it surprises us like Binary Domain did, we'd be ten times happier!

Though I honestly forgot about the trailer, wasn't it due tomorrow?

[CrazyT]

Nah it's gonna be today in a few minutes. Someone made a countdown picture that shows the time with every refresh


Well tbh there's not much that could dissapoint me right now. I've accepted the things I don't like about the game, which might eventually influence wether I buy it or not for principled reasons. Though seeing the sega forums counting this whole thing down gets you sorta excited

...

Oh yeah and sonic 4 sux!!!!! (am i doing it right?)

[CrazyT]

There you go guys

Kellie of SoA says:

Tails is playable, but not in single player. When playing single player, you play as Sonic and interact with Tails to progress through the levels. When you're playing two player, one of you will play as Sonic and the other as Tails, and work together.

  Yes, the first stage is called "Sylvania Castle" and the second is "White Park".

 Bye!

Finally, someone who can play somewhat decently =P

Great find! Odd that I never found that in my searching, it was uploaded 2/29 but it's new to me!

[Happy Cat]

Also is it just me, or is that video intro totally awesome? Hearing it just gets me pumped. XD and I love the design of it too.

So, Episode Metal sounds really fucking cool: http://segabits.com/blog/2012/04/05/sonic-4-news-metal-sonic-playable-in-both-episodes-sand-zone-revealed-and-release-dates/

Reminds me of how playing as Knuckles in Sonic 3 revealed new aspects to the story. Really excited for it!
