World map revealed:



Gotta say, it looks WAY more epic than I thought it would. Really impressive. Also, notice that the right of the map is shaded out. Could this be the possible Episode 2 areas? Perhaps once Episode 2 releases, the titles will lock on, allowing for one to navigate the map from left to right?

Wow, that really is a great overworld map! ^___^ Very nice, SEGA!

It looks like something worthy of Sonic Colors...

It is a real shame that real passion and drive to make a great game was not in the development cycle earlier. The most obvious proof of this is things like this map and the newly redesigned levels in the casino and ruin levels looking way better than the rest of the game by a lot.

I have a lot more hope for the next episode, but I guess I said that last time. :/

For once, you and I are in total agreement. When DIMPS is allowed to be more of themselves instead of being held back to make Sonic more "Classic" they show more of their originality and skill.

DIMPS is a much better developer than people give them credit for.

The problem is not Dimps. They only do what they're told to. I think that was established 120 pages ago?

DIMPS made Sonic Pocket Adventure, which I consider the best handheld Sonic game by a lot, it has some of the best ideas to the original series ever, like those puzzle pieces. I thought Sonic Advance 1 was pretty good too.

Like Orta said though, DIMPS is not the problem here, they never were.

Well one thing I have noticed about ever since Dimps began doing sonic 2d games is the change in level design quality. Which had a lot of bad enemy placements and placed pit traps with no warning at full speeds.

But sonic 4 doesn't seem to have those issues and that is where sonic 4 shines the most (minus the automation of the homing attack and speed boosters). The leve ldesign looks great so with this game they have ultimatly proven that they are indeed the right people for the jobs.

The best Dimps game is Sonic Advance 3. Now that I think about it, Sonic Advance 3 does a better job at being a "Sonic 4" than the actual Sonic 4.

Sonic advance 3 physics weren't polished. They were close, but felt weird and a bit off, to me at least.

Sonic advance 2 had the perfect physics but the most straight forward level design of them all and that anoying speed cap before you went "sonic boom" .

Sonic advance 1 had the best level design imo. Unlike advance 2 & 3(while advance 2 had it worst) it didn't put blazing speed gameplay on nr 1 and platforming on 2. The level design had great resemblance of the classic level design apart from a few unfair botomless pits. But hey, the classics weren't perfect either, just slightly more frequant in sonic advance 1. Especially from angel island zone.

That's my take on it  :P

A TSSMB member put together these comparison pics, left is current build, right is old build. If George were doing one of his "spot the differences" contests, this would be perfect:


As for Sonic Advance 3, I thought the pre-act hubs were bullllllshiiiiiit. Took more time to get TO an act than it did to complete an act! Definitely a stupid decision for a handheld game. As for the game itself, the art was so samey. SAdv3 =/= Sonic 4. Sonic 4 will be much better.
