Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1

[Sharky]

And Sanus's that I'm a Sonic fanboy.

Out of everyone I know, you and Shadi talk about Sonic the Hedgehog 4 the most, even more than Aki.

AKA DONT DENY

Not according to the post count in this thread I don't.

Cearly I'm not as 'passonate' about the series as you either... since, you know. I'm not getting uppity about trivial things.

By some strange backward 'logic' that makes me a fanboys.

[Sega Uranus]

By that logic, complaining about the werehog is trivial.  :lol:

I only get "Uppity" from stuff you defend, I have constantly said I think the game looks good, not sure what you expect me to say! You also think Sonic Unleashed day stages is how Sonic games should be, so GOOD DAY SIR!

[Sharky]

By that logic, complaining about the werehog is trivial.  :lol:

Well you think Sonic Rush is how Sonic games should be, so GOOD DAY SIR!

Werehog changes up the gameplay completely, boosts and homing attack are comparable to the addition of Spin-Dash in Sonic 2 or Element sheilds.

Nothing like werehog.


And as for Sonic Rush, where did I say that? Your argument is getting pretty thin here...

Well if it was thick, you probably would not read it.

True story!

Also, lol at the failed stealth edit by sanus.

I edited it before you posted, check the forum records.

God you guys are funny.

I'd like to interrupt this argument with HORRIBLE news!

Sonic 4 is bad apparently. A community member got a chance to play it, and it plays like Sonic Advance 2, but with really wonky physics.

Also, the jump apparently SUCKS.

However, the game pretty much have the physics of Sonic Rush. I hate I hate I hate I hate I hate, I can’t stress enough how I hate the jump!  Fucking jump! It’s the worst jump I’ve ever seem in a Sonic game to date. Apparently they tried to mimic the ‘the longer you hold down the jump button, the longer you accent’ mechanic of the classic games, but as a result, they fucked the freaking cake with it. The jump is all over the place: if you rapidly tap the jump button, Sonic almost don’t jump; if you hold a little and release, Sonic starts accending, but hebreaks to the floor as soon as you release the jump button. If you hold the jump button all the way down, Sonic jumps like if he had touched a spring, he jumps so high and almost no gravity, it’s like you are jumping on the freaking moon. And I thought the jump ing the Rush series was bad. This one is even worse. The jump is so bad that I preffer to keep running right to win really.

Spindash has also been severely weakened.

You can read the rest here. It's pretty depressing.

Oh god, please say it aint so! It's title is Sonic 4 not Sonic Rush HD. I hope this news isn't real or the original poster hasn't figured out the new jump gimmick. I so don't need new gameplay gimmicks. Just give me a straight up fun sonic game.

If true, thats fucking terrible news... But with 5 months left to develop I hope they can get it fixed.

But honestly? This came from a Sonic forum and I really don't see why Sega would let some random guy from a Sonic forum play test the game... Seems very dodgey to me...

Edit: Hes from Brazil as well? come on now... Sega went to Brazil to find a play tester that can barely type english?...

[Aki-at]

I play tested Sonic 4 the other day.

I'm sorry to say guys, but Sonic Team put in another useless gimmick. In Mad Gear Zone Sonic teams up with Cody and the game changes into a shitty beat em up for the whole stage, ending in with a boss fight against Mr X, the game is ruined.

SEGA didn't go anywhere. It was apparently through PartnerNet or whatever. (Same way with the leaked footage. It was in like someone's living room!)

I just checked Sonic Retro, and there was some OTHER guy posting fake information to confuse everybody, so who knows. We'll have to wait til tomorrow to see if this Endri guy is telling the truth. (He says he'll upload video tomorrow.)

But you gotta admit, from the video we've seen, it sounds pretty accurate.

EDIT: Yeah never mind. It wasn't through PartnerNet. It says right at the top of the article that it was on a developer's console. :oops:

A video that was labeled alpha is an accurate indication of what the product is? He is saying SEGA is not going to do anything at all for the next five months until the game is released in July, say anything about SEGA, but delaying a completed Sonic the Hedgehog game is something they've rarely done.

Until I see proof, I am going to be skeptical, just as I am skeptical of Dimps/Sonic Team whoever can make a good Sonic game, I remain wary of any online fan claiming to have insider info.

Dude, you are far to gullible.

If you think this is the final build and Sega are going to sit on their hands for the next 5 months of development time you are mental.

You've spent far to long on those sonic sites... please step away.

[SOUP]

I don't see the need for a whole lot of panic.
It's not really possible to know for sure what the final build's quality will be until it comes out.
If it turns out good, that's awesome.
If it sucks, there's always the old games to play. No need to panic.
