Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1

[crackdude]

Fans of the sonic series are like most sega fans, we want their old games brought back to the glory days when sega was pretty much the power in video games. Seeing the gameplay of sonic 4 has made many of us realize what we already knew, Sonic 4 will simply not be anywhere near as good as the original sonic games. Either way, We will decide to finally show sega what the fans truly want. A real sonic 4, as long as sonic 4 stays the way it is, we will not buy it, we will in fact buy sonic 1 on release in protest of sonic 4, till we end up with a re tool, or change, we want sonic in hd, not sonic RUSH HD. We will not buy a future sonic game, till we get a true successor to sonic 1/2.

wat.

The irony. A day after you post an article about how a miserable "journalist" should shut his mealy mouth, here comes the I Don't Have a Legitimate Job Brigade to ruin everybody's day. In what is perhaps one of the most pathetic attempts at blog 'hipstering' I've ever seen, a wonky-faced young man is telling us to buy Sonic 4 on release and not Sonic the Hedgehog as an online petition by 13 year olds demands, as a show of protest against God Knows What.

Greg is whining at a couple forums I go to about "OMG FAIL"

I thought this quote is full of win.(A guy responding to Greg)

I refuse to take you seriously, Greg. You're constantly going topsy-turvy on whether this game will rock or suck over the most minuscule of details.

"Sonic the Hedgehog 4 was announced even though they didn't give us any trailers or previews to how it will look or play! This game will ROCK!"
"They're reusing a few enemies from older Sonic games! This game will SUCK!"
"A leaked video preview came out and suddenly my mind has changed! This game will ROCK!"
"They're making a lot of callbacks to the original Green Hill Zone! This game will SUCK!"

I'm a Sonic fan, and I LOVE SONIC GAMES! Let's go onto a Sonic message board and rant about my wet dream for a Sonic game and how this upcoming SEGA title is NOT EVERYTHING I EXPECT IT TO BE!

Hope I'm not pushing the boundaries here, but I believe I'll issue a response to Greg, since his rant was directed toward me.

Just for the record, I don't have an opinion on this game. I never stated it was going to be good, and I never stated it was going to be bad either. If you're curious as to why, it's BECAUSE I CAN'T. I'm not going to go over again why basing a game's flaws off of an old alpha trailer and the gameplay of the entire game off of a couple GFZ nostalgia screenies makes you incredible, but I will say you need to wait for an actual official gameplay trailer before you present your opinion as a fact. I'm not canceling out the idea this game will fluke, but frankly, there aren't enough details for me to say it will anyway. In fact, I'm willing to bet there will be a solid engine by the time the next trailer is shown off, and if that's the case, I'll look forward to playing a momentum-based Sonic game when it comes out. We'll see. But there's nothing to see right now.

So, you've got a plan of action, huh? Round up as many people as you can, boycott the game, and make the team starve as punishment for their failure? Cool story, bro. Except I'm not interested in your fucking shit-throwing contest with SEGA. I don't care where you think Sonic needs to go enough that I'm going to listen to your tl;dr's every post. I play videogames because I enjoy videogames, not because I have this warped mentality that it's my duty to know where a certain game franchise is headed at all times and "fix its problems". If you want to get Sonic "back on his feet again" with such revolutionary concepts as not buying the game, that's perfectly fine with me. I'm sure you'll also repeat a bunch of biased, pointless rants older than time itself on how the company needs to get their act together once the next game comes out as well; not that it will be productive, but if that's what makes you feel better of yourself knowing you're not one of those horrible Sonic fanboys everyone in the outside world hates (which, of course, is not the case), then by all means, go for it.

Personally, however, my plan is to either buy the game or not buy the game, depending on what I feel like doing that day. If it's fun, then I enjoy it! If it's not, what a pity then. I'll make a tiny blurb on the forums I go to of what I thought of the game, move on with my life, and do something I think is either constructive or enjoyable.

I saw that article from Destructoid earlier in MTV's Games blog. I mean seriously, people?

If they wanna go through with this, well cry me a river.

I sold my Sonic 1 copy a few months ago.
Had I known they were gonna pull a stunt like this I would've charged a lot more for my Sonic 1 copy.

LOL
I think they meant buying Sonic 1 off XBLA right?
Otherwise it's an even dumber idea.

Okay guys, the only logical protest I can muster up is that we should all sell our original copies of Sonic the Hedgehog 1 that we bought in 1991, ha, take that SEGA!

[Waffle]

Wait for everyone to purchase Sonic 06 by mistake.

[jonboy101]

At least being a sega fan is never dull.

It would be AMAZING if Sega sends more copies of that game to gamestop. Confusing people with that game and Sonic 4.

I can see it now...

Kid: Do you have Sonic the Hedgehog 4?

Employee: For? For what?

Kid: Sonic the Hedgehog 4 for 360.

Employee: Did you stutter? Hm. Anyway, we do have Sonic the Hedgehog for 360.

Kid: So, this is Sonic the Hedgehog 4, 360?

Employee: Yes. That is Sonic the Hedgehog for 360.

Kid: Great! I'll take it!

Hahahahahahhaa... Oh that poor, poor child.

On the upside cube would be doing backflips when he saw Sonic 06 back in the charts.
