Good folks at Sonic Stadium uploaded the scans.

Iizuka saying that the homing attack will be used for air routes... That is worrying, his history of air routes are often a bunch of badniks that are trying to shot you down whilst you have to chain homing attack them over a bottomless pit...

You mean like the screen in the top right?

Well no, I don't mind it if the route is optional and to get there you have to string a succession of attacks (Prefered the older methods of the higher you fall the higher you go up if you successful hit an object)

It's when it is the only path over a deadly pit that is worrying.

I just do not get his point. Cannot we already use bounce on enemies for this? Or use a spring? Or just things in the levels?

Homing attack is so dull and just negates unique level design.

I'm actually pumped to play Sonic 4. Yeah, it might not be as great as Sonic 1-3 (nostalgia can be a bitch) but it will be loads better than Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic R, Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic Spinball, G Sonic, Sonic Shuffle, Sonic Chronicles, Sonic Genesis, Sonic Golf, Mario & Sonic at any Olympic Games, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic  and the Black Knight, Sonic Riders, Sonic Riders Zero Gravity, Sonic the Fighters...

DIMPS are good, but not great. They should stick to spinoffs and minor titles, not the biggest franchise title SEGA has right now. Would you let Sumo do it, for comparison?
actually,yes,yes I would.
but thats beyond the point
the game looks fine
we shouldnt be overeacting yet
we get pissed ONLY when the game comes out,k?
so calm down everyone

Barry basically just pointed out that the franchise sucks and for us all to set our expectations low.  :lol:

And I dunno man, at least Spinball, 3D Blast, Shuffle, R, Fighters and Secret Rings/Black Knight had interesting art and sometimes good music and no homing attack.

EDIT: Sonic 3D Blast does indeed have the homing attack, but you need a special shield for it.

Or they can just use jumping and air momentum? It worked in all of the Genesis Sonic games... Why have they forgotten about it?

I am no doubt interested in the game, but really, it is pretty much exclusively just because I like Sonic in general, and that bugs me.

You've got away with murder so far with out any warnings.
Consider this your first, 2 more and your out, which would be a shame.

 :mrgreen: Yeah.... well, I mean the way I see it, Sonic 4 would never and could never beat the original big three. The best I see happening is a fun 2.5D Sonic game that will look gorgeous on an HDTV. I downloaded the HD trailer on the 360 last night and it was really a lovely image. Couple that with fun platforming and you've got a good game. Maybe not groundbreaking, but definitely not a pile of shit.

From the sound of it (in recent interviews), Episode 2 will bring another 5-7 zones and the option to play as Tails or Knuckles. Also, the mention of Episode 1 being an introduction leads me to believe that we'll start seeing more original zones, bosses and badniks as the game progresses. As it stands, I'm happy to have HD remixes of classic zones. The Casino level is going to be a favorite of mine, I can feel it.

I think it's you that should calm down. You get over excited and spoil it for everyone every time we cut you a break.

We I wanted you banned from the site right from the start you would have been. We chose to give you a break, don't ruin it for yourself.

Go back and read the forum rules.
