Eh, too much negativity.  People are judging the game and forming opinions when they haven't even played it yet.  I agree Casino Street Zone act 2 looks horrible, but it's still no reason to go bashing the whole game and forming early opinions.

Wait until you play it to form opinions.

Will you follow that advice for Conduit 2, Grinder and various other games though?

No, those games don't interest me at all.

Awesome, they are going to set up Wii demos so we can see if these motiony games actually work? Great!

So you'll stop bashing them for no particular reason?

I do not know why they had to use these Act 2 gimmicks, none of them seem even remotely fun, either. Why not set them up like missions in Sonic Adventure 2 as an optional thing that is just meant to extend gameplay for completionists? I would have been fine with that.

I also do not know why there are 4 acts for each zone. The reason they changed from 3 acts to 2 in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was because they wanted to have more designs and level gimmicks and because some people thought just three acts were boring. In Sonic the Hedgehog 3, they even added completely new layouts and gimmicks to each act, along with a boss for each one as well. Even just on a basic concept level, this is such a massive decline for the original series. Another lazy Sonic Team "Attempt".

The bosses are really such a massive disappointment as well. All of the ones we have seen so far have been ripoffs of the old games, and not even the most interesting ones, either. Like, why is the casino boss the same one Knuckles had before you fight Mecha Sonic in Sonic & Knuckles? It seriously cannot be that hard to think up something new... Hell, just bring in a boss from one of the Advance games if you must... The only cool new idea is how Robotnik gets mad and starts acting crazy, but by this time you only need to hit him like two times anyways, so it just seems like another waste. Bright spark, etc etc.

Dude, of all of the people I ever talked to in my life, you have ALWAYS been the absolutely most critical on games you have not played. Just because you like Sonic's design does not mean everyone has to like the game too. I feel I have been very very very fair on the game. Everything negative I have said was given a good excuse, too.

Looks like we've gone past critical mass and went straight into melt-down mode across the internet. Man, what the hell has happened? The game has been shown pretty much in its entirety in video form online. How does a whole game get leaked so many months before it's actually released?

On one hand it gave the internet a good reason to nit-pick a few crucial parts of the game, but on the other hand it's like watching somebody's dvd rip of a movie that has yet to be released. Leaks are getting way out of hand. This could cause more trouble for the regular gamer who tows the legal line well and keeps street dates.

I'm rambling on as I really don't know what I really want to say at the moment besides this is all really, really, getting out of hand. The hating, entitlement complex, and general attitude of the internet is really getting to a point where it can really cause the already socially out of sync idiots in government to make unnecessary rules to more all our hard earned toys and rights away. F'n-A!

I think my Prime Minister has more pressing issues than to be worried about a whole game being leaked online starring a blue three foot tall hedgehog Fuji :lol:

But being serious, the whole script for Silver was leaked early, Sonic Unleashed was leaked early and many more leaks regarding Sonic has just generally happened, SEGA America/Europe (Although I am betting more on the former considering their, eh, organization at current moment) have really bad security regarding Sonic.

Thank you for putting me back into focus Aki-At.:D

What I meant to say is all this digital espionage and related stuff is going to cause a lot of trouble and give legislators the wrong ideas to try to "help" media/game corporations to keep their intellectual property safe from people who share leaks with the rest of the world.

Governments always start with the small stuff then go for the big stuff later after they've conditioned the sheep long enough. XD

Well most of these problems just arise to how dodgy SEGA is at keeping secrets.

Look at Electronic Arts, Capcom, Nintendo, Ubisoft etc now, perhaps it's because I am not a major fan of them that I don't notice any leak, but I've never heard the amount of information that has been given out incorrectly. Just the other day AM2 blamed SEGA of America for giving out AfterBurner Climax's release date early! I don't think governments would use what SEGA has been doing as a reason to go down that route, SEGA pretty much just does it to themselves that even SEGA of Japan has begun to take notice.

Sorry if I seemed to crack up in my last post.

Anyway,  I wonder what's going to happen to PartnerNet? Will they finally serve up a banhammer and knock out all those modified Jtagged systems that have been tapping into it all along? Something should be done at the very least so it doesn't happen again, or at least not at such a blatant scale as Sonic4's.

No idea, who knows, but stuff like this will always continue to leak.

Going back to Sonic the Hedgehog 4, after what I've seen, I am convienced this game is going to be a raging success and probably one of the biggest hits on the XBLA and PSN platform, despite what SonicRetro, Sonic _____, NeoGAF etc would have you believe declairing this is the end, from the looks of things, I think a lot of people are going to try the first level, love it, then continue on to purchase the full game, especially since it's only for $5, or even if it's only $10, I would imagine quite a few would purchase it.

Shame, because I think this would indicate to Iizuka that the Casino Street gimmick and the mine cart level as what fans want in future releases.

I have seen the "leaked" videos, and still not liking it.

 Does not looks fun.


 Is the worst on the entire series, has less originality than Sonic CD and the musics... I don't need to play it to judge the musics. And the musics are pure crap for all stages.

 I'm completely disapointed with Sega again.


 Next time, just call Ohshima to design the backgrounds, scenarios, call Jimita and Bo to do the sounds, Naka for the program and Yasuhara for the levels.

Oshima did Blinx. Guy has lost it.

Jun's lost it too.

Naka is too busy making shitty bird games.

Yasuhara has gone to SEGA's evil twin.

Sonic Team is just not very good anymore either.
