I'm looking forward to playing a good 2d HD Sonic game, and that looks like what were getting. ;)

also TSSZ is a load of shit. I reccomend we NEVER cite them at this site. They lie to get hits and permaban anyone who makes a comment that questions the validity of a news post. Case in point: I was banned for posting a quote from Steve of Sumo that conflicted with a false tssz news story.

Now that's something I think we can ALL agree on!

The new trailer's looking pretty nice.  I was sold once he freed all the animals :)

Jumps seem faster and less floaty. I'll have to watch the trailer while watching a Sonic 3 video to be a ultrageek.

When Sonic's in the air he maintains that falling animation. It's ridiculously funny.

Why does he have a falling animation? Why can't he always be a spiky ball?

Also... Screw that homing attack... Seriously, Sega. There's still time.

In the old games he would simply air walk, which I found funny as well lol

Homing attack seems to work good.. It certainly made the boss fight look easier though.
Still, in Sonic 1 my record for that boss was like 5-8 seconds. So I think it won't make much difference..
But on the regular level it seems to be well implemented. I like it.

HOMIE ATTACK



Awww sheeit hahah. Well played.


Although seriously, I really don't like the looks ofthat homing attack, it just doesn't look like Sonic to me. And before anyone says it, I'm not just whining for the sake of it, I honestly think it looks like it changes the gameplay at a base level. I'm sure that it still might be fun, but so far I still think I'll give this game a miss.

I imagine the boss fight they show in all the videos from the first game will have a few extra phases to it. Make you think it's the same fight, until Eggman's ship does something crazy

As much as a defender of Sonic 4 that I am, I do agree with you. (gasp!) At least in that I wish the homing attack was optional, as in a menu option of "Easy" (homing) and "Hard" (no homing). I also wish that the bosses were immune to the homing attack. Makes it too easy to spam. I know that when I play Sonic 4, I and many others will attempt a non-homing attack playthrough (which AAUK says is nearly possible).

The levels are specifically designed around it. They would have to rework much of the level designs to get it to work without it now.

I think if they really MUST have had the homing attack it should have been given to you if you get a blue shield. Kind of like 3D Blast's gold shield. This would open up potential passages for people who pick it up and return to earlier parts of the level or something.

Look, within seconds I came up this. Why is Sonic Team so incompetent?
