I do hope his nitpics get fixed.

I agree with them even if they are minor... the jump one really Does need fixing.

Really negative GoNintendo impressions:

http://http://www.gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=127207


Everything in this quote is the truth.

I wish more sites would write impressions like this. Instead of crappy fake impressions like "SONIC MOVES FAST AND IS 2D SO IT MUST BE GOOD!!!". Really, if there were more negative impressions around, maybe it'll sink in to SEGA and they'll delay it even more until they get it right.

YEAH! Why are all the REAL critics singing out of tune! Everyone should listen to this amateur Nintendo blog! There word > everyone else’s.


Funny how this site hates big name game journalists and sites until they say something nice about Sonic.  :afroman:

It'll be interesting to see if the Homing attack really is that bad though. I guess I'll wait and see.

The homing attack is an optional move, so if you just want to play with normal jumps you'll be able to do so.

You'll see the optional when they make you cross bottomless pits by hitting consecutive enemies using the homing attack. Fuck it, it should've never left the 3D games. That was a stupid decision and even Nintendo fans can see it. Get your act together, Iizuka.

Where has there been bottomless pits that were crossed via homing attacks? I haven't seen any thus far.

I don't even mind the homing attack in this game.

ALL gaming "journalists" are amateurs! :lol: *shot*

But seriously, he's like the only guy that wrote a preview actually analyzing the game. Sites like IGN and Gamespot were all "Hey it's Sonic! And it's 2D! So it's good!" without actually going into detail.

And you can tell by the videos that the physics are noticeably bad.

This. Besides, I probably can't even get rid of that stupid gigantic aim that's over every single thing in the game world.

Geez so much nitpicking because of a stupid Nintendo's boy complaint..

"You'll see the optional when they make you cross bottomless pits by hitting consecutive enemies using the homing attack. "
This was also true before homing attack, with enemies/disappearing platforms.

Just relax guys. It looks like it's coming out alright overall. It looks fun..

You can't "travel" through the air in the games without the homing attack. Disappearing platforms is another business, it's called platforming and not auto-pilot.

Well, yeah. It looks. I'm willing to give it a shot but this is Sonic 4 and it's not being treated as such.

I just don't get what's wrong with this to not be a Sonic 4.
It has great graphics, 2D gameplay, special stages, Boss Fights, fast paced platforming.. It's just like the old ones. I'm not getting what's wrong with it... Homing Attack could be great or awful. But until I try it, it just seems like a valid new gameplay feature, like spin dash was in 2 and flying was in 2/3 and power ups was in 3.

Oh, if that's what we're going to compare them to then I'm going to have a blast with Sonic  4. I have yet to play a Sonic game I did not enjoy.

I'm guessing you skipped every home console Sonic game since Adventure 2.

Sonic 06 entered the so bad it's good category.

The games can be enjoyable and not good.. Or the other way around, Sonic Heroes was good but I didn't enjoy it all that much.
