Sonic 4 episode 2 revealed with an amazing teaser

/sarcasm

Well anyway, Ken Balough(SEGA's digital brand manager I think) did the reveal at Gamespot with some extra info, which sounds pretty good actually.

>New physics engine
>New graphics engine
>Tails

Allthough it may not be much. I'm pretty excited I guess.

Loved the first one.

Just hope they lower the 13 euro pricepoint.

Agreed. The first one's price was pretty steep for somthing that I could beat in two sittings.

$9.99/800Msp would be a pretty reasonable price point, I think.

I'd hope that they'd at least have more than 4 zones, 5 or 6 would be great! Plus with Tails, it's sort of like double the gameplay. So that helps.

Wonder if we'll see Super Tails or some backwards compatibility with Episode 1. Really, I'd take Tails in Episode 1 with or without physics changes to the first game. If they can't alter the physics in the old game, still have Tails be playable. Would freshen up Episode 1.

I like it. I don't love it, it doesn't blow me away or anything, but it is exactly what I was expecting. And that expectation wasn't coming from some "it's Sonic 4, it'll be mediocre shit" mindset. It was just me expecting what was the Sonic 4 Episode 1 logo, tweaked, adding Tails.

Now I'm actually kind of interested in what an episode 3 logo would look like. I'm guessing the Sonic 3 title screen, with Knuckles to the left of Sonic in his Sonic & Knuckles title screen pose. Maybe they'd put tails opposite Sonic.

Some Sonic Stadium forum members are going apeshit over the logo, thinking it points towards more rehashes. I see it as an homage, but not a sign that episode 2 will be Sonic 2 HD, wasn't episode 1 Sonic 2 HD already? Members are also crying foul over the fact that Sonic is in a very similar pose compared to the episode 1 logo. But given that it's an episodic series, it makes complete sense that Sonic would look similar going from episode 1 to episode 2. Heck, who knows, maybe this logo will replace the Episode 1 title screen should the two link up.
