    Dang! The visuals have seen a 100% improvement.

    Don't now how it plays, but at this point it looks like a legitimate Sonic 4 always should have. Approved so hardcore, gimme more. Trailer, please.

    Most awkward thing I've seen from a Sonic game in a long time.

    But

    I totally called tag-team combo moves when we got the first trailer. Woot.
     
  2. So this game's tropes are Aquatic Ruin, Ice Cap, Casino Night (Unless the previous two are actually the same level, in which case it's kinda like Ice Paradise from Sonic Advance 2) and either Oil Ocean and/or Launch Base.

    Not surprising that S4E2's Special Stage is the Sonic 2 Special Stage.

    Sonic X Tails forever!

    The screenshots actually show things to like about the game, I like the new environments, the graphical style and the co-op looks interesting. Considering these were released early I wonder if there's a trailer that's supposed to be released with those screenshots.

    Am I allowed to be impressed with how nice this game looks even though I know it will break my heart in the end?
     
  5. Actual 3D graphics, or are mine eyes deceiving me? I have to say, it seems Dimps learned a lot from doing Generations 3DS, and their mistakes from Episode 1.

    I'm REALLY excited for this!
    The screenshots look excellent, and I see they changed Sonic's running animation

    But I have to say, I'm kinda impressed, too. Let's hope we wont be too disappointed.

    Holy fuck, those screens look GORGEOUS. Sega's got me interested now! Here's hoping Dimps doesn't screw it up. I was quite pleased with the physics in Sonic Gens 3DS, so I'm ready to see how they'll be played out here with Episode II.

    Also, I'm really interested to see how the Co-Op mode will play out on iOS and Android devices. I'm assuming Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi with a person nearby that has a copy of the game? Who knows. Who cares.

    Whoa.

    could be wrong, but it sure doesn't look just like the little planet or just the Death Egg. Eggman's making a Death Egg from the Little Planet.

    This is going to be fantastic.

    Well

    Damn! This is reminding me of Donkey Kong Country Returns in a way.

    :ohdear: I hope we get more than four zones though.

    New graphics look really nice, but im not liking the Special Stage being yet ANOTHER rehash on Sonic 2's, Dimps falls too hard on that trope as is! Outside of that nitpick, im looking very forward to this installment.

    So... Place your bets. How much do you guys bet that Sega will debut the game's trailer tomorrow? If the screens are already up on XBL, then they have no choice at this rate.

    Holy crap! This is looking so much better visually speaking and the confirmation of 2P mode both offline and online sold me the game already!!

    I still don't like the looks of this. Sure, they showed me some shiny new pictures, but it still looks like a rehash of Sonic 2 with more than likely shitty physics. Sorry for being devils advocate here, but you guys really need to come back to reality. Until I see actual game play footage, I'm not moving my opinion from what I think of Episode 1.

    Now I'm curious. Do you think that the game is already up on PartnerNET?

    I love it. It's like they have a mole here at Retro, watching Sonic Fan Remix and having someone rip it off.

    Also going to bet the oil ocean style zone is also gonna be a desert level trope combined into it: there is sand in the background everywhere and it would be a suitable place for that scarab/dung beetle badnik and sandworm..

    So that's a marble garden/aquatic ruin combo zone, an ice cap/carnival night combo zone and a oil ocean/sandopolis combo zone?

    Online 2 player versus, if it is like the one in Sonic 2, will make me immensely happy.

    Well Aquatic Ruin seems to be combined with Marble garden a little here ('Relief' Badnik and wheel device). Also, If you look at the 5th pic, you can see the Christmas Trees in the distance. The 'Factory Trope' here seems different (in a good way) to me for some reason.

    Though those screens look gorgeous, I'm keeping my hype down until I see how it plays.
