[Guess Who]

Despite taking steps forward, Sega still has not earned back enough good will for me to trust them to not fuck this up. While I do think the screenshots reflect considerably more effort than was put into Episode I (though still not where I'd like it to be - Ritz is right to suggest that they have the art talent at Sega to make much more beautiful levels), the failures of the previous episode coupled with an overall dearth of information on what has been changed are reason enough to be pessimistic.

So through my extremely boring night I wound up watching a Let's Play of Episode I out of boredom and a little hype for this new trailer. You know, the length of the game isn't really a problem. Accompanied with the special stages, for a Sonic title, it's of decent length. The problem lies within the fact that there are so few levels, thus a lack of variety. If they made it so each level was two acts, with an additional level or two to make up for the absence I would be very happy with the longevity of the episodes because there would be a fair bit of variety. My hope is that even with the 4 level limit, is that the acts will have a fair bit of variety to them visually and gameplay wise. The Aquatic Ruin lookalike seems to change from act to act as far as lighting and scenery goes, the snow/carnival level seems to have a huge change in environment between acts, etc. Stuff like that will make me happier with the game as a whole if it's a decent game to begin with.

^ Exactly. Sonic Colors has this same problem with 6 levels with 6 acts. If it was like 9 levels with 3 acts it would have been the ultimate game.

26 minutes left until the trailer debuts. My body is somewhat ready.

They're always late with these.

Jet Set Radio!!!

I do not even like that game, but OK.

"I'm WAITING".....


*taps foot and looks at watch*

I keep refresing the S4E2 Gamespot Page as well as the SEGA Blog.

Talk about Jet Set Radio until then.

My copy does not work any more since I got it very scratched, although it did used to work. GD-ROMs, eh?

I never got too far into it and it lagged when all the police showed up. The police detective was cool, though. I will try a demo on PSN if they have one.

So GameSpot's "On the Spot" show happens in an hour.

Maybe it's there...But then SEGA has lied to us all.

I have been refreshing that page frequently for the last 15 minutes. Prior to that, I was being productive with homework. If this takes over an hour, I'll be super pissed.

I was trying to masturbate to Super Hang-On Arranged Album and then I had to stop mid-wank. This is unacceptable. Here I am with chubs, big fat chubs for Super Hang-On and nothing to do.
