So I wonder if we'll get a new piece of concept art today or if they'll stop now that they've released the trailer (They sure will, Past me). Which I suppose I enjoyed, the game looks pretty cool. Nice that it's coming out rather soon too. I'm willing to bet the larger enemies like the polar bear are Act 1 bosses/minibosses. It'd also be pretty sweet if the terrain continued and there was seamless transition between Acts, a la S3&K. The latter seems less likely to happen though, as there are probably things about the first episode they don't want to change out of fear for alienating the folks who picked up Episode I without much experience and loved it (Homing Attack reticule/sound effect, 'modern' character design, Bubbles chains, etc.).

EDIT 4367: ICE BLOCK - Dis a block you break through with yo face in snow land.

SNEGGMAN - Is what it looks like it is.

Loving that Sneggman art xD.
Interesting and pretty rare thing: a pun in Russian language. In russian Snowman is Снеговик[Snegovick] looks like SnEGGovick. xD.
And Snow is Снег [SnEGG] xD

Your second link is broken. This is that 2nd pic:

Failing another open book test I see Sega?

Looks more like a mod than a sequel. Saves me some dough just skipping this one.

It looks like a completely different game, to me...

Now about the gameplay, I think we still have to wait a little more to judge.

THEY DIDN'T FUCKING FIX THE SPINDASH AND ROLLING SOUND EFFECT. FUCK YOU DIMPS!

I'm not buying this game now. I am dead serious it is because of that reason. Call it a pet peeve if you want, or plain retarded, but that honestly throws it away from me. If you can't even get a single sound effect that IS CONSTANTLY USED throughout the game right, you don't deserve to be making Sonic games. Jesus fucking christ...

Check at about 0:48 seconds in. You can hear Tails rev up into the Marble Garden wheel. The only thing that seems wrong is the noise the speed boosters make when it sends you in a ball.

To me it seemed that the spin dash charging sound effect in the trailer is the same as the one in Episode 1, so yeah, it looks like they didn't fix the sound effects.

No, Cyrus is right. I just compared Sonic 4 Episode 1's Spin Dash sound effect to Sonic 3's, then compared that to the Spin Dash sound effect in the trailer. There is one instance when the correct rolling sound effect plays when Sonic and Tails are doing their combo move at the 40-42 second point in the trailer, and again at the 48 second point.

Red rings are back... again.
You know it almost starts to feel like red rings are a very cheap way to force exploration. I mean it's kinda cool to have unlockables but red rings are getting old real quick. There are much more creative (and less cheap) ways to make us want to explore levels and increase replayability. Like more unique alternate paths.

Most likely the combo move has different sound effects, but at the 48 seconds point, it's hard to see but it looks like Tails maybe released the spindash? It made the speed boosters and the spindash release/rolling sound in episode 1 in that part after the charging sound effect from ep1.

You know I can't provide you with the link. Yes it's that site.

[Dark Sonic]

Oh yay Red Rings. I love Red Rings.

No really I do I think they're a great idea because of the fact that they force you to go elsewhere. After a while I tend to take the same path all the time since I'm most used to it. Red Rings give me reason to explore.

[Roller]

Of course, a link so you don't have to go through all that old tat: Xbox 360 achievements

Of note is a new level called SKY FORTRESS ZONE. Also, you fight Metal Sonic in it (in Act 1!!)

Also, I love red rings too. They are my favorite of the 'New Classic' ideals that Generations introduced, and I'm glad they're back again for Sonic 4.

What do you mean? They were in Colors first.

[Blue Emerald]

Yeah, I'm looking at the new carnival screenshot on NeoGAF right now, and... were those neon lights always there, or did they just add them? I was just saying not too long ago how the level could look better if the rollercoaster rails were decorated with neon lights, and well, here they are! O_o

wtf? Maybe someone at SEGA gaffed. Either that, or they expect people to play co-op at least 50 times while playing as Tails.

So... Sky fortress... Do you think the rehash zone is Wing Fortress?
