I thought they've already said that Episode 3 is not happening, please correct me if I'm wrong.

They have not said that, the closest they've said is this:

When asked if Sonic 4: Episode 3 was a future possibility, Iizuka simply stated that he “can't say.”

This could mean yes, it could just as easily mean no. I suspect it will ride heavily on how Episode 2 does.

So, as I predicted, they are stringing us along with little tidbits of info and building up hype over substance. Let's hope that the game doesn't turn out to be shit. Ep1 was hyped the same way and was a disappointment. Generations was revealed early and often to the point that it was major spoilers and that game ended up being awesome.

I'm going to use my first post of 2012 to say: if you're hyped for this game, please stop. You'll feel much better when it comes out later this year.

I don't think anyone here is dumb enough to be genuinely hyped. Cautiously optimistic at best, maybe.

I'm a flat-out no buy for E2 like I was for E1 (not that that will stop me bitching of course), until it's proven to be unbelievably awesome!

I think the best we can hope for is that they end Sonic 4 after this episode, and contrive to bring Classic Sonic back (timeline be damned), minus homing attack for Sonic 5.

I'm not buying this game unless it can proove it has at least physics that are up to par with the Game Gear games

I liked Episode one enough to probably buy Episode 2 if it improves itself in any way (If it manages to be worse that's another story). I'll admit, Episode 1 had it's flaws, but overall I thought it was pretty fun (except that music was awful). But chalk me up as cautiously optimistic. I like the idea that they've "fixed it" but I want to see more before I take out my jump to conclusions mat.

Perhaps the Egg Station operated similarly to the Archie Sonic Death Egg. It reset the world, making everything look like plastic and made Sonic run funny. By destroying it, the world will return to some normality; all the bubbles will be destroyed, and the world will look real again.

Anyone else here think we'll get some actual media tomorrow, considering what day it will be?

Oh shit. Hedgehog day.

I think we might.

Personally, I hope Sega at the least reveals a new trailer, with gameplay footage to boot. If all they do is show off the title screen music and more concept art, then I lose all hope in Sega's PR team.

[RGamer2009]

If they give us a decent trailer with more than 5 seconds of gameplay footage, I will be happy.

[Dark Sonic]

Actually on second thought, fuck Ep 2 official reveal. I want them to announce Generations DLC.

Or announce both. Be awesome Sega. Do it.

Episode 2 is Generations DLC.

It's what they should have done in the first place. When the whole world is expecting you to throw out a shoddy, inferior game your very first move should be to prove everyone wrong. A lengthy trailer showing better graphics, music and proper momentum and bouncing should have been the very first thing they showed us. Instead, they're STILL acting like we should all be pissing ourselves with excitement by this garbage they're drip feeding us (still love the seal though).

I said this on IRC and people didn't know that, so I'm reposting, I saw this on Crush40's topic and I'm reposting here as it's valid and important:

Senoue is not composing for EP II.

That means the music direction may completely change in style (as in Sonic Rush Adventure Hidei Naganuma was not involved but they tried to emulate his style, although less vocalized).
