The Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Megathread

Let the nerd rage BEGIN!

 

So they remember playing Sonic Rush. Good for them.

 

Or they just have a bad memory.

 

I just remembered something.

Ruby said the next blog update would be in early September...and that has come and gone.

...unless I am mistaken and it is very soon...

 

well it just became the 15th here.

 

IIRC aren't most updates done on thursdays? After 5 pm EST?

 

Yeah, you have to wait until Thursday for an update.

 

Or the physics are better.

...Hey, I can dream.

 

Hey, that'll be a hoot. And the most embarrassing irony to befall this entire forum.

 

If they actually are better in newer builds, I'll be thrilled. I don't see why there'd be any embarrassment if our complaining got things fixed.

 

I think it's the Debbies saying "THEY'RE NOT CHANGING ANYTHING AT ALL THEY LIE THEY LIE" that MegaDash is referring to.

 

It may also be construed to suggest that the physics as they stand now will be remembered as more fun than if they strictly adapted only the Genesis-coded physics. Therein would lie the embarrassing irony if that case turns out to be true.

Hey, apparently the mine cart turned out to be more fun than it looked, but we all whined to have it removed from the console versions.

 

On the iPhone with proper tilt controls? Sure, makes perfect sense. On the 360 with L/R triggers? Doubtful.

EDIT: A little thing, but it made me smile. The game now has a proper world map. It's mentioned in the <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/projectneedlemouse/news.html?sid=6275806&om_act=convert&om_clk=picks&tag=picks;title;3&mode=previews" target="_blank">GameSpot preview</a> and Dread just confirmed it's a full world map and not just a menu. Like I say, it's a little thing that makes some degree of a difference. Especially if the map gets progressively larger with additional Episodes.

 

About the physics: Placebo effect = on.

About the worldmap: Now this is a surprise.

 

Don't you mean something like Advance 2 and Sonic Rush? Classic Dimps!

Still, I'm sure people want classic progression and not a world map, although this could effectively mean Lock-On will be available for all episodes.

 

Maybe I was a little too quick to accuse everyone of lying in the wake of Iizuka's comments. It's possible and rather likely that what he said was just the bullshit line he feeds himself and others to save his ego.

Also I like how SOTI copied and pasted his post from Sonic Stadium ::

 

Yeah, Sonic games never had a world map before...

Wait a moment

 

I actually copied and pasted my post from here. Get your facts straight. =P

 

I'll straighten YOUR facts

But yeah I think the world map idea is pretty neat, I'm interested to see how it's executed. I think that Sonic CD might have been more interesting if they took a similar approach for example.

 

I think if they're adding a world map, their priorities are still hopelessly backwards. It is a nice touch though. I am getting pretty tired of this whole DIMPS = worldmap, pick your level order theme though. A classic "no save" mode would be cool, or even better if it was the default until you beat everything once.
