Was there no other variation they could do with Jaws besides a re-color? I almost think this is some form of underlaying revenge for creating so many hacks and reworks over the years...
My hopes for full blown original Badnicks was high with Episode 2. But then I remembered what Billy Bob Thornton said because that's the reality of it. "Wish in one hand, shit in the other, see which one fills up first."
You know, I'm fine if there's like, one or two returning badniks, as long as the vast majority of them are new. It'll be like, "oh hey, look, it's you, NOW DIE!" If it wasn't Chop Chop, you'd all be spouting how it's a rehash because it's a fish that does the same thing as Chop Chop. By this assumption, if Sonic 2 was being released, you'd all call Masher a rehash of Chopper. They both do the same damn thing. I'd rather have a badnik reprise its role than have a new one do the same thing. You'd all just call the new one a rehash, anyway.
Rehashed badniks isn't anything new, Sonic 1 - 3 all had rehashed badniks to a degree. They have shown a decent amount of full blown, new enemies and bosses this time around, so I don't see what the complaining is about. Whether or not it will actually be a solid experience is another story, however. That's something I'm skeptical about.
Pwahahaha, I bet who ever thought otherwise feel like complete assholes now. We all know Jun CAN compose, it's just that he went a bit too extreme with the "basic" style he was going for in episode 1. I have absolute faith that he'll dig deeper for ep 2 (and I hope some of my NON COPYRIGHTED ideas were taken as at least >1% inspiration....but that's just a pipe dream). As long as we get loops that last at LEAST 1 minute, I'll be satisfied. I posted a couple songs on his facebook wall just for the hell of it a couple weeks ago. He's more than likely completed the soundtrack already, but I figured it wouldn't hurt.
Says The Kenesis 1) Only one zone will be a deliberate throwback 2) Something interesting coming soon this month I'm fine with a throwback here and there, to be honest. The occasional rehashed badnik isn't a big deal at all for me, so I'm excited to see what's coming up.
This sort of excuse is complete bullshit. Also, no one wanted another throwback stage. That's assumingly a quarter of the game repeating what episode 1 did.
As long as there's more than 5 normal zones (so 6 minimum if they have 3 acts, 7-8 if 2 acts each for my tastes), I'm fine with just one stage being a throwback galaxy. (and if the layout is brand new).
My guess is this means that the first or last stage will be a very obvious Sonic CD rehash if not a direct location taken from it like Metallic Madness, and the rest will be somewhat like Sonic 4, but less blatant or at least more interesting than Splash Hill Zone. Either way we're probably getting the time travel gimmick from CD, which I only just now remembered in the context of more recent Episode 2 info, so maybe we'll at least get the fun of seeing "Aquatic Marble Garden Ruin Zone Bad Future" or similar. 'Course, I could be giving them too much credit, even while trying not to give much credit, but I doubt they'll get as many easy sales as Episode 1 now that the shock of being called "Sonic 4" and nostalgia has worn off, so they'd have to at least put a little more work into it.
We're going to have art of everything in the entire game before we ever get a trailer. Are we even getting more than 4 Zones this time? 6 should be the minimum period.
Only one throwback level? That's got to be Aquatic Ruin, so I guess that means the desert level is going to be American rather than Egyptian? Because everybody knows that Sandworms without sand are just Catakillers. =P
Colours and Generations would beg to differ. =P I look forward to seeing how true that statement of Ken's is. Agreed that it has to be AR. The flip platform has similar bricks, there's the pillars on the comic cover and of course, Chop Chop.
