    I believe it said something about August when I checked. I can't remember if it gave a solid date, I think it might have just said you had to take it before July 2011.

    Okay, cool. lol at the idea of July 2011. That would be one hell of a delay.

    If it was purely optional when the trip was taken, I would would actually wait until then so I would get to check out the newer game they were working on that I might actually care about.

    Doesn't seem like they've given much development time if they delayed the game only a couple of months. But maybe there isn't much you could do to a downloadable game.

    I don't get the last three... Never played those games. :v:
    There's a lot they could do to Sonic 4...

    How does that invalidate them?

    They're all downloadable titles. They're all doing a lot more than measly Sonic 4.

    I never said it did. I just don't get it. :specialed: Doesn't surprise me though. Two of those are shooters(?) and one's a racing game based on an old PS1 game (I think) so obviously they'll do better than a NextGen game that thinks it's a Genesis game while posing as a watered-down GBA game.

    I think "but maybe there isn't much you could do to a downloadable game that's on XBLA, PSN, and WiiWare" would have been a more appropriate thing to say.

    I'm working on working up the willpower to work on learning how to make my own Sonic fangames. Not quite there yet.
    Emphasis on that "WiiWare" bit, I suppose.

    Exactly how big do you suppose a game could get in terms of level size when you're stuck with a Wii's harddrive, with those graphics? Not that I'm saying Sonic 4 is all that it can be, I'm just saying, realistically. How many megabytes are we talking, here?

    That the game is also a WiiWare title, is really the only thing dragging it down as far as that statement goes. I thought we settled that point ages ago—that the Wii's space limit was probably a factor in the whole "episodic" thing?

    All the bitches.

    New Super Mario Brothers Wii could nearly fit as a WiiWare game. Your point is invalid.



    Edit: Correction! The layout files are less than 10mb, and it has longer levels, and about 10 times as many.

    Uh, nothing changes. The levels can be the same length. JettRocket has more levels than Sonic 4.

    >_> Okay, honestly not following how that works, maybe I'm just not learned enough... um, how would a massive graphical update not alter file size?

    Because other company's actually understand how basic concepts work, and know how to use compression.
