The Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Megathread

Seriously? Well, okay then prepare to be blown away...

You American suckers should have finished the job back in 1945.

 

Why aren't they doing this for Sonic 4?! I would pay for that! It's beautiful... I hope that turns into some kind of fangame.

 

And then we come full circle to finally notice a Japanese man made Sonic and all this never happened. :v:

Also, EggEngine + BlobVanDam's stuff was exactly what I was expecting from Sonic 4 as soon as I heard of it. I mean heck, Sega could've just taken Unleashed's 2.5D gameplay, remove the boost, lightdash, etc., add rolling and Spindashing functions, and give it classic level design and it would've been miles better than what we're seeing at the moment. In fact if not for the boost mechanic and 3D sections Sonic Colors looks more like Sonic 4 than Sonic 4.

 

So how the fuck did a furry get moderation privileges on SEGA's official forum. I mean sweet jesus, he/she/it isn't even trying to hide it.

 

Nothing about Colors looks like 4 at all, other than elemental shields (And the timed thing is a real turn-off) but it's a repression from Sonic 3, not an evolution of it.

Woman you be trollin'

 

The whimsical environments, return (and retooling) of some badniks, and powerups could easily become shields or something.

 

Well yeah but Sonic's the only playable character, the paths are designed by Unleashed Day Stages which just means they probably won't focus on alternate routes other than for some "Cool gimmick where you can use a wisp to do some action that's probably on-rails anyway but it looks cool!" kind of thing, and the powers are timed, mot to mention limited to specific areas. It seems like pointless hand-holding to me. Sonic 3 didn't have pointless hand-holding.

 

Am I a pretty woman :3c

Lemme at em I'll roast them over a spit

Well yea but at least I'm a retarded pretty woman

 

I don't know. How did a furry get administrative privileges on Sonic Retro? I mean sweet jesus, he/she/it isn't even trying to hide it.

ps you're a retard

 

I love you. :3

Yes. :v:

[edit: screw it I'll do it later]

 

Or am I taking your comment too literally?

 

Ok I laughed.

I won't be the first person to jump on the "OMG SPEEDBOOSTERZ R EBIL!!!" train, but I will say that in my experience those boosters are purely there to piss you off because they end up launching you in routes you might not want to take, and such a thing can't happen if there are no other routes / terrible level design to begin with.

I don't have any faith in SEGA's current Sonic Team, so until I see real game play footage that isn't just for showing off, I will assume they still suck at designing levels.

 

I was just curious, does anyone have any video of the new title screen? I'd like to see how they've improved it.

I also am not completely against speed boosters when used intelligently, but Dimps doesn't know how to do that. They would be fine in moderation, but they binged on boosters. If they apply this to real life, I would hate to see what they were like if they drink :v:

 

Who knows? It may be in the next update.

 

I can see it now! Ruby: "We'd like to announce that we're announcing an announcement about an announcement involving an announcement regarding an announcement pertaining to an announcement of an announcement of THE biggest announcement since the last big announcement!"

 

And I will be excited for it. All over again

 

I do believe this is correct, from my experiences at the boards, and if you read all his posts, you can tell he isn't as involved as most other SEGA employees. He seems, personally, like a fan that was just given moderator status.

 

He isn't a Sega employee. Most of the forum mods aren't, they are just hand picked by Sega to manage the forums for free.

To whoever asked before about bouncing off badniks to gain height, bad news, it doesn't really work that way.
