The Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Megathread

I'm referring to airborne inertia being gone. It totally fucks up the way pinball even works.

 

Well, no matter how back the pinball is, it can't possibly be as bad as heroes. That was ridiculously bad, and I even liked heroes.

 

I dunno, it could surprise you.

But my point is, without the pinball physics, having a pinball level is rather stupid.

 

Who said this was a pinball level? It's a casino level. I mean, obviously the flippers for bouncing sonic around are an homage to pinball but the level seems much more focused on card games and slot machines than pinball.

Also never say it could be worse than heroes D: You couldn't MOVE in heroes. In sonic 4, you can at least move sonic like normal.

 

There's some substantial new shit in that Zone compared to the leak. Floating card platforms? I guess we know what they did with Act 2!

 

You cannot deny that spinning card run was awesome...or maybe you can. But it was pretty sweet. Casino Street looks great, no question.
...Am I the only one who likes the soundtrack playing in the trailer? It's...what's the word? Funky? Makes me wish I could listen to it without the sound effects.

 

Hey, you ever wanted to ask Ken something personally about Sonic 4 or anything?

You can. He's now a member on the Sega Forums.

 

This is truly Ken Balough as you imagined him. Although I don't think he's there to answer questions about Sonic 4. "Please note that he's not really here to field questions." according to Ruby.

Anyways, I really like Casino Street Act 2. Finally, something kind of challenging- flipping platforms over a bottomless pit, requiring actual platforming skill and timing, rather than going forward fast. And the path of floating playing cards is pretty cool.

 

OOO...heres something Ken just said.

Episode 2 has NOT been started, only the story has been finished.

Huh, guess that means the next episode will not be till next summer at the EARLIEST.

 

Soooo... episode II will have a self-contained story? Or do they mean by this that they have an idea of the levels we'll go through?

 

Story generally includes stages and bosses also, so basically it means episode 2's layout has been decided.

 

Now they have no excuse to screw it up!!

in fact lets just send them a custom engine and graphics or something right now while we're ahead

 

Or we can just let them take care of it themselves. From the looks of how things are going, I think they can handle it.

 

Wow, that thing about episode 2 is REALLY interesting. That sounded sarcastic, but I mean it. I assumed things like physics couldn't be fixed until episode 3 because episode 2 probably already had level design laid out, but it seems as though nothing has been done for sonic 2 but the story... so things like music, engine, badniks, locations, and more could be changed completely. Pretty cool stuff.

Japanese site updated with new trailer, new screens, new information (in Japanese) and Badnik profiles, a new background, and more!

 

I doubt it, send in that custom engine. If that leak and the recent videos are anything to go by, they need it so people can't compair EP2 to rush.

 

I was kidding.

SEGA wouldn't use our (delicious) crap
