Sega has released 8 new screenshots for sonic 4.
Sonic the Hedgehog 4 was something many wanted to see for a very long time. Continuing the story from Sonic 3 & Knuckles, many had lofty expectations for this title. When it finally released, many were split on the project. From it’s episodic nature, different feeling controls and changes that felt strange to fans of Sonic’s classic adventures, Sonic 4 Episode I and II were divisive games to say the least.
I feel like if they could keep improving on the Sonic 4 physics, formula and level design they could have gone from the good Sonic 4 Ep II to something genuinely great for Sonic 4 Ep III.
Strange games. Definitely shouldn't have been "Sonic 4". Seeing as it re-used alot of ideas, level themes enemies and bosses etc, it really should have been called "Sonic Megamix" or something and the levels should have been named after the originals. This would have given SEGA a chance to see what fans reaction was to this style of game, before going in for "proper" Sonic 4. Sonic Mania feels far more "Sonic 4" than the actual Sonic 4 does haha
After today’s leak, Microsoft just confirmed via Xbox Live Director of Programming Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb that a bunch of new games are going to be compatible starting today with Xbox One’s backward compatibility feature.
Casually Hardcore takes a detailed look at sonics 25 year history. This video covers Sonic's 25 year history from the birth of Sonic all the way up to Sonic Boom, covering all the major Sonic games as well as how he changed the gaming landscape both with video games and non video game things.
We got a chance to see this game and will have video when our site launches in April... The thing that bothers us, aside from only having 4 acts, is that Sonic just isn't too Sonic in this iteration. Gone is the figure 8 leg twirl of the past and in place a more rhythmic animation for his run. It's a bit of a blow to long time Sonic fans, but at this stage what else can we do but hope and pray it turns out even semi good?
To us it played like GBA iterations of the series. Only for the xbox 360/live and PS3/psn. We're working on tons of content for our site launch in April, by the way. We've done extensive interviews with folks at GDC, got some game info and other such bits, along with pics and stuff... And while you won't be seeing our faces you will be getting a much different Vgtilt this time round.
I was playing sonic 3 today and remembered how great it was/is!
Hope the game don't fail like the rest after 2003
Its bound to happen, its not going to be good.
The graphics look good, although the photo-realistic clouds in the background look horrible.
FAIL #1- Download only
FAIL #2- Episodic content
I wonder what other innovative ideas SEGA have planned to further ruin the potential of this game.
Bring it
