well i dont know. its little bit wierd grahpic and when i saw gameplay then everything is slow. i hope they bring classic gameplay back.

... but we'll have to see how it will look in motion.

Also, the (dumb, as usual) decision by Sega to release this as episodic-content, has pretty much already made me decide that I'll just wait till the whole game is complete, and available for a bargain-price.

But man, those screen shots sure brings back memories of my young sega Genesis days :)

... Sonic 1, 2 and SonicCD were the greatest SOnic games :) After that, with the change in design and later the change in gameplay, it all went downhill faster than a blue rodent coming out of a spiral and 3 loopings...

I think Sonic 3 and Knuckles were both amazing games as well.

Jesus, Spell check man, it's your best friend.
Seriously though, this as old school as it's gonna get. I actually really like this screens. It looks like a clean fun game, and goes to show that Sega actually gives a crap about it's fan base.

Let's just hope that the "werehog" doesn't pop in at some point in the game.

A problem I have though is that it seems like this game is being developed pretty damn fast.

I hope they take their time on it and really try to make it "the best sonic ever".

Have you seen the "new" Megaman?

AngryFork5159d ago

Only thing I have a problem with is it takes too long for his legs to start spinning. They only start spinning when you're going REALLY fast which doesn't happen often in these levels. It needs to happen sooner.

Also the jumping animation is bad, looks too floaty and 'next-gen' but it'll kill the experience if it makes things slower.

If they fix those 2 things i'll be very happy. I'm still getting it though.

Sonic’s Episodic Adventures – The History of Sonic the Hedgehog 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
