Sonic 4 Episode 1.

[Firus]

Aww...it should've been the Game Gear HD or something.

/stupid hopes

I'm kind of questioning why they decided to use the menu sounds from Heroes on the site...unless they're using them in the game.

**** it Firus! Now I miss my Game Gear!

 

[Yoshara]

I don't miss my brothers Game Gear, that thing ate batterys like nothing else. It was practically a console with how much I had to keep it plugged in. Plus Sky High zone made me rage/cry.

 

[Firus]

It may suck up battery but it's still amazing.

And my friend has a BLUE Game Gear. I want to steal it.

 

[BSP]

Is the wii version going to be watered down again? :/

 

[Grandeza]

Is this a download or a disk?

 

[§leepy God]

Is the wii version going to be watered down again? :/

♪ I don't know, usually when Sega makes a Sonic games for all the consoles, Nintendo always seems the best, but I'm sure there would be some differences, but since it's downloadable it might have the same levels as the others. †

I used to own a Game Gear. I played Sonic 2 on that until the batteries went dead.
I had the game down and memorized. Don't think I could do as well now though.

And my friend has a BLUE Game Gear. I want to steal it.

I remember wanting the blue one when I saw it in stores. I already had a black one but the blue one looked awesome too.

I was hoping this would be what project needlemouse really was

Turns out Sonic 4's Sonic wasn't truly running at full speed in the trailer. Thank God

 

[Kuraudo]

Okay I'm content with this game now. I hope. XD

That's good because if the speed in the trailer was the fastest he could go, it would be slower then mario speed

 

[GreenKirby]

Fact: Mario in the original Super Mario Bros was actually faster than Sonic 1's Sonic on a straightway, iirc.

Seriously, I am not lying.

In turn, Sonic in Sonic 1 was able to jump higher.

Wow, its like the switched roles

I'm fairly sure sonic was faster in Sonic 2/3 though. That or my memory is really foggy.

 

[finalark]

He is, noticibly too. I played some Sonic 2 the other night, and then switched over to Sonic 1. Man does the Hedgehog run slow in compairision.

 

[Fuelbi]

Look, Im being cautious, but I will definately renew my faith in the good ol hedgehog again if they just do one thing:

Bring back the classic SEEEEEEGAAAAAAAA yell at the beginning of each game

Man I remember when I first discovered Sonic.

I was at LA Fitness and my mom was working out. I was stuck in the daycare center and in there was a genesis (? can't remember well anymore) and in it was sonic adventure 2. **** I remember the good ol days. There was such a long line to wait to go on the **** game, but the first time I played with him I was instantly in love. I would draw nothing but sonic in kindergarden, and I obsessed over getting sonic adventure 2 battle for the gamecube when I saw it. Man then they had to ruin it with '06. I remember playing a demo for it and played it for only 1 minute, but I remembered it differently. I was like ZOMG A NEW ZONIC GAME!!!1111!!!1!!! I thought the graphics were great and the level design was right, but when I actually played the WHOLE game when I bought it, I thought "this game is a piece of monkey crap. Horrible loading times, crappy levels, horrible control with silver, crappy storyline, etc." I swear I felt like just killing myself after thinking it was a good game. Yeah right. I swear I wish I could just burn all those discs in a bonfire. When I saw the trailer for the secret rings... well I really didn't care. It existed and that was that, but when they showed the trailer for unleashed, I remembered that the craze for sonic came back on. One of my friends even had countless pictures of sonic on his computer. He even started identifying himself by that and even mained sonic in brawl for a while........ yeah not anymore though...

Anyways, unleashed, I saw footage and thought it was ok.... until I saw what they did to sonic with the **** werehog.... I mean how can you even be a werehog if you are a hedgehog already. Just call it the monster or something, because there was no bite of any type, and there was no full moon, so it cannot be a werehog. Stupid name really. I was seriously lost all faith in the series by then. Then they decided to do something with a **** sword, which I think was called "Sonic and the Tank"... lol. Now I really hope that this renews my faith in sonic really. I just want the old SEGAAAAAAA to be back and that this adds some new/old thing that makes it memorable for being great.

EDIT: I just remembred, for some reason, I thought they would actually add some character actually called needle mouse or something lol XD

 

[finalark]

One problem with you story: Sonic Adventure 2 is a Dreamcast game, not a Genesis game!!!11!

(/fanboy rage)

But seriously, Sonic the Hedgehog (on the Genesis) was the first game I ever played. As you can guess, I freakin' love Sonic because of it.

 

[Jimnymebob]

I had a Mega Drive, so I was used to my Sonic running really slow in 50hz, so the trailer speed was close to Sonic 1's speed in the UK .

On the PS3 Mega Drive Collection it has the US 60hz versions I think, and the game seems stupidly fast- with it's normal music sounding like the music for when you get the super sneakers on the PAL version XD. I'm not really bothered about how fast or slow he runs- as long as you only gain the top speeds by gaining momentum- not by a boost button, and you can pick up a fairly good speed from standing still; be it with spindash or a roll, then it's all good for me.

Nothing will top Chemical Plant Zone in terms of an adreniline rush though.

 

[Grandeza]

[nostalgia] First Sonic Game i ever played was Sonic the Hedgehog 2: Sonic and Tails on my grandma's genesis. I didn't get into video games till I was in like 3rd grade. I just played some games on my grandma's genesis. When my dad said he'd get me a game system for my good report card in 3rd grade i was ecstatic. We went to toys r us and the only game system i knew about was the genesis. Mind you, i was in 3rd grade in 2004. So when the guy at toys r us asked what system i wanted i said Genesis. Boy must I have sounded stupid. The genesis wasn't in stores anymore and hadn't been for a while. I was really confused and basically chose a system randomly. I chose the gamecube and got a couple random games, one of them being Super Mario Sunshine and another being Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. It was a great decision on my part. I fell in love with nintendo and mario and of course still love sonic [/nostalgia]

I liked the casino Night level and Hill Top Zone a lot too.

Hey, me too. Sega was first, then I went to the N64. I could never get very far in Sonic 1 when I was younger though.

Hey Im 14 and I was born in the 64 years. Don't blame me because I can't tell the difference between a genesis and a dreamcast. I was never really into sega consoles, just sonic

No worries, I was being sarcastic. Seriously though, if you ever plan on talking consoles I suggest doing some research on the subject. I also reccomend backtracking and taking a look at Sega's older games. Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Ristar, Phantasy Star, they have some pretty good stuff in there.

 

[Fuelbi]

I have heard of those.... but Im just not interested enough to see them.

Btw, sarcasm does not translate well into text XD

But I really do hope they have that classic SEEEEEGAAAA scream, anybody knows if they do?

 

[finalark]

Well, your loss.

I noticed, I was hoping the the "/fanboy rage" would be enough to tip you off. I guess not.

They're either going to go either the classic "Seegaaa" chior or they're going with the current one.

 

[Jimnymebob]

I liked the casino Night level and Hill Top Zone a lot too.

Those were cool level, all though Hill Top's song was annoying if played for ages, but I was talking about Chemical Plant having those huge slopes and those figure 8 on its sides loops that give you ridiculously fast and dizzying speeds. No other level did this to that extent.

 

[Fuelbi]

DOH!!!!! I did not see that. Ok all is forgiven

 

[finalark]

Chemical Plant is easily my favorite Zone out of any Sonic game. And the music... easily one of my favorite video game tunes. I suddenly want to play Sonic 2 now...

 

[Grandeza]

I have it on my Wii. It's an amazing game.

 

[finalark]

I'm not talking about anything in this thread, but it's kind of silly how people are already hating on Sonic 4 with only about, hmm... two seconds of game play. I've heard the following:

- He doesn't look like the old Sonic!
- Why are you using 3D? Old Sonic wasn't in 3D!
- He doesn't run fast! And the animation isn't very good!

God, some people are just so unpleaseable. Sega finally makes a game that's supposed to fix all of the problems that modern Sonic is plauged with, and the fans STILL find something to ***** about. Seriously people, the game is currently in beta. Don't judge something until you've played the final product.

True. Chemical Plant Zone was the only zone in a Genesis Sonic game in which Sonic can normally run faster than the camera (although Sonic 3 & Knuckles was overall faster). It was so much fun doing that, even though it was short-lived.

Yeah, I agree with this all the way. So much fuss about small details that shouldn't matter.

 

[Miszi]

I agree too, although running animation is weird... that doesn't matter anyways i'm 90% sure it was beta running and as long as it won't affect gameplay i don't care.

Welcome to the Sonic fandom. Please take a seat before you start raging, as you'd eventually get tired from *****ing about the un-please-able fanboy's *****ing.

Being a hardcore Sonic fan with some sort of sense (hey, an oxymoron), I can tell you that that's just the tip of the ridiculously stupid iceberg.

The run animation is silly though, I'll say that much.

 

[Omnicron's Baklava Enterprises]

Honestly, the Sonic series has taken everything too far.

I'm sorry for the fans here, but it has.

 

[Espy Rose]

I'm inclined to agree.

Not much that can't be done but reboot the entire ****ing series.

And as much good as that MIGHT do, I'm pretty sure most people would be upset.
I'd mourn the loss of Blaze. ;-;

 

[~TBS~]

Finalark *****.

I really dont mind which model they use, its still freakin Sonic. This is what the fans were asking for, and its what they're getting.

The run animation was pretty funny. How can you run at full speed when you're barely speed walking? XD

 

[finalark]

Nothin' like a good ol' reboot to get a declining franchise back on track.

i feel sad that sonic has been reduced to a light *** download over xbox live

And PSN! And Wiiware! And ???!

But seriously, if Sonic Team doesn't screw this one up then just consider this being Sonic getting back up on his feet. If this succeeds, then next they will probably try to make a game that fixes 3D Sonic. Sonic Adventure 3 maybe?
