Sonic the Hedgehog 4

I could've made this thread for giving you that link lol. Doesn't matter now lol.

Anyways, I've already said my point in the Chat. This is severely long overdue, and I hope it's good if not better than the recent old-school Mega Man games.

dmaster out.
 
Yeah, but you didn't?

Just saying. I figured someone woulda.
 
Yes, I WAS a Sega Genesis owner when they were around. (The good 'ol days). I'm not sure what they're doing with the "Episode" thing, but I've been looking forward to this ever since Project Needlemouse was announced.
 
I, too, have an old Genesis lying around, and as a huge Sonic fan I'll have to say that this looks AWESOME.

But what I'd really like to see is a third Adventure game xP
 
I'm approaching this with a mix of hope and scepticism. While I would love to see Sonic return to 2D in a non-Rush game, we shouldn't forget that Sonic Team can be very incompetent at times and are more than capable of screwing this up. 3D Sonic was never a bad idea (it can work, Unleashed tells us that), and it was the fault of Sonic Team for the countless poor games.

Also note that the game mechanics will be slightly different. As the linked article above highlighted, it seems that motion sensitive controls will be added into the game (as motion sensitivity doesn't translate too well with fast paced gaming, hopefully it's just a bonus stage thing). Another thing not mentioned is the homing attack, a mechanic not present in S2, S3 or S&K.

Assuming though that Sonic Team doesn't pull another '06, this could be a pretty great game. I doubt it can possibly live up to everyone's expectations though.
 
Homing Attack was a welcome addition to the series, so that's not really a bad thing.

I really don't have any reasons to dislike Sonic 4 so far, except that some of the characters have grown on me over the years, so it's a little annoying to see them dropped because people had issues with some of them. Hopefully they'll continue doing other games too?
 
AWESOME! I personally loved the 2D games (well, except the art) and it looked amazing in that video. Im just sad it took so long. 1991, 1992, 1994, 2010!? Im glad its a wii ware game but usually they know how many points it costs way before it comes out.

Now all sega needs to do is make a sequal to Ristar. That game was awesome IMO, but was much less popular.

Actually I have advanced 3, rush, and rush adventure. advanced's art was horrible. Rush was pretty nice but pretty short. Rush adventure's art was pretty good but i dont really like the concept.
 
The last sonic game I enjoyed playing was hero's. I'm glad and surprised to see a new 2-D Sonic, but I hope it isn't another let down. If I get these, I'll be happy:

4 Player online races
Long and challenging Story mode
More that the normal hazards and power-ups
Some element to the game that makes advancing to the next stage have some kind of addition to you. New abilities earned as you move on or something.

having all of those would be amazing, but even just the 4-player online races would be awesome :)

He was only counting the numbered games in the series (1, 2, 3, 4) which is quite sad that it's taken that long for an entry into the real series. Like I said, this should've been done a long time ago. I expect 1000 Nintendo Points for each Episode (should be five, maybe).

dmaster out.
 
I own the three original cartridges and own a Sega genesis as well. This looks like it'll be very fun to play. I would also like multi-player play. Hopefully it won't be a let down like Unleashed.

He had just said 2D games in the series .-. Mostly I was just being pedantic.
 
I don't think it looks too bad, as long as they don't have loads of full 3D parts it'll be fine IMo. Does anyone think that the '4' in the title suggests a continuation from originals? I doubt it.... :(

Story thus far:

It began as Sonic’s animal friends begin disappearing from South Island. Soon Sonic discovers that evil scientist Dr. Eggman has been kidnapping them and turning them into robots to collect the legendary treasure – The Chaos Emeralds. Sonic decides it’s up to him to save them and embarks on a quest to free his animal friends. Sonic battles Eggman through many different zones. Sonic eventually pursues Eggman to Final Zone where the first in many epic battles between them begins. In the end Sonic is victorious and Eggman’s Mecha fly’s away badly damaged. Sonic returns to Green Hill Zone and re-unites with his friends.

Their reunion is short lived however, as Eggman resurfaces and begins kidnapping Sonic friends again, in an effort to create more workers to finish his ultimate Weapon – The Death Egg! Teaming up with the newly met, Miles ‘Tails’ Prower, Sonic embarks on a new mission through West Side Island in an effort to free his friends and ensure Eggman does not obtain the 7 Chaos emeralds to fuel the Death Egg.

Once the West Side Island is freed, Sonic and Tails eventually board the Tornado and assault the Death Egg itself. After destroying Mecha Sonic, Eggman flees and enters his new Eggman Robot attacking Sonic! After a heated battle Sonic destroys the Eggman Robot and the Death Egg begins to explode.

Sonic and Tails fly down and come across mysterious island called Angel Island. This island is floating by the power of the precious stone called Master Emerald, but now this mysterious island are dropping down to the ocean surface because the Death Egg had been falling on this island. Sonic and Tails are attacked by a Red Echidna named Knuckles the guardian of the island.

Knuckles steals the Chaos emeralds from Sonic, being tricked by Eggman that he is an enemy come to take the Master Emerald.While Sonic and Tails are entangled by Knuckles, Eggman repairs the Death Egg and preps it for launch.

Sonic manages to jump on Death Egg just as it’s flying off. After confronting Eggman on the Death Egg, Sonic defeats Eggman once more and the Death Egg plummets back to Angel Island.

Back on the ground Dr. Eggman begins the repairing Death Egg again. Feeling Knuckles has served his purpose, he sends EggRobo to eliminate this potential threat. EggRobo finds Knuckles relaxing in Mushroom Zone and drops a bomb on him but Knuckles manages to survive. Enraged, the Wild Echidna sets off to defeat EggRobo. Meanwhile Sonic and Tails explore the island to find traces of the Death Egg and find out Eggman’s fate. After and Epic showdown between Sonic and Knuckles, Eggman uses the opportunity to finally steal the Master Emerald and re-launches the Death Egg. With the power of the emeralds, Sonic goes after Eggman, who has taken the Master Emerald into space.

Sonic and Tails secure the Master Emerald and return it to Knuckles on Angel Island. With it’s power restored, the Angel Island lifts off into the sky as Sonic and Tails fly off into the sunset.

But this humiliating defeat only serves to further Eggman’s rage, and he has determined once and for all to rid himself of Sonic. Eggman revisits – and improves – the very best of his creations to defeat our spiked hero.

And so a new Adventure begins…
