Sonic the Hedgehog 4

A homing attack seems to run contrary to the whole momentum business... The need to use such a thing in the 3D games is one of their big downfalls, I think.

ITT, Crono would rather have Sonic The Hedgehog 2006 2.

I don't see why the homing attack can't keep Sonic's momentum. It may shift it in a different direction, but if he kept the momentum, that could make for some interesting jumping tests.

The blind man walking off the cliff is not making a leap of faith.

LOL @ people who are bitching about Sonic still having green eyes.

^ I'm not bitching about it, I'm just saying if you want to homage the past, follow the example of Turtles Forever and do it right.

I wasn't talking about you, I was referring to people who've complained about it in general.

I'm still hoping the locked bit under characters is a Retro!Sonic.

@asiacatdogblue: Is it just me, or are all Sonic fans horrifyingly whiny bitches? I have yet to see one who can take an insult without bawwing all over the fucking place.

Got sick of my old avatar. But I still can't resist one last Jiiiii~

Just you, I suppose.

Oh, for the record: I'm not, nor have ever been, a female dog.

Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.

Komodin, you're not the typical Sonic fan. You can actually stand playing Sonic 2006.

Really, I can't say. After hearing the fact that Sonic was never about speed to begin with and how the series has gone, I try my best to advoid the series altogether and not think about it. Though, I'm not so proud with Super Mario Bros and Pokemon, either, but it's minor.

Could there be a fanbase much worse than Sonic's? {{Spyro The Dragon?}}

Yep, I'm still here.

Fallout. 'Nuff said.

Every single thing with a fanbase has a subsection of whiny morons. The larger the fanbase, the louder that section gets. To say every one of the fans is like that is a pretty bad generalization.

DOHOHOHO.

I like you already.

It is really amazing how far Fandumb can go. I mean, it's only 5 seconds of gameplay footage.

But I guess that the Sonic The Hedgehog fanbase is legendary in that regard.

^pretty much

Is it me, or are people missing the point of my complaints? At least they're reasonable, unlike the WTF complaints about green eyes.

If I were complaining about gameplay? Yes. But when the level visuals are so blatantly pre-rendered like in both the screenshots and the video, it's really not hard to assume that they'd use pre-rendered visuals for all the levels, otherwise there'd be a clash of visuals.

Though, I guess the animations might change, but this is Sonic Team. My hopes aren't high. I'm one of those who think Unleashed was rather bad, really, it's filled to the brim with Fake Difficulty.

I hope you're being sarcastic, because that's the last thing I'd want.

Now, don't get me wrong. I'd put up with these things if the gameplay is good. If. As I said, my faith in Sonic Team is at its lowest ever.

^Tell me, which of the Sonic games did you like best?

You sure they're pre-rendered and not just rendered?

I'm fairly sure the animations in the video are nowhere near final.

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

The "classics", both Rushes, Chronicles and the Storybook games. Yeah. I thought the Adventure games were fun, as well.

Also, yes, I am sure they're... Well, what I mean by "pre-rendered" is CGI made into static images. Like Donkey Kong Country, basically. It's pretty obvious it's like that. Such visuals don't age very well, at best.

Edit: Also, someone on the SSMB pointed out that it's rated E. As in, it actually has a rating. Which means it's close to being finished.

FRIGGIN YES.

On the other hand, I really don't want to end up paying $70 for this. I'll probably buy half or so.

If it's true 2.5D, there's no real reason to use models instead of sprites, is there?

She's playing with fire! He's not ready for Nibbly Pig!

The backlash about 5 seconds of gameplay footage of a game still in the Beta stage just shows how broken the Sonic fanbase really is. Already crying Ruined FOREVER! beacuse the logo Isn't the fat old chubby Sonic people remember from their ever-so-holy childhoods. Wow... Just WOW.

Still this game is looking half decent.

I'm having to learn to pay the price

The obvious solution to the non-chubby-Sonic dilemma is to use a fish-eye filter.

She's playing with fire! He's not ready for Nibbly Pig!

Yes, a fish-eye filter! Then it will look just like Sonic Xtreme, and everybody will be happy.

I see your point, then...but I'm not quite certain how you're so sure they're pre-rendered when the level (that, again, we've only seen five seconds of) is flying by so fast, and there are no screenshots that I can find that aren't poor screencaps of the trailer.

Really? The official site says Rating Pending, and searching for "Sonic the Hedgehog 4" with and without "Episode 1" on the ESRB site doesn't turn up anything.
