Alright so episode one is gonna be released in a few days which means that Episode 2 is gonna be the next thing we're gonna wait for. A few info. has been released to the internet these days like the whole story of all episodes has been written already which means that episode 2 is just around the corner, just making new adjustments and stages.
Anyways it's been said that we will hear more about episode 2 in 2011.
So some stuff to discuss.
- What are you expecting in the next episode?
- Will some of Sonic's friends will have an appearance?
Well, for one I hope it'll be longer than the first by at least two zones and hopefully something cool gets carried over from the 1st episode when you lock the two games on.
And the appearance of Tails and Knuckles has already been hinted at and is highly likely so... I dunno. It'll be good(To me at least) and I'm sure of that.
Hopefully Mighty or Fang the Sniper makes an appearance for old times sake...
It would be nice if episode 2 is the episode where sonic meets his friends. First just a stage or 2 with sonic only, after you can get tails (and play as it) and later in the game knuckles.
However I hope they'll hold it on sonic, tails and knuckles as the main characters. And robotnik as enemy.

That's true but what does it matter? xD I need more things to talk about :P

you do know they cut out HS b/c it was more likely to give people seizures?
I mean, HS was a flashing strobe light, pretty much
I just don't want Sonic to be the ONLY playable character

Tell that to the fags.
SEGA n' Sonic Team hasn't given a sh*t about them for over a decade
But I guess with the recession n' everything,it seems they don't have a choice...
But it appears that even after they've given them what they want,the sonicfags still say Sonic sucks
They're seriously giving us sane people a bad name
Quote from: Elija2 on October 06, 2010, 10:37:05 AM
The reason there is all this complaining is because the Sonic fanbase is so divided. Everyone has their own vision of a good Sonic game and they won't accept what Sonic Team gives them. Too bad, it's Sonic Team's fault in the first place for releasing sub-par Sonic games and skewering what people think a good Sonic game is.
But back on topic, I predict that Episode 2 will have 4 uninspired zones and a bland story.
Also the music will be unremarkable.
Yes,yes we all know you think Sonic isn't for real gamers
Take your negativity to youtube
kthhxbai
You have people wanting it back to the 90's just like sonic the hedgehog 4 is going to be. However there you had tails and knuckles playable so I think those wont bother when those 2 characters are coming in too.
About this group I've read 1 reaction yesterday, he said they still changed the personallity from sonic and he didn't like that. The most of those fans always have something to bother about -_- BE HAPPY THEY'RE DOING THEIR BEST FOR YOU!!!
You have people wanting it like sonic adventure 1/2 they'll like sonic colors however I hope they're going to accept the wisps, further they'll be begging for chaos like me I guess xD
You have people just like how it is right now. Those wont bother about it because I guess they'll hold the currend sonic personality forever and the HD too ofcourse.
(This is not that everyone have to choose you can also be neutral or kind of mix xD But this is what I get when I look at the youtube reactions and the sonic fans I chatted with. I even chatted with a guy from my own language, he was like 7-10 years old and HATED the first sonic series. He loved sonic unleashed (WII version) a LOT more than sonic adventure 2.)
Well for me, I liked the first sonic games I played sonic the hedgehog 1 when I was like 4-5years old. I played sonic adventure 1/2 on the gamecube version when I was about 7 years old. At the time I really started gaming. And I like both personality's from sonic! I just dont like sonic and the black knight and mario & sonic (winter) games. (some also bother about the secret rings but I dont since that's their FIRST sonic game on the wii, then you always have to look wich futures you can use the best for sonic. I think sonic colors will be the best ones using it. -> Just controls and no/less swinging.)
Anyway the game I liked the most is sonic adventure 2 that's also the one I got a real concole. That's the one my sister told me there were more sonic games.

Hopefully Tails and or Knuckles appear in Episode 2.
And hopefully it's just them! Don't want to see any of the new characters in Sonic 4 like Shadow or Silver... that'll just ruin the classic feeling.

I'd actually like to see them only add in Tails for the next game, then add in Knuckles in the third, and so on. Once the whole thing is out, they could give a free download to anyone that has every episode that lets you play any of the episodes as any character.

Yeh it would make sense to add Tails in Episode 2 and then Knuckles in Episode 3... then hopefully they leave it at that for Episode 4.
I would honestly hate it if Sega added all the characters from previous Sonic games into Sonic 4.... like I said before it'll just ruin the classic feeling

So...
EP1: We only see Sonic.
EP2: We only see Tails (Tails Skypatrol/Adventure remake?).
EP3: We only see Knuckles.
EP4: We only see...god knows who else...Eggman. 8D *shot*
And the once we buy all of those games we have to pay more money to play what we already beat as another person?
No thanks, I'd rather just play every game as Sonic and get third party characters via PS3 DLC. They do it all the time.

heh, lolno. if that would ever happen, than SEGA and Dimps would have been attacked by little kids who took over the lead.
and I honestly think that there will only be three episodes, and I've been holding the 'Tails in EP2 and Knuckles in EP3' idea in my mind for quite a few months. it would also be awesome if they'll mix all three episodes together that makes one game, and then getting released in stores.

I actually think 4 episodes.
1: The beginning with sonic the hedgehog (well, beginning. After 1/2/3&k)
2: Tails returns (and I think here all emeralds should get stolen since you're able to get them all in episode 1.)
3: Knuckles returns
4: The final battle

I meant that the other characters should be included IN ADDITION TO Sonic. And I said that the download to allow the other characters to be playable should be free. It would be stupid to charge for it.
But, playing as Robotnik could be interesting. On that note, a question to those who've played it: is he referred to as Eggman or Robotnik? It's not like I'm hung up on it or anything, just curious.

Its Eggman as far as I know
I dunno why people still hang onto a simple name that has not been used fro years
Like, if its not from a time before 2000, then its just unacceptable...
I heard ideas that kinda remind me of the S&K thing...
You plug in S&K to play as Knuckles in STH 1, 2 and 3
This time, you download a thing that allows you to play as the other charas in the previous games.
Am I right?

I don't really mind either way. They can call him whatever they want as long as the game is good.

You mean like how those old GCN games used to check for data from previous games (I know there are a few where you could do that)? Sounds reasonable, I guess. And they had DLC for Megaman 9 and 10, so I'm not doubtful Sega might do the same here. They might even have a DL that let's you play all 4 episodes in succession...nah. But I'd love to play the episodes as Shadow. If they do get DLC maybe they'll make up for the exclusion of all those playables in 06...Amigo would be interesting...

Episode 4 you should be able to play as Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, and like you said the final battle with Eggman and (maybe) Metal Sonic?
But I think there should be 4 episodes... and maybe put them together for a retail version but that could be a waste of money? Cuz you've already downloaded every episode so what would be the point in it? That's just my theory

This isn't likely for a console game, but for Telltale Games' episodic PC releases, they provide a physical copy at about a fifth of the retail price to people who have downloaded every episode already. I don't think that's possible for a console game, though. I don't remember them offering the same deal to people who downloaded the Homestar Runner game for the Wii.

Forbidden link is forbidden
I already beat ep. 1. This better come faster the 2011.
I want to see better physics (yes really), new bosses and badniks, and Tails. I seriously think they are going to do what they did in the past Sonic 1 had just Sonic (duh), the they introduced Tails in S2, and Knuckles in S3.

that's about what they said...roughly...so ya.
Quote from the plot.
QuoteSonic the Hedgehog 4 is set shortly after its predecessor Sonic & Knuckles; in the game, the main protagonist Sonic destroys Doctor Eggman's space station, the Death Egg. With the Death Egg destroyed and Angel Island returned to the sky, Sonic decides that it is time to take a break. After parting with Tails and Knuckles, he sets off to explore new territories alone; however, unbeknownst to him, his nemesis Dr. Eggman has survived their last encounter, and has revisited and rehashed some of his "very best" robotic creations in another attempt to defeat Sonic. Sonic must travel through a variety of zones to defeat Doctor Eggman once again.
and there are some quotes in 3D Sonic games that tells them about their past adventures like what Knuckles said from Heroes.
"These mushrooms are like the ones on my island" if my memory serves me right. That tells about Angel Island of course which means they've been there before.
Also the Metal robots in the capsules in SADX, Metal Sonic and Silver Sonic, shows proof that they were kept safe by Eggman after their struggles in the past.

And here I was assuming it was just an alternative Sonic Universe
I would basically only care for Sonic, Tails, Knux, or Shadow, to me, Shadow never actually ruined anything for me, as for the newer ones, if Sega adds them, then i'm sending the Cuccos on all of the developers asses.

Sonic Heroes is the ONLY game where they both followed you, and you HAVE to use them to beat the levels

Tails was the only one who followed you in Sonic 2, and you could plug in a 2nd controller and use him
So he was supermega useful and made the game MUCH easier
In Sonic 3, you had the option to have ails follow you or not, and if he did follow, you could plug in a second controller and use him
He was 2x as mega useful this time cause he could fly.
In Sonic Adventure 1 in the missions where Tails did follow you, you could still plug in a second controller and use him
In conclusion, you obviously have no friends to play with =/

All I can say is, 1. they better fix the shit physics and 2. they need to add more maps :V
Fucking people with their fucking physics, does that even ruin the game?! It plays the same way the classics does now people complain about very small detail, screw the physics, it's the greatest 2D Sonic siderscroller. I don't care if Sonic's spin attack doesn't move 5 cm away by just pressing a simple down, A SIMPLE FREAKING DOWN, and people already hate the game because of that? That's what the spindash is for! Hell, they gave them want they want now they hate a minor detail that fanboys only hate.

It's not that classics suck compared to the adventure games. Both are just incomparable since 2D has different approaches than 3D gameplay and both sides has different points on which is better so it's kinda hard to say if 2D's are better than 3D's.

When it comes right down to it, it's really just each to their own.
But do know where those adventure games
came from, and acknowledge the quality that the team of old managed to bring together as they challenged the face of videogaming.

They owe credit to the 2D games, yes, but only for concept. You could just as easily slap a walrus in Sonic's place in the 3D games and not be able to tell it was originally an Sonic game. But then again, that goes for a lot of games.

Do you mind not arguing about EVERY LITTLE POINT THAT YOU DISAGREE WITH?
And plus, it really depend which your more used to and which you grew up with.
My opinion on 2D:
Advance series>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Classics
And Advance>>>Rush Adventure
Now, SEGA is giving you what you were begging for.
And the
very same fans that were
begging for a Sonic the Hedgehog 4 and now BITCHING about it because EVERY LITTLE THING in not the same.
Ungrateful bastards!
If I was given an Advance 4, I'd be perfectly fine, NO MATTER THE F*CKING PHYSICS
Be happy b/c SEGA gave you classic Sonic fans a Sonic 4, m'kay?

Lol i really don't agree with you here...

from what i've heard, cream's in episode 2, just saying what my friend said he read in a magazine

My god... i just thought of a character that could be in the next episode....
Amy Rose
she was in Sonic CD and that came out before Sonic 3. she wont retain her original appearance from that game though, it would be her current appearance and since Metal Sonic is going to be in the next episode...she could too..O_O

As long she doesn't hug you randomly...
Just another thought: what about the Flickies?
And yet another thought if they do include Knux or Tails, will they give them new Super Forms or will they retain their old forms or will they even be able to go Super at all?

1. They don't have "super" forms, per se.
2. Super Tails and Hyper Knuckles are states induced by the Super Emeralds. That makes them "Hyper" forms.
3. xD
But that would be nice...
Just to clear this up,
Characters in EP2: Sonic, Tails and Metal Sonic. (There's atleast a huge possibility that Tails is in it.)
And EP3: Knuckles (probably.)
There are only three episodes so that should be it, but does EP2 have a secret character at the end? We don't know, yet.

It's always a possibility. They should take memorable moments from Sonic 1 - 3 and continue the action from there since this is suppose to be the actual continuation to the Sonic saga after Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
I know this is a little late but for others who don't know yet, Metal Sonic will highly have an appearance in Episode 2.
I kinda found it out when I watched the Super Sonic ending in Ep. 1.

Unless this is gonna be like CD... But CD comes after 2...
OK IM GONNA SAY THIS AGAIN.....
Metal Sonic has a high chance of appearing since he was in Sonic CD which came out before Sonic 3...
And if it is confirmed that the robot is indeed Metal Sonic, that means there is a chance Amy could be in this...

CD > Sonic 3 > Sonic & Knuckles > Sonic 4
It seems no one ever played S3&K to the end.
After the credits, we saw that MECHA SONIC is clearly still alive.
But they never made a Sonic 4.
Now, that we finally got Sonic 4- they mix up Metal and Mecha.

Maybe it's connecting the time lines somehow? And you never know. Just because they showed Metal doesn't mean Mecha might still not make an appearance. Maybe they plan on mind fucking us and make them the same damned robot. ::)

That would be pretty useless. Knowing Sonic Team and Dimps they'd just make you replay through the same levels, so the only difference in both storylines would be a short cutscene before the game begins.
Sonic Rush was made by Dimps and had two storylines; one for Sonic and one for Blaze. Besides a couple of short text bubbles, they were identical.

Episode 2 is now early in development. >:D
A trailer is to come out soon and we're to expect some new original stages in the upcoming episode.
They kinda plan to do things like what they did in Episode 1 like releasing demos first and see people's feedback.

How about shadow in Sonic 4 :episode 2?
NO.
EDIT: He didn't appear until SA2.
The second episode of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 won't be launching until 2012 - well over a year after the first installment of SEGA's episodic series launched in 2010.
Sonic the Hedgehog 4, as its name suggests, was slated as a return to Sonic's 2D roots. Its first episode proved successful, bagging a coveted Eurogamer 9 in October last year. "In short, this is the game SEGA should have made 15 years ago," said Ellie of the game.
With Sonic busy stuffing his face with cake while he celebrates his 20th anniversary this year - and while he also busies himself with the promising looking Generations, a medley of the SEGA mascot's finest moments - the next episode is set to release sometime next year.
"This year, 2011, is the anniversary, so we're focusing on the celebration title," Sonic Team's Takashi Iikuza told Eurogamer, "But moving forward to 2012, Sonic will still be going, so I'd hope to provide Episode 2 then."
Going the episodic route is normally an indication that there'll be a quicker turnaround than there is in a normal sequel cycle - so was it always the intention to have such an extended hiatus for Sonic 4?
"It was always the plan," said Iizuka, "We knew about the anniversary year, and Generations was planned way in advance. It was always our plan to release Episode 2 after Generations."
Valve found itself in a similar situation when it opted for an episodic route for its Half Life 2 successors - and it looks as if the chances of a third Sonic the Hedgehog 4 episode are as slim as seeing an imminent return from Gordon Freeman.
"We can't say if there's going to be Episode 3 or not," Iizuka said when asked if there would be such a long wait between the second and third takes on Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
SEGA was unable to comment on when the new episode would be released, or whether it would be the last we'd see of Sonic 4.
At least we have an estimated release date
Sonic 4: Episode 2 takes place... After Sonic CD?! Since according to them, Sonic CD wasn't connected to the other 4 games so Sonic 4 was the only way to bridge them way all together.

thats horseshit.
i want Mecha Sonic.
no Knuckles or Tails huh? so it's just Sonic, Amy, Eggman, and Metal Sonic
Nah, Tail's would probably in Episode 2 since it took place after Sonic 2... I think?
I also remember giving us a hint with the hedgehog and a fox thingy, I can't seem to recall anything about that.
Didn't Episode 1 come after S&K? How does this make any sense whatsoever?
That's the big mystery but I guess we'll have to wait since the guy said that once we've played Episode 2, everything's gonna come all together.
Also, there might be a chance we'll be seeing those time travel post in Ep. 2 since I've read stuff about Ep. 2 borrowing some elements from CD.
Is Episode II even a sequel to Episode I?
Well it wouldn't make sense if they called it a saga wouldn't it?

Knuckles Chaotix. That explains a FUCKLOAD of a lot. in fact, Sonic Heroes is more of a sequel to that game than Sonic CD or Adventure 2 because Metal Sonic's final form is VERY similar to Metal Mettalix in KC. And Sonic Heroes gameplay is based off of Knuckles' Chaotix anyways.

Unless we have the Cannon order really screwed up and it's:
S1 > S2 > S3 > S&K > S4 > SCD > KC, etc.

That's like saying Devil May Cry 3 can't be set before Devil may Cry 1.

I see your point but this isn't a squeal to a game. This isn't Sonic 5 but Sonic 4: Episode 2. It's a lot less likely for the game's second chapter would be set before it's first, unless they set it up all prequel flashback style.
As for the rest of the series, since Tails was in 3 and S4 came after S3&K according to SEGA themselves I highly doubt that the order from S1 to S&K is wrong. Tails being out of Sonic CD is no indication that it came before 2 because neither Amy, nor Metal Sonic are in the later games and since Metal is (apparently) in KC I doubt Eggman would have replaced him by S3.
See my point?
It's highly probable that Sonic CD was set in an entirely different timeline.

A series of episodes which answer the questions about what happened when, like Chris said?
So Episode 1's a sequel, Episode 2's a prequel... What's Ep. 3 gonna be?! o_o
Something that'll explain stuff before Sonic Adventure?

I still don't really like how they did the order there, but I guess there's no
huge problem about it. I'd like to hear your reasoning though, something other than the fanbase saying Sonic 2 and Sonic CD were right next to each other.
Sonic CD was never really connected to the story line of the classics... according to Sega. So Sonic 4 was the only way for them to bridge everything together.

I have some high hopes for Episode 2. They scrapped the Sonic Rush engine and put together a new physics and graphics engine, which I'm happy about mainly because the Rush Engine doesn't belong on a console game, unless they plan to remake the Rush series on console. The addition of Tails, it will prove to be a blast to the past of playing some Sonic 2, running through green grassy plains with everyone's favorite two-tailed sidekick. Now onward to Metal. Just looking back at days of running through then getting stopped by Amy, Thinking "Will Sonic get some?" Just when you get your hopes up, BLAM, Metal Sonic comes in and snatches away the only piece of ass in the games. You have to save her and maybe you'll get some, so you run through, changing the past and creating a better future. Then comes the moment of truth. You and Metal Sonic. One on one. Mono E' mono. You and Metal race for life and death, then you win and save Amy. You go onward to finish off Eggman once and for all. My daydreaming of the past aside, Episode 2 will be great.

I'm content with spending another 15 bucks if it's problems are fixed, I'll pay 20 if they get new writers for the main series.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. $15 is too much for an episode of an episodic game. Episode 1 & 2 of this (not considering the possibility of an episode 3) together will cost $30. You can buy Back to the Future: The Game, which is 5 episodes long, for $25. And its on disc. This is download only. They don't have to pay for packaging, discs, printing, etc. They have no excuse for charging so much.

But we don't know how long episode 2 will be, and If it's good, even if it's short, I'll gladly pay $15 to show support to the devteam.
It's the principal of the matter.
In the end how much they can charge for a game depends on what they need to spend. Bigger companies generally need to pay their work force more, especially if there are more people. Your argument makes no sense because you aren't factoring in every thing. The BttF team could make a 100 episode saga but if they can get by paying their employees dirt then they can charge less for those 100 episodes then SEGA can paying each of their workers by the thousands.
I'm just hoping SEGA doesn't screw up as much as they did with '06.
I really doubt Sega has a huge team of people working on Episode 2. Regardless of that, Sega's games get international releases. I'm pretty sure Telltale's games only see English releases. I doubt Telltale sees anywhere near as much profit as Sega does on Sonic.
And like I said, Sonic 4 is not on disc. Every cent they make on sales of the game is covering the cost of making the game itself... and advertising, I suppose. Telltale's got to cover cost for making the game, then discs, then printing, then shipping and on and on. If anything, I would think Back to the Future should cost more.

Starting sale is always the most expensive as big fans likes to buy it the first day it'll be more expensive for them, sonic fans with ennough money and willing to spend that money on sonic will buy the first day. Others will wait till it's discount, so if you want to get it cheap, wait till there's discount or don't buy it at all as nobody forces you. :)

Just seeing that title screen made me squeal a bit. I just got done playing Sonic 2 for the one hundredth time and I love it. Now the screen is identical to Sonic 2's. Just seeing that gives me high hopes. With any luck, their will be more than just four zones. Multiplayer will be cool too. I sure as hell hope that the Metal Sonic boss will be good too. With any luck, they did something like Sonic CD's boss for Metal. Now I'm left to ponder the final boss.
Sonic 4 logo even hints that Sonic wants to get tails out of the logo.

Wasn't his hand positioned the same way in Sonic 2?
I know I'm kind of bumping the topic here, but here's a few screenshots from the XBOX 360 version of the game:

I know Sonic 2 did it, but still...
There better be an option to use only Sonic. Great for the Special Stage if your going solo.

Smash, you just took the words right out of my mouth.
Iris, has it ever occurred to you that these could be the BETA screenshots? Even if those aren't beta screenshots, they could very well have been taken in a low resolution.
I mean, seriously. We haven't even seen any solid gameplay video yet, but you're complaining already. I just wish people like you would wait and see what happens, before jumping to conclusions. The game isn't supposed to launch within two months from now. That's plenty of time to tweak the faults in the game.

they might not be perfect, but in my opinion they look really good, especially since they just started working on the game
I don't think you guys quite understand. The jaggies and grainy textures are caused by a lack of good texture filtering and AA. Don't you guys see that this is becoming a standard in console games these days? Games these days are looking more and more horrible because they are missing some of these important features. And the horrible shading, jaggies, and textures are not the fault of it being "Beta". These are screenshots that are listed officially, not only that, but in game development, you don't create a scene half-assedly for "beta" purposes and then do it all over again to make it look better.

Well clearly they were taken at a low resolution, and who's stupid idea was that? It's giving the game a bad image already.
And yes, I am complaining already. You guys are sitting there and going "This is amazing!" and taking is at it comes. This ignorance is what causes terrible games to be made. I really, honestly don't care about seeing any gameplay, because when I do, it's probably going to be just as jagged and horrible. When a game looks like that, it takes away from the experience.
And these "Faults" that are going to be tweaked? Nobody would know about them unless people like me actually pointed them out, because all you guys are doing, is saying it's fine.

Cool story bro. I don't care about graphics, I care about quality. The art is good, the execution is horrible. The graphics engine has clearly made some headway, sure, but it needs some serious tweaking. And saying an engine needs tweaking, when already half of the game's assets are clearly present... pffthahaha... that's sad.
Your ignorance makes me laugh, guys.
Of course, I wouldn't expect any better from people around in a generation of poorly made 3D console games. But you still give me a good laugh.
it's almost frightening, I mean, they look like they're doing a really good job in making those assets too. But if their models and textures aren't going to look good, the question arises as to what's the point of making them? Let's hope they're going to actually notice it themselves and put in some AA or something at least. It really shouldn't look that bad. The average 3DS game looks better than that.
My ignorance perhaps is apparent, but it goes with reasoning. But you guys...
"Let's all wait for SEGA to release the game before we bash how shitty it looks and force them to patch it or something" is your usual course of action, right?
Dream on.
Do you guys even know WHY companies put out screenshots of their development, guys? It's to get criticism.

Not to mention the floor is practically see through because of aliasing...
Come on seriously... it's like we need more and more polygons in every game, and there's no room to actually make sure it's rendered properly. :L

I dunno about you, but generations and unleashed were gorgeous.
I said I like it and I stick to my opinion. The concepts are good but, like 196 pointed out, there are a few problems. Frankly, though, I don't care how good my games look since I can't see HD games to their fullest anyway. From that low quality screen-shot we're being shown, sure, it does look bad, but I happen to love the concept and I'm expecting it to look better when I see a higher quality version.

This as well. While that screenshot looks semi awful, If they were to leave it in that state and then release the game, that would be insane. I'm expecting a much better looking version, especially after they raised the bar so high with generations.
i cant tell shit from shit from shit from crap from whatever the fuck you guys are trying to explain. Even still i haven't seen any current sonic game with crappy graphics. i guess i just dont have an eye for quality. Or something.

I've told Kay before that I think the levels look beautiful, but upon inspection of the one 196 showed some things look..."off" to say the very least. I like the idea, but the picture makes it look like shit which is kind of sad because even through the crappy quality the other stages are beautiful.
Since someone is apparently bashing the EARLY SCREENSHOTS of a game that HAS YET TO BE RELEASED, let's take a quick look at some of the newer shots, which were taken in 720p & 1080p resolution. Shall we?

But then why show your project at it's worst to the public if you
didn't want it to be criticised?
What I'm saying is that I don't think these pictures do the game justice. That's why I'm waiting for a video to prove me wrong.
A picture means a thousand words. it's a snapshot of life- a look into the eyes of it's creator. And what I see is a lousy mess of pixels. So in my eyes, that's a LOT to judge.

All I see is a snapshot of a video game. I must not be able to see things as deeply as you do.
What I see here is a snapshot of a 3DS game. Messy pixels, flat images in some places, rough models, etc.
While I think that it would be fine during development, it is nowhere near okay for a game on a HD console.
But this is just development...
And why the hell are we debating the final graphics of a game in (early) development from some early screenshots?

This. This all the way.
I figured when they released a video it would be farther in development and easier to judge.

But then why show your project at it's worst to the public if you didn't want it to be criticised?
Quote from: Jazz Nova on February 21, 2012, 03:18:49 PM
What I see here is a snapshot of a 3DS game. Messy pixels, flat images in some places, rough models, etc.
While I think that it would be fine during development, it is nowhere near okay for a game on a HD console.
But this is just development...
And why the hell are we debating the final graphics of a game in (early) development from some early screenshots?
Final? Nope.
Okay. Okay. Now it's time for the moment of truth. Gamespot just released the FIRST EVER Gameplay Video of Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode II. Now, Iris. Here's your chance to give us a good rant about your views on the graphics. In my eyes, they look pretty good. Much better than Episode I's.

^ This.
I don't think Sonic is moving too slow, but I think he LOOKS like he's moving too slow. Maybe they could make his feet spin faster? I felt the same way about Episode 1. It didn't feel like you were moving that slow when you played it, but if you only looked at it, it seemed like Sonic wasn't moving as fast as he should.
It looks pretty. Maybe not up to the standards of Generations but that
was a special game, after all. Besides, they probably wanted to stick close to the first game's style.

Looks slow, huh? To me, it looks pretty dang speedy. But, that's your opinion.
As for the graphics, I must say - they aren't SPECTACULAR, but in my eyes, they're still pretty good, regardless.

to me it gets slow as soon it looks slower than Sonic Rivals and/or the original Sonic.
Maybe its just the walking animation that makes it seem so slow.

Well the game is still in early development, so I'm sure those animations will be tweaked for the final product.
Sonic and Tails doing 69 because...why?
Were Going To Be Seeing The Game Released As Early As may 16th If youdont belive me http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic_The_Hedgehog_4:_Episode_II (http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic_The_Hedgehog_4:_Episode_II)
I followed that link to its source. Metacritic lists it as "TBA 2012". I don't believe you. :P
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCYbmTL_fTM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCYbmTL_fTM)
Youtube link for faster viewing.
Basically I have come to the following conclusions or assumptions (this is what I think):
- The song used could be Metal Sonic's battle theme - I love it, catchy and a great pace
(hope they don't scratch it like they did with the song they first had in the Sonic Gen teaser)
- 20th Anniversary of Tails - Sonic 4:E2 has Tails - coincidence?!
(this leads me to believe that special stages will be Sonic 2'ish)
- Correct me (nicely) if I am wrong - the Tails/Sonic combo move being introduced here seems interesting (http://bit.ly/yzOT9v)
- SEGA is clearly stressing you NEED Tails in this one...
- Another $15 for another 3 varying stage-types
(if this goes into 5 episodes, that'll be more than a normal retail Sonic game but a bit longer than S3&K)
- Metal Sonic will most likely be the last fight in Episode 2 - and it won't be over after that...
(meaning the Carnival zone will most likely be the final zone)

That is most likely correct - my pink, balloon-shaped, amigo.
I have no problem with what I'm seeing so far in terms of gameplay. I can only expect SEGA to have some fluid animations, a good pace and some interesting set pieces..
BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GENSOKYO, IT STILL LOOKS LIKE A BLURRY MESS.
it's an improvement over EpI in terms of gameplay, but I think EpI's graphics were a lot sharper thanks to their 2D nature.

Why not both?
They should be used for both. There's not much point getting them if you're not a completionist, but if they hold some nice reward, then bam, you have a meatier game.

I don't like how they've been replacing Chaos Emeralds, though. It made sense in Colors and Generations, but what is EP 2's excuse?

(In Your Opinion)
In Colors, the red rings were used to unlock the Gameland stages and once you completed them all, you got Super Sonic.
That was an extremely nice reward, indeed.
In Generations, they were used to get upgraded skills. Also a very nice reward.
Seeing that they got you a reward in the last two games - then by all means, let them be used to obtain a reward.
100%= Hyper Sonic? -shot-
And we now have some actual (off-screen) footage of the game.
I must say, the Trailer didn't even show off the games true graphical qualities. Despite being shot off-screen, this game looks GORGEOUS!

We've already discussed this, several times. And each time I've deflected your comments about me apparently thinking "Only graphics matter". On the contrary, I am only complaining about the glaring visual flaws, not the art itself.

I keep saying it's as if all you care about are graphics, but yet you keep denying it. But all you're complaining about ARE the graphics, so what other conclusion can I come to, Iris?
I know Feedback = Improvement, but you nagging like some type of grumpy, immature old man, isn't going to make the entire game look better. Why don't you get off your high horse for a few months and wait until the blasted thing comes out? The game has JUST BEEN REVEALED. There is still TWO MORE MONTHS, before it's set to release.
I have a suggestion for you, Mr. Sapphire:
Why not you go and work for Sonic Team and become the leading Art Director, for all of the upcoming Sonic Games, huh? Why not you go ahead and develop your own game, with the best graphical effects that can be produced with the current technology. That way, everything can be just the way you like.
Things aren't always going to be the way you like it, Iris. It would be different if you were COMPLAINING AND COMPLAINING about this AFTER IT HAS BEEN RELEASED, but the thing is still in (and I keep stressing this)
E A R L Y D E V E L O P M E N T. You're expectations can be as big as Mount Everest - that's not going to magically make the entire game look as beautiful and gorgeous as your eyes want it to be. We don't always get what we want - that's just how life is. And complaining about it, repeatedly, isn't going to fix it either.
But if you are looking for something that looks absolutely beautiful beyond comparison, get up out of your chair and get outside and take a look around.
That's the best graphics in the entire world. Nothing can beat it. It's people like you who just don't even seem to play Games, anymore. Or at least, not for entertainment. If all you're going to do is nag, nag, nag, nag, and nag about the Art Direction, how can you enjoy the game for what it's truly for? Fun Entertainment. If you want to see dazzling special effects and textures, go and watch an IMAX 3D Movie.
I know this is seems to be the age where "EVERYTHING MUST LOOK AS REALISTIC AS POSSIBLE, OR IT'S COMPLETE CRAP" - but truly, that notion has to be one of the most stupidest things that I've ever known about.
Let me ask you this one, simple question.
There's this game, right? It's fun. It's amazing. The controls are spot on and fluid, and the gameplay is just marvelous. This seems to be the most epic game ever. There's only one problem - it's graphics just don't seem up-to-par.
Then there's this other game. It looks gorgeous. The textures are so releastic, it's as if you're looking right outside your window. It has the best graphical effects in the world. Here's the problem - the gameplay is so horrifying and boring, that playing with a rock is more entertaining.
Now, which would you choose?
A.) The game that is completely superb when it comes down to gameplay. It's a perfect example of how a game should be, except it's graphics just don't match-up to current standards.
B.) The game that is so beautiful, that the word " beautiful " is an under-statement. Everything about it - in terms of graphics - are perfect. But it's gameplay is just horrible, and will bore you in less than 5 minutes.
You can only pick one. If you had to make this decision, which would you go with? Gameplay or Graphics?

I could now count up a bazillion games with amazing graphics and amazing gameplay. :l

I'm not going to be leading art director just to add some AA to a game.
Seriously, this is you, writing that entire post and being SO defensive and butthurt. Over what, really? I'm giving the game my fucking opinion. I told you, it looks good on the gameplay side of things. Animations are smooth, the set pieces are nice. Etc. I've told you, graphics? I couldn't give a damn about the art direction, that's fine. But the think is, if it were actually oh I dunno.. RENDERED PROPERLY, then maybe it would look good.
And honestly? There is such thing as a beautiful game with great gameplay. There's games like that all over the PC and even on consoles. You can't have just one or the other. THIS IS A STANDARD IN GAMING. THIS IS WHERE THE BAR IS AT.
Now on the contrary sir, if you can really tell me to step outside and admire the "Best graphics in the world", I think you yourself need to spend more time outside and gather that Video games and reality and not to be compared.

I wasn't being defensive, nor was I being butthurt. I was trying to get my point across, seeing that you obviously are too proud and uptight, to stop complaining about the game's graphics.
I know you're giving your opinion. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, yes. But when they start to run on about the same blasted thing, over and over again, it just gets annoying.
I NEVER SAID that there weren't games with a perfect balance of both gameplay and graphics. I was making an ILLUSTRATION. I know that there are games with a perfect balance of graphics and gameplay, I own a few for crying out loud.
Let me clarify what I was saying, seeing that you completely ignored the point I was trying to make:
I said, that here are two games. One with amazing gameplay, but not-so-good graphics - and the other with amazing graphics, but not-so-good gameplay. You could only pick ONE, so which would you choose? Gameplay or Graphics?
I never said that there wasn't any game with a perfect balance between the two - I was trying to see if you would actually pick Graphics over Gameplay and you completely avoided the question.
The point that I was trying to make to you was; Just wait until the blasted thing comes out in two months. I admit, it can't be considered an early game anymore, but at least hold your horses for two more months. Nagging like an immature old man, about how the graphics aren't rendered properly - REPEATEDLY - is what fueled me enough to post that post. It seemed like I wasn't getting through that thick skull of your's, so I tried a different approach. But yet, you spear-head it, yet again.
I know VIDEO Games and REALITY can't be physically compared. But that's the point I was trying to make. If the Graphics of the game don't appeal to your HIGH-TASTE IN QUALITY eyes, then look outside your window and scan your surroundings, if you want to see something beautiful and " perfectly rendered ". You're knocking down a game that hasn't even gotten a chance to get up yet, and that's what was pissing me off.
I rest my case, Mr. Iris Sapphire.

Both you and Iris dodged the point I was trying to make. Shallow, very shallow.
I never said there wasn't a game with a perfect balance between graphics & gameplay. I was simply making an Illustration, to see whether you'd prefer Graphics over Gameplay. Next time, analyze the question, think about it, and then respond. Don't simply brush it off and throw it back to the person who asked the question, just to make it seem like they were talking random foolishness. Don't put words in other people's mouths. :|
" Obviously, there will still be tweaks based on input from the fans & other small changes. "
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B68htV-pAKI/TsMyRH1EcuI/AAAAAAAAAEU/g5wiuzbEnvM/s1600/double-facepalm.jpg)
Exactly. You just owned yourself with that sentence alone. This entire time you and Iris have been double-teaming with bashing the graphics of the game, yet you admit that there will be tweaks before the game's release, something I've been SAYING ALL THIS TIME.
Oi . . . Society is so backwards these days. . . .
So you're calling me thick? Okay.
let me put it this way. Your "Illustration" is IMPRACTICAL. It doesn't even need to be there, because it doesn't clarify your argument or help you. At all. If a company makes a game, BALANCE is the key. This is not my "HIGH-TASTE IN QUALITY" speaking, this is THE STANDARD OF MODERN VIDEO GAMES FOR FUCKING FUCK'S SAKE.
This is why I dodged your question, it would only serve to not convey my true opinions in any way and make you come up with more bullshit to bag me with.
"But when they start to run on about the same blasted thing, over and over again, it just gets annoying"
Touché, hypocrite.
"Exactly. You just owned yourself with that sentence alone. This entire time you and Iris have been double-teaming with bashing the graphics of the game, yet you admit that there will be tweaks before the game's release, something I've been SAYING ALL THIS TIME. "
Don't start getting at Kyo too, he's making a valid statement and clarification that you failed to. His argument?
"Obviously, there will still be tweaks based on input from the fans & other small changes."
Your argument?
"IT'S NOT FINISHED, LET THEM FINISH IT AND STOP COMPLAINING"
Kyo's answer is logical. We give the game it's needed input, I said the game needed some AA and to to sharpen it up a bit, rather than filling the game with triangles that honestly.. aren't needed. < -- This statement proves I DO NOT ONLY care about the game's art, as you think I do. This game more than enough meets the standart in it's polygon-count, honestly, and that is NOT the problem.
"you obviously are too proud and uptight, to stop complaining about the game's graphics."
Negative. I am concerned that the visuals will cause a great letdown in the potential game. AND I'm hoping that it will be fixed prior to release, even if it's in favour of some of the admittedly beautiful models.
If you think that I'M being bad about graphics, you should see.. the average consumer base! no, seriously.

I saw it, I just didn't think to comment. But I agree, I thought the partner system was pretty damn cool. There's a lot that can be done with that concept.
The problem here is that SEGA is so busy thinking of new concepts they never try to stop and improve old ones.

The partner system wasn't even that good. At least it wasn't mandatory because I never used it, but I can only imagine if they implemented it in Episode 2 you would be forced to stop running and use Tails to fly over every other wall and break momentum.

Weird, because Sonic 4 is nothing but old concepts. They think that everyone just wants classic gameplay so they're just making the same game we've already played a million times before. Nothing here is new. I mean fuck, Sonic 4 is actually missing key features that the old games had. Why weren't Tails and Knuckles in the first episode? Oh right, Sega wants to milk the series for all it's worth (which isn't much). Sonic 4 was always just a lazy way to get classic fans to just shut up.

ikr? I f*cking hate it when game devs do that.
They give you the core mechanic and a side funtion for alternate routes and hidden stuff, but making that side function mandatory is ANNOYING. Just like the Homing Attack in Sonic 4 >.>
Look and Classic Sonic in Sonic Generations on consoles, all his stages can be played in full with his CORE mechanics which are running and jumping, and you equip homing to make some parts easier, get to alternate routes and w/e.
Then look at classic Sonic in the 3DS ver., every stage after the Big Arms boss, homing attack is mandatory to beat the stage =/
If the partner system DOES return, plz don't make it a necessity to complete a stage, it's annoying and they're normally terribly implemented
If they do end up using the partner system gimmick like how they did in Sonic Advance 3, then it should be optional. Like how the Wisps were in Colors. You didn't necessarily HAVE to use them to complete a stage - even though using them would increase your score and help you break your time. Not to mention they were fun.
As long as they don't shove it down our throats like how they did it with the Werehog. He wasn't that bad, but still. x_x
OPTIONAL, Sonic Team. Make. It. O P T I O N A L.
They should make running and jumping optional too.

SEGA has commented on the question why there is no Wii Version.
It appears Nintendo has set a Data-limit for WiiWare Games - and Episode 2 is simply way bigger than that.
The only way there would have been a Wii Version is to either release it on Disc or cut out content like the Cutscenes and that would hurt the experience players would get.

Makes sense. I'd love a fluent game on disc like Sonic and Knuckles was. They could just pull that off for the Wii U.

The Wii haters are gonna love this
got the whole story for ep2 A few months after the events of Episode I, Little Planet, where Sonic CD took place approaches once more. Doctor Eggman, who was defeated in the previous installment, knew that was only the beginning of his big scheme that he had been planning in secrecy. Dr. Eggman planned the entire plan from the very beginning of Episode I.
Hearing that Little Planet has finally returned, Eggman eagerly hops back into action, the next phase of his scheme will begin to unfold. Elsewhere, Sonic's old robot rival Metal Sonic has survived his defeat back in CD, though was left on Little Planet when it disappeared before. Eggman finds the Metal 'hog and has made him even more powerful than before, to make Sonic no match for him.
Meanwhile, Sonic has found out about the Doctor and his metal rival being back, so he recruits his buddy Tails to help him face this new threat and speed around the Little Planet once more and save it from disaster.
What was Dr. Eggman searching for in the Lost Labyrinth? What was Mad Gear built for? They were all a mere puzzle piece of a grandiose project schemed by Dr. Eggman. When Little Planet reappears, Dr. Eggman's whole scheme will be revealed! Will Sonic and Tails stop Dr. Eggman and Metal Sonic's plan once and for all?

And... well... bad news guys. It doesnt look like Combined Powers are optional :\
I love that new stage, it looks a bit like planet wisp meets some alien desert landscape.
And the music is so much better than EP1, at least in terms of instruments. Hopefully the music in game won't use those awful synths that tried to recreate genesis sounds.
I'm officially looking forward to EP2, nothing really interested me until that desert level, I'd shell out some some money just to play there.
Why is no one talking about Episode Metal!? It looks sweet!

Pretty fucked up if I say so myself.
I tried the BETA, and I gotta say, it turned out alot better than I thought.
Although this is by far the worst Sonic soundtrack I've heard in my recent memory, the whole tag action thing doesn't break the flow as much as I thought it would...
However, the flying is nerfed(with respect to Tails flying by himself in previous Sonic games), and is only playable as a Sonic&Tails combo. They could've at least given us the option to play as Tails on point with Sonic as the sidekick Sonic Advance 3 style =/
Future episodes
On March 14, 2012, Iizuka confirmed in an interview that as of the moment there are no future episodes currently in development for Sonic 4. He says that Sega just want to see how the users accept this episode." However, during the PAX East 2012, Cheat Code Central spoke with Sega representatives who informed that Episode II does not end the Sonic 4 story, saying if the episode does well in sales, an Episode III will likely be developed, as well as an Episode IV if that does well in turn. The representatives also mentioned a possible Sonic the Hedgehog 5 could be developed after Episode IV.
