Title: First Playthrough Released!
Post by: Super Sonic Boom on April 29, 2012, 07:51:27 AM
Beleive it or not, people have already recieved or obtained Sonic 4 Episode 2 to play. I don't know if it is a pre-version that people have pirated but watch for yourself. This person already has a few parts of his gameplay up.

His opinions on the controls for the game - "Much better honestly. It's nice and tight, even in this video you can see I have problems since I go straight from Ep1 to Ep2. Generation controls feel like colors? which was slower but nice. This seems like a mix of sonic rush in the air and sonic ep1 on the ground. An improvement IMO, tails seems mad broken though. He shouldn't be able to fly so easily."

Is this the final version? What do you think about the game? Should DLC or additional levels be considered?

I know that steam released the game early by accident.. not sure if it's final though.  But god it looks so fucking clunky.
And the music makes my ears bleed.

Other than they're still going for the whole retro vibe, and that you can't play as Tails in the singleplayer, and a few sketchy level designs, this game is definately much better than Episode 1, but still miles behind Sonic3&Knuckles...

When I look at the Steam page it currently says 2 weeks until release, I don't know how people are getting it - well, piracy duh.

But i hope they'll add Sonic-Only & Tails-Only Options for the final build.
This is impossible for 2 reasons
1).Those homing attack chains would make it really annoying to play as Tails
2).There a a bunch of mandatory tag action segments in the game

If anything, we can hope for the option to play as Tails on point with Sonic as the sidekick.

They changed the level layouts for Super Sonic in Colors. Whose the same that they couldn't do that for single Sonic and single Tails?

Yeah. You couldn't use the wisps as SS so the stage designs were switched to fix areas where they had to be used.

Wait, so does the stage change after you go Super Sonic? or do all the stages change once you unlock Super Sonic?

You turn SS on and off in the options menu.

If SS in on the stages change to accommodate him and the wisps are removed.

If SS is off, the stages stay the same.
