  • The latest episode of the Sonic 4 saga is here! With the return of a trusted sidekick and an evil doppelganger, does Episode 2 contain all of the necessary ingredients to make a game worthy enough to be a sequel to Sonic The Hedgehog 3? Let's hope so.

    Lets see:
    Sonic Mania-
    -Lead by Christian Whitehead
    -Using updated classic engine
    -Same Physics as classic games
    -HD 2D sprites
    -Elemental Shields
    -3 separate playable characters
    - Upbeat, non limited soundtrack
    -Not a numbered title
    -Mini bosses in each Act
    -Possible Blue sphere mini-game
    -Unique and creative levels.
    Yep, John literately got everything he, and every classic Sonic fan wanted. Huzzah!!

      I just wish it was an original game rather than focusing on rehashing older zone... that and Amy Rose was playable.
      I also wish the game wasn't trying to be the Saturn Sonic game that never was, but I suppose graphics mean dick-all long as the game's fun to play so hopefully it will be.
      Hopefully if the game's a smash hit, it'll either get a sequel or some real DLC, character packs would be well worth the money.

      Actually, they've said that around half the game will be brand new zones, so it's not entirely just remaking the old stuff.

      @JCOdrjones Před 7 lety +21

      A) Levels are remixed extensively
      B) There are new levels
      C) The possibilities of the shields and classic gameplay of the main trio are still not fully realized
      D) The graphics are amazing, I have no idea why you complain about them. Are you some kid born in the late 1990s/early 2000s who thinks 2D is inferior to 3D, even to Mania looks more timeless than any Sonic game in the 3D era, save for Colors and above?

      No, I was born in 1984, I'm just sick and tired of the nostalgia retro crap you see in a lot of 2D video games. Mega Man 9/10, Shovel Knight, VVVVVV, Undertale... It just looks lazy and it's really overdone.
      Like at least Skullgirls and Cuphead are trying traditional animation. Like, that's what I've been hyped to see forever now, a video game with fluid animation that pushes the limit... instead we just got 3D animation...
      Which I guess is fine, but I just would like to see a traditionally animated game with effort.
      At least there's Sonic 2 HD... and I guess Rayman, that's a sweet lookin' game.
      Though yeah, personal preference and just sick of seeing graphics trying to take you back to the '80s-'90s. Like if I wanted to see old-school graphics I'd just play the old games.
      SEGA's a big company, they could put some effort into presentation.
      Aunno the game could be fun, but I'm not expecting something as great as Sonic 3 or 2... or Advance... Maybe something as good as Sonic 42 or Sonic CD or something.

      Deuce Moncura The millions of people who watch IGN’s reviews do. They’re one of the most important outlets in the industry.
      As for scoring, you misunderstand. The scores are meant to be a shorthand for summarizing how a reviewer feels about a game. They’re not and never were meant to be everything. You were always supposed to read the rest of the review first. And that’s all your faults.
      Also, IGN’s Dan Stapleton has openly said that even if IGN stopped having scores, people would just go somewhere else to get them.

      That goes to show what happens when you focus too much on your past accomplishments instead of making new ones. So many other and possibly better games could've been made by Sega if they weren't desperate to reclaim their former Sonic glory. if Sega ever wants to be a competent again, they need originality...or at least start looking forward so they don't keep crashing.

    • @mattedg8095
      @mattedg8095 Před 6 lety +3

      If Dimps had used something from the ground up or actually dug up the Advance engine instead of an early form of the Colours DS engine and had incorperated level design combining Sonic 3's and Advance's (minus the overabundance of bottomless pits, basically the start of the game's level design), it would have been much better.

      I want them to port all three as an actual cartridge game for 3DS, but change the physics so that it works better and so that the games feel more streamlined and maybe add Tails to ep. 1. (Again, for streamlining. They don't even have to give you the option to select a separate episode, just put all 10 levels in 1. And maybe expand Metal Sonic's mode, giving him unique physics, allowing him to access all 10 levels, and make it harder than the original levels to offer challenge to those like Johnny, who obvs was left a bit unsatisfied with the difficulty here)

    This game was kinda fun for me actually. With all the negative things I've heard about it, I thought it wouldn't be that fun (a similar scenario took place with Unleashed). But if you look past the originality, it actually is actually almost as good as the classics. In fact imo, there are a few things things this does _better_ than the classic games, like the co-op as Johnny mentioned.
    I do wish it was longer, and maybe give a little extra for 100%ing it.

    Sonic 4 as a whole was very disappointing. The level design in my opinion wasn't enjoyable, because it feels like every level plays itself, and THE CONSTANT BUBBLES CHAINS! They could've done so much more with the story, ending on a very small and empty note, not to mention that they did nothing with the Ancient purple energy they added. Episode Metal is the most rehash I've ever seen in any video game. Oi, looking back, Shattered Crystal is more exciting than this.

    • @AHYL88

      +Douglas The Hedgehog Agreed, and both Sonic 4 episodes are already aging poorly for their terrible level designs; a lot of boring automation and very annoying split-second reaction times that Dimps keeps shoving into their games since the Sonic Advance games just made it not fun. Dimps just doesn't learn from their mistakes to stop forcing us to memorise the levels.

    If Sega wants to release a proper successor to the genesis titles, than the first thing they should do is call it anything other than Sonic 4 or 5 or whatever. No direct sequels, make somethign in the spirit of those classics, with similar gameplay and level design. Something similar should be done for the Adventure series if it ever gets brought back.

    I find Sonic 4's soundtrack in general to be a bit… off? They try to make it sound "Genesis" but add too much of the "twang" that the classic Sonic games lacked, especially in Episode II. They should've tried to limit the music to what an actual Genesis can handle, and them throw the same style of remixing they used for the Classic stages in the HD version of _Sonic Generations_ into it.
    And also, I definitely would rather see a _Sonic the Hedgehog 5_ rather than a _Sonic 4: Episode III_. Better yet, why not a 2-D series that isn't a direct continuation of where Sonic 4 or the classic games left off? _Sonic Advance_ has a following, you know!

    • @adamwilliams1348

    • @GamerGuyd7Aces
      @GamerGuyd7Aces Před 9 lety

      ***** Yeah, which makes NO sense to me -_- .. Sonic CD really doesn't even belong in the classic Hedgehog canon. It's just Sonic 1,2, and 3&K. It's assumed that CD happened in between 1 and 2 though. But then Dr. Robotnik downgrading from Metal Sonic to Silver Sonic (Sonic 2) and Mecha Sonic (Sonic 3&K) is weird

    • @GamerGuyd7Aces
      @GamerGuyd7Aces Před 9 lety

    You know, it occurs to me that the special stages might have a reason for being repetitive.

Maybe Blue Sphere will be back if Episode 3 is ever made?
