Day one purchase for me (one of the few games I don't need a trial for.)

Also the hate this game gets annoys me. People essentially decided after watching the debut trailer that even though it looked great it had to suck so they started acting really weird about it.

Except it didn't look great, it looked like just another boring platformer.

I dunno, I just feel like if this were a Mario game people would be more forgiving of things like beta test videos that obviously weren't going to be in the final game but because it's Sonic they'll just pretend it is anyway...

Because Nintendo has yet to make a bad Mario platformer.

All I see in this thread is a bunch of insane sonic fans who don't even know what they want. Aside from mandatory homing attacks and the physics shit sonic 4 will be Awsome.

So basically, if you ignore the fact that Sonic 4 will play like shit, then Sonic 4 will be awesome!

I wanna say Mario Sunshine, but people will jump on me for that.

I wanna say Mario Sunshine, but people will jump on me for that.

Even as one of their weaker Mario games it was still the best platformer of that generation.

Granted the competition basically consisted of Jak and Daxter, Prince of Persia, and a bunch of forgettable nonsense, but the fact remains.

 

[Anth0ny]

I downloaded the soundtracks for 1 through &K last night out of nostalgia's sake, and I still think that 3 has the best soundtrack. Nothing else comes close to Ice Cap, Hydrocity, or Launch Base. (Although Chemical Plant comes close)

Sonic 3 soundtrack>all

it's alright, it's still the only mainline mario game I have never finished or had the desire to.

 

[Aaron Strife]

The shift to a hip-hop new jack swing sound for 3 was a great shift for the series and totally fitted it. It's also no surprise that the MJ stuff is the best in the game, though Hydrocity Zone (particularly Act 2) is beyond brilliant. And Kuckles has flying Battery which is godly. I also liked the addition of having different tracks for each act as it provided some extra variety.

I wouldn't say 3 is a clear winner. Given 2 has stuff like Metropolis, Chemical Plant, Aquatic Ruin, Emerald Hill, Mystic Cave, etc. But I rate them both very highly as game soundtracks.

Sonic 1 is all class too, but it doesn't quite match the compositions of its younger brothers. It does have Starlight Zone though.

As for 4, from what I've heard I'd say the compositions themselves are pretty good, but god some of those synths are too retro for their own good. They actually manage to sound more dated than the Genesis games. Melodically though they're pretty solid.

sonic & knuckles wins for having lava reef 1

You mean like every Mario game out there?

Because Nintendo has yet to make a bad Mario platformer.

I don't know about you but every Mario game tend to be generic platformers that does nothing new. Although I did like NSMB Wii.

So basically, if you ignore the fact that Sonic 4 will play like shit, then Sonic 4 will be awesome!

Your post scream "Hey let me jump on the Sonic hate bandwagon.

This is the first Sonic game since Sonic Adventures 2 that has gotten me interested in Sonic again. I'm not here to defend Sonic but the amount of hate in these Sonic 4 topic is quite hilarious.

Except SMB. 1, which did a lot of stuff new.

What is this I don't even.

Have I fallen into some parallel universe where SMB3, SMW, Yoshi's Island, Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy don't exist?

 

[Peff]

Launch trailer for the iPhone version.

Who the heck thought rotating the entire screen every time there's a loop was a good idea :lol ?

yawn, try harder

This is boring, much like Sonic 4.

Your post scream "Hey let me jump on the Sonic hate bandwagon.

How do I just now jump on something I've been on for months now?

This is the first Sonic game since Sonic Adventures 2 that has gotten me interested in Sonic again.

Well that explains a lot.

I'm not here to defend Sonic but the amount of hate in these Sonic 4 topic is quite hilarious.

Maybe hilarious, but also justified!

Funny that in all the things in the trailer, the mine cart wasn't one of them. :lol

Come to think of it, nothing from Lost Labyrinth appeared in the trailer.

Typical answer from someone who can't argue properly.

Explain to me how it's justified. This will be entertaining .

 

[MNC]

The music sounds awfully forgettable Only the chemical plant one sounded neat.

 

[jman2050]

:lol :lol

I don't feel like regurgitating six months worth of arguments again merely for your sake, but if you insist, I guess I'll have no choice.

 

[Phoenix Fang]

I agree. The music is horrible.

I don't feel like regurgitating six months worth of arguments again merely for your sake, but if you insist, I guess I'll have no choice.

Of course you don't.

I'm still waiting for you to explain how Mario games are generic and do nothing new.

Even if the game turns out to be an epic disappointment, at least we know this thread won't.

What was the reasoning with the loops? jesus

 

[Varjet]

Like what?

This is quite hilarious and sad at the same time.

 

[Branduil]

:lol The loops. I don't understand how people who make design decisions like that get jobs.

 

[Azure Dream]

What was the reasoning with the loops? jesus

One of the primary control methods is tilt controls. You don't actually rotate the phone along with the loop, you just keep it tilted, and you stay with Sonic's viewpoint while he runs around it, so tilting left and right still sort of make sense.

 

[Mr. E. Yis]

That iphone trailer's loop rotating is very annoying. Hopefully there's some way to turn it off.

In terms of sales, I think that the iphone/ipad version will sell a whole lot. And the console versions will sell decently enough for them to continue episode 2. But Episode 2 will not sell well at all on consoles if they just include 4 more worlds if they do the same $15 price. Then there will be no more 2d sonics.

 

[andymcc]

In terms of sales, I think that the iphone/ipad version will sell a whole lot.

there's an ipad version coming out too?

 

[Diablohead]

If the iPhone version right now doesn't support iphone 4 or ipad sega are dumb, they had plenty of time to add it in.

Your post scream "Hey let me jump on the Sonic hate bandwagon.

And your posts scream "Hey I just slammed my head into a brick wall a dozen times, let me contribute to the Sonic 4 thread now".

Why are these Sonic threads so active if there is such a backlash against this game?

 

[Diablohead]

look at 'dat american sonic :lol so glad he wasn't used much in the UK, pal sonic 1 box art for life!

 

[Jazzy Network]

Didn't you hear? It's cool to hate on Sonic.

 

[Drinky Crow]

i will give the sonic series credit for providing the best known litmus test for determining if a coworker is an aspertard: i say something like "man, i heard you like video games? only game i ever played was sonic the porcupine 2 or whatever and it was mad gay" and if they coat me with a fine patina of apoplectic spittle, MANCHILD CONFIRMED

 

[EmCeeGramr]

That video of RubyEclipse playing is just sad. They kept cheering and going "WOAH" every time he pressed a button to do fucking homing attacks.

 

[Anth0ny]

Didn't you hear? It's correct to hate on new Sonic.

Fixed for accuracy

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Why are these Sonic threads so active if there is such a backlash against this game?

Because Sonic fans don't know when to walk away. It's pretty much the definition of a Sonic fan.

I'm in for XBLA.

Did they price the iPhone version yet? Will buy for 99c iPhone, $5 PSN.

1/10 but just in case...

OK I know you have to respect people's opinion and stuff. But this... this is just factually incorrect. There's no two ways about it. This isn't the kind of statement that comes down to difference of opinion. You are objectively, factually, just plain-out wrong.

A bit off topic, but I've always wondered why Sonic CD has yet to be released on any of the digital download services for consoles/computers. Does anyone know?

 

[Sir Ilpalazzo]

I know that Sega claimed it didn't get into Sonic Mega Collection because of emulation issues. Is it possible that that's the reason?

Of course, it was on Sonic Gems Collection, so maybe not.
