Ok here are my thoughts on Sonic 4. I never bought it because I just was not that interested in it. I tried the demo and I really did not mind the physics, it did not bother me. What bothered me is EVERYTHING I've seen from the game was exactly the same as before just packaged in a different wrapper. That said, what do you expect in Episode II? I personally think Tails and Knuckles will be playable and that the physics will be changed. I think it'll be a very different game in gameplay and style. Sadly I doubt Episode I will be updated making it seem very outdated when the second episode comes out. On a side note, anyone think Sonic 4 should have used the Generations engine? I know they did it in the style they did to appease nostalgia fans but I think the Hedgehog engine is simply much better. |

I bought it, it could be better. I feel Sega would tell dimps to do everything they can to take what they learned in Generations for the consoles in terms of physics. As for Tails I am sure they made mention that he is playable (Some obscure blog post on their sight made reference to an even more obscure essay). But the thing is that I wonder how different Episode 2 will be, now that Generations is out and now that Sega has a better understanding of what the gameplay should be. As for the Hedgehog Engine, that would be crazy, in a good way mind you, But I don't see how Sega would go out of the way to convert the game's art style and what not to be like the bigger games that have used it. Then again, We haven't heard of Episode 2 in a year or two, so maybe the game has been shifted into over drive with an entire revamp on things...I hope.

HARD WORK AND GUTS.

I am hoping they revamp it to mix the aspects of Classic and Modern Sonic's physics engines from Generations. If they're going to make Sonic 4 a serious addition to the Sonic series, they'll have to use what's done well and make additions and tweaks to it. Adding the other original characters, like Tails and Knuckles, would be a good addition... could add the other characters as optional unlockables too. Once the whole Sonic 4 series is done, I'm sure they'll make a big collection out of it and update the previous episodes to match the latest iterations. |

But do you think Sega will actually put the effort into revamping Episode I to make it more like E2? They never even bothered with updating Sonic 06 which they COULD have done. Plus they have different teams all the time working on different projects it seems so it would make no sense from a business stand point to put work into a game that won't make them as much money. |

I honestly really do hope they keep the physics including the homing attack in Ep. II. Like everyone wants, make it for sure longer with original enemies and whatnot. I'm also hoping to see other shields like the ones brought into Sonic 3/Generations. The graphics were neat so leave them be. That's all I want. |

Do you even know what a physics engine is. Well, really, the only problem with the physics was the complete absence of momentum. Sonic should NOT stop on a dime as soon as you let go of the D-pad, no matter what sort of BS argument you can pull out of your asses. Like Metallix, I didn't even bother buying the full version. Unlike him, I DID mind the physics, but that wasn't the actual reason I didn't buy it. You wanna know the real reason? It's fifteen dollars on PSN. That's more than I paid for SA1. You expect me to pay more for a physic-less, tone deaf rehash of Sonic 1 than a game that, while it was a port, was actually at least decent? I would've bought it if the demo was good, but it wasn't. You what my reaction was to playing the PS3 Sonic Unleashed demo at my friend's house? "DUDE OMG I NEED TO GET A PS3 AND GET THIS GAME LIKE NOW." Sonic 4's demo did not give me that reaction. And after what I've seen from let's play videos, my opinion of the game has dropped further. I'll see what happens when the demo for Episode II comes out, but chances are unless it's completely different from Episode One I won't be buying that either. |

i just wwant to be beautiful for this one month

I doubt Episode 1 will get a revamp. Unless they release everything together one day, which will probably happen at one point, years down the road, if enough people keep buying the game. |

i'm actually really sorry bout this unfashionably late as alwways          I... Am... THE WEREHOG SUPPORTER! MUHAHAHAHA! *Howl* | |

Who doesn't know what a physics engine is? Anyway, this is what really impressed me was by this feel. |

What is the difference between a duck?

I honestly think there won't be an Episode II.. partially because we haven't heard of it in awhile, partially because Episode I was not recieved well.. and partially because we've already just had Generations released which pretty much already does what Sonic 4 set out to do. They may continue it in spirit with map packs to Generations.. but we probably will never see Episode II unless they're going to start creating whole new environments, instead of retreading everything again. |

But yeah, I think there's a possibility of Episode II never seeing the light of day as well. It was a cool idea and all, but the execution of Episode I was so poorly done that Sega probably decided they just shouldn't bother. |

Sonic 4 was the worst game experience i've ever had. After so many years of waiting and even delaying the release of it, they still screwed it up. It definitely should have been made the same wway as 2D Sonic in Generations, that was pretty flawless gameplay. |

Generations Classic Sonic still had pretty clunky gameplay, but I was able to get used to it. They just need to touch up on the controls a bit more and it'll be fine. |

You sir, are a troll. And if you honestly think Sonic 4 had good physics, go back and play Sonic 1, 2, 3, S&K, and S3&K. And CD. Sonic 4 claims direct lineage to these titles so deserves to be directly compared, and it's shit. Because of the physics. Go troll away elsewhere, and take your "excellent" b.s. with you.

Now now MoD, no need to go crazy over one opinion.. be it what someone really believes or not.. I honestly didn't HATE Sonic 4.. but I didn't like it much either. Generations made me much happier as far as classic gameplay went. |

I object to your claims
|
Personally, I wouldn't care too much if they kept the physics engine, since I didn't have any major issues with it. My biggest issue was that the game was kinda...boring.=/ I mean, the games from the Classic Era made you want to play them over and over again. Sonic 4 just did not have that same magic. |
