New 2D HD Sonic Coming in 2010 - SONIC 4!

[GSZX1337]

I'd really like to buy this game on physical media. Does anybody think Sega will release Sonic 4 on a disc once all the episodes are released?

I don't think that'll happen judging from past events.

You never know, REZ HD had a physical release!

That was exception. I hope it happens, though.

Same here, I'm a Sega whore when it comes to good titles and will gladly re-buy it if the game gets a physical pressing.

I guess you're more of a whore than I. ...Moving on.
I wouldn't rebuy the games if they came on a pressed disc. I just don't like to buy things twice. If I downloaded the games and later bought a disc compilation, the downloaded games would just sit there, laughing at me. Taunting me, saying "You bought us twice. Lameass." Where's those pills?

Just to clarify, this game is being developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega

I would be really excited (the short gamplay demo looked nice), but the fact that they are focusing on the story scares me.

Makes me think of how decent the NiGHTS game on the Wii would be if they scrapped all the cheesy cutscenes out of it. Ugh....

Just focus on the game, folks.

It scares me as well :[ so does the decision to use 3D character models instead of sprites. I hate being negative about such trivial things but I find it hard not to be negative about Sonic Team these days... perhaps the scariest thing is that it's taken them 16 years to realise that this game is a good idea. I swear they're slightly insane

Anyway it's finally happening so I'm trying not to be too negative :] I am very excited to be fair

(turns out sonic team aren't developing it after all)

Meh, the new trailer sucked, bad.

Dimps is great and all for when they did the Sonic Advance and Rush series, but using the development and graphical shortcuts for a handheld on a console game meant for large HD screens doesn't work and looks like complete crap.

Seriously, someone look at that new leaked footage on destructoid or Kotaku and tell me that Sonic and the whole game don't look like a slow mess. Sonic's animations are sluggish and jittery, the jump animation is a waste and the game has no color. Not to mention the music is a horrible amalgamation of quasi-Genesis Z80 and generic 360 menu music.

Unless they fix this and I see a worthy product by the time it comes out then I'm not buying it, I've had enough shit from Sega over the years and this is the absolute last straw for the company if they fuck it up.

I'm saddened to have *any* complaints about this game when we've seen so little, but it's hard not to. A lot of people seem to think Sonic fans are too picky, but quite honestly I think we're just weary after being burned so many times.

I still think this game will be good, though.

I'm still hoping for the best.

Hope. Hope. Hope.

I just played through Sonic Advance today and I thought that it was pretty good. Anyone who can't wait to see if Sonic 4 is any good should give that game a shot.

I played Sonic Advance when it first came out. It was pretty fun. Sonic Advance 2, IMO was the best out of the three.
