I played Sonic 4 again after getting into Generations and honestly, I thought the physics were fucking atrocious. After Generations, Sonic 4 became unplayable to me. It's just an incredibly clunky mess.

I can't imagine they'd change too much in Episode 2, unfortunately. I'd imagine them wanting a bit of continuity, but I'll buy it like I did the first.

It took me a bit to un-train myself from hitting jump again just before I hit the ground for the momentum boost that 4 drilled into me.

Okay so why does the description of Sonic CD on the PSN make such a big deal out of the fact that this is the game that introduced the world to Metal Sonic AND Amy Rose?

Metal Sonic I get, but Amy?

sry bb but u iz a bad character why am I supposed to care?

But oh I see Tails is in this now. I like. :)

Amy Rose also helped give the world Sonichu and Rosechu.

No one should be thankful for that.

I heard he's going to jail, so I don't think it matters anymore :monster:

Also I used to know the guy who programed that (the widescreen and the Tails part). He was a hacker in the Sonic community named Taxman. Who would have thought that hacking games would actually lead to Sega actually HIRING someone?... I wish I had been a hacker :(

You're just mad that you didn't realize/forgot that Amy was older than Knuckles earlier in the thread :P

Pretty cool, and they clearly spent some time with it, although the bells don't sound all that great.

Now when someone mods in Ice Cap Zone from scratch, I'll be impressed :monster:

I really didn't think the physics were that bad in Episode 1. :(

Now I'm going to have to train myself all over again...

They were not nearly as horrendous as people make them out to be, but yes it will be nice to have bettersome momentum.

I didn't have any problems with the graphics engine though, I thought it was rather pretty. Oh well, as long as his legs still go in a circle dammit, Episode 1 still has that over Generations. (Though I admit Generations had a pretty decent compromise.)

EDIT: Question...but it's about Sonic fans so there's probably no answer. After Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations, you know, the best Sonic games to come out since...what 1999? And Sonic 4 as well, I suddenly see all this bitching about being "sick of playing as just Sonic, bring in other characters!" ...

Is that not what we've been begging Sega to STOP doing for 10 years? Now after 3 good games starring only sonic - which I don't see as a coincidence - you're asking for more bullshit characters again? What the hell Sonic fans, what the hell.

I'm not complaining about the Tails announcement, by the way, that's fine. As I've said before I don't mind any character that plays essentially the same as Sonic, but playing with other 'skins', basically, is never what I'd consider one of the pillars of Sonic.

wat the hell indeed

I don't play Sonic games because I somehow for some reason like the cast of Sonic X or something... :closedmonster:

I play Sonic because I like Sonic. Except when I was a kid I would play Sonic 3 as Tails because playing as Tails was, essentially, cheating, since I could fly past all the hard parts and swim through water and not drown and could more easily avoid enemies. But that's not exactly the mark of great gameplay. :monster:

Most of the newer Sonic characters are awful. Cream, Big, Shadow... they're all scratch your nails on the chalkboard material. xD

They should stay in Sonic X and never leave. Same with Amy Rose, she used to be just a innocent girl with a ''small'' crush on Sonic, but these days she's a crazy, obnoxious psychopath that chases down poor Sonic like some kind of obsessive stalker.

No... just stay in Sonic X. Tails, Knuckles... okay, the rest... no. gtfo.

I don't have a problem with extra characters, just not THOSE extra characters. Look at the Mario universe. They pull of having tons of characters no problem. Would be good if Sonic's universe could do the same thing.

I actually think that commercial is kind of cute. Kind of. :P

@Luka: I don't think EVERY Sonic character is awful. And Shadow was in the games first, wasn't he?

Cream is kind of cute, given that she's supposedly a little kid. That...lets me give her an excuse. :P

And you're right about Amy, though. She wouldn't be so bad if her "crush" were toned down just a smidge. Or at the very last maybe if Sonic actually liked her. :P

Oh sorry. I didn't mean to say that every Sonic character is awful, just a few of the extra's are really obnoxious sometimes, like Big the cat xD

No a few of them are really good and well developed characters like Tails and Knuckles <3 Yeah Shadow was in the Adventure series.

Yeah, she didn't used to be that bad. In the earlier games/ Sonic media she just admired Sonic just like a normal young girl that has a crush, but these days she's super- psycho over him xD

The advert was cute <3 Sonic's happy pose was super adorable <3

Random, but this song is just so awesome.



Seriously, if that song doesn't improve your mood, there's something wrong with you. Doesn't hurt that the level that goes with it is an absolute blast to play.
