Reasons Not to buy Sonic the Hedgehog 4

[kool kitty89]

Word is that Sonic 4 has AMAZING music, if nothing else.

Umm, the other thread already posted all the level music and most of it seems average to mediocre, some is decent and a few might be considered good. The remix someone posted done with real genesis hardware actually sounds a lot livelier. (not just because it sounds classic, but it's got more feel and depth to it)

Oh I think we all know that.

That and we all know this thread should be merged with the other one.


I played NSMB recently with three friends...very fun.
All three of them have seen the mine cart video, like Sonic more than Mario, and not one is going to buy Sonic 4.

But one thing: multiplayer/coop is a big part of NSMBWii and indeed was a novel feature with Tails in Sonic 2/3/K (though more rudimentary) or Donkey Kong Country (actual platformers, not beat-em ups are rather uncommon with co-op).
However, Sonic 4 seems to be completely avoiding this going with a simple 1p game...

fuckin' magnets how do they work?

Yeah... Mario hasn't changed a bit!

haha Bit, his bits did change from 8bit to 64bit Yo and beyond


Seriously though I will buy this game to have because its SEGA and they need to see what will sell when they do something right..even know its not to everyone standards

[pinhead]

Im in a wait and see mode with this game, Im not really digging the animation.

When I was checking out random YouTube vids on Sonic 4, there were so many angry vids that were criticizing the Sonic fans who are nitpicking Sonic 4 right now... It's really appalling that it takes on such a personal tone, and the nitpickers get called stupid, etc. I happen to be one of the nitpickers; I like the look of classic Sonic, and I dislike his modern look. So what. It's not like I'm angry at the fans who DO like his modern look, or his modern games or whatever. Sonic fans really should not be personally attacking each other, based on their game preferences!

So in a way, its the "Elvis stamp" debate...

..with less rhinestones

...and more internet whiners.

But they never went beyond 64 bit, technically. In fact, no console has. (in terms of CPU, which is what the bitness *standard* was based on -for bus size and GPUs, yes it's been 128 bits for a while, and 256 bits in some cases) The Wii, like the Game Cube, of course uses a G3 series PPC CPU, a 32-bit processor. (G4 started the 64-bit series -and of course the PS3 and 360 both have 64-bit PPC based CPU cores)

Seriously though I will buy this game to have because its SEGA and they need to see what will sell when they do something right..even know its not to everyone standards

But it's not being done by them, is it, but by Dimps. (which might be a good thing since they handled Sonic Advance and Rush)

Though, to the point Pimpuigi has been making on Unleashed, Sonic Team (or the incarnation of sonic team at the time) did develop Unleashed at least. (though the director, Yoshihisa Hashimoto, has since left) Not that there's much of any old Sonic Team members still involved with the projects. (or even at Sega in many cases)

This is Sonic


IDK WTF this contraption is

[Joe Redifer]

It's EXTR333333ME Sonic. He's in yo face and badder than a mad hatter. He don take no shiz and he always fights for justice. He smokes the dopest doobiez and the most rad crack u can find. He's got more 'tude than any other dude.

[Puffy2k316]

they look the same to me

both blue and stole yoshis sneakers

[Rusty Venture]

I believe the 2nd one made out with a girl rejected from a Final Fantasy game.

[Joe Redifer]

Yoshi has simple red or brown shoes. No stripe.

[doomguy]

I really dont know why everyone hates the new sonic design, lets face it he got older found his fatter body couldnt keep up the pace and his eyes were going in the later side of the mid 90's and after. So he shifted a few pounds got some green contacts and tried to comeback and make a great 4th game, think Muhammad Ali. Infact its exactly like Ali trying to get a fourth title, as much as you remember him and want him to be great and do it for a fourth. You know that he had nothing left and should have retired years ago and he can only damage himself more , yet people still went to watch him fight (buy the games) in the silly hope you can catch a small piece of the magic.

Wow i have gone insane today!

This is Sonic

I'm not sure what that pic is originally from (ie Japanese art, or one of the modified US images), but this one is one of my favorites:
(original used for JP Sonic 1 box and SMS Sonic 1 in EU and NA)

Opposed to the modified SoA art:


I know Tiido is fond of the Dreamcast Sonic Art though.

Also, Sonic Unleashed character Design seems shifted a bit back towards *old* sonic (body not as much like the old one as SA1, but look at the Shoes) -see attachment-
Of course nothing has gone further off than the STH06 design... ('nuff said) Your pic, is from that game of course. (though it's interesting to note the shoe styling there too)

B/c that's not what Mario did.

Make no mistake about it, this whole thing is about capitalizing on New Super Mario Bros Wii's success.

If only they were capitalizing on Megaman 9 instead.
