Sonic 4 Ep 2 locks on with ep 1, lets you play as Metal sonic with new physics

Are MSP priced the same way as Wiiware points? If so, I know I would gladly pay thay.

No, microsoft space bucks are assigned arbitrary values. Like 1600 points is $20, IIRC. The actual end price winds up being the same (i.e. you have to spend the equivalent amount of points) but since you can only buy points in set increments, you usually wind up paying a bit more.

PSN lets you directly add funds to your wallet, so if a game costs $4.99 you pay only $4.99. it's the best method out of all the DD services, steam excluded (of course).

Oh ok, well then providing there is other stuff I would want as well(which there is), I would gladly do it.

As for the PSN true, but there's a much bigger issue, most of the stuff is so insanely overpriced. I always thought it was the developers fault, but I read a article saying It's Sony's shop model(aka like making all PSP DLable games cost 45ish by default or something along those lines, so unless there's a special condition, like a sale, that's what you pay for all PSP titles(disclaimer: this is just an example, and the numbers posted are probally not 100% accurate).

...games are the same price across PSN and XBLA, moron.

Really, why do all the XBL games I hear about, priced only margenally more then wiiware game, yet the evil PSN games cost almost as much as the physical game does in retail stores?

because they ARE retail games, dumbass. PSN titles and XBLA titles are priced the same. Xbox on Demand titles, and PS3 titles which can be downloaded from their respective servers, are usually in-line with retail prices, and even then, PS3 titles on PSN are usually cheaper than Xbox on Demand titles on XBL.

Sonic 4 Episode 1 is $10 on PSN. It's 800 MS points on XBLA. 800 MS Points costs $10.

This is shit that you can literally find out in seconds using google. Why don't you research things before you open your mouth?

Okay people, let's keep it civil. No one has to make fun of another.

Digital copies should not be priced as high as physical releases, that is down right evil, they are basically just leasing the game to you(you don't own anything at all), so basically you're paying top dollar just to temp be allowed to play X game, that you could've actually owned for the same price.

Some PC companies pull this too, there must be alot of suckers out there to actually let companies get away with that.

I love how in the video they actually showed part of the original commercial for Sonic and Knuckles. But, seriously, this looks freaking awesome. Such a huge improvement over Episode 1. Finally seeing some original, creative levels and the return of "lock-on technology" is really getting me excited for this game.

This is neat! If I get to play as Metal Sonic, then I will surely purchase this! I just wish that one day they will consider releasing all the episodes on one compilation disc!

Meh, I thought Sonic 4 Episode 1 was one of the worst side-scrolling Sonic games ever made. I think I'll pass.

Really, I didn't hear any hate towards it(lol but then again with the bipolar sonic fanbase, that doesn't mean anything), what's wrong with it(I was planning to try it)?

[Kogen]

The new game looks like Sonic Colours, but with co-op. Not bad, but still far off from the Sonic 4 quality anyone was expecting. At least it is not the mess the first game was (easily one of the worst games I own).

It has terrible level design, cheap midi sounding music, the physics are completely broken (rolling into a ball makes you move slower for example) and the art direction is abysmal.

Oh, that does sound bad indeed.

I know Sonic fans are generally the worst on the internet ever, but they are right in saying Sonic 4 Ep1 is actually a bad game, because it is.
