Sonic 4: Episode 2 Screens & Media Topic

Lol DIMPS, thanks for the bullshit. No matter how good the mechanics are, as generations 3ds has proven, DIMPS cant do it without their shitty level design. DIMPS can't do it without their crappy way of designing levels. Springs everywhere, speedboosters everywhere, homing attack relying gameplay everywhere.

Have fun guys

Homming attack.......sigh

What, did the row of Bubbles previously shown not tip you off?

The game sucks...sigh...

The music reminds me a bit of All-Star Racing's menu music, so doubt it's from the game itself, much like how most of the episode 1 trailers didn't use the actual music.

Really hard to judge how much of an improvement it is from all the fast editing, but it at least looks a lot nicer.

[Kuzu]

*Sigh* As awesome as it looks, it really just looks like Episode 1 again, speed boosters and springs out the ass, and if they truly had fixed the physics, those wouldn't even be there. I'm not disappointed, but nowhere near as excited as I was before.

[springs everywhere, speedboosters everywhere, homing attack relying gameplay everywhere.

You mean that was a single level going from left to right with no breaks? Huh... and here I was thinking that it was a sample of a number of levels which cut to random points in them at rapid intervals along with several cases of possible puzzle elements... Hmmm maybe I was watching the wrong trailer?

And I'm sure I saw sections where Tails was helping Sonic through an underwater section as well as a flying section and even moments where it looked like Tails was actually in control over Sonic?

Heck, even if the gameplay is not as improved as we thought it to be, heck, I'll just buy it for the awesome graphics and CO -OP!

As for level design and physics.....well...they did a good job covering it up as much as they can.....so can't really tell at this point.

Anyway, still looks a lot better, and a lot more fun, then EP 1.

Don't expect Mega Drive physics, but do expect the major grievances such as the infamous inertia-killing deceleration and uncurling to be gone.

This is what Taxman said over at Retro.

[The future]

whoo........better graphics and Metal Sonic.

[Diogenes]

Really not feeling it.

They fixed the uncurling, sure, and it looks like they've throw in a few neat looking gimmicks, but that's...about it. Too many springs and boosters, enemies that take multiple hits, the team-up move takes too long, and I see nothing to convince me the physics are any better. No reason to get excited yet...

[Kuzu]

Also Spring 2012? Why so fucking early? Wouldn't it be better wait?

[Old dead account]

Background interaction? Already better than E1. I'm still seeing the blatantly obvious E1 physics though. come on Dimps what happened to the physics engine improvements? And the amount of springs? Uncurling's fixed at least.

My sig video is there for any one that was severely disappointed.

Not really sure why people jump on Dimps as if SEGA has absolutely no control over what they end up making. Seriously, SEGA and Dimps are making the game together.You can't shift blame onto just one of them.

And hell, even if it's not perfect I'm sure going to have fun with it.

[Balding Spider]

Wait he's played the game?

[Badnik Mechanic]

Thats assuming they've only been developing the thing for a few months, when if you speak to people in the know it's actually been in development for quite a while.

Episode 1 came out over a year ago. That's kind of not the point of episodic gaming, and I don't really see why they should delay it if they don't have to. Edited February 23, 2012 by Solly

[redhellc]

Why is everybody surprised with the date? Xbox live already leaked what is supposed to be the release date.

[Penny]

Apparently..

[Tiller]

So.

-They have the resources to make the graphics look great .

-They realized that the physics were off and fixed a few issues like rolling.

-They made sure the level tropes were interesting enough and diverse enough to be counted as new.

Then why the fuck does Sonic still not accelerate when going down a fucking hill? I mean, seriously? SERIOUSLY?

That bit with Tails carrying Sonic in front of the falling pillars really reminds me of something from Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Oh so we are getting the 3DS physics this time around.

[Zone Seeker]

Homing attacking a platform? weird...

and It looks like a redesign of Sonic 3's badnik Mantis made it in.

[Jeffhog]

Digging through tons of snow to get to certain areas? That's new!

Sonic did accelerate down a hill on 3DS

[Uklo]

Alright, trying to dissect the trailer, can't see Tails using the homing attack once, even when Sonic's spamming it against Snowy, so maybe Tails doesn't have a HA.
