Sonic 4: Episode 2 Screens & Media Topic

[TimeWalker]

I watched the trailer and it does look okay.

The thing is, the trailer made the game look good. But I still have a feeling that they're hiding something. I'm pretty sure it will be yet another disappointment like Episode I.

Do you see a health bar over the Snowy? No?

It amounts to the same thing when have to you repeatedly bash the jump button just to defeat one enemy. Where's the fun in that?

Exactly. It wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the HA.

Watched the trailer. What to say?

I FUCKING HATE SONIC 4 MARKETING! It's like

Sega: SO WE HEARD U LIKE CLASSIC PHYSICS? WELL WE"VE GOT A NEW ENGINE!!! AWESOME, ISN'T IT?

From what I saw in the trailer the physics feel EXACTLY the same. Oh, yeah, uncurling is gone. But it's something that should be in the game from the very damn beginning! There was no reason to say things about uncurling as if it was the greatest thing in the franchise and the greatest invention of Sonic 4! Sega hypes the game so damn much just to show us NOTHING that looks differently to Ep1 aside from the aforementioned uncurling.

I didn't like that Snowy takes multiple hits too.

I don't like that oversimplification that are the signs. It's like

"Here you must use co-op attack"

"Here you must use Tails to fly"

"Watch out! Here's the pit!"

That shit was nowhere to be seen in the classic games and it was FUCKING GREAT!

The trailer also consists of springs and boosters when they could at least TRY to make the game without them. And why the heck didn't they show us gaining momentum?!

What I did like is the visuals. And the remix.

I actually don't hate what the game is going to be. I'm just mad at SEGA for their retarded hype raising when there's nothing to be so hyped about. The game definitely is an improvement over Ep1. I like it, but the trailer didn't like IMPRESS me.

Do you see a health bar over the Snowy? No? And Heroes, challanging? Oh you silly.

It's funny because you completely missed the point on both counts, but still responded with sarcasm.

Health bars weren't the problem. Normal enemies themselves requiring repeated HA spam to kill were. The enemies being too challenging wasn't the problem. Them being annoying as fuck and sequence-breaking were.

The more you know.

Ah, so you played the game I presume? I mean surely there's no other way you could have known the game FEELS the same way as Ep.1 based off 2 seconds of them showing off physics.

Plus, Snowy taking multiple hits is a reference to the mini-bosses from Sonic 3. Plus did you honestly expect something that big to be taken down by one hit?

And the signs were in Colors and Generations, yet I presume you didn't mind them in there, so why here? There was also an option to turn them off in Gens. If it weren't for this SHIT, then how would we know how to perform these combo moves? Stand there for 10 minutes and randomly push buttons?

And Sega didn't hype this trailer. They just said

"Hey we have a game-play trailer this Thursday."

Everyone on the forums suddenly jumped up and over-hyped themselves. You can't blame Sega for doing that.

Actually, no, you can.

It is a natural reaction to the idiotic drip-feed hype train Sega has used for both episodes of Sonic 4 so far.

Exactly how do you know this? Snowy appears in at least two different parts of the level, appearing to do little more than swing at you to boot. He's quite clearly not a mini-boss. What kind of reference would that be?

*watches trailer* yep, this is gonna completely blow episode 1 out of the water.

[Tails spin]

They were hyping the game. Sometimes more than Sonic generations, which was THE big game. Same marketing campaign as Ep1.

Also what the guys above said.

The music sounds kind of like Classic Speed Highway.

[Red Cap]

Back then there were manuals. There were also tutorials like in Sonic rush adventure. Ah, screw that. It's SONIC FREAKING FOUR!

Nice trailer. I was surprised to see that Sonic 4 episode II seems to play somewhat similar to Sonic 4 episode I.

I have no idea why I would have expected anything else, but for some reason I listened to the informed opinion of people looking at still shots. I should know better by now.

Anyway, I actually had fun playing Sonic 4, so I'll likely have fun playing its second episode. Good show, Sega.

At 25 seconds in it looks like Tails has his 'tails attack' from Adventure/Advance.

Wow, that made no sense...

AT WHAT POINT, WAS SONIC BOUNCING?!?

AT WHAT POINT, DID SONIC SEEM HEAVY!?!?

AT WHAT POINT, DID SONIC LOOK HEAVY WHILE FALLING?!?!?

Sorry for the caps, but Jesus use on topic examples next time rather then pulling random ones out of your ass to make it seem on-topic.

That was Cool

Almost everything in the gameplay is dynamic

[Soniman]

Im with Mike on this one, though I was indeed underwhelmed by the trailer, I know damn well that it didnt show a fraction of what the game had to offer.

People honestly need to stop making mountains out of molehills.

[Tornado]

Oh I just know. Just like how everyone here knows the physics will suck from just watching afar.
