Oh Sonic... here we go again...

[Koopaul]

Honestly this is the closest were getting to Sonic 4, okay?

And Mama Robotnik needs to calm down.

[GrooveMan.exe]

I still think they should release a metroidvania-ish game starring Knuckles and Rouge. Give him some gameplay depth beyond him being "Angry Red Sonic".

[Kesha]

man I like how people can explain exactly why they don't like something and people brush it off as "THESE PEOPLE WILL NEVER BE HAPPY!!"

I get it, you like the game, that's great... no reason to treat everyone who doesn't like it as an unpleasable asshole, seriously that's uncalled for and immature as hell.

and no, I don't care about Sonic 4 but pretty much every discussion I've seen about it has been ridiculous.

[Cobalt Blue]

this would be so avoidable by not naming the game sonic 4. thats the bare root of all this shitstorm and any futher shitstorms its next episodes will cause.

But Met wait, if THIS can't be called Sonic 4 what SHOULD be called Sonic 4?

see: Super Mario Bros. 4.

[Koopaul]

But its damn annoying when someone acts like the game is shit and is all snarky about their complaints. I'm obviously talking about Mama Robotnik.

You can have complaints, and you don't have to like it. But when you act like a good game is shit, then you're just being a baby.

fun fact: sega was nominated for this year's best Iphone Apps developer

[Koopaul]

Even Rokkan said some positive things about the game. And understands why people would like it.

[Kesha]

I don't see any reason to pretend a game you think is garbage is anything but that... it's a game you can't hurt its feelings.

[Iceman404]

Man, Sonic 4 has split the fanbase even further apart than usual.

[DadNier]

well yeah, because now sega gave us something superficially sorta close to what we wanted, kind of (WARNING SIREN TO REMIND ALL WHINY BABIES ITT: I'M NOT SAYING THIS GAME IS ABSOLUTE SHIT, THIS IS NOT SONIC 2K6, IT'S NOT THAT BAD) and the smart people are going to see "oh, actually this isn't really quite right at all, it's good bit off in several important ways" and the whiny babies are gonna go "waaah you guys are never happy" and some people just seem destined to be whiny babies
so basically if it is splitting it it's because it's confronting the sega fanbase with a fundamental character flaw they have

[Omegajak]

I think if there would be anything to be angry about (Or split the fan base down some more) it's the fact all that fan made stuff will never see final release. That? Is a REAL tragedy and problem onto itself.

[GaryCXJk]

So yeah, I'll be getting Sonic 4 once I'll get the money for it, or I'll at least try the game on XBLA. I mean, I'm the type of gamer who first tries then judges.

You're saying this as if all of us haven't played Sonic 4 ourselves. I'd hardly call it a bad game as it is very good in its own right, but its as similar to the Genesis Sonic games as Mario games are to Kirby games. Basically my problem with it is that they're taking a game that in many ways (Physics, graphics style, music, etc.) is VERY different from the classic series and is calling it a sequel to that.

I guess I'm a little butthurt thinking about what it could have been. But I had really, really hoped that this would be as much like the Genesis Sonic games as they said it was going to be. So basically there was false advertising IMO and then on top of that they want $15 for the game and only part 1 at that. And its really kind of stupid that I can pay $10 to get Perfect Dark on the XBLA and a much smaller game like this is worth more.

Yes, I'll probably get it eventually. But right now I can't find myself enjoying the game enough to warrant buying it for number of reasons.

Hey, guys, this used to be a Sonic Colors thread.

So here's some stuff about god damn Sonic Colors

[X Gamer 66]

Oh wow, I forgot about Sonic Colors.

In addition we also have the 3D, the forward racing type of gameplay, however we don't do mechanics like jumping.

Sounds like they're going from "hold up and jump occasionally to win" to just "hold up to win".
