Hopefully less than the $15 that will be on consoles.

I'm sure it's been mentioned already, but Sonic's movement is... awkward. It takes way too long for Sonic to gain momentum, so if you're expecting the same timing of movement as in the originals, you're out of luck.

This is the 360 version I'm talking about, a post E3 build. Maybe the final version is better? It being Sega... I kinda doubt it!

Oh, and when I asked about this:

They completely denied it's existence! lol

 

[scitek]

Would this game be getting the hate it is had that CG mock-up of Sonic 3 not appeared a few weeks back?

 

[Zen]

It's only for the Iphone now, and is apparently quite fun according to hands on.

Yeah definitely :lol

I feel the need to comment on something from the other thread:

2010 has blessed us with the 2 greatest games of all time: Halo Reach and Sonic 4

the only failures in this thread are the folks badmouthing Sonic

This is some pretty fantastic trolling. Well done, sir.

 

[To Far Away Times]

Yeah. The moment the leaked footage revealed we were getting a Sonic Advance game instead of Sonic 4 the backlash started.

Have you been paying attention to these threads at all?

I typically instantly ignore anyone who applies the term "fun" to any platformer on the iPhone.

TROLLING??

Title. :lol Subscribed, the old thread provided some laughs whenever I decided to read it.

Fortunately, no.

[22:12] Huelen: Sigh, what a waste. Seems like a nice, and not mean gesture from the sound of it, but unnecessary in my book.

Man I went from being super interested in this to having no faith whatsoever. The fact that first stage is just too.. I mean, I doubt it'll bring much new in the way of Green Hill Zone. But I can get by that - cool enough to have the first area designed that way. I get it. But then to see Casino Night - a place I never want to go to again - that takes up the secondary slot. Yikes. Not sure, just doesn't look as appealing as I rather fancied it to in my head (and never looking at media until now).

 

[jman2050]

Where's a mod so we can insert Mama Robotnik's OP into the first post?

The Mods do not hear the prayers of ones so lowly as Sonic fans.

We won't know until we try!

 

[Judderman]

Superior fan attempt at a game in the Sonic 4 style, with vastly superior physics (if a bit busy on visuals).

Wow.

Huelen's response to this thread


:lol

Since you've got a connection to him, clear it up once and for all: did he really get banned just for the green eyes thing, or did something happen after he got banned for that that made it permanent?

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

I can clear it up. He got banned for being an annoying, shitty poster. Happens sometimes.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Against.

Not paying $15 for what essentially amounts to a subpar romhack.

I approve of the direction you are attempting to take this thread.

Robotnik Demands an Explanation for why Sonic 4 is Sonic Advance HD

(Edit: Removing some commentary, it wasn't really necessary.) Something something how ironic that "Mr. Against" (who is most likely me despite the fact that both Ten-Song and Diablohead, who are both as down on the game as I am, have more posts than me) has more posts in the last thread than me or Willy. /paraphrase

You don't get off that easy.

I know, right? It's almost like I have a ridiculous amount of love for this franchise and don't like to see my childhood hero constantly mistreated like Sega has been doing for the past ten years along with many other franchises of theirs.

Yup.

Obligatory videos of fansdo what segdont

God, why does Sega suck so much?

I like this one:
Robotnik's Tea Party

Why does everyone else "get" how to make Sonic's run animation look good in 3D but Sonic Team? I love how "speedy/responsive/dynamic" Sonic's animations look in that video. The artstyle isnt the best though.

That HD remake screen is ugly!

 

[Yaweee]

Who knows, maybe it will be okay. I'll buy it on sale.

Oh. Wait. Fuck. It is console digital-only, so there are no real sales.

Fuck.

 

[cosmicblizzard]

"Dr. Ivo Robotnik, My name is Dr. Ivo Robotnik."

YES! This is my favorite one along with the Tea Party :lol

 

[Jazzy Network]

Fuck.

Xbox Live point card sales?

 

[Yaweee]

Xbox Live point card sales?

A few tens of percents off are nothing compared to retail or PC-digital sales.

 

[Teknoman]

Fuck.

Couldn't there be a price drop at some point?

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

I don't really keep up with XBLA, but PSN has sales quite often, and SEGA has participated in those sales frequently. I mean, nothing crazy like 90% off like you see on Steam or anything, but 50% off happens a lot.

 

[To Far Away Times]

At some point most likely. But the prices won't drop nearly as fast as retail.

That is a little bit reassuring. WiiWare/VC has had a horrible record with that sort of thing.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

was going to play the demo but thread title reminded why everything about sonic sucks by default nowadays so no thx

 

[Link1110]

Does iPhone ever support external controllers for games? I want to play the game, but my Wii is HB capable, and I'm keeping my PS3 at a hackable FW until CFW comes out for it. Am I just forced to play with a bad control scheme on iPhone?

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

That is a little bit reassuring. WiiWare/VC has had a horrible record with that sort of thing.

Yeah, well, Nintendo.

 

[Gameboy415]

Minute 1 on PSN.

I've been waiting for this damned game to come out since it was called Project Needlemouse!

 

[DMczaf]

99% of the time I think fan remakes look like shit, but this actually DOES look better than Sonic 4. What the fuck Sega.

 

[Man God]

Yeah, well, Nintendo.

The only ever sale on VC was a Sega one though. :lol

 

[Thunderbear]

I think it looks good/great for a downloadable title.

And I don't agree with the "superior" fan attempt (not that it's horrible either).

 

[Azure Dream]

You don't get off that easy.

To hell with "get off that easy," that was in my post a whole six minutes, and I know this part wasn't in your original reply. I axed it because I realized I was letting my annoyance with you feed into a thread where it shouldn't.

I know, right? It's almost like I have a ridiculous amount of love for this franchise and don't like to see my childhood hero constantly mistreated like Sega has been doing for the past ten years along with many other franchises of theirs.

I know, right? And it's like you've constantly let us know, and if this had been anything other than a Sonic thread on GAF, you would've been kicked to the curb a long time ago? You don't like this $15 digital download game. Move the fuck on. Seriously. Yes, it's called Sonic 4 and that's some gigantic insult to your childhood. You're an adult now, cope. You're entitled to have your opinion, but god damn do we know what that opinion is by now.

As for your point about Diablo and Ten-Song, neither of those two repeatedly insisted on writing the OT, and then proceeded to PM the person who said they'd be doing it just to insist on putting a troll of the game right in the topic title.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

I know, right? It's almost like I have a ridiculous amount of love for this franchise and don't like to see my childhood hero constantly mistreated like Sega has been doing for the past ten years along with many other franchises of theirs.

And yet I *know* I've seen you mocking Devil May Cry fans for being upset about DmC. Interesting, that.

 

[Drkirby]

I shale download the demo of this, should be enough for me to dismiss the game.
