I have the RAR file. If you're on an IM client I can send it to you. Or, hell, I'll just upload it. I'm tired, not thinking straight. URL incoming in a moment.

This blows Sonic 4 right out of the water. You guys are right Sega should buy them up and make this Sonic 4 episode 2 or something.
They should hire the developer to complete the game and then give it away in atonement, VF Remix style, to anyone who has bought a Sonic game in the last decade.
Looks like others uploaded it to Mega Upload, as it only took me ten seconds to upload a 100mb file. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MW4Y5RG4
Oh right, that's what Sonic feels like! It's been so long I'd forgotten.
Even in its unfinished state this is the best Sonic I've played since the Genesis. No powerups, no bonus levels, no boss, not even any spikes, but it still feels like Sonic is supposed to.

Nobody should give SEGA money for a sonic game again, imo.
Seriously, just look at the quality difference here:

It's almost unacceptable how much more detail is in the fan game. Especially when you consider that it's a .exe and he did it basically himself without a budget. Sega spent millions to make 4 and it looks like a bag of dicks.
My brother was playing this last night. I haven't had a chance to play it yet but damn it looks sooooo much better than Sonic 4.
I don't think Sega spent millions on Sonic 4. :p
But your point is still valid.
If they did it really doesn't look like it.
