Chux, as soon as I got to Frog's comments on the previous page I started looking for that image.
This feels like a shitty flash game. Why is it that I stop immediately when I jump and push the opposite direction?
Ugh ugh ugh. I wasn't expecting this to actually feel like a Sonic 4, but this isn't even Sonic Rush. Hell, I'd rather play Sonic 3D Blast than this.
The music doesn't even get Sonic like until like Lab. Act 2. Sad times.
Tried the demo!
One level may not be enough, but I wasn't feeling it. The weird acceleration, jumping, overall slowness...
...then I turned on Sonic 2. Forgot that it is also, with rare ocassions, pretty slow. Although the weight of Sonic when he runs and jumps is much better.
The big thing I thought everyone at TNL knew and loathed about newer Sonic's is that the franchise isn't JUST about going fast. Sonic 1, 2, 3, and S&K had some smart level designs that gave the adventerous exploring types plenty to find, just like it gave speed freaks a reaon to slow down once in a while.
Not that I'm saying making Sonic 4 so deliberately slow is a GOOD thing...but I don't think its nearly as terrible as people are makig it out to be. I'll pass and wait for Colors though.
Based on playing the demo a couple of times, I'm not really getting the hate. No, it's not the same as Genesis Sonic, it's really Sonic Advance 4 on a home console. Do I wish it was made with the same skill as the first 3.5 Sonics? Sure, but that doesn't make this a bad game. The only thing that really bugs me is that the screen is zoomed in too far, like the Game Gear Sonics. I have played Genesis Sonic on my TV recently and Sonic 4 Sonic is too damn big and you can't see enough stage around you.
I might pick up the full version over the weekend and I reserve the right to hate the game at a later time.
