Sonic 4 :D

[tigerred]

That's what Sega has decided to call "Project Needlemouse". No Tails. No Amy, Knuckles, Cream... NO SHADOW. :D Just good ol' Sonic.

Looks pretty nifty. ^^

Ohhh boy, Sonic 4. I've been following this project for a while now, and as I lurk + post in various Sonic communities... I have this to say.

For the love of all that is sacred in your life, don't visit the Sonic Retro thread on Sonic 4, you may want to bang your head against a wall afterwards.

They have been whining about the lack of a classic sonic game since Sonic Heroes, and now that this is announced, they are whining about a classic game non-stop. Over rather trivial things such as the fact that Sonic has green eyes etc. Declaring the game as ruined, that kind of thing.

But, I digress. Rant against a community I think that is totally defunct aside. I'm looking forward to this, and want to see where it's going. I'll probably buy this on Wiiware when it comes out, or check if there will be a CD release of all the episodes when it's finished.

Something new to watch and ponder over while hype continued to build.

I will be very cautiously optimistic about it. I've been let down by every Sonic reincarnation since Sonic Adventure and this, while looks promising, I'm still not convinced.

Good thing is, Sonic Team isn't the one who's making it, so there is hope for the game.

Well folks, due to lackluster security on Microsofts part, the entire soundtrack for this game has been found and released.

This soundtrack is complete for the most part, it lacks a few tunes, such as the jingles (1-up sounds, level clear sounds) and the ending theme though.

Also, the opinions on this soundtrack are very mixed, so, your milage may vary on whether this is a good soundtrack or not.

Ah, the thing I can't wait for, as someone said Sega isn't making it and to be honest, THANK GOD! I mean seriously, I was starting to think they were -trying- to ruin sonic on purpose.

On the notice of leaks, videos of two zones from the game have been uploaded. Acts 1-4 of two of the zones are out on video thanks to Microsofts ParterNet service... Whoops!

I won't be linking them out of respect of the creators, because, damn, that's half of the game spoiled for anyone who views the videos. But I figured you folks would find this interesting.
