Sega released not long ago a bunch of new screenshots of the upcoming digital title Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode II!
And it looks like they actually heard the fan complaints and problems with the first one.
Firsthand, the game will be letting go with that pre-rendered stuff from the first episode.
It looked good in Donkey Kong Country, but it is such a silly design nowadays. (I mean, if it was pre-rendered stop motion characters, alright that would be awesome. but pre-rendered CGi today? that's just lazy...)
The game will instead be in full 3D, not that different from Sonic Generations in a way.
(though honestly I'd have preferred 2D like Ubisoft's recent amazing Rayman Origins)
Tails is playable, or can join in the game (quite similar to Sonic 2-3-& Knuckles on the Megadrive). The game seems to be a big nostalgia trip to Sonic 2 and Sonic CD mostly.
Enjoy:
I can't believe I'm actually saying this...but..
It is even looking fantastic so far! Such improvement over the previous one!
Fun looking levels, Metal Sonic back as a rival..
So lemme guess..the next game will be a remix of Sonic 3/Sonic & Knuckles and will add a digital lock on to the previous titles alongside Knux playable?
I remember Sega saying something like that when Episode 1 was released.
ReplyDeleteAnd a Sega France PR almost confirmed this for later, after Ep3-4 (depending how far they'll go with these)
