Sega NEWS! Sonic 4 Episode II trailer revealed

So, Sega finally let the trailer for their upcoming title Sonic 4: Episode II out.
After all those screenshots, we can finally see how it will all be in motion.

New engine, new visuals and better physic.
Also the gameplay will include some nice new original ideas thanks to Tails' help.

Here it is:


SONIC 4 EPISODE II - La vidéo des retrouvailles par SEGA

Looks lovely!
Love the much improvement look all around.
Thank god for an actual 3D engine. The previous CG rendered-2D just didn't do it for me...

Of course, playing Rayman Origins at the moment, it steps below that and I can see why this one's digital only and not a full retail feature....

It will b eout in Sprinh.

SEGA News! Sonic 4 - part 2 new screens

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?

Sega NEWS! Introducing Sonic 4 Part 2

A new video teaser trailer was released by Sega yesterday, to announce the debut of Sonic 4 Episode 2!

Don't expect much from a reveal teaser video, but here it is anyways.
Check it out:



Nothing much to go with, but it seems this promises us co-op/2 players/Tails playable at least.
Also Metal Sonic will have some part to play...

Some have already said it might connect/relate to Sonic CD, which was re-released not long ago on current systems.~

Sega NEWS! Sonic the Hedgehog 20th Anniversary Trailer!!

Sega just released a bunch of new Sonic Generations related pics and a new trailer!

3DS version cover art revealed!

So, let's check 'em out, shall we?
First up, there's a brand new Website online. Check it out!

And here's the official character renders of Tails. Classic and Modern!

 Click for bigger Res.

And new (reimagined) levels announced!

First up, Chemical Plant Zone from Sonic 2!
Maybe not the favorite one for younger Sonic fans who didn't use to play the Megadrive/Genesis. But one of my favorites personally. The music, the visual design, the traps/enemies/platform segments.. It was such a fun and radically different from the first level.

And now here's Stardust Speedway from Sonic CD.
A game that is strangely cult, taking the fact that it wasn't released on a system that was much popular originally... Probably fanboys who never played it back then originally and started loving it to sound "cool" and retro (and as a counter-move due to modern Sonic moves getting quite a bad rep these last couple of years..)
Anyways, Metal Sonic was revealed not long ago, so enjoy this obvious much needed classic moment!

Woah! Nice!
Gotta love Classic!Sonic's face :D

Finally, Check out this retrospective video celebrating Sonic's 20th Anniversary!



I'm guessing it's showing the games that will make it into Generations.
As well as hinting directly at the levels Sonic Team picked to remake.

Sonic NEWS! Metal Sonic joins in Generations

You know who's coming back in Sonic Generations?

Metal Sonic, that's who!
Probably in a recreation of his level/boss fight/race from Sonic CD I guess.
