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?
