Man this really is seeming like it's too good to be true. Especially since Sonic 3 & Knuckles is my favorite of the 2D Sonics and the level design was fantastic.
yeah, fuck the people who says its shit because his legs are too long! fuck them right the way to green hill zone and may they stay stuck forever!!! MWAHAHAHAHA
This is indeed epic news, enough to make up for most of my worries about this game, now if they just add Tails and Knucs as playable, don't put in the homing attack, and improve the animation this game might be bordering on perfect.
Well that's good but only one guy i mean Sega should round up as many people who worked on the classic Sonic games you know Sonic 1-3, S&K and Sonic CD. If Sega had a team full of guys that worked on those classics then i would be feeling even better than i am now about Sonic 4, but i think they are on the right path to resurrecting the blue speed demon.
This actually BAD news. Some of the levels in Sonic 3 were not that great. I'm looking at you Carnival Night Zone. Although, there is potential this guy met Michael at some point.
It's Kinda sad, we all know they wont be able to evolve the Sonic formula, like Nintendo did with Mario, they also know it therefore they do this game. I will definitely buy it since i enjoy videogames but will i enjoy it as much as Mario Galaxy? surely not. I am pretty sure ill finish it and forget about it, yet im still talking about mario Galaxy 3 years after released. They wont ruin this, simply because is the same old formula we have always enjoyed, but i would love to see Sega at least trying to do something fresh with Sonic not the same old song and dance...
I don't care if they don't evolve the formula, every time they've tried it's ended in failure.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the BEST Sonic game. Graphics, music, sound, level design, it's all the best in S3&K.
Now I hear that a senior level designer from S3 is working on S4? Sign me up.

I can't tell if the people I've seen bitch that Sonic isn't evolving are just trolls or are serious.
Where have these people been for the last 10 years?

Personally Sonic 2 is my favorite, but I mean, this seems like great news. Hey Sega when are you gonna put dreamcast games up on PSN?
The closest to Evolution that Sonic has in my opinion was Either Sonic Adventure 2 or sonic unleashed day time...
I mean I can play a sonic game in 3D if sonic Just used Momentum for speed, and had a wider open space...
otherwise...this is good news :]

The sonic series is as ingrained in
my childhood as most but I am getting nightly tired of reading people post
"don't mess this is sega"......
As if by messing this installment up would be a horrific act akin to taking you to the past in a time machine and forcing you to piss in the face of your younger self.
Seriously, I love sonic as much as the next person but please get a grip, it's a game amongst a list of hundreds of thousands.
If this sonic sucks then there are other games.

The reason people say "Don't mess this up, SEGA!" is because this has the potential to be a great Sonic game. Unlike everything Sonic related released in the last couple of years/decade.

I am still full of confidence with this game. Many 'fans' are complaining about all this junk that doesn't even matter and they whine to SEGA that they should change everything to fit their desires. I say, f*ck them, SEGA. I want to play the game that was originally intended. Keep up the good work, guys.
Yeah of course I know of the recent 3d games, actually I have played most of the ones that came for Xbox360 and own most of them and i do agree they sucked balls. I'm not bitching just for the sake of it, like most people do in the comments section. I actually think there is potential for the next step in the sonic saga but somehow Sega never gets there... also I'm not again this game, I play games for fun, and to love and enjoy a kind of game you don't have to hate another. I will definitely get this game day one; but as a gamer I just wish they could make the next great sonic game... that was my point.
@randombullseye that was a bad level but then Sonic 2 had oil ocean zone which was crap, and sonic 1 had that final level zone with the purple water which sucked.
Not like Sonic 1 and 2 where perfect!

And you know what? Sega has gotten so far away from the original formula that even the recent games don't feel like Sonic anymore. All of us would like to see Sonic progress, but before Sega can do that it would seem that they need to go back to the old formula and figure out if it is what the fans want. That more or less seems like one of their primary objectives with Sonic 4.

Level design was my only problem with every single Dimps Sonic game.
Slightly looking forward to this now

Indeed VGFreak, you are totally right it didn't feel like Sonic and definitely were not fun those games felt like a chore and i was really dissapointed, i do hope they take in consideration what we enjoy about Sonic games for future games...
I'm calling it now: This game is really Sonic ADVANCE 4. They just took out the advance part to trick everyone. I've seen and heard enough to know that this game won't be a true sequel to Sonic 3/S&K. You guys can be optimistic all you want. A lot of people like mediocrity these days.
@jasonana
I do expect sega to go back to making 3D sonic games right after this. I think there's a reason why it's Dimps making this game and not sonic team itself... when it comes to the sonic games, dimps has always been working on what are more like side projects than main sonic titles. Really what dimps is doing with sonic 4 seems like what they have already been doing for handheld games just on a bigger platform; calling it "sonic 4" is really just a marketing ploy. While Dimps make episodes of this game, sonic team will probably be making more 3d sonic

This is all a big prank, right? This game can't actually be in development. I refuse to believe it. Sega has to be fucking with us.
I do hope they make more 3D games Monte, i just want them to do better quality games and this seems like a good opportunity to do it. There is potential i just wish they exploit it better... and your theory makes a lot of sense.
I'm all for some retro gaming and I'd sure as hell take this over another FPS or more Heavy Rain-style photorealism whoring, but I can't say I like this nostalgiafest marketing campaign. It seems like they're just going for the obvious; I want to be shocked.
I think some people are missing the point. You rediscover what made the brand great in the first place and you have a better idea of how to take into newer directions.

It's almost sad the level of reassurance they need to keep shoving down our throats that they've learned their lesson and can change. Sort of like a clingy ex girlfriend.
Oh wow.
I thought Sonic 3 & Knuckles was the best 2D Sonic game EVER. This is going to be awesome. Also, why the hate for Carnival Night Zone?
@Turtlehermit
You're everything that's wrong with the gaming industry on the consumer side of things.

@Netnavi
I have played sonic advance 1 and 3 and both sonic rush games, I know they feel different from the older games but then sonic 2 felt different from 1 and sonic 3 felt a little different as well.
I can't see how this won't make it sonic 4.

@Pedro if you played this, you should know this. The barrels in act 2. Took people forever to figure out. It took me years to actually figure it out lol.
Sonic 3 was my least favorite of that original trilogy (or Sonic and Knuckles if you count that as a separate game), but this at least gives me hope that the game will retain a classic feel.
@T3hKaiser:
Shocked by what? A werehog? Let them make a decent game for once, hopefully they'll rediscover what makes the series so great, and then apply that to a new game.

I'm hoping to see some levels on par with Ice Cap Zone, it's always been one of my favorite levels in the game.
I love Sonic the character but this game which is not worthy to be called Sonic the Hedgehog 4 has all the elements of LIES!, FAIL!, Sonic Advance 2!, Sonic Rush! and SUCK! written all over it.
How can he run like a STIFF bouncing up and down moving across the level as seen in the freeaking trailer??
His feet seems to just slip and slide on the ground as he moves right ward. You call that running Sega?
Heck, even the old-but-gold Sonic1 looks and feels speedy as he has logical running dynamics?
How could Sonic stand still @ 45 degrees on his back and not fall down over a ledge?
And why does hefeel "top heavy" is he just like my action figure?
With all the graphical power the present consoles have how can Dimps screw up in this very small details?

I love the way Sega didn't mention that this is the same guy who directed Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, and NiGHTS Wii. He directed Sonic Adventure 1, but then he went and made Adventure 2, and Sonic hasn't recovered since.
