Jim's article really did open me up more regarding the episodic thing. I won't have my hopes high quite yet, but just as long as it captures the feeling of the Genesis games well, I'll be satisfied.

What if the whole sonic 4 thing was just some crazy huge episode of Punked, culminating in Ashton Kutcher knocking down Jim Sterling's door proclaiming the whole thing was BS. Hey, it happened in some alternate universe somewhere.

You know what, the more I think of Sonic 4, the more excited I get. I think the game will be just fine, the single episode will have plenty of content as a wiiware/xbla/psn/iphone/pc game, and will be just as fun as its proper 'predecessors'. I think that people are just a little bit afraid of giving this a chance due to years of bad titles. Bring it on Sega, I'm interested.

I'm not saying this is the "Savior" of a doomed industry ... hardly, but it's a step in keeping fresh ideas palatable to an industry that gets enough crap for being considered immature, the reason-children-are-shooting-each-other, and worse yet, a "kids toy".
