"Sega has taken the wraps off Project Needlemouse, and the publisher is positioning the game as a proper sequel to the series' Genesis genesis and Sonic the Hedgehog 3, specifically. The publisher has released a new trailer for the game, revealing its official title: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1."
http://www.gamespot.com/news/6249457.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=topstory&tag=topstory;title (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6249457.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=topstory&tag=topstory;title)
If a rumor (which more or less is looking all but confirmed) is to be believed, each episode of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 will be the length of a standard Sega Genesis Sonic title, (Seven Zones with Seven Chaos Emeralds) much like Sonic 3 & Knuckles. It is set to be released in the summer for WiiWare, Xbox Live Arcade, Playstation Network, and a mysterious 4th platform. (However, someone has done some digging into the official site, and the last platform the game will be released on seems to be iPhone/iPod Touch.)
And here's the official site!

Heh, posted your topic as soon as I posted mine. o.O#

I'm pretty sure it's Sega's way of making sure they squeeze every buck they can out of this. That being said, Sonic 3 & Knuckles was episodic too, and well... that's pretty much regarded as the best game in the series.
I'll try to be optimistic, though. There's just too much room for Sega to screw up here.

But still, going backwards is the most logical thing to do, at this point. I'm actually looking forward to seeing a "2-D" version of modern Sonic and Dr. Eggman (aka Robotnik).
Even if the game comes in "episodes", I won't mind at all if they are indeed the length of a full Genesis Sonic game.
Sega, you can finally have some of my money for a Sonic game again. ::salute::
Post by: ATiC3 on February 08, 2010, 03:39:45 PM
I think instead of 3D though, it may be closer to 2.5D.... going 3D with a classic game series like that is just stupid. 2.5D is more of a logical thing for this type of classic series than 3D is...

Though Shadow or a charecter that was introduced pre- 2003, (except Big, of course.) Heck, even Espio would be cool if he played like he did in Chaotix.
As long as it's a decent charecter, with a different play style, it'll be good.

Tails was always my least favorite Sonic character.
Not me, for me it was always characters not in the Genesis/CD games.
The one that reigns the top of the worst characters is Big The Cat. Not only is he one of the worst characters in the Sonic franchise, but he's one of the worst characters ever created.

Even if His Charecter DESIGN was okay, his Voice and gameplay made me want to stop playing Adventure 1.
Post by: Violent Ken Masters on February 13, 2010, 08:35:57 PM
you are honestly going to tell me that unnecessarily and lazily repainting sonic the hedgehog and giving him magical powers that don't even fit into the scope of the entire series of games, just because it's cool and might help sell the game is somehow not as bad as trying to make a new character with a somewhat unique personality for a game that encouraged multiple characters with different gameplay?
lol, I didn't even think about Silver, the Sonic 06 demo was so horrendous that I didn't even bother to play the actual game. I'd say Big and Silver are equally on the same suckyness (I know its not a word, but it should be). Big was just so.... ugh.. Everybody hates him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYwbAPePd6A# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYwbAPePd6A#)

Seriously, we don't need evil hot topic sonic. we don't need time travelling psychic sonic. we don't need knuckles with heart shaped boobs who happens to be a bat. we don't need a rabbit with a pet chao that can do the same stuff tails can do. we don't need the chao garden at all.
knuckles doesn't need his own team of heroes, each more of a stereotype than the last. who seriously thought an alligator with gold chains and headphones was cool?
we don't need to play as one of eggman's robots. we don't need to go fishing as a mentally handicapped cat with a pet frog. we don't need a robot who can mimic other people's abilities but lacks a personality of his own.
doctor robotnick doesn't need a dad. he doesn't even need a backstory aside from "evil scientist, kind of an bunghole".
we don't need a walrus who happens to be a mechanic, we don't need a cyborg rabbit (seriously WTF?), we don't need an outlaw weasel.
we need sonic the hedgehog, running really fast and messing stuff up. we can get by with tails and knuckles taging along, because they offer new and interesting abilities that will help us get through the levels differently. we need eggman and metal sonic so we have someone to beat the crap out of. They don't even need an explanation aside from "that dudes a bad guy. he needs to die."
that's really it. no olympics, no werewolves, no black knights, no secret rings, and especially no bioware RPGs for the nintendo DS.
Post by: -Whiplash- on February 15, 2010, 12:43:21 AM
The problem with sonic is that they introduce a new charecter EVERY game. If they did it once in a while, it'd be okay, but noooo.
They need to make one every game.
That being said, I like Shadow, Espio, and Rouge. The rest are pretty... meh.
I guess cause my First sonic games was sonic 3 and Knuckles, then Adventure 2 though, my veiwpoints are not the same.
Post by: SanjiSasuke on February 15, 2010, 01:44:05 AM
you know what it is? there are too many of these extra characters, and for the most part, they're ALL uninspired and lame. There are just so many of them now that we're at each others throats over which ones are the worst offenders.

If it was that simple in all games it would always be "Ryu, me an' you gotta save da wold from da avil BISON!" "YEAH OKAY KEN!!!" in Street Fighter. No Akuma, Seth, or anything like that, probably the 8 and that's it.
But too many new characters were made yeah. However we need some stuff. Like the Olympics games, they are fun minigame games nonetheless (even if they will never explain how MARIO can keep up with Sonic the super fast hedgehog...)
More relating to the topic: This game will not have ANYONE but the originals I believe as it is a direct sequel to S3 and S&K.
Post by: Nilakantha on February 15, 2010, 08:33:36 AM
I do like Knuckles, Espio, Vector, Mighty, Charmy from Chaotix. Shadow, Amy, and Tikal are nice too. I didn't care much for Rogue and thought some of her background was weird like I saw one were she was working for the government or something like that. Maybe it was a cartoon or something, but it looked weird with a bunch of humans briefing with a funny looking bat. I thought Silver was cool, but they should have introduced him in a very different way, because in Sonic '06 Sega just literally threw him in there and didn't give him enough background. Blaze is somewhat of a mystery as I can't figure out what to think of her.

I agree. With Sonic, they should mainly have just Sonic playable or has 2 extras while the rest of the cast just pops in every now and then. For example, your in a stage and you come across Espio who gives you info on the enemies or something like that. The characters don't have to play a major role. SF only like 5 characters are really involved with the story and the rest are there as background characters.

Extra Charecter like Chaotix/shadow, etc. could be playable, if just to have them playable, like Tails in Sonic 3, or Protoman in MM9.
They don't need a story.

Your best bet at playing this game is an Emulator like Gens+ or RetroDrive and the Knuckles CHaotix Rom, or if your lucky, maybe you can buy an old 32x with Chaotix.
Post by: Tenspeed on February 16, 2010, 01:44:17 AM
Okay what about Mario? Same type of game, it would have Bowser and an unnamed Princess. Maybe Luigi but not the Wario bros. not any of the spin-offs, not Smash Bros. If you went by the same thing for Donkey Kong first, actually there would be no Super Mario Bros. at all, just jumpman and DK jumping over barrels and fire people. Even platforming games need some development. Like I said though, you are right about a lot of new characters, they bring like 3 and 1/2 per new game usually.
mario got by fine with mario and luigi saving the princess from bowser for their first four games.

So, it looks like there's a throwback to Green Hill Zone, Labyrinth Zone from Sonic 1, Casino Night from Sonic 2, and Metropolis Zone from Sonic 2 as well. Also it looks like they brought the little running swirl animation back. (Last time it was used was in Brawl, IIRC.) So it's looking not to be a total train wreck now... I'm actually pretty optimistic, now :)

The level names are like throwbacks to the old games, but they are in fact completely new levels.

I guess Sonic can now join those franchises as the hardest fans to please.sonic fans arent hard to please there just confused as to why after like 15 years does sega decide to make a good sonic game all of a sudden
that's just opinion. I rather enjoyed ODST.I agree the singleplayer while short was the most interesting installment in the franchise since halo:CE and firefight was just awesome

Why the boycott? I grew up on it, and looking at it, it is a true and real Sonic the Hedgehog 4. How come if a new Mario comes out, even if it is MARIO IN SPAAAACE! *cough* everyone loves it, but every new Sonic game is "just not good"?because 90% of the Mario fanbase are ego-maniacal zombies that will like anything they put out. I played Mario Sunshine, hated it, I played Mario Galaxy, hated it. NSMB.Wii got 4 times the sales of Galaxy, I can't blame people choosing old school Mario style over new school.
As for the Sonic fanbase, well it's been 16 years since a significantly great Sonic game has came out, so nobody wants to be let down, I personally don't have much faith in Sonic 4. The leaked video, the jump was too lengthy and Sonic gains speed a little too fast. The only thing that makes me have faith in Sonic 4 is that it has the same level designer as Sonic 3 & Knuckles. SEGA is a really trashy publisher company these days. =/

So, Because he accelerates quickly, and jumps slower the game is automaticly bad?
Man, Sonic "Fans" are the worst. Personnally, I disliked sonic 1, one of the weakest 2D sonic games IMO.
Also, I'd like to point out that I thought NSMB kinda was a let down. It was far to easy to be anything reminicant of the original mario games.

This.
Back on topic, These boycott idiots are making assumptions based on a not-even-two minute alpha phase video of the game, which absolutely fails to reflect even a possible demo download, let alone the final public release version of the game. Judgmental a bit much?
Also, by purchasing Sonic 1 instead of simply not buying anything, they're still giving SEGA revenue which will only further funding to continue making Sonic franchise games the way they see fit.

sonic fans arent hard to please there just confused as to why after like 15 years does sega decide to make a good sonic game all of a suddenI agree the singleplayer while short was the most interesting installment in the franchise since halo:CE and firefight was just awesome
Actually you just proved my point your response. Sonic fans ARE hard to please, just like Rockman, Zelda, Biohazard, Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, Akumajo Dracula, Mario, and Street Fighter. I rather enjoyed many of the recent Sonics that have came within the last 15 years. Maybe I'm just accepting to these franchises, regardless how I felt about Rockman 9, I still like many things within the game especially Splash Woman and many of the tunes while keeping the series from extincting. ODST was one of the few games that I have play that has turned me off because of the 1 and a half campaign. I like Halo 1,2, & 3's campaign and hoping Reach has a long campaign. I'm not much of a online multiplayer person which is why when I play a first person shooter, I want a quality campaign.
On topic, I hope Sonic 4 at least comes out on NDS or PSP so that I can have a hard copy.

...
So, Because he accelerates quickly, and jumps slower the game is automaticly bad?
Man, Sonic "Fans" are the worst. Personnally, I disliked sonic 1, one of the weakest 2D sonic games IMO.
Also, I'd like to point out that I thought NSMB kinda was a let down. It was far to easy to be anything reminicant of the original mario games.
Well if the mechanics don't go over well it won't well with the players and be known as a broken game, its not going to be criticized as a good game. Take the TMNT 4 remake for example. A lot of people loved it, but then a lot of people hated it. The same exact thing looks like its happening to Sonic 4.

...Man, Sonic "Fans" are the worst....
You know what, I have quite a bit to say about this. I've already mentioned before that this stupid boycott is the result of people viewing not even 45sec of actual playing from a leaking pre-demo build, but it goes even further than that. Sonic fans are simply down-right depressing people for several reasons right of my head that I can think of:
Beware, cool story bro is in effect from here on.

But I still want to play all of those Sonic games because I have never had any type of expectation for sonic games or for any games, so I'm never really displeased by them.

That's pretty much all of the characters from the Sonic series that do not take a rocket scientist to configure them into a game. ;D

He is not playable, they are merely referring to him as the Main Antagonist.
I really don't see how Eggman/Robotnik being in this game is considered news worthy.
I mean, it's pretty much a given, especially if this is a numbered sequel to the original games.

^^(PM)^It's 3-D:(
I think instead of 3D though, it may be closer to 2.5D.... going 3D with a classic game series like that is just stupid. 2.5D is more of a logical thing for this type of classic series than 3D is...

It's 2.5, 3d graphics, 2d movement.

...Jesus, are we still lost on the concept?
It's 2.5, 3d graphics, 2d movement.
Just like Street Fighter IV

I keep watching the vid. Just to see if I want it.
That leaked vid does no justice to the game at all.

People can't seem to figure it out:
SF4=2.5D
RMX8=2.5D
Klonoa=2.5D
Pandemonium=2.5D
Oboro Muramasa=2D
DMC=3D
TVC=2.5D

Would Donkey Kong Country count as 2.5D?

Hmm...I am not sure...they are 2D sprites, made from 3D models, but unlike KoF XII they are left and still look 3D. Maybe...
I won't be able to sleep then until this question has a definite answer, it sure does look like a DK game in style? WOW, head-ache... o.O#

I think DK would be 2d since you do not interact with the background nor do you interact with it. While SF4, the characters interact with the background in a way making it 2.5d, I believe.
That's pretty flawed. considering that that would make SF2 2.5D due to being able to interact with the background.

2.5D means NO 3D gameplay. Just like this game will be.
That's not necessarily true. Look at Mega Man 2.5D.
