I got here from TVTropes AND I've downloaded, played and beat the game. And guess what? While I have my complaints about physics, I had fun playing it and I feel it has great re-play value. Greatest Sonic game ever? Not by a long shot. A true return to Sonic form? No but a fantastic effort, just needs a little fine-tuning. A great game on it's own and a step in the right direction for the franchise? Yes indeed.
I think it's intentionally slowed down from the who played it, and captured the footage. After all they show the new stuff only for a second or two - it's well made/edited trailer :)
@Elli21486 the originals were slow as well. I mean, there was a bunch of platforming and only springs facing side ways, hills, and the speed up item help sonic go fast
@mcknight9127 Well, that, and also I have a very low opinion of "episodic" gaming. The first great experiment with it didn't make it passed episode 1, and there's always the risk that it will go on and on and become nothing more than a cash cow. All I want is Sonic 4 that I can buy from a shop on a disc. Ah, well...
Another thing. If This Game Is Succesfull, sega need to keep it up, if they go back to making bad games, Sonic Will Slowly Die. Sonic The Hedgehog = My Favorite Childhood Game Series. The Last good one was SA2B. Sonic the hedgehog 2, has to be my favorite of all time though. ;D Im so excited about this!

Sega, please give Sonic 4 Episode 3 another chance! Us Sonic fans are very sorry for bringing hate to Sonic 4. If y'all are going to work on Sonic 4 Episode 3, don't rush the development.
Man why cant they keep making the good sonic game like adventure 1 & 2? I meen dont get me wrong im not dissing this game im a huge old school sonic fan my first game system was the sega genesis and the first game I played was sonic 2. Now I have a sonic mega collection game for ps2 that has all the old sonic games and everytime I get high I go play it. lol Anyways yeah I think sega couldve at least made 2 or 4 good sonic games again before going down this road.
Honestly, some ideas from Episode 2 (and Episode Metal) could've been cool if they gave two sh%ts about Sonic 4. But the care and passion just wasn't there. Not to mention Episode 1 wasn't even supposed to be Sonic 4. It was Sonic the Portable, a cheap mobile game. If it stayed this way, noone would really mind it or care about it.
It is funny how clueless SEGA is with their own mascot. This looks nothing like the other three games they showed in the trailer. Take a hint from your own After Burner Climax game. That is how you do an older series correctly with a new game; not this trash.
Sonic mania and even superstars have basically invalidated this game ..though really even the advance and rush games were always an option for quality 2d sonic tho I stand by ep2 being a solid game
I'll have to admit, these days it's not that bad. Sonic 4 wasn't like SuperStars or anything like that, but for me it was a cool and short game. I would like an EP 3 to finish the franchise once and for all, but the criticism in Sonic 4 did not let this happen
@@IsmailAhmedCommentator point still stands that just sounds like excuses, plus you say that like they DIDN'T show any trailers after the announcement, they did and it still looked like shit.
