Sonic. Is. BACK!

First and foremost. Ahem.*Insert girly scream here*

Now that that's out of the way (BTW, I guess 99% of us must've seen this by now, and if this has been posted somewhere b4, I'm sorry, tho at the time of posting I did search it beforehand and found nothing on it): after 15 years of prayer, SEGA has apperently mended its ways, for Sonic 4 is here, and, apperently, it WILL kick some serious ass:

Thats interesting but....... you have to download it?

Indeed, it will be episodic in nature, and download-only so far. But I wouldn't worry much about that, they'll problably pack all of the episodes up and release them as a single disc once they are all out.

anyone besides me found his 3D movements worse than the old sprite ones?and nothing will beat the advanced serious or the unleashed D:

This is both good and bad to me.
pros:
-classic sonic gameplay
-Sonic-only playable character
-no new characters
-True sequel to S3&K
-2.5D & HDCons:
-Episodic game(probably 2 zone per episode at $10 a piece
-game is a download (why? why not a full retail?)
-need work on sprites/animation/graphic (e.g. sonic's walk)
-homing dash(really? this is not necessary? re-add the Shield not this)-

His walking/running animation needs to be thrown out the window and be completely redone.

His "actual" walking animation is not really clear; there's about 2 seconds of actual gameplay shown, the rest (when he jumps @ some rings and stuff) seems to be some CGI render, there's no guarantee that's the ingame walking animation.

Nice ;D
I agree with the running animations though, doesn't really shows Sonic as a fast creature.
They should make a better one.

I wish they kept everything 2D as in sprites, just redone HD. From the two seconds of whatever they showed from the new one, it looks repulsive.

Replying to #9

Seeing as this is SEGA we're talking about, I don't think they're willing to waste more money then necessary on this (making a main entry in the series episodic and DLC only shows how far the series has sunk), and I wouldn't want them to pull a King of Fighters XII here anyway: they have higher chances of not failing (or not failing too hard) with a 2.5D style IMO. In fact, I think I'm so frickin' happy that it won't include atrocities like the werehog levels in Sonic Unleashed or the any-other-character-that-is-not-a-hedgehog leves in Adventure 2 that I'm willing to have anything they throw at me.

Hrm, wii ware...I may consider a purchase.

It feels like Sonic Rush for the Wii.
