Snooky

Not everyone thinks so. In fact, I remember one previewer saying that the homing attack did not deplete any challenge from the game. The word of one previewer isn't enough to make judgments from, especially if they're all saying something different. Megamix isn't even an official Sonic game. That barely counts. I was just pointing out that it's not a given that the HA will give away speed.

I was under the impression that the Hedgehog engine was a general gameplay and graphical engine based on Havok. Still looks pretty, though.

I love you.I like the wisps too, I was just pointing out they kinda fall under the category of a gimmick Not all gimmicks are bad.

I never said he couldn't say it, I just said his complaints were ridiculous. He seems like it from what I read. And like Aaron said, you didn't have to use the spindash at all. It seems more like a staple than an experiment at this point. Why would they just randomly decide to take it out? And since when has it broken any game in half? One move doesn't necessarily mean the game will lose all difficulty. They could make it challenging through clever level design and platforming puzzles. What about in Unleashed? The jump-dash itself only served to give you a bit of extra distance (until you got that air-boost item), and cut your speed pretty low after it was done. The homing attack itself isn't necessarily a problem if they pull it off right.

Probably, but not always. If a feature is there, but you don't have to use it, I don't see the point in complaining. Someone else might like using it, and if you don't, then you don't have to.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll try to do better next time. My problem with Raw is that he complains about stupid shit that has little to no bearing on the gameplay. Don't like the controls? Fine. Don't like the physics ("running physics," at that), alright. I don't see a problem with the physics at all, but alright. But it's just plain stupid to complain about Sonic's rotation when he's jumping. And honestly, I don't care what he says about Sonic Colors. That's not what we're talking about here.And what's wrong with the homing attack? It's been a staple to the Sonic series since 1998. And guess what? You don't have to use it. It's not like Sonic 06, where jumping into the enemy actually hurts you.

You're right, this previewer is the only person who isn't terrified to point out Sonic 4's problems. How will we ever enjoy this game when - GASP - Sonic's rotation during his jumps aren't up to snuff? And of course, the physics for running along tracks doesn't make much sense either - he's right, Sonic runs forward too fast, or something, I guess. Actually, I have no clue what he's talking about here.This game has problems (that don't include the homing attack or most of what RawmeatCowboy listed as problems, really), but this is just some douchy Genesis fanboy who's pissed off because Sonic 4 isn't some crappy 16-bit engine edit of S3K.

Jus' sayin' I'm glad to see they're making use of the Hedgehog engine. I thought this was going to be some mediocre piece of shit at first, but it looks promising. Also, I don't see the problem with other playable characters - it worked in S3K and the Sonic Adventure games

Well, do you have access to the source code? How exactly are you editing the engine?

P3DR0 is my new god.

So, you can't change a constant in your own engine?

I just wanted to do something different with this trailer, instead of just showing off gameplay footage I actually added a texture before recording the footage for that trailer, it's just very bland XP What's wrong with it? It's just the SADX model with the poly count cut down. I can fix all that ;P

I'm not really 'putting them up against' the other Adventure games, as I already explained to someone else, I'm just saying 'this happened in 1998, this happened in 2001, and this is gonna happen in 2011.' If I could make my game look less blocky and dull, I would XP But everyone who's played it pretty much agrees it's good enough to go along with the Adventure series, especially the more recent betas and demos, which are way better than the older ones.

New trailer (in mouthwatering HD!), in which I show off the new animation system (kinda) and announce the release date of the game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WR4URSAipY

Oh xD I would have never noticed something like that.

Well it's nice to know that you've decided I'm not worth talking to at all simply because of my signature. Gee, I feel loved.

I just didn't want it to seem like I'm trying to start an argument

I'm not trying to argue, I just like having deep discussions Of course I know it, but with every generation mankind should learn to rely less and less on it. And to be more precise, it's not instinct that wakes you up; at least, not conscious instinct, which is what I'm referring to. Instinct is nothing more than knowledge you are born with, not academic knowledge, not even knowledge of how things work, but basic knowledge of communication and action. Of course we need instincts, but my point was they shouldn't be our primary factor of motivation in life. Instinct tells us to eat, to sleep, etcetc. Reason and logic tell us what to eat, when to sleep, how to get out of a sticky situation, how to fix things that are broken, etc.Also, you're taking me too seriously about the hate thing.

Because we should evolve (and arguably are evolving) beyond the use of instincts as our primary motivating factor, and instead use logic and reasoning. And because instinct isn't a reason to live in the first place, it's just a small part of life.

Why yall gotta hate? =(

Yeah I don't even know what to make of that post @_@

Ah, I thought he wanted to make Sonic run through the loop Sonic-4-style. I don't really see how the graphics themselves are misaligned @.@

Make a separate collision mask for the loop that doesn't include the indented part. Color the mask solid black as to use minimal memory and set it as the mask in the loop's object properties. Of course, I'm assuming you're using Game Maker here. looks like game maker to me lol

I love you.But there's no point to life. Except the point we make for ourselves. For me, the point of life is to gain as much knowledge as we can before we die. If one dies happy, their life is a success. Also the church should have died off long ago. That's not meaning...that's instinct. I would have hoped we evolved beyond that line of thinking long ago. =(

Someone leaked Sonic Colors' story:
