Aaron C-T Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Seriously Sega needs some PR help these guys just aren't in touch with their fans. At least not the ones (Us, Retro) they are attempting to target with this game. So.. what you're saying is that using the "you're not the target audience" argument won't work here?

tentril Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 So.. what you're saying is that using the "you're not the target audience" argument won't work here? Joy Thats more Nintendo's game nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joy Yep I don't think it will work. Its not 8-12 year old kids who are going to enter these contest and we can only hope they don't have facebook. No if they were targeting kids we'd have a coloring contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thats more Nintendo's game nowadays. It's SEGA's game, too. SEGA's PR use it EVERY TIME a Sonic game gets panned. Sean Ratcliffe goes to this well very frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flame6753 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 so they're gonna release at 3 am on gamepot. I Pray they don't name it sonic 4. While i absolutely want them to make such a game, if they fuck it up i will never forgive them for messing with the chronology of the original games who have a perfect record with me so far.

Pheonix Gamma Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Note that midnight tonight = Feb. 4th = Sonic FOURSDAY If the game isn't good, there's gonna be some serious Sonic Cycle whiplash. Sega's done everything BUT explicitly state "No really, this isn't going to suck". They're trying so hard to win people back, bless their hearts.

OverbounD Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Eh if it is Sonic 4 where would it fit in canon? After Sonic and Knuckles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Eh if it is Sonic 4 where would it fit in canon? After Sonic and Knuckles? Sonic canon? Sonic canon? Didn't know that was even important, considering Sonic just does whatever the fuck now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tentril Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 And its not like Sonic had a deep underlying story. It was like, "Robotnik fucked shit up. Go beat him up." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 And its not like Sonic had a deep underlying story. It was like, "Robotnik fucked shit up. Go beat him up." Well, at the end of S3&K, it was made to appear that Robotnik died and Egg Robo was going to take over, with him rising up out of the rubble at the end and all.

tentril Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 So now Egg Robo fucks shit up. In synopsis, the story for the original Sonic games was not deep enough to need to worry about canon that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 That's about as canon as Robotnik juggling chaos emeralds at the end of Sonic 1 and 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverbounD Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Knowing Sega it will probably start something like this: Story: Sonic and Shadow were busy sitting under a palm tree cutting themselves one day when suddenly a Motobug from an altered past appears and needs to take them back to the past to save the future from an evil brown hedgehog called Steamer.

OverbounD Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Maybe at the very least we'll get a game that's graphics match the genesis so we can start ripping them for our fan games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 3D Graphics GHZ homing attack New Sonic Look I recall saying something about the 2D portion of Sonic Unleashed with slapped in GHZ graphics looks like I was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowgoten Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Holy crap the trailer is enough to actually give us something to salivate over. The ONLY thing I'm scared of is the "episode 1" tacked on...I've never been a fan of episodic content, but whatever, i'll give it a shot. http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/sonicthehedgehog4episode1/news.html?sid=6249445&mode=previews edit: GS: The subtitle is Episode 1. Does this mean it's episodic content?KB: As mentioned, I think the best way to view it is as a first part in a much larger adventure. When Sega released Sonic 3, ultimately it was the part 1 of a story that saw its conclusion in Sonic & Knuckles. In that same spirit, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is a bigger story, and this is that first chapter. I think it's also safe to say that by the end of the episode one, fans will be very excited to see what's in store for episode two! Is it wrong for me to jump for joy just reading this??

Andrew Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Episodic content fail. Sonic 4 fail. RUN SONIC 5 FANGAMES INCOMING. edit: watched the first 20 seconds. Lol at Sonic 2 beta sprites. Lol at terrible hot-spotting on the Sonic 3 sprite. Excited for Green Hill/Emerald Hill/Angel Island 2 though.
