Bits of New Information Inside
Today, a double shot of new previews for Sonic 4 was released from the UK’s Official XBOX Magazine and GamesMaster.
In terms of new information, there isn’t a whole lot to digest. OXM UK does offer one new nugget: the soundtrack will run in similar vein to Sonic 3 and Knuckles, with each act having a small variation on the primary theme. The article also contains new screenshots. GamesMaster, on the other hand, appeared to regurgitate almost everything already known–not even offering up a screen grab, old or new, from the game.

Who is your source on this? SSMB?
I was hoping for the S3K style music variations. Don’t particularly like instrumentation in one, but it has good melody? Slap the other one on your iPod =]
I’m curious to see if the sound effects will be from the classic or nextgen era. (i.e. the spring sound makes a ricochet in the current games) I really really hope they bring back the SonicCD drown warning for Lost Labyrinth

The sound effects seem to be ripped from classic games, if the leaked footage is anything to go by.

Those could be temporary placeholders though. I’ve played a lot of beta’s where the dialog/sound effects are placeholders pulled from older games in the series.
As is, I’d like the retro sounds.

But,I really sad Jun Sanoue compose music for sonic4.
He is not good with pholifonic style and music background.
Yuzo Koshiro best on pholofonic.
Jun Sanoue is good for main guitar instruments only.
