A Tall Order of Patience, All Things Considered
Despite nearly the entire game being leaked in video form for the masses to widely digest a month ago, the calls for more official updates on Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I are growing louder. Today, that prompted a Sega community manager to reassure anxious fans that the promotion schedule is not totally on hold.
“All I can say for now – when things kick back up again, the wait will be worth it,” said RubyEclipse this afternoon on the Sega forums, following a note of thanks for those who have been patient.
The comments are best served upon those who deliberately avoided seeing what the fuss was about earlier in the month, and a small number in that category remains. The results of a TSSZ News@Issue poll published Monday indicate seventeen percent of participants didn’t see any of the leaks.
But such words could be haunting, especially if future reveals show anything the leaks haven’t already disclosed. Though direct viewing of the videos in question have largely been scrubbed off the Internet, the knowledge gained from them remains–including the formats and classic callbacks of zones beyond Splash Hill (mine carts and all), the use of Super Sonic, the structure of E.G.G. Station Zone, and the teaser at the end credits.
A Sega forumer did question RubyEclipse if his comment also covered the content of the leaks.
“Time will reveal all things,” he responded vaguely.













Forgive my spelling errors above I might have missed some.
One last thing. When I clicked on the article I thought, in my own opinion, that this would be a slow day in terms of reviews. However, upon seeing the amount of reviews present I find that they are 49 in total. Evidently it would appear that they (the reviews) aren’t about Sonic necessarily, but of the determination to prove others wrong at their own expense. The Sonic Fandom maybe one of the worst in video game history, though not for the games,however large the part they play in it, but the workings of individuals desperate to get their opinions out their and on more then one occasion crush others as well. Though it is just an “opinion” right?
@ Sonic Unleashed (SU)
So you think that Sonic has more potential than every game ever?
@ Sonic Unleashed (SU)
Seriously man the fact that you said you like every sonic game means that you are very ignorant. Not every single thing related to something is good. That would be like saying that Avenged Sevenfold is one of my favorite bands because the drummer for Dream Theater is in the band now.
Also glitches are only noticable because you are not looking for them. I have more difficulty playing Sonic Unleashed than 06 because the glitches are less noticable. I have never found one glitch in the games Edge was speaking about.
Wow, did he seriously just say Sonic has more potential than even Mario lol? Troll in the dungeon.
Geeze guys! They are only opinions! Get over it!
wait… I’m talking to the WRONG fandom >>
Silly fandom sure is silly.
Oh, hi, Danielle (?).
Im my god Sonic Unleashed (user) things Sonic is the best serires ever!! He must be trolling beacuse he things something hes a fan of is the greatest thing ever!!!
Yeah, NICE logic there fanboys. -_-
>fanboys
Do you people even proof read before you submit? Or do you just type things up on a whim and leave it at that?
Haha I feel sorry for the people that only focus on flaws. They can’t even enjoy their video games like they did when they were a kid!
Haha I’m going to play Sonic Unleashed now, an amazing game. It should keep me occupied among all my other non-Sonic games until Sonic 4 comes out. (Which I’m sure I’ll probably enjoy).
Ah, it feels good to be positive.

You should just go ahead and unironically defend Sonic06, you don’t have to be afraid about it and bring up Unleashed instead.
I enjoy good polished games thank you very much,you can only blame Sega for throwing some nostalgia paint on a lost Sonic Advance sequel and expecting people to truly expect it as the sequel to Sonic 1-3.
:“There is only one way in the world to be distinguished: Follow your instinct! Be yourself, and you’ll be somebody. Be one more blind follower of the blind; and you will have the oblivion you desire.”:
This argument prompted me to finally return to Sonic Unleashed. Only complaint I have about it is that most of the optional levels are obscenely difficult…and the lives counter is retardedly outdated and needs to be retired. Seriously. But it’s a good game overall. Not AMAZING, but then IMO, no Sonic game ever was (spoken like someone who grew up with Nintendo, which I did). It’s certainly better than the last few Sonic games before it, though.
Now, I say the series was never AMAZING to me…I do still think that the 2D style suits Sonic better, and I’m looking forward to Sonic 4. Also, Rush is one of my favorite games in the series. Probably not too popular an opinion here, but I don’t care.
For the last time.. LIKING A GAME YOU DONT, DOES NOT EQUAL BLIND! Oh and mabey pIay the game instead of forming baseless opinions on leaks
@stuffgamer1 rush wasnt a game it was like watching a playthrough of the game it was all boost boost boost now from the modern 2D sonic games only one is quite decent and that is Sonic Advance 1
>Not AMAZING, but then IMO, no Sonic game ever was
I beg to differ
@anonymous thats not true sonic 1,2,CD & 3&K were AMAZING
I still wish that SEGA makes a Sonic Unleashed 2 game type
and maybe lauch a retail version of Sonic 4 complete episods
@DAMN: That could well be what I like about it; it’s nowhere NEAR as hard as most Sonic games. I have nothing against hard games if they’re well balanced, but IMO, the Sonic series just isn’t. How many years did it take them to drop the “one hit and you lose ALL your rings” thing? Running into unmissable enemies and pits is also all too common…
@Anonymous: You’re quite welcome to. I don’t expect that opinion to be widely agreed upon on a site with Sonic in the NAME. But as I said, I was a Nintendo kid. When you grow up with Mario, it’s really hard to deal with the differences between that and Sonic. Compare any Genesis Sonic game to Super Mario World, and the feature set is VASTLY different! Skills from one simply do not carry over to the other.
yay
2 month ta go!
Holyfuck ppl its a game of freakin sonic! the fact that u all are having political arguments over a game about a blue hedgehog who can run fast is just plain daft. If u guys dont like the game then dont buy it but stop fuckin spoiling it for people who do want to play it.
