New Video: First Official Sonic 4 Trailer

Before it’s on GameSpot, Watch it Here First @ TSSZ
It happened again–someone at Sega let something loose a little bit early.
It appears the German division has made available the first official gameplay trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I…the same one we believe will be unveiled officially in just a couple hours on GameSpot’s On the Spot program.
Someone caught wind of it, and now, we have it for your review below. For those who have seen the leaks, it may be old hat. For those who’ve stayed away, it will be your first official reveal of the game…even if it’s technically not official yet. (UPDATE: Only after we published our story did Sega’s domestic divisions make it official–posting the video on both their YouTube and Facebook pages. We are now relaying the video from their feed.)
Have a look at the new video below. Ryan Bloom will cover RubyEclipse‘s appearance On the Spot beginning at 7PM ET tonight, not too long from now. I’ll be back with a wrap-up of community reaction later on.

What a waste of time!!!, The only “new thing” was the Applestore LOGO, craaap!
I´m lossing my faith on this Saga
looking forward to the game and looking forward to see the Gamespot news
This video isn’t stopping me from listening news from RubyEclipse himself.
Godammit im getting REAL fucking sick of Splash Hill Zone
…holy crap, that was rather spiffy/ Now, since I’ve never seen any of the leaks, I shall nitpick the ever-loving crap out of this trailer.
Visuals are clean and crisp, along with the vibrant sound quality. Sonic’s full-on running animation looks alright to me (apart from Sonic’s “torso” not really moving), yet Robotnik’s model seems off to me, seeing how glamorous it was in Sonic Unleashed. Homing Attack looks decent, though that chain shown leaves me with a bit of worry. The only thing that really bothers me thus far is the trail of smoke Sonic leaves behind whilst running.
Visual impressions: so far, so good.
[...] TSSZ News has also learned Sega will be releasing its first official trailer tonight, first on Gamespot’s On the Spot program. We can only conclude SOA community manager RubyEclipse is making the appearance on the program for this reason. The trailer is ready to go–in fact, it briefly appeared in an embed on the Sonic Stadium minutes ago (though unviewable, as it was made private), only to be quickly removed. (Thankfully, we caught wind of it. [...]
I forgot to add that those are small nitpicks and won’t have any effect on me whilst playing the game.
Ruby exaggerates yet again.
I wish I could make a comment on that new poll. I voted “no” because I don’t think they should release each individual episode on disc, I think that after the whole thing is complete and out then they should release all three episodes on disc.
As far as the video goes, ‘meh… official gameplay, but nothing much new.
They are going to polish it and release it later this year.. Sega’s is doing good this time
Look at all those quick cuts in the trailer, someone is scared mwahaha
Meh Nothing new afterall
Sega has posted the video on Facebook
[...] TSSZ News points out that someone at SEGA let a Sonic 4 gameplay trailer slip a bit too early. Supposedly, this trailer is supposed to be on tonight’s Gamespot coverage. [...]
Wow, for once Crysore seems to be irritated at something about this game… Just when I’m startling to like the game! How amusing…
@Edge
Amusing ideed, but im not hating on he game itself, im hating on the fact that they showed us nothing but this zone, its getting really tiring.
Still its great that there delyaing this game, perhps the haters (some of them) will shut up now
Lol@Camp Sonic’s article.
That black background and lensflare are so overdone, those 3D models look horrible out of the game.
@ crysore
Oh I know, I just thought it was funny seeing you get irritated at something related to this game that *wasn’t* whining fans.
Well as far as I’m concerned I will shut up about the game now, it does look much better (especially on my eyes, I can actually stand looking at the game), and according to me and a few other fans on TSS Sonic’s model looks a tad bit more like the original Sonic (Shorter body and spines)
What the ?
“Yes ladies and gentlemens, Sonic 4 is delayed. Thanks to your reactions and comments, we know that our game suck so we have decided to delayed it before being headshoted one by one.
We’re truly happy ’cause if we haven’t seen the press and fans reactions, I think we’ll have released the game in time which will probably be one of the top 10 error in SEGA’s life so once again, thanks”.
Basicaly, with the iPod thing, this is what I’ve read.
@ fox gungrave
That’s about right.
My brain had an orgasm …
“Omigosh! It was the answer to all my prayers!”
SEGA, you gotta learn what is a big deal, and what isn’t. While it’s nice to see clean game play, it wasn’t nearly the great unveil you made it out to be.
Well it looks like they fixed the gravity, speed and running animations.
Thanks Dimps. Keep on rockin’.
I dunno about you guys but I noticed that the rings kinda go inside the loops and so does sonics body.
[...] brief interview concluded with a look at the new Sonic the Hedgehog 4 trailer we saw a few hours ago – though they are careful to point out that the changes they’re making to the physics [...]
Sometimes i wonder about SEGA that makes me think they like sonic anymore. DX
@xamoel :
Go get a life and some balls!
Well I’m officially excited. The game looks amazing and should be pleasing to new and old fans.
And they’ll save money on voice actors. -slapped!-
Yeah, it looks really good, but I REALLY don’t wanna wait until the fall to play this. I was hoping it would come out in July, like the plan was originally but now I have to wait until my 19th birthday? Lame.
