Will Also be Largest 2D Sonic Offering
Here’s an E3 holdover that, depending on how specific your tastes are, should satisfy you.
In the video below published by Irate Gamer, Sega’s Ken Balough is back touting Sonic the Hedgehog 4. There’s two tidbits he drops; first, he speaks about changes to Sonic’s running animation, which many fans felt was awkward, judging from both official and leaked video. It should be welcome news to fans among us with the most discriminating taste.
The second tidbit is word from Balough that Sonic 4 will be the largest 2D offering in the franchise. We’re not sure if that takes lock-on into consideration. Together, Sonic 3 and Knuckles offer 11 levels with 2 acts a piece, plus Hidden Palace, Sky Sanctuary, and the Doomsday Zone–for a total of 25 zones in the single player campaign. Separate, the winner is Sonic 2, with 11 levels and a total of 20 zones.
The video is available below. We’ll continue to give you developments on Sonic 4 here at TSSZ News. Thanks to DAMN–yes, that’s his handle–for sending this in. If you have news to share, be sure to share it with us by clicking News Tips at the top of every page.

I’m not a coward.
Well maybe you do it unconsciously.
Trying to reason with you is like trying to order a pizza at McDonald’s.
Or like if an autistic 5 years old was trying to argue with Einstein (with me being Einstein in the analogy, obviously).
Sure
there are flaws but that dosent stop one from enjoying a game.
Well I’m sure you enjoyed Superman 64 and Big Rigs then.
The general public dosent fucking care about Sonic’s model, or any other of the trivial bullshit that true Sonic fans care about.
I fixed that for ya, and yes, the problem is that this game is made for “the general public” and not for true Sonic fans (which means people who really care about the quality and consistency of the series). And if it was made for true Sonic fans, the general public would still like it, so everyone would win. So it should really be made for the hardcore classic fans in mind, because then it would get stellar scores and everyone would be happy.
Oh and +1 for petty insults
It’s not really an insult if it’s true.
Or like if an autistic 5 years old was trying to argue with Einstein (with me being Einstein in the analogy, obviously).
Yeah, call me and other people who like the game so far what you want, and hurl insults at me, but I’m going to tell you something: I WON’T GIVE A DAMN.
Bye, and have fun ruining the topic.

Ok.

You guys are the ones who ruined it by disrespecting my opinion and trying to force yours down my throat like some kind of dictators.

This just makes me LOL. <3
There is such a thing as a game being ok or decent. But with you its either really awesome or really terrible. NO MIDDLE GROUND!
And quit making fans feel like crap just for liking games you dont. Its sickening.
And stop with the insults, its pretty trollish.
Don’t bother, crysore.
Just leave.

If S4 is anything above mediocre, you have the classic fans to thank for that. And if all of you had complained like you should’ve, then it’s an awesome game we’d have, not a mediocre or a decent one.
But with you its either really awesome or really terrible. NO MIDDLE GROUND!
No, there can be, it’s just that in this case, it’s not.
And quit making fans feel like crap just for liking games you dont. Its sickening.
Maybe you should quit making fans feel like crap just for not liking games you do. It’s sickening.
And stop with the insults, its pretty trollish.
Stop acting like you guys haven’t done the same thing, “elitist”, “purist” and that kinda shit is just as bad. Actually it’s worse, since it’s not true.
Your comparing yourself to Eienstien, thats pretty elitist.
And when l “insult” you its merely on your stance as a “True Sonic Fan”.
You insult people personally, calling them fat or autistic.
And the reverse phscology dosent work.

No, I’m making an analogous situation, in no way am I putting myself on the same level as Einstein.
And when l “insult” you its merely on your stance as a “True Sonic Fan”.
Ok, well when I “insult” you it’s merely on your opinion on those fail Sonic games.
One isn’t better than the other.
You insult people personally, calling them fat or autistic.
You insult people personally, calling them elitist or purist.
The different is that DarkQiviut actually IS fat, and I never called anyone literally autistic, it was part of the same analogy as the Einstein one.
And the reverse phscology dosent work.
Only because you’re not smart enough to understand it.
Before continue, a question. Have you ever “lost” an argument?
Also, calling someone fat is still an insult regardless.
Before continue, a question. Have you ever “lost” an argument?
Yes, just not against dumb people who think “that’s just your opinion” is a relevant argument to make.
It actually happens often, when people can point out why I’m wrong, I accept it and am grateful to them for pointing it out so that I’m not wrong anymore.
Too bad you guys can’t do the same.
Also, calling someone fat is still an insult regardless.
And calling someone elitist is still an insult regardless.
”Your comparing yourself to Eienstien, thats pretty elitist. ”
So in other words you don’t even understand simple analogy .Either that or you pretend not to understand it in order to attack your opponent.
Im just sick of all the classic fans accusing us of being blind fandboys just for liking this game (and the modern games in general). I do have issues with this game
-Rehashed Bosses
-The HA
-The Uncurling
- Piss easy boses
However, im not going to paint a negative picture that will ruin any enjoyment l will have before/whilst playing it. If the flaws are there I will acknowledge them, but I wont harp on them.
This new development just shows that Sega really does want this game to be good.
The “other fans” are telling us to “stop nitpicking & bitching about small things” I don’t find that any better.
Why having a only half way good cake if it could have been so much better.

This.This.THIS! i dont know why sega isnt risking it with sonic 4 and hiring some professional developer(unlike dimps) to develop the game in retail i would even wait 2 or 3 years more if that was the case just to get a PROPER SONIC 4
@Crysore HELLO! If sega really wanted to be good it would of made sonic 4 retail,wouldnt hire shit developers like Dimps(they would hire some preofessional developers who would study the classic formula first not just try emulating sonic advance 2),they would of put the development time like 3 years in process(like nintendo does with any of their games) and trust me iif they’d do all this we would of have a BRILLIANT sonic game and a successor to Sonic 3 & Knuckles now if you call this illogical you’re dumb(oh and read it carefully again if you havent understand my post)

It always helps when people at least admit the game has real problems… especially if they do it early on. Seriously, if you agree with the opposition about some flaws, why not get in a word edgewise somewhere in your paragraphs of meaningless shit speakijng? I mean, since so many of you guys seem to be so concerned with love and peace you’d think you’d spare a moment from calling people immature and whatnot to mention that you actually agree with them on some points.
@Crysore and nobody is calling you a fanboy im calling guys like Vulpine,Sonicnation etc Sega Fanboys i mean Vulpine is constantly trying to stuff these games down our throats and saying “try to accept changes” and stuff im tired of him and don’t get me started on Dark Qivuit man he’s a diehard sega fanboy and im not saying sonic 4 fails as a 2D sonic game im saying it fails as a “2D Classic Sonic Game” i mean it doesnt have classic physics,it has uncurling,it has lots of rehashes(i would of been fine with just splash hill being a rehash but noo they had to rehash 4 zones) i mean imagine how Mad Gear would look in sonic CD and here in sonic 4 it’s a metropolis rehash,piss easy bosses(like you mentioned),to much automation trust me when i say sonic 4 isnt in good hands with dimps but oh well god hates me and wants to make me suffer constantly so dimps is developing this game and they’re probably gonna ruin it and fanboys like Vulpine will classify it as an awesome game when it will be not(if it wont be)
You know, I can kind of see what they are trying to do.
If they replace the “cool” Sonic with the classic Sonic potential buyers could go lost, (you know little kiddies) not to mention that they had to design new models which would cost time and money. (But hey, just take as excuse to old fans that it’s called natural character evolution if somone gets floppy spikes starts getting green eyes and hell of a long legs.) Old levels that were popular back then could impress those kiddies and nostalgia suckers and also on this point they saved money again. The homing attack to take any effort from them so that nothing gets too frustrating for them so that they will buy the full version and later episodes which will get them money, and god help Sega if they don’t get money.
MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY!
@JohnSeed no you the kiddies wouldnt even know this game exist cuz its DLC and even if they did they would buy it regardless and its not like they cant put classic sonic as an option nuff said
The XBox Dash Board will probably provide them with the news that it’s released and there are many who have an XBox 360 + Gold Membership you know.
@JohnSeed still they would buy it regardless or atleast give us classic fans classic sonic as an option
@JohnSeed and just because sega is fucking up with sonic 4 big time i hope someday the go bankrupt im tired of their pieces of shit
[I} just because sega is fucking up with sonic 4 big time i hope someday the go bankrupt im tired of their pieces of shit[/I]
Seriously, DAMN, it’s just a videogame. Don’t knock it ’till you’ve tried it, or even better, if you don’t like the game overall, just don’t buy it.
@G-MAN stop trying to rub the “its just a game” excuse on me fanboy.
this is sonic 4 this happens to be the suqeul to my favorite games ever i want this to be good not this bad
@ DAMN and voiceofreason
I’m not going to sound like a complete SEGA fanboy but I want to say that you guys need to understand that SEGA can fufill ALL your wishes. Think that sonic ( whether you argue or not) is in fact a teenage/childrens franchise. I love the classics as much as the next guy but remember, when u first played sonic as a kid. Sega gets more sales from kids wanting the game than us older fans. Plus most of the teenagers playing sonic now probably had their first sonic game as SA1 or 2. They LIKE that design. They would probably complain if it was changed. As much as I want to see sonic as he used to be. I dont think it ever will be. and perhaps it is better off that way. Every game has it issues even mario’s. Games like sonic 06 had too many issues to be fun. But games like unleashed and black knight had issues but they were still very fun. Come on!!!! Don’t tell me there wasn’t a single point of unleashed when you smiled and had some fun.
@the guy above me FUCK YOU! GO TO HELL! STOP WITH THE SAME OLD EXCUSES THEY CAN SPLIT THE FRANCHISE YOU KNOW THE CLASSIC ERA(FOR OLD FANS) AND THE NEW ERA(FOR NEW FANS)
w00t! This article bring the new record on TSSZNews history! The longest comment posts ever!!!
Thanks to the corrupted Sonic fandom lol.
@DAmn I’m a Sonic FAN, not fanboy. And yes, Sonic 4, if you just get down to it, IS JUST A F**KING VIDEOGAME. If you’re that obsessesd with Sonic 4′s direction, then you’re a hyprocrite, calling me a fanboy. >_>
I just love how this is over one, specific videogame that the Sonic fans are insulting each other about because one person’s opinions and thoughts (about the game, this including how they wanted the game to be) contradicts to their own. But that’s one of the reasons the internet exists andis used for, ya know. LOL
