Dimps wants to have a word with you... they're waiting for you in that ally over there with the entire cast of the rumble fish and they aren't happy
Never understood why they made a TV series.. That's when you know its going wrong.. When you sign to have a TV series made..
Not to sound like an anime freak but the Japanese Sonic X animation wasn't all that bad. Now, that crap that we English speakers got was awful.
:noooo: Dimps suck, I hope they don't have anything to do with Sonic 4, because I'm so sick of them doing every 2D Sonic when they have no idea how to design levels. Bottomless pits and spikes everywhere, yayyyy!
New footage leaked: http://www.tssznews.com/2010/02/16/bulletin-alpha-build-of-sonic-4-leaks/ I'm guessing this is up on PartnerNet now? (The trailer for the announcement was added to the MarketPlace today as well).
I don't have much hope about it, its not a super prod. Looks like they just tried to slap an old sonic into an unadapted "cheap" 3d engine. Take a look at the physics... take a look how sonic animate? Is that physics made for sonic? No way! Is that fixable until the release date? I doubt because as it looks nobody coded physics, I would bet nobody has the skill to improve it. Even the game logo smell "internship-quality". Lets not forget the original sonic graphic design was somewhat fantastic / made by guys who knew what good design was. Another fun detail... is the hand of sonic at the titlescreen... It moves in a completely lame way (in a disturbing attempt to match the original, again). Clearly an attempt to suck a bit more of money, a "nice" game for the fans. That's not a rent, its just a reality check and I guess those kind of attempts, who smell more marketing than design, just deserves boycott
The animation indeed looks terrible, but I'm not sure the physics itself looks so bad. It's hard to tell because the player is so incompetent.
The leaked footage is abysmal. It looks as generic as a sonic level as you can get. The graphics don't look any better then the gba Sonic Advance, except they're in 1080p. This is a really weak retread. Even the TMNT redo had nicer character models then the original. I'm glad Sega decided to go with 2D sonic again, but they put nothing into it to make it special. Someone really needs to wake up at Sega that quick development times and no effort equals bad games.
In the footage only 4 zones appear... can anyone confirm this? If this episode 1 only has 4 then.... what a crap... even the original titles on arcade would be longer than this lol
I didn't know they co-developed SFIV, so I'm gonna retract my statement about them sucking. However, their 2D platformer levels still suck :110:
If they could just sort out the physics (make it real old school) and also have sonic run just like in the loading screen, we might be onto a winner.
We still have a few months before it's out. I'm very optimistic now that Dimps is behind it. Sonic Rush Adventure may have been EH but the first Rush was awesome
