BL;DR Posts: 3,493 Group: Elite Member #80 Joined: September 7, 2010	Ruris Feb 4 2012, 04:04 AM Though I don't really take Yahtzee's reviews seriously, he brings up a good point: Why is there a Sonic Next Gen level in the game, given that nobody liked the game and that it literally wrote itself out of the continuity at the end? How did the Time Eater even absorb an event that never happened storyline-wise, and why did they decide to make it the hardest goddamn level in the game for Classic Sonic (I'm not even going to try with Modern Sonic until I get a controller). I think I died more on Crisis City than I had on every single level up to that point combined, plus Rooftop Run (I've yet to play Planet Wisp) Because blowing out Iblis didn't destroy the timeline outright so much as create an alternate one in which it was never a threat. Knowing Eggman, he probably cherry-picked all of the timelines in which Sonic wasn't a threat, but fucked it all up short of removing the Green Hill Sonics from the picture entirely. That's what I deduce from a logical canon standpoint, anyway. As for why it's there, well, they still needed a reason to put Silver into the game and I don't think many people would've recognised a Sonic Rivals level at all (seriously, even among Sonic fans it's a fairly obscure game). The only way they could've avoided it is with a different rival fight for the modern era, and, umm... short of silly spinoff games, have there even been any other character VS fights lately? Hell, until Generations we considered ourselves lucky if we even saw anyone other than Tails again. I'd also like to blow everyone's fucking mind right now by stating that I actually enjoyed '06 and even replay it every now and then when release periods run dry. Don't worry about staining the walls with brain matter when your head explodes - I'll find it entertaining all the same. On another note, Sonic 4 has been drip-feeding PR again just like they did last episode, in the form of leaking concept art every Friday. Spoiler'd for those who'd rather not know everything about the fucking episode long before release. Spoiler: click to toggle I can say at least that it's good to see they're not just adding extra lines to the original designs from Genny games in some vain attempt to look up to date, but it's still kinda hard to shake the feeling they look functionally identical to several Badniks from back then anyway. See, this is why it pays to release a fucking gameplay trailer instead, because if they've actually done anything new with it that would throw any reasonable doubt right out the goddamned window.

Other than that, I think it's an enjoyable game.

GALACTUS Posts: 1,659 Group: Elite Member #63 Joined: November 9, 2009	>Seal enemy for Episode 2 Good god, for a moment there I thought that was the Mecha Seal from Sonic 2. The one you could only damage when it inflated its nose, and it tossed you around afterward while jumping like an automated pogo stick.

Fabulous Homosexual Posts: 6,262 Group: Elite Member #59 Joined: November 9, 2009	Found some concept art for a--le gasp--original boss for S4E2? Anyone else getting Audrey II vibes when they look at that second image?

The Darkness Posts: 1,205 Group: Elite Member #41 Joined: July 12, 2008	I'm getting vague Oil Ocean-like vibes off that boss. Like, it's no submarine, but the one right above the colored image almost looks like it could be an oil platform; the "tail" coming off of it reminds me of the laser gun that would come out between periods of boss vulnerability. ...but maybe I'm just looking into something that isn't there lol.

GALACTUS Posts: 1,659 Group: Elite Member #63 Joined: November 9, 2009	Okay, late but I have the excuse of freaking out about the possibility of certain enemy designs looking like certain Sonic 2 (Game Gear) bosses. I just noticed that the boar badnik also resembles a boss from that game, and hope wholeheartedly that you get rings when that sucker shows up if it's anything like its predecessor.
