Update's on the horizon, gentlemen....what are your realistic predictions on what the announced changes will be?

I'm curious as to what constitutes as "big changes" and little to you. I see "big" as

- they went and redid every single level, took out 80% of the boosters and enemy bridges

...while minor changes would be

- Sonic's top-speed-animation being improved and physics.

So I see. I haven't exactly been active on these forums for awhile for obvious reasons.

I can't really predict anything, because no one can really be sure, but the two things that could be fixed, is the uncurling and the momentum loss thing in the air, when you jump, and let go of the pad. Other than that, there really nothing else I can add, since I don't care to much about the other stuff.

More momentum, though the momentum might break the game. The levels are built around the floaty physics which are built to fit the homing attack.

So does this mean that even before the delay you were reasonably OK with the build?

Basically, yes. I admit there were more problems, but I didn't see much of it as a big deal.

We have more in common than I thought.

Indeed. I just don't, and never have, seen the point in making big waves over some of these issues. If you look at my thread, which is on the lower part of this page, you'll see where I state that I'm not looking at sonic 4 to be a classic game, but to be a new game in itself, and EP1 misses the mark on that, but I hope for more to come in EP2.

To me, Sonic 4 is Sonic 4, and I will wait until the entirety of the episodes are fully released, patched, etc etc to either decide it's the best freaking thing I imagined or not.

Up until then, I will review each episode on their own merits.

That's what I plan on doing to. If anything, I don't even want a complete regression of this series, since I've beaten the classic games to bejesus and back, so yeah, I'm judging it based on the game itself, not what fits or what isn't classic.

Please tell me you have a PSN handle or Gamertag. I am getting a PS3 soon and already own an Xbox 360. You sound pretty chill and like someone I could hang with, even if it's through the airwaves of a mic connected through the online services of either console.

Also, I would love to have someone to compete against when Episode 1 releases as far as the leaderboards go.

Thanks, but I have neither. No connection at home, at all. This isn't even my PC. If I ever do get a connection, you'll know about it, since I'll be telling you I played sonic 4. :cool:

....then how the heck do you plan on even buying Episode 1 then, I must ask?

[RinRam]

I predict we may actually have a little surprise this time :) something not expected and will be a good thing :)

Really? :smile: Let me know when you get one.

So you have a PSN handle then?

Edit: I just saw your signature and answered my own question. X___X

[BaronGrackle]

Did anyone predict a longer period for the pinch/rage mode in boss fights? That's one that would be both simple and satisfying!

Perhaps.

If anything I expect it to kick in faster and not leave Eggman vulnerable to attacks.

Sonic Advance 3's pinch mode kicked in a lot sooner. Kinda half-way through.

And Sonic Rush's pinch kicked in gradually (the Scarab Boss particularly).

[GreenHills4Ever]

-Better Spinny feet
-Removed 80% of the ziplines
-Sonic 4 will be implemented into the game

I completely forgot the Advance games had those....shows how well my memory is.
