    Exclamation Hold the Phone; Balough Clarifies S4E2 Cryptic Clock Rumor Fake

    Quote Originally Posted by TSSZ News
    We said we would check our sources to see if any of the previous information SEGAbits disseminated held up, and it appears some of it does not. TSSZ has now learned through more than one source that this afternoon’s publication concerning Cryptic Clock Zone being the first stage in Sonic 4: Episode 2 is false.

    For corroboration, we are able to cite one news tipster, Jak Saward. He alleges Sonic 4 brand manager Ken Balough contacted him privately upon his inquiry, and stated the information Segabits revealed this afternoon is inaccurate.

    “I just got a PM from Ken on the Sega Forums and it said the first stage is NOT named Cryptic Clock,” says the tip in part. Saward has posted this information elsewhere, including as a comment on the original SEGAbits story. A screen cap of the conversation has been provided to us to verify accuracy.

    We want to be careful with what we’re reporting; this doesn’t necessarily mean Cryptic Clock existing as a stage is false. This may only mean it’s not the first stage.

    Nevertheless, due to corroboration on the matter, we have retracted the previous story citing Segabits’s information. Our team is also working to confirm some more details regarding this game ahead of what may be a reveal next week, if Ken Balough’s hint has anything to say about it. Depending on circumstances, we may retract our coverage of Segabits’s original story from last night as well. We obviously want to get you information as quickly as we can, but at least for our original stories, we also want to make sure we can vouch for its accuracy as much as possible. Stand by for anything more.
    And, for anyone that is wondering, yes, I am Jak Saward, you know, the guy that was mentioned a few times in this post. Also Ken, if your reading this, please post to tell people that the PM thing was true.

    It's true - Stage 1, or any stage for that matter, being called Cryptic Clock is "Grade-A baloney"

    Boy, this news must really tick some people off.
    If you give a good idea to a mediocre team, they will screw it up. If you give a mediocre idea to a brilliant team, they will either fix it or throw it away and come up with something better...If you aren’t experiencing failure, then you are making a far worse mistake: You are being driven by the desire to avoid it. -Ed Catmull,
