Sonic 4 Episode 2 is out.. Sonic 4 needs to die already.

[FamicomRetroGamer]

I don't hate Sonic, but God dammit, Sonic 4 is atrocious, while it has really nice graphics to look at and music the gameplay is just too slow, and to be honest, it doesn't feel like the real Sonic which is fast as hell or jump to things without pressing a button.

Dimps, the company that developed the best Dragon Ball Z games for PS2, PS3 and Xbox 360 has made two really horrible games, and they're called Sonic 4.

Though, if the physics were alike Sonic Generation I would've totally loved it, but it wasn't.

jump to things without pressing a button.

What?

[FamicomRetroGamer]

On Sonic 4 you jump and then you press A (Xbox 360), X (PS3) or whatever to aim at it and hit it dead on.

'cos on the other Sonic's as I remember I'd control my Sonic and then move him manually to smash the item.

I haven't played the newest one, but the first one was a lot of fun. It felt like Sonic 1 to me, which was pretty damn slow.

In Sonic 4 you can just walk up and make it to the destination, I don't remember this happening on Sonic 1, I'd get stopped because of the really low speed.

Looks fast enough to me from youtube videos.  My only complaint is sonics animation looks really retarded.  I like how they kept the retro sfx and snare drum sound from the sega genesis.  It's obviously just riding on the nostalgia wave but I don't mind that I think a newer generation should experience stuff like this.  The stages really look like a lot of fun and bring back that classic sonic gameplay that people really fell in love with 20 years ago.  Seriously though streets of rage remake needs to be ported to consoles everywhere in a similar fashion.

That's so silly, you're judging Sonic 4 off of YouTube videos. lol

There was a demo last time round, I found it extremely clunky to play and not all like what made the old games good.  
I even bought it on iPhone, bad decision there.

[petik1]

I've played it. It's a good game.

Just to add to this thread, Sonic 4 is 'dead' already, they canned the third episode pre-emptively.

I'm judging the visuals and music and how the gameplay looks from them.  Is that really such a terrible thing?  Is there some sort of issues with the controls that I'm not aware of?

Sonic 4 doesn't move anywhere near as fast as the other Sonics did or be rapid, Sonic 4 relies too much on button aiming.

It looks to me like it's moving as fast as older sonics, weird.

That's entirely false what you've just said.

But well, you really need to play the game before making such judgements about this game.

I need to play it to see how quickly sonic moves?  What does youtube somehow make things appear to move faster?
