Sonic the Hedgehog 4 - New Screens, Music on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

SEGA have updated the official website for its upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog downloadable, complete with a bunch of new screens and info.

As well as a look at the opening stage, Splash Hill Zone, and the blue wonder's homing attack, the Sonic the Hedgehog 4 website has finally brought to light the second featured character. As expected it's Dr. Eggman/Robotknick, now hellbent on bringing Sonic down after many failed attempts on the SEGA Mega Drive and Master System.

Looks pretty darn good, though I do wish they would have done a more original looking level.

Thing is with the original Sonic foursome was that all the levels were different - don't want this to be a Sonic 1 clone!

Episode 1 is just a prologue to Sonic 4, so we could be seeing some lovely variety in the future episodes where the adventure really begins.

Sonic alone, GHZ like stage, Sonic 1 like Special Stages, Episode 1 mostly seems like a throwback to Sonic 1.

Well yes - tribute and all, they could have been a little bit more imaginative! Ah well, it does look pretty solid from these screens - hoping they fix up the animation and we'll be good to go!

It's looking nicer, from those new screens. Although, personally, I still don't like that shiny effect over the environment, it makes it look like some of the stage is made from plastic.

After seeing more screens, it does look like Sonic1. But I think this will be due a prologue, maybe we will see some new stages later on in the episodes. Plus I want Tails and Knuckles to be in episode 2. Good that you can listen to the first stage music on the site.

Music's pretty good - must be Jun right? Sounds so much like his stuff midi-fied, especially the main riff and how the section ends to loop into the main bit again.

Yeah Jun's the lead composer.
Sounds like it could be a return to form after the meh-fest that was the Black Knight soundtrack.

I think the grass looks fine. It was never meant to be photo-realistic anyway. And since this is only the first stage, I am guessing that the next stages will be a bit more varied. It always starts off in some sort of grass/jungle level.

Looking good, i like the first level looks like sonic 1 HD, its gonna get me in the right mood, and every 2D sonic game starts with a sunny grassy level anyway, this is expected. Still annoyed with pre-rendered 3d over 2d sprites but whatever, also i hope i can turn off homeing attacks.

Looking good! Im liking the colors! The Hues of blues Smilie

The music is just pretty standard really, nothing special, in my opinion.

Those screens look yummy. Smilie . I'll get it on the PSN. Smilie

I liked they squeezed some water refraction in there.
As if to say "yay, its 99.9% old style, but we can still chuck in the odd nice modern effect"

I really like the music. Smilie

The graphics are looking great also. Can' wait for all the episodes to be released. Smilie

Will this new lock-on addition be a noob move? It was only really necessary in 3D because you couldn't control the bleeder. Does a 2D game really need it?

Add me on anything. I'm always looking for new friends/opponents/town visitors/chances to appear more popular than I actually am.
