Going by its ability to render the classic Sonic the Hedgehog casino-style level – this one’s cleverly named Casino Street Zone – the episodic, old-school style Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is looking like a winner.
Hopefully, the game’s delay has given developers Dimps and Sonic Team to craft a product better than the ho-hum version we played just prior to E3. This new Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I trailer offers the same “late 2010″ release date for the Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, right around the time we’ll be swimming in big game releases.
What do you think? Still psyched for more Sonic?

But hey, it’s the most excited a Sonic game’s gotten me for many years.

Nice music choice, pretty sure it’s from Ocean’s whichever. Hope it’s in the final product.

They’ve finally fixed that running animation (and he actually curls into a proper ball when he jumps!)
The music is sounding pretty old school as well, just need to bring up that synth line

Monday, September 27, 2010 at 1:16 AMit’s ironic isn’t it 10 years of trying to make a sonic game that could capture the speed in 3D they go back to the 2D format and it seems like theve slowed him down(could it be part of a master plan so the next 3D one doesn’t have to be as fast
