Now, down to business.
Sonic 4 is the game every sonic fan has been waiting to play for a long time. Forget 3D, we want 2D and we want side-scrolling, and SEGA is finally delivering.
So, you may be thinking, everybody must be pretty happy right? its what you all want....right?
Sadly, the answer to that question is.....no!
All over the internet i have come across many a 'fan' of the original 3 complaining about this game that has few released screens and not much gameplay footage out there.
I'll start with the biggest complaint, that its not fast enough.
This idiotic and downright wrong statement is making its way around internet courtesy of so called fans of the series.
According to these people a true Sonic game should consist of simple level design and the ability to finish it by holding down right on the d-pad. This being the style of Sonic Rush and not 1,2 or 3.
Not only was the main focus point of the original 3 the great look and feel of the levels, but of a mixture of fast AND SLOW paced gameplay.
It's like they've never played the 3 games they proclaim to love so much.
Another complaint is that the art style is wrong, and should look exactly like the first 3 games.
Now to me, visual improvement is expected in a game series so it should come as no surprise that Sonic 4 will look bloody gorgeous!
How any fan of this series can say that Sonic 4 will look horrible is beyond me!
Finally, after scouring forums and comments on news posts on various pages, i can safely determine that the 'fans' pretty much want a remake of the first game.
In fact, as i found out here, that is precisely what a group of these idiots will get upon the release of the first episode of Sonic 4:
"Fans of the sonic series are like most sega fans, we want their old games brought back to the glory days when sega was pretty much the power in video games. Seeing the gameplay of sonic 4 has made many of us realize what we already knew, Sonic 4 will simply not be anywhere near as good as the original sonic games. Either way, We will decide to finally show sega what the fans truly want. A real sonic 4, as long as sonic 4 stays the way it is, we will not buy it, we will in fact buy sonic 1 on release in protest of sonic 4, till we end up with a re tool, or change, we want sonic in hd, not sonic RUSH HD. We will not buy a future sonic game, till we get a true successor to sonic 1/2"
This statement just reeks of stupid, and im sure you can see the many contradictions of it having read this.
Sonic 4 will not be good enough for the majority, its a sad fact, but one we all have to put up with.
For us at 'We Like Games... a lot' and the true fans of the original 3, this game will be nothing short of everything we want from Sonic 4: updated visuals, new level designs and classic gameplay.
But for the supposed 'fans' out there, no matter how close it is to the first 3, there will always be something wrong, something that will get them angry and ultimately make them stop playing it, and after they tell all their 'fan' friends, they will do the same.
Im sorry to say SEGA, Sonic 4 will fail, but its not your fault, it the fault of the people you're making it for.
