why is I called Episode 1 ?? is there coming a episode 2 ?? and after a few episodes the real came on disc ????

They said Sonic4:EpI and EpII are like Sonic3 and S&K... Together those game form a bigger game with one big "storyline", but are still separate games. They never talked about a disk-release though...

Just hate the speed. It's a sonic game, why make him slow?

Speed is the reward for being good at the game. That's what Sonic is supposed to be, or at least was supposed to be until the Sonic Advance series started coming out.

The trouble is that the game carries no momentum, you drop dead in the air if you stop pushing forward.
Like if you hit a top speed using a booster, you can't carry it, you'll eventually drop down to regular running speed.

Honestly I just showed my friend the game on an emulator and we both agreed, physics look terrible.

I think this game is totally cool.

as a life long sonic fan, I'm very disappointed, to me this is just a high def rehash of the first 2 sonic games, they should have just called the first zone green hill zone, it looks amazing though i do admit, but only 4 zones? should have released on disk as a full game.

Work perfectly on my wii Pal 4.2 Cios rev20

KuRensan · Oct 12, 2010

Installed the wad but it say's "this channel cannot be used" maybe because I installed the NTSC version on a PAL wii, Is there a way to fix this ??

EDIT: found a PAL version... downloading and testing right now

BlueStar · Oct 12, 2010

Either make the wad itself region free with something like regionfrii, or install preloader and enable region free channels.

1. Regionfrii if for ISO's
2. My download over limit at MU (NOT anymore)

so I'm going to install Preloader

EDIT: downloading a patch version. EDIT2: Doesn't work

Hielkenator · Oct 12, 2010

This sonic game ( as usual ) SUCKS.

KuRensan · Oct 12, 2010

patch it with Freethewads.... gives a error while installing wad

monkat · Oct 12, 2010

Honestly, I'm having fun. Is it an amazing Sonic throwback? No! It has boost pads for god's sake.

But I am having fun. And that's what matters.

BlueStar · Oct 12, 2010

Ah yeah, even when I was typing that I was thinking "Is regionfrii the iso or wad one"?

The way I got it working on pal was unpatched wad installed with Wad Installed GUI 1.5, preloader with region free channels turned on, and IOS56 installed.

I'm stuck in the 2nd cave level where 4 torches are. You have to light them in a cartain way to make platforms appear, but I don't know how.

EDIT: Nevermind. Figured it out.

So far I like the game. Unlike the recent 2D-Sonic this even has platforming and not only "press-right-mechanics". But the somewhat delayed controls and physics are a really strange design choice...

P.S · Oct 12, 2010

Its like 16 years since Sonic 3 on Genesis.
The gameplay on the older games are so much better.
Disappointed.

i agree, just you wait till you get to the final boss, it's a complete copy and paste job from sonic 2, to the last pixel, this game has been rushed it seems and they can't get any new ideas anymore, such a waste, still it's not a bad game, it's just the fact they couldn't think of anything else to add to the game so they just put parts from sonic 1-3 in sonic 4 and called it a day, i wonder what the devs were thinking when they made this game.

Yuji Naka what would be a good idea for a new sonic 4 game?

Hirokazu Yasuhara oh i know! lets get all the best parts of sonic 1-3 and call it a day!

Yuji Naka great! that should work, sonic fans won't complain and we get our pay at the same time

lets get to work!

i agree with everyone that feels as though sonic is heavy while first moving him. it's just not that good of a game IMO.

Yuji Naka had no involvement of the game.
Infact, he says that this fan made game is 256 times better than Sonic 4.

The game doesn't run on my Japanese Wii.
Is it possible to make a region free file ?

Bladexdsl · Oct 12, 2010

what the fuck was sega thinking with this? sonic sticking to everything or stopping in mid air is outright ludicrous!

Sonic starts off really fucking slow from a standing start.... everytime you take your finger off right the game grinds to a halt and takes about 3 seconds to get going again.

People have been saying the physics are screwed for a while now. So the rumours are true

What I can't understand is how so many sonic fan games (made at no cost) can do what sega cannot?

Look how nice these fan games look: [1] [2]
