Sonic Team... is This for Serious?
I... I think I love Sonic Team again. And it may be a mutual relationship.
Sonic. The Hedgehog. 4. As in, a direct sequel to Sonic 3 [& Knuckles]. Jordan just told me today about it, as I told him about my lack of faith in the Pokémon fandom, and he returned the favour with a similiar opinion on the Sonic fandom.
Don't get me wrong. My sudden excitement for this game [and I'm actually kind of surprised I'm so excited; child-like wonderment and all that!] doesn't all of a sudden make me forgot that I actually really liked Sonic Unleashed [atleast the XBox 360/PS3 one. I couldn't... play the Wii one] and the DS Sonic Rush series, so it's not that I don't believe a good Sonic game can be made again. But I guess that it's the concept of, not trying to write in a blockbuster script, introduce 30 new characters whom are all disliked, with 15 of those disliked characters returning in the future while the other 15 go forgotten, and a general slowdown of Sonic himself [as they say, Keep it Simple, Stupid]. My exhaggerations make valid points!
I remember being excited about the concept of Megaman 9, using the old sprites and gameplay style to make games easier to make, and hoping that other companies would use the same idea to make sequels to old series of games as well. Well, they didn't quite do that, because it's still super graphically awesome [Sonic 4, I mean], although his running animation is awkward. But it's still coming out on the virtual downloading system of... well, the respective consoles virtual stores [Wiiware, XBox Live Arcade, Playstation Network], and apparently, by rumour, it may be coming out for the iPhone [Does that also include the iPod Touch?] and I think that is fantastically cool.
It's coming out in episodes, which leaves a somewhat bitter taste after all that goosebump-feeling goodness, but I'm not saying it as an entirely negative. I'm also an impatient person.
