So… the two Sonic sites that have quite possibly been the most negative towards Sonic 4 are going to be releasing the new info? Interesting tactics.
On the other note, I think it’s great that Sega is reaching out to the community.

Comment # 16
TailsFox – I don’t think they’ve really been too negative, actually.
You’ll definitely find passionate fans on any Sonic site or forum, and a mix of both positive and negative comments. But generally, I think even those that are ‘negative’ are so only because the people posting them are passionate about Sonic and the quality of the games. They love the games they grew up with, and just want to see the newer games match up to that standard.

As for this upcoming news, I’m ecstatic over Sonic the Hedgehog 4. It is good to see that the Sonic series is getting the New Super Mario Bros. treatment and going back to it’s roots, despite the fact I enjoyed both the recent Sonic games and the classic ones (I’m an open-minded person). I am for sure certainly hoping to get a chance to play this game at least sometime in my life. On the other hand, I will just have to look at the news while I wait for it’s release.

I can’t wait! I saw a clip of “Sonic 4″ at a Video Games Live concert. It was great! Sonic’s running animation, in particular, looked surprisingly good. All the stills released up till now do not do “Sonic 4’s” visuals justice compared to the vid.
Oh, what the heck, I’ll say it again. I can’t wait!!! 😀

I hope this update reveals one or two more levels for Episode 1. Don’t get me wrong, Spalsh Hill, Casino Street, Lost Labyrinth and Mad Gear all look nice, but i’d prefer a few New ORIGINAL levels thrown into the mix instead of it just being a rehash of S1/2 with pretty graphics…
I’m also hoping they’ve re-done some of the music. The current S4 boss theme and a lot of the level music isn’t as catchy as sonics older tunes…
Oh, and add Tails
Can’t WAIT !!!

Game informer said that SEGA will release the games in full 1080p on ps3 and XBox360. And Wii still is 480p widescreen… I know, we all know that, but at least they confirmed that. (For those who thought that we would get it in 720p)
AArrgg!!I can’t wait for this game!! I really don’t know what mistery console would be best for this game… 3DS could be nice, since it’s coming soon.. but Ipod is the obvious choice. A new SEGA system could be nice, eh? SEGA? Wink, Wink! You could call it
128-X!

@Sonic the Hedgehog
C’mon dude! Do you really think I’m serious? Everybody’s joking around here about a new console! And I hope you don’t think 128-X is serious? Its a hommage to the greatest system ever: the 32-X!
Please don’t lecture me, trying to look more important and more informed than you really areÂ. We are just here to have fun, to celebrate Sonic 4, that’s all.

Man, I can hardly wait…
I’ve been hyping up Sonic 4 for myself for months. I have a pretty good feeling you’re gonna get it right this time. I’m not positive, but I’m keeping my hopes up.
As stated before, can’t wait.

I’ve recently thought, where will Sonic 4 be set relative to South Island, West Side Island and Angel Island? Will Sonic 4 be set on a new island?

Did’nt they say Sonic was visiting a “new” island, or something? Guess I’ll go to Sonicthehedgehog4.com to refresh my memorie!

Seriously. Sega, how can you surprise us more after all those leaks? xD We’ve already seen everything we need.
BTW, Sonic 4 is crap and “copy and paste” game. Sonic adventure 3 – THAT would be a game!

I’m excited – only a few hours to go!
But also, I really, really think it’s awesome that SEGA has been trying to interact so much with the community these past few months. And hell, with the huge leak ordeal I’m amazed that we’re getting any more news – not to mention exclusively on community run Sonic fan sites! All I gotta say is SEGA and RubyEclipse, keep up the good work. Listening/talking to the fans really means something to us, the fans.

To the guy who said they’re sending it to the “two most negative” websites, sonic retro has actually been very positive towards this game, or at least most of the people on it have been. It’s NeoGAF which hates the game.

Guys, according to a recent issue of Nintendo Power, Sonic 4 will include a “long-absent character from the old Sonic series that many fans will be pleased to see.” I’m pretty sure that’s what the “big news” will be about.
My guess is that it’s Fang the Sniper/Nack the Weasel.

That’s Metal Sonic, guys. I don’t see any reason for some-crappy-characters-no-one-gives-a-shit-about to appear in Sonic the hedgehog 4.
I can’t get it, when people say a character we all saw ONCE in aretro game is better than, for example, Shadow, Silver or Jet.

I’m excited about this news too. Hopefully this will help you all be more patient.
This was from Kellie on the forums:
“I know that many of you are continually refreshing, so I wanted to provide some clarity on what’s happening today.
We’ll have the official announcement at 3pm US Pacific time on the SEGA blog and Sonic 4 website. That will be followed by RubyEclipse’s appearance on the On the Spot show on Gamespot at 4pm US Pacific time. (I believe that will be airing at http://www.gamespot.com/shows/today-on-the-spot/)
Thanks!”

Anyway, I really hope we are getting an optional classic Sonic skin. The recent Sonic and the oldschool Sonic feel like two completely different characters to me. I miss my little blue friend from the Genesis.
