He's right though. Just like Half-Life, Sonic 4 isn't getting a trilogy...lol.

So, which old level do you think Sonic 4: Episode 2 will use again? I'm betting on Death Egg Zone just because it seems to fit the most.

Edit: Getting that from the OXM interview, which is media.

It's looking like

Spoiler

Sky Fortress

will be the throwback as it's mentioned in the achievements as having more than one act. I thought this might be a two-part final boss zone at first, but the game is confirmed to have only 17 acts and not 18.

Thanks a lot Neon!

I think they did seeing that 16th of May is a Wednesday (when XBLA updates) so I better save some money for MS Points I hope it is the 16th though and it isn't a random date =]

What an excellent birthday present to myself.

What i personally want to see as a throwback level, is a new level that's a throwback, like imagine if the Death Egg, instead of crashing into Angel Island again, crashes into Scrap Brain Zone from Sonic 1, thus having a level that could effectively represent all 3 games of the trilogy.

Though if its a direct remake, I'd personally want to see Lava Reef/Hidden Palace Zone, with a possible Knuckles appearance/boss

The throwback level is already confirmed from the achievements. Putting it in Spoilers just in case:

Spoiler

Sky Fortress

Also i marked May 16th What a present for my name-celebration 5 days later!

Maybe this Sky Fortress crashes (Or just lands) on Stardust Speedway (Little Planet) and you get one last encounter with Metal Sonic there

[VizardJeffhog]

That would be freaking tank.

Nice to see the level in full. The snow-digging gimmick is definitely an interesting and quite good one. The level design sucks though. Down a hill > off a ramp into the air > BUBBLES/Springs/Boosters > Down a hill > off a ramp into the air > BUBBLES/Springs/Boosters > Down a hill > Digging > Down a hill > off a ramp into the air > BUBBLES/Springs/Boosters > END.

It also confirms what I was saying before. The way that springs and boosters work as scripted events royally sucks.

I don't really get why Dimps lacks the ability to make expansive level design. Generations 3DS is a great example of this as all 3 classic levels seemed to be more fleshed out than the later levels somewhat.

At this point I don't understand why SEGA allows Dimps too stick around...got to wonder if they are just cheap for then to enlist.

Game looks fun though...from a Sonic Advance 2 standpoint. Critics are going to eat this up though, that's for sure.

Just noticed Tails's tails don't follow his jump directionally. I'm assuming this is because it's not a finished build...

Really? 'cause it seems to me that it's just to force a team move, and then it's just a matter of jumping gaps as you're forced forward. It's like a far crappier version of the Drill from Colors.

I honestly don't see this as a very engaging game. Sure might suck an hour or two out of your life but nothing that anyone will care about in 10 years.

You'll remember forever if you co-op with me or my friend. And if you don't buy it I'm buying it for you, you WILL co-op with me >=|

To save time, they simply copypasted the original level designs from the original levels (namely Act 1 from each zone).

EDIT: This is my 1000th post! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
