The concept art looks much better than the final product.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I really hope Sonic Team eventually goes back to using the 2D art they made for the Adventure era as well as the Advance/Rush games.

I love the 2D art, but for the 3D art, all they need to do is fix the smirk really.

And that obnoxiously defined brow.

Yea,tho it's pretty much always that way xP
Really the most nagging thing about it is that odd emphasis on the brow/mouth...
which is kinda weird when you see/compare this other render (from Unleashed)...

Notice how the brows are a lot less prominent here...(and the smirk too for that matter)
It's just overall more subtle and ''cleaner'' looking(and definitely one of my more fav 3d renders of the char).
Alot more ''lively'' either way...

Tho it's maybe just cus of the lighting effects?
Assuming it's the exact same model used :/
If so...
It'd look waay better if done like this.
(Still wouldn't mind a good 2D artwork...actually..that'd be pretty awesome to see again ! )

But overall..meh... I'm not that bothered with it,guess it's decent for a title screen.

Apparently someone has a demo of Episode 2, according to Twitter. Another leak? O.O

EDIT: Ooh, specs. Nice, my laptop might be able to run it!

Dammit, i hope it's not true! For once we don't know everything about the game before it comes out even though i can see a launch trailer with everything coming.

In any case. PS3 for me. That's where i play games, that's where i have Ep. 1 and gonna get Metal as well.

[Gatestormer]

I've only got a pre-purchase option on the product page....unless there's a glitch in that link that actually downloads it now?

[SKANKFUNK]

Hmmm, Source? I'm not finding anything on Twitter about a Sonic 4-2 leak.

[Indigo Rush]

All I know is I came into Steam expecting a Sonic 4 download and happily left with a discounted Monkey Island SE Bundle.

[Nik1895]

Hmm, considering from Steam Registry when you purchase Episode 2 on Steam you get 14287 subscription called Sonic the Hedgehog 4 - Episode II which is NOT a preorder and it gives you full game available for launch! Though I'm not sure because I did not bought it. Did anyone purchased it yet?

I can't really share on request of the user who posted it. But it's there.

[MarcelloF]

What kind of an idiot posts something they don't want to be shared on Twitter?

[Indigo Rush]

Currently downloading Sonic 4: Episode 2.

[Nik1895]

Currently downloading Sonic 4: Episode 2.

"Play" button?
It's really available for launch. What's the real size of the game, BTW?

Edited by Nik1895, 21 April 2012 - 01:12 PM.

[Tracker_TD]

RIGHT. Time to purchase it as well. Just to see...

[Ryan92]

I'm at my halls, that block all forms of online gaming, so, in my attempts to try and purchase, it failed haha!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing the conclusion to all this
