So, with Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 having no "To Be Continued" sign or cliffhanger in any way, shape, or form, I'm starting to think we might not get another Episode to the Sonic 4 Saga.

I'm hoping this is the case.

I'm hoping this is the case.

Im guessing you didn't quite like the pervious Episodes?

[Diogenes]

Yaaaay.

Seriously they need to ditch that waste and start from scratch if they're ever going to make something good. After fucking up E1 so bad it's just weighing them down and preventing them from taking the actions they need to take.

Just take it out back and shoot it. Let's just forget it happened like 06 and move on to the future.

[Soniman]

Im gonna be the rebel and hope for genuine improvement come next installment (if it ever does come) instead of treating it like it's some cancerous tumor.

It's time for Sega to move on with the Sonic franchise. I hope they don't do anything more with the whole Sonic 4 saga.

[King Sombrero]

From what I've seen the reception was not that good on this one like it was for episode 1 which had the hype train of "ITS SONIC 4!!!!" I think it's better than E1 but not by much and that it isn't worth another episode. They ought to move on to something that has more potential or at least better direction. I'd even take Sonic Rush 3 over Episode 3, just let dimps do their thing instead of watered down versions of console games or classic games that aren't really classic at all.

Re: No Episode 3 - I'm fairly sure Iizuka-san had confirmed as much during the promotional run up to Episode 2s release.

Sonic Heroes 2?

<.<

*runs*

[Johnny Boy]

Shouldn't this be in the Sonic 4 section? And honestly, I think it's best if Sega just makes something original. The sonic 4 saga isn't anything special to me anyway.

But that's the problem. Because Episode 3 would be part of the saga, for the sake of consistency they'd stick with some form of the existing physics, and even if they were improved, time would better spent making something that's good rather than trying to keep polishing a turd.

They tampered with the physics to change it from Ep I to what we have in II so I'm sure it can be the same deal in III, and I'm sure having good level design to compliment it wouldn't be much of a problem.

Maybe I'm just not seeing what the huge deal is here.

[Diogenes]

Making episode 3 means choosing between keeping things in line with the previous two episodes and changing things to be better.

If they make a new game, they aren't at all bound by what S4 did.

[The Blue]

Eh, I'd honestly enjoy if they made an Episode 3. I'd like a proper ending to the Sonic 4 series, showing what would happen to Little Planet and the Death Egg Mk.2 afterwards, or what happened to Sonic & Tails after using the escape pods.

So yeah, I'd like an Episode 3.

Eh that's fair enough, I'm just saying it's a possibility that a possible E3 might be a decent and fun game.

IMPOSSIBLE. D:

No but really, personally I'd enjoy an Episode 3. I enjoyed both Episodes of Sonic 4, so - again, personally - I wouldn't mind to have a third episode to conclude the Sonic 4 series. I didn't really like the cliffhanger ending from Episode 2.

I dunno. I already gave them a chance with Episode 1....and again with Episode 2. While Episode 1 was bad but not shit or disgusting as peeps put it, there was just something about Episode 2. Like it was the first time in years I went like "Wow, can't believe I wasted money on this." I'll go once out of the blue moon and play Co-op with friends, but when I play by myself, the game genuinely makes me angry. Like angry at how much they lied about things they "said" they would do, and upset at how mediocre and bad the game is when the developers have put out great stuff before, especially after we just got a good game in the franchise, only to go back to this...."game"

Fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice shame on me
Try it and you're just making fucking idiots out of yourselves.

They should make a patch that just has Death Egg blow-up and show Little Planet alright. But then again the costs would be astronomical! Millions of dollars!
