Just so you know I'm still optimistic about this game even if the physics do like Sonic Rush 3 sans boost. However, since this is leaked alpha footage so I'll give Sega the benefit of the doubt for a bit longer only because they seemed to nail everything else.

Also 6 months 1 week without a leak, not counting however long the game's been in development before that. This is probably the longest Sega has managed to do so with a Sonic game. Kudos,

Anyone getting a Quartz Quadrant or Sonic 2 Hidden Palace Zone vibe from Lost Labyrinth?

CLASSIC SONIC REVEALED?

I thought that was a photoshopped image from Retro/here...?

... And even if it isn't, he still looks like a total douche...

[redmenace]

Not a figure 8, it's the classic wheel animation but more oval. I think it looks very good.

I'm getting a Labyrinth Zone vibe from Lost Labyrinth.

I'm going to stop watching TV since the rarecide to go and watch it something like this hits the net.

1UP and Tristan at TSSZ will no doubt be getting in serious trouble with SEGA and Jordan4K6 you will probably have your YouTube video removed and anyone else who YouTube's it.

I'm as usual with these leaks not reporting on it out of respect.

Comments on the video:
Yay at the full speed running animation
Yay at music
Yay at the new badniks
Yay at the title screen
Yay at the zone name/intro opening screen
Yay at the speed
Yay at zone start looking like Sonic 1's

Physics seem to be a bit off like the spring into loop-de-loop which is to be expected but so far so good.

I'm quite impressed with what I've seen.

They've definitely nailed the look of the game and I'm loving the return of the classic "SEEEEEEEEGA". I would've preferred Sonic 2-esque special stages and I'm hoping that there are more than four zones in Episode 1 (though I'm assuming there is, as there's 7 Chaos Emeralds on offer), but aside from that I've got nothing to complain about.

The person playing it does suck though. They're not showing off the game at its best, I'm sure.

[EXshad]

So wait...there's three acts, and then a separate boss?



Kinda lame, Sonic Team. That's not classic-like, that's Sonic Advance-like. Though, if they can throw in some unique Eggman-bots, like the mini-bosses in Sonic 3, or other big enemies like that in addition to just fighting Eggman, it might be cool. Plus, it DOES (artificially) extend the game, I suppose...

[Michael Myers]

But seriously, what was going on at the last spring over the loop? It doesn't look like a glitch since there's a graphic animation and everything. May be the homing attack.

It's just an Alpha-build of the game...im sure Sonic Team will fix it...oh wait..Sonic Team?..fix a "glitch"...oh crap....uhm..At least it does not look like Sonic Rush 3..

[Matriculated]

I think there's going to be more than 4 zones. Last month some info about the game leaked, at the time it was just dismissed as fake. Since then however, everything in that leak has come true

http://www.sonicstad...ails-zone-names

-The game IS called Sonic 4

-The game IS released in episodes

-The first level IS Splash Hill Zone

The leak also mentions E.G.G Station Zone. Either there are a minimum of 5 levels or this one piece of information is wrong. As everything else turned out true I don' know why this would be different.

Because Sonic 1 was good and this one sucks.

AHAHA.

I'm just joking. I'm very bitter right now.

I think SEGA should have been a bit more cautious doing a press presentation like that for example I went to an early charity premiere showing for the first Alvin and the Chipmunks movie and before everyone could go in they had to have any cameras and mobile phones taken away until the film was over so no-one could record anything of it, SEGA should have done the same here.

1UP and Tristan at TSSZ will no doubt be getting in serious trouble with SEGA and Jordan4K6 you will probably have your YouTube video removed and anyone else YouTubes it.

It's probably on MegaUpload, Rapidshare, Mediafire and about a thousand other filesharing sites already, so there wouldn't really be much point in SEGA even attempting to remove it from so many different places...

... But everybody knows that they'll sure as hell try! XD

"Definitly not Sonic 1 HD", they said.

Casino Night and Metropolis are from Sonic 2.

And it's not as if the level designs are the same, anyway.

Kinda lame, Sonic Team. That's not classic-like, that's Sonic Advance-like.

It may not be "classic-like", but it's better. I've always preferred having the bosses separate from the levels.

[Veritech Guardian]

I noticed in the video he didn't use spin dash once... D=

Wanted to see it. (Maybe not in yet, but I heard the sound)

[Hogfather]

I hope that they find the person who uploaded this, and if he works for Sega... they fire him.

I'm sick to death of people leaking stuff for things that we're all looking forward to, as Kimari says "Pick spot, shut up, wait!"

P.S. he got hit by a motorbug... Robotnik was right, they are more dangerous.

You kiddin'? He used it, like, 4 times.

So then Sonic Heroes is a 3D remake of Sonic 2? It had a Casino level.

Why can't you just take it. It's a Sonic game in 2D, on a non-portable consol, and you are complaining. Congratulations.

It may not be "classic-like", but it's better. I've always preferred having the bosses separate from the levels.

I just hope yiu won't have to enter the menu while going on to the next level. I want it to just, go from Act 1 to Act 2, with nothing but a little loading screen between them.

[Chooch]

You fools can hate all you want.

It looks good to me.
