Running through walls

Besides that it looks fun! To bad all those trailers are edited by some dude on speed.

[Shockhog]

Wow, it looks like a modernized Metropolis Zone. Great! I hope it's just as difficult too.

Still not a fan of those animations in the trailer though. :/

[Scar]

Me likey.

Lookin' good. Yeah, its based on Metropolis, but like Lost Labyrinth, it looks a million times better than its original counterpart, because it doesn't have that putrid greed colour everywhere.

TA, TA TAAAA, TA TA TA TA ta, TA TA TA TA TAA, ta taRARA.

I can't wait :3

Mad Gear Zone is badass and everyone knows it.

Can't see a preview or screenshots to go with it like with the Casino Street Zone reveal. Guess press aren't touching that until review time. I bet those Shellcracker badniks will be just as awkwardly placed as in Metropolis Zone. Ahh, the memories of anger with those evil things

At least there won't be any hit-box issues [hopefully], seeing as it is most definately NOT using Sonic 2's engine.

Agh, don't remind me.

I was about to finish Act 2, then I was killed by a ShellCracker on a cliff DX

Is anyone able to YouTube the trailer? I hate WordPress and websites own custom video players.>_<

[Badnik Zero]

This is the first time I'm seeing the level clearly. It looks really nice like that. I love the metal textures on the stage, like the shiny greens and the faded grays, it's awesome.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ndzzIryqNo Not the highest quality but it'll work until someone gets their hands on the better quality.

*Does SEGA have a problem with this, by chance? If I'm ruining some sort of exclusive deal I"ll happily remove the video*

Since I was mainly just uploading this to view the trailer, I'll go ahead and say that I think Mad Gear Zone looks awesome. My hype had died off a few months ago for this game, but these recent trailers have done a great job of revving my excitement back up.

That looks awesome. I don't remember those see-saws in the leaked footage.

They're in act 3 only.

Trailer was awesome. It's annoying that Sonic still has the ability to smash walls with his face though. That's Knuckles ability (cause he like uses his fists)

Ugh, such terrible trailer music. Those of us that have heard Mad Gear's music know that it has the best songs in the game. Oh well, bring on the 13th.

I will not enter this zone without Super Sonic

Thanks! Added it to my article and gave you credit

So, it's getting kinda late. I guess (hope) the second update will be tomorrow. :/

Break-away walls lol

[Detective Shadzter]

I put it in the status box, but may aswell post it here too. Ken says he's going to make 2 more Sonic 4 trailers, an iPhone specific one and an all-zones launch trailer.

I'll make an iPhone specific Trailer and a Launch Trailer (with All Zones) yu guys will really like Launch. It wraps up the Trailer story kinda cool.

Hope it has E.G.G Station Zone.

[Spooky Mulder]

Hope it has E.G.G Station Zone.

It won't, E.G.G Station is just a boss fight. There'd be no reason to show it.

bosses

Still a zone though. Sky Chase from Sonic 2 and Wing Fortress from said games are 1 act only and are still called Zones, Death Egg too.

Its a zone but what could you really show from it? I think there's a reason that they haven't shown the bosses in the trailers for any of these zones. I think they may actually want to keep the bosses a surprise for the 5 people who didn't watch the leaks or hear about them.

[speedfreak]

I'm secretly hoping the bosses have been altered at least a little bit. I fully expect to be disappointed. Though we haven't seen anything for bosses in the new build so I'm hoping. I didn't mind the reused level themes because the improved graphics changed things up enough, and I was also fine with reused badniks, but the reused boss fights really bothered me. I loved getting to the end of a zone and seeing what crazy new invention I got to break next and Sonic 4 doesn't really have that. Well actually the LLZ boss is pretty cool because it's actually the most unique.

[Core]

Mad Gear does look a lot like Metropolis Zone. It looks dangerous. And did I see the same green badnik (I think it was called Slicer)?

I'm going to hate this Zone.

[Octarine]

Recycled or not, Mad Gear is still very visually impressive. If it's not my favourite zone from Episode I, it's at least tied with Lost Labyrinth... they both take the classic levels they're based on and add enough extra detail to really come alive.

God, though, these trailers... they're getting marginally better each time, but they're still pretty awful. The intro and outro still look cheap, but it's the use of this weird, generic music that's starting to bother me much more. They'd have to have gone out of their way to find the (presumably stock) music... is there some kind of rights issue with the game's soundtrack? Sonic 4's soundtrack adds a lot to the classic atmosphere; they're selling the game short by not advertising with it.

Watched the trailer, feeling pretty good about myself too. Then this caught my eye......

excuse the lapse in my usually clean language.

Not only did I just confirm for myself the return of two of the most despised badniks in the history of the series, but I don't think we've ever encountered enemy placement quite like that before. This is so far beyond that single Shellcraker on the ledge back on the Genesis. This is basically a "hope you had a sheild lol" screw you round. This Zone is going to be nuts.

.....

and I am going to love every second of it. *crosses fingers for Eggmanland mach 2*

Damn that zone looks pretty. Certainly seems like a fitting way to bring the episode to a close (barring E.G.G. Station Zone, of course), even if it is just a souped-up Metropolis Zone.

My hype levels are back up for this game. I just hope they stay up.
