VG247 writes: Information on Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 will arrive “very soon,” Sega West CEO Mike Hayes has told VG247.
Plenty of games seem guaranteed to get sequels. But sometimes, companies surprise people and give them the additional installments they didn't know they needed.
Sonic the Hedgehog 4 was something many wanted to see for a very long time. Continuing the story from Sonic 3 & Knuckles, many had lofty expectations for this title. When it finally released, many were split on the project. From it’s episodic nature, different feeling controls and changes that felt strange to fans of Sonic’s classic adventures, Sonic 4 Episode I and II were divisive games to say the least.
I feel like if they could keep improving on the Sonic 4 physics, formula and level design they could have gone from the good Sonic 4 Ep II to something genuinely great for Sonic 4 Ep III.
Strange games. Definitely shouldn't have been "Sonic 4". Seeing as it re-used alot of ideas, level themes enemies and bosses etc, it really should have been called "Sonic Megamix" or something and the levels should have been named after the originals. This would have given SEGA a chance to see what fans reaction was to this style of game, before going in for "proper" Sonic 4. Sonic Mania feels far more "Sonic 4" than the actual Sonic 4 does haha

In this new article, Retro Gaming Magazine will take a look at a collection of games that cater to a different area of retro gaming. Starting the festivities off is the “action” category which encompasses titles such as Sonic, Mario and more. Devices with physical buttons are obviously the choice of play with these games."
Wait i thought they had cancelled the series due to too much complaining from the fans??
I hope it has new levels and bosses instead of the same recycled stuff. That was my problem with episode 1. And wth? Where were the fire, water and lightning bubbles that were so well established in sonic 3?
Why bother sonic 4 episode 1 was rubbish every sonic game since 1994 has been rubbish sonic 4 episode 2 will be rubbish along with sonic generation ive given up on sega doing a good sonic game how hard can it be very hard it seems !!!
Oh. It has Tails. Who's ready for an episode of sonic that closely resembles to Sonic the Hedgehog 2? ¬¬
I can't wait. I really enjoyed episode 1. I hope there is more level on this one.
