Ben-DutkaWhat is "Project Needlemouse?" Well, it's Sega's latest attempt at reviving the ailing Sonic franchise.
According to GameSpot , Sega wants to make this a "proper sequel" to both the original Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 ; this new game will be called, Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 . You can view a trailer through the link above and as you can see, it starts with a quick retrospective of the classic series and also tells us that it'll arrive for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii as a downloadable title this summer. It sure as hell looks 2D, which is exactly what the fans have wanted ever since Sega started messing up the 3D installments; most recently, Sonic Unleashed and the ill-advised Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing . Apparently, Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 will simply pick up where Sonic & Knuckles left off, re-incorporating old-school 2D gameplay mechanics much to the delight of veteran fans. For years, we haven't found a Sonic game worth playing…but how can anyone resist the allure of a true-blue 2D sequel?
The other good news is that as a downloadable title, it won't cost anywhere near as much as a standard disc-based game. A perfect rejuvenation for the summer!
For all those saying sonic in 3d doesn't work, it worked pretty well on DC and GC remakes.
Not to mention if you played the demo for Sonic Unleashed you're likely to find it fun if you are a fan of sonic. The problem is they have a dumb gimmick in each game like the wear-hog.
In fact, I believe it was on this site that I read an article that they couldn't make a game with all high speed running levels because it would take too much time but on that note I feel its what sonic needs to be successful in 3d
OMG!!!!!!!!!!
