That's 3D though, isn't it? Not proper platforming

Pfft. Proper platforming is always 2D
I'm uneasy about moving into the 3rd dimension. It's alien, wrong and totally impractical
2D platforming works: Run. Jump, Hit an obstacle. Beat the problem. Repeat until you've reached our goal. 3D just isn't right
Sonic, Lost Vikings, Ristar, Dynamite Headdy, DuckTales, Golden Axe, even the Lion King and Aladdin games... all would be needlessly complicated in 3D, and have had their heyday in 2D. Mario hasn't had a heyday so isn't worthy of mention
The Simpsons and Turtles arcade scrollers were two of the best games I've ever played. 2D side scrollers, based on 2D media
Yeh. Just cos 3D has one more D, doesn't necessarily make it any better. It's not too hard to grasp
fact: mario games > sonic games
Megaman = best 2d platforming of all of them...I think so at least. I mean contra and Ninja Gaiden are also good but megaman(including X series) have just been my personal fav.
GTFO my thread
fact: mario games > sonic games
I think we're covering old ground here'course, that was back when selo contributed anything
Good god, them was the days, eh? Been a while.
The way I see it, 3D gives the player too much of an advantage in gameplay. 2D is more of a restriction, making the game much more challenging, which many of us like.
Quite so. It seems like for 3D games to be playable, often there has to be a lot of help given to the player which does seem to make them easy.
Play Mario Galaxy, then talk
I'd rather kiss a fat balding Italian plumber
2D will always be better than 3D in platforming terms. No getting away from it ^_^
Any news from Needlemouse?

Off camera video of Sonic 4 showing the Splash Hill Zone:
The video also shows the names of 3 other zones (Lost Labyrinth Zone, Casino Street Zone, Mad Gear Zone as well as a Special Stage) Is this the full list for episode one?
Also, a page on the XBox page states that the developer is DIMPS (responsible for Sonic Advance and the Sonic Rush games under the Sonic Team name.)
[Temp old sig until I can be bothered making a new one]
Woah. o_O Thank you for that. I'm liking what I see already!
Splash Hill... can you say Emerald Hill Zone?I can't wait to play the Mad Gear Zone
I'm thinking you mean Green Hill, hina?
Sounds like the tried and tested Green, water, casino, mecha mix of levels! Gotta love it
Yeah, pretty much the kind of levels everyone was expecting. Wonder what the Special stage is like this time around.
Yeah, I love the traditional title screen, finger wagging and all ^_^
[Temp old sig until I can be bothered making a new one]
no, Emerald, cos I'm trying to draw parallels with Sonic 2, not STH
Mad Gear sounds like a mix between Mystic Cave and Metropolis, like the 2-player level on Sonic 3 (Chrome Gadget)
I love how this is starting out
