What Should We Expect From Sonic 4?

Sonic 4 Logo What Should We Expect From Sonic 4?

By the looks of it, SEGA is fed up. Fed up with the constant stream of poor reviews and publicity of just about any Sonic game you might have played within what, the last 7 or 8 years? But for whatever reason, they still come. Of course when I say they, I really mean you. Year after year we decide to forget previous pour attempts and just hope for the best as SEGA gears up to take another swing at it. And wouldn’t you know it, year after year, we are struck with disappointment. Somehow, someway, SEGA is just now saying to themselves: “Hey, we should fix this Sonic thing!” It seems that they just might have with the announcement of Sonic 4. But before I go on, in some way it seems that I’m falling into the same trap. Yes, this does seem familiar. It’s the vicious circle of Sonic. It starts with the announcement that a new Sonic game is headed our way. From there, a little pre-release hype and excitement, never hurt anybody right? And once the game actually releases: utter and complete disappointment. And like I said, it’s a circle that ultimately ends up happening Sonic, after Sonic, after Sonic. And we fall for it every time.

With all this in mind, you might just actually be able to get psyched over Sonic 4. Not because you’re a delusional Sonic fan who can’t see the disaster coming if it were 2 feet away from you. No, but because Sonic 4 looks like…well, the Sonic game that you might actually want to play. SEGA has decided to go back to its routes and give gamers a bit of nostalgia. If there had to be one drug that we as gamers just seem to feed off of, nostalgia would take the prize hands down. And I’m not talking about what they decided to do with Sonic Unleashed. Because despite it’s somewhat trip down memory lane, dude that game was just broken. But Sonic 4 plans to take that same 2D art style you played all those years ago, re-evaluate it, and perhaps even perfect it, to give you a brand new Sonic game you can actually care about playing.

So far so good right? Well it gets even better. SEGA has also decided to release Sonic 4 digitally via PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, Iphone/Ipod Touch, and WiiWare. And the main reason why this is a good thing is because not only do we see a lower price (God I hope so), but also more of a chance to get the game into the hands of a broader audience. And maybe, just maybe, show SEGA that a good Sonic game is still very much possible.  Yes it appears that Sonic 4 is going to be episodic, seeing as the title states clear as day “Episode 1.” And though it’s not clear how exactly this is going to work out, I’m going to just give SEGA the benefit of the doubt (again).

It feels like I’m absolutely setting myself up for disappointment. You can almost see a pattern with SEGA in how they’ve approached Sonic over the years. Starting in the 2D stage, it slowly built itself up (or down depending on how you look at it) to get more complex technically, and then coming right back down to that same 2D style they started with in the first place. If SEGA feels that this is what it’s going to take, then hell, more power to them. At the same time however, if SEGA doesn’t hit the mark here, what’s next? Where can they possible go from here? Well have to wait and see what becomes of Sonic 4 but until then, we are in the hype stage. You know what’s next? Disappointment. Prove me wrong SEGA, prove me wrong.

Dante’s Inferno Review: The Demo Part II

DanteInferno Game Dante’s Inferno Review: The Demo Part II

Someone's excited about Dante's bone.

In part one of the review for Dante’s Inferno’s demo, I stated that the game is stupid at least twice and then said I wasn’t finished. Well, this is going to wrap it up, so enjoy yourselves through my continued misery.

When we last left our hero Dante, he was fighting demons from Hell in his backyard. Well, after the barrier mishap and the defeat of his enemies, Dante dashes up the hill behind his house and goes into a church where his dead wife’s spectral body is. I know this game is still trying to be edgy, but why does it have so many boobs? I mean, sure, you can have boobs in a game and it doesn’t really matter. This game seems to be slamming boobs in your face like Bayonetta or something, but what point does it serve? It’s not like chicks were naked all the time back then, or were they? I don’t know, seems like a religious person would want to cover up more since I don’t think she was married to Dante at the time.

Whatever, she gets taken again after saying something about vowing, then you place down the cross you’ve been carrying on your hip, and then you find out that the church is built over Hell. I may not be an architect or surveyor, but I don’t think building over a chasm of Hell is a really good idea. So some flying bat/mosquito demons attack and you’re prompted to use the cross. I used it, it’s stupid. I’d much rather be cleaving demons into nothingness with Death’s scythe since this game keeps pushing violence in my face. Hey, isn’t that a level of Hell? Fnarr, fnarr.

Anyway, you fight off the demons as the floor of the church starts to break apart. Oh, and just so everyone knows, the best way to kill the demons and not die because combos give you too much forward momentum is to just absolve or punish them. While I haven’t really figured out what absolving or punishing them does for you, it just gives you two more souls so you can upgrade your abilities. But, by “abilities”, I mean “it gives you more combos to do”. I don’t really think absolving them is necessary since you already have enough enemies to kill in the first place, therefore showering you with more souls. I guess it’s up to you what you’d want to do, but punishing seems to look cooler and doesn’t involve the useless cross.

Speaking of crosses, the rest of the floor collapses and then a cross does. You have to jump onto the cross quickly and then run across it before leaping to the safety of a ledge in the wall before the cross falls into Hell. Seems kind of stupid to me that you’re trying not to go into Hell but you’ll ultimately end up there anyway. So, now you can open up a chest, I mean a fountain, and get some health if you lost any. I don’t think Dante remembers how to drink from fountains, mainly because he busts it open and somehow gets health. Maybe if the scythe turned into a cup? I don’t know, this game is too much like God of War even when it doesn’t make sense.
