Project Needlemouse

I hardly heard of anything about project needlemouse. All I know about it is that it is comming out in 2010 and that is a HD-2D game. I also heard that it may be a game that you need online access for. Saprissy (talk) 13:41, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Source for it being a sidescroller? Confirmed 2D yes, but it's not a confirmed sidescroller. Kinda splitting hairs here, I know. 69.253.248.147 (talk) 04:42, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Sauce for it being a not-hoax?--72.130.149.170 (talk) 22:42, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Online access really pisses me off. Not everybody has Live. Anywho, is this like... 2D 2D, or sidescroll with 3D graphics? 170.215.136.62 (talk) 06:33, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Request

It would be worth mentioning statistics about the hype on project needlemouse. I've read the original trailer had 100000 views in the first 48 hours, but I don't remember the source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.51.30.42 (talk) 15:56, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

I would like to request changing the main logo image to this http://i.imgur.com/AmY8S.png as it's much cleaner. --Salutules (talk) 10:54, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Name

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 vs Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1. Since subsequent episodes would be part of "Sonic the Hedgehog 4" I suggest that we use the name of the former.KiasuKiasiMan (talk) 08:40, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Well it depends on how they handle it. Like, Half-Life 2 split the episodes into distinct parts, right? I don't really know, I think we'll have to wait for more information on the game to make a decision. Not that I actually know anything about Wikipedia naming conventions and stuff like that...because I don't. :\ Takua108 (talk) 09:01, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Personally, I say keep it "Sonic the Hedgehog 4". All of the games' information should go into this one article, unless the individual episodes contain so much knowledge that it's only feasible to split the article. --Onore Baka Sama (talk) 17:30, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

4th platform

[1] Not sure if this could be considered a "reliable source", but the unannounced 4th platform this game will be released on is most likely the iPhone. Groudon199 (talk) 10:59, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

I saw the article on the original source SonicStadium and they had a link of the image to the official site. Unfortunately the image has since been deleted so there is no way to really prove it until it is officially announced by Sega.KiasuKiasiMan (talk) 14:39, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

I've a backup of the sonic4 site structure and files from before they removed it but yeah; still not official enough.--Salutules (talk) 16:01, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Move

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 → Sonic the Hedgehog 4 — because it is it's correct title while Episode 1 will be a subtitle for the first game in the series. Domino2097 (talk) 11:06, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, this really ought to be at Sonic the Hedgehog 4 as the episode numbers are subtitles. There's a disambiguation page currently sitting at Sonic the Hedgehog 4 for terms that aren't really relevant by comparison - it'd need an admin to move it over the top of the existing one. 212.225.113.32 (talk) 14:21, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Agree - My reasons were stated above as the first to suggest this. I believe that "Episode 1" should be removed as further episodes are part of Sonic the Hedgehog 4.KiasuKiasiMan (talk) 17:55, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm being bold and moving this. It is clear this is an episodic series, so this current page is the series page. If there is a need for separate episode articles as the series progresses, we can add them, but adding the ep1 moniker now is premature. --MASEM (t) 18:23, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

This is NOT the return of old Sonic!

Once I saw the actual footage of the game, I was really angry! Sega promised us this would be the return of the old, classic Sonic and what did they do? They still have that ugly redesign from the 3D games and they make it look like another one of the newer Sonic games only babies would play. Sega should give us classic Sonic back NOW! No more of this skinny, green eyed, dorkier-"Sonic", give us back the REAL Sonic, the one from the Genesis days! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.230.188.172 (talk) 00:36, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

It's a return to old sonic game play and game mechanics, of course its not going to look like the old games because they can do so much more with games and make them look good. Yes sonic looks like he has for the last few games, but this game looks like it is set up like the old games. --207.159.187.238 (talk) 02:34, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Not the place to whine about your artistic preferences. 67.193.211.217 (talk) 02:49, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. Though this might be a good place to point out that this is the most polarized fan response to a 5-second gameplay clip I've ever seen, it's absurd. I'm not sure if that's article worthy or not- perhaps when the game is released and this all comes to a head it can be under the critical response? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.105.137.73 (talk) 19:58, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

As the one that started this section, I might as well take back what I said earlier; sure, "Sonic" looks ugly, but at least the old gameplay is still there, as well as the badnicks and old stages. I just hope no horrible characters like Shadow the Hedgehog will be in the game! I want to play as JUST Sonic!

Another Plaform?

Hmm, on the US official website it looks like Sonic 4'll be released on another game system as well. What will it be? Should it be noted in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.241.0.183 (talk) 15:51, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

It's most likely the iPhone (which is mentioned in the article) it was located at /assets/promo1.png on the official site but has since been renamed/removed so it cannot be found. but here is a backup of the original file http://i.imgur.com/W7znF.png --Salutules (talk) 01:33, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
