Talk:Sonic the Hedgehog 4/Archive 1

Stop passing off rumours as fact

The article said that Metal Sonic was in the game, and that the iPhone was the fourth platform. Neither of these have been confirmed. The "citations" used to back up this statement were the official website, yet this information cannot be found there. Until this comes straight from the mouth of Sega, and can be cited as such, please don't include it in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.105.137.73 (talk) 23:40, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

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)

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)

Merge Disambiguation Page

I also support the merging of the Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (disambiguation) page into this main page (Sonic the Hedgehog 4). Most of what is stated on that page is speculation of what Sonic 4 really was, or are chronological descriptions, such as Sonic Triple Trouble being the fourth game on the Game Gear to star Sonic.

Also, I have a request for a citation for Nintendo DS on the front page. The main website for Sonic 4 only says that the game will be featured on the Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3. Thanks! Troyoda1990 (talk) 03:32, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Developer

I know Sega has confirmed it as Dimps but I find it strange that the teaser trailer shows a Sonic Team Logo. Also in the "leaked" gameplay footage. The "Sonic Team" logo is seen before the main menu. I find it very unusual, although it is possible that Sonic Team passed development to Dimps.KiasuKiasiMan (talk) 14:44, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Sonic Team could just be overseeing the project or something like that too. Not that that should be added to the article until it's confirmed, but something like that is possible. Sergecross73 (talk) 15:04, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Actually Sega of America hasn't yet confirmed that Dimps is developing or co-developing Sonic the Hedgehog 4. Here's the link for proof http://forums.sega.com/showthread.php?t=315257&page=2 NeoSkyte (talk) 03:21, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

This game is NOT using Euphoria

Wii doesn't support Euphoria The Rage Conspiracy (talk) 21:01, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, and as of right now that part of the article you're refering to is unsourced speculation, so it needs to be removed. (I'll do it.) Sergecross73 (talk) 21:43, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

What if this game fails?

Think about it; Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 was an epic failure, Sonic Unleashed failed miserably, so how might Sega screw this one up if they did?
