Sonic the Hedgehog 4 trailer in HD

And some high-res screenshots for your magnifying glass
Here's that Sonic the Hedgehog 4 trailer in lovely HD - giving you a better look at Sega's retro-style revival of old-school Sonic.

The episodic sidescroller was unvieled yesterday for Xbox Live Arcade, PSN and WiiWare.

We've also taken some screen caps from the brief glimpse of the game for you to put under a microscope like the nostalgic fanboy you know you are. Enjoy...

do we really need that smoke coming off him?

looks nice and faithful to the originals though.

See this is all they needed to do to keep the franchise going!
Thank god its not another Heroes or unleashed type game!
Looks pretty awesome actually, I grew up on the first 3 so I think ill have a lot of fun playing this

It looks great and I am happy that it is now in 2D. However, I am slightly worried about this episode business. I don't want to have to shell out for every couple of levels. Confused

If the whole game comes to over £20, then I'm doing a Duncan Bannatyne.

Unless they tell us how many episodes there will be from the beginning, how would you be able to tell?

for a character thats all about speed, theres a severe lack of motion blur!

It has to be said that the run animation is absolute p**s

its this idea that dragged sonic games into the gutter.

once he prangs off a spring or something you'll see motion blur.

he shouldnt be buzzing around as standard though, its a platformer.

You just can't please some people. For years you've been asking for this and now it's been shown off theres still critisism being thrown toward it. unbelieveable.

Just been on the website (sonicthehedgehog4.com) and at the top it says "coming summer 2010 to XBLA, PSN, WiiWare AND ???".

iPhone me thinks!
supersonic91 on 5 Feb '10
I wonder if Tails and Knuckles will be playable
supersonic91 on 5 Feb '10
ahhh parallax scrolling, those where the days when that used to be the height of gamin technology.

I'll pick this up, glad it's a DLC game, not so glad it'll come in instalments though.

I agree. For crying out loud people we're finally getting a new 2D Sonic game. Should we really care about puffs of smoke or lack of motion blur. I dno't because this looks freaking brilliant!

You might call me a whinger but, after seeing all the lovely 2D animation, the 3D model was a bit dissapointing.
Leighdoc again on 5 Feb '10
There's already been 2 on the ds. This one looks similar to rush. Which is no bad thing. just so long as they get the pacing of the levels right it'll be brill.
WHERESMYMONKEY on 5 Feb '10
I was interested, till it said "Episode 1"
AegisK on 5 Feb '10
Im keen...Sonic 2D till i die!
Just as a thought when 3D tv's are IT! A 2D Sonic but with 3D glasses especially for the trade mark spiral/cork screw thing! Just a thought...hmmm?
