This Sonic 4 level looks awfully painful to play
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 46 Comments
A bunch of footage from Sonic 4: Episode 1 has been leaked online, but there’s one level in particular that is receiving quite a bit of attention. For reasons I can’t understand, SEGA decided to include some sort of mine cart level in the game that involves rotating the screen and jumping. Unfortunately, it seems like that portion of Sonic 4 will be irritating to complete.
Thanks to Cawdoor for the news tip!

Conduit 2 online mutliplayer features discussed
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 6 Comments
“It is true. They rock. We have bi-weekly company multiplayer sessions – moving forward with the foundation we laid with TC1 was great in that multiplayer worked from Day 1 of development – which has allowed us to iterate and test a lot of new things…as well as shooting our company management in the face. New weapons, maps, and game modes are no-brainers – but we’ve additionally spent a lot of extra attention on making the experience more rewarding and nuanced for players. A class system is in place where you can set distinct weapon load-outs to include suit upgrades (perks). Weapon sets are a thing of the past. We’ve added a sprint button. Teammates can be revived. In addition to the level rank and ELO matchmaking systems, we have an additional currency system that lets you purchase upgrades, be they weapon and suit upgrades, or different armor pieces to customize your character’s look. On the art front, we’ve more fully embraced the sci-fi, and have a lot more variety in our environments. TC1 multiplayer was a lot fun – but a bit basic. We’re changing that with Conduit 2.” – Josh Olson, producer
“While we are very proud of the online multiplayer action in Conduit 1, we are working very hard to provide a complete multiplayer gaming experience in Conduit 2 by offering more unique gameplay modes, unlockables, perks, character customization, and we are not limiting ourselves to online only any longer. Gamers will be able to compete online and offline via splitscreen and we are very excited about that.” – David Pellas, Conduit 2 developer
It sounds like the actual features behind Conduit 2’s online experience will be great. I’m just a bit worried about what happened with hackers and glitches and the first title. If those issues can be ironed out in the sequel, the online experience will be much more enjoyable.
