"I think the best way to view it is as a first part in a much larger adventure. When Sega released Sonic 3, ultimately it was the part 1 of a story that saw its conclusion in Sonic & Knuckles. In that same spirit, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is a bigger story, and this is that first chapter. I think it's also safe to say that by the end of the episode one, fans will be very excited to see what's in store for episode two!"
Although he didn't outright deny or confirm it, considering that S4E1 will be delivered to the PS3, 360, and Wii via download -- combined with the glaring fact that it says "Episode 1" in the title -- I'm going to use my investigatory journalism skills to infer that it will in fact be episodic in nature. Now whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is probably in the eye of the beholder. But I for one couldn't be more excited to see Sonic going back to his 2D roots, episodic or not. Especially when you take into account that on the 360 and PS3 the beloved needlemouse will be tearing it up in full HD.
Dust off your red sneakers and
thigh-high running shorts, because Sonic's (hopefully) glorious summer release is just around the
corner.
