SEGA’s Sonic 4 Brand Manager Ken Balough has recently been answering queries regarding Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 at the publisher’s official forums and in his responses has teased when we can expect the first reveal for the game. In a post dated November 30th 2011, Balough says that after the new Sonic CD port launches this month, he will give a hint of where we will get the first reveal for Episode 2. In a post made today, Balough again states that once Sonic CD launches, he can give a “brief hint” about the game.

As for when I can talk about Ep 2? ahaha Its like making an announcement for an announcement. Most people are right – after CD launches, I’ll be able to dive and talk about Episode II. 🙂 In fact I’ll come on the forums and give you a hint of where you’ll get the first reveal.

Once CD launches, I can drop a brief hint on what you guys want to know 🙂
It seems SEGA has outdone themselves and made an announcement of an announcement of an announcement. Once Sonic CD launches, we’ll keep watch on the SEGA Forums and bring you SEGA’s first Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 news here.
“what you guys want to know ” Smells like better physics…..
*crosses fingers* YES!!!
My guess is a tie-in piece at the end of Sonic 4: Ep 2, maybe Metal Sonic flies away or something as a teaser?

Fixed that for you.
ANNOUNCEPTION
WE NEED TO GO DEEPER.
Yo dawg, we heard you like announcements, so we put announcements in your announcement, so you can announce while you announce!
I was just thinking about Episode 2 5 minutes ago in my morning shower 😀
Thank you SEGA~ my birthday just got a little more awesome
Tails! Tails! Give me Tails! (And I want a super form too.)
Super Flickies! We Need you! Come back to us!
FLICKY ARMY OF DEATH!!!!
Big The Cat is TOTALLY coming back.
Don’t even JOKE about that. O_o
This is an announcement as you truly imagined it!
Super Tails would be nice. Also, original levels and bosses would also be pretty great. And, maybe some tighter physics.
i want play tails in this episode and multyplayer mode
Silver replaces Sonic.
Silver the Hedgehog 4 – Episode 2.
*hides on a nuclear shelter*
*hides in a nuclear shelter*
Fixed. You certainly don’t want to be ON the shelter when the blitz start do you? =P
METAL
tails and knuckles as playable characters and the momentum is fixed.
that’s all I care about. xD
OMG! MARINE IS GONNA BE PLAYABLE?!?! ALL OF MY MONEHS
I just hope it has a race against Metal Sonic similar to SCD
I quite liked the “Boss” mechanic in Sonic Generations(for the Metal Sonic Race). I think that worked out well. What It’d also like to do is… play the whole game again as Metal Sonic. Or at least have him as an optional character…
^ This deserves a free internet.
I hope Tails is playable in Sonic 4 Ep 2 which would add replay value. Tails could fly and swim in Sonic 3&K. So he could reach areas that Sonic never could. Hopefully some under water levels in Ep 2.
Nothing against Tails, but I care far more about Knuckles being playable. During the Genesis days, I found him to be more fun to play as than both Sonic and Tails combined. Although, if it’s just Tails, I’ll be somewhat okay with that, since I’ve gotten pretty sick of Sonic being the only playable character in pretty much EVERY GAME since Sonic Next Gen/Sonic 2006.
Maybe thats why they called sonic games
i fully agree.
Maybe we’ll see the return of the peal-out (figure 8) from CD. Could they be using the physics from CD as a framework for episode 2?
Or from the Game Gear games. They had the peal-out, too.
They did?
Which ones?
