http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPk1HBNI6DQ&feature=player_embedded Sega promised to post a teaser trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 2 today. That they did. However, there is no gameplay. There are a few teases of things to come however. Metal Sonic has been confirmed as an antagonist (hinted via connections to Sonic CD). Tails will also be involved in some ways, likely as a partner character similar to Sonic 2 (perhaps in playable form, we'll see). Prior to this teaser, it had been rumored that Episode 2 would heavily improve the physics engine to be more like those for Classic Sonic in Generations. Also with the rumor came word of "less glossy" visuals. In an interview with Sega's Ken Balough (nice mustache btw), he confirmed that the game would indeed receive improved physics as well as visuals. We shall soon see what this means specifically. Many fans were turned off by the physics in Episode 1 (as has been a common complaint with Sonic games for most of the last decade). You can check the source below for the full interview. Sonic 4 Episode 2 has a tentative release of simply "2012". In the logos, it has been confirmed that it will be coming via download to Xbox Live, Playstation Network, as well as the Android Market, iOS App Store, and even the Windows Phone. It should be noted that no logo was found for WiiWare. It is possible it could still hit WiiWare, but is unannounced at this time. However, it may be due to the incoming release of the Wii U. At any rate, stay tuned for more information.
