  1. Well apparently one of the reasons for making it more action orientated is:

     

    We don't want people to be sacrificing their understanding of the story and their enjoyment of the environment because they're always so scared.

     

    What a load of bollocks.


  2. 2. Ice Cap Zone Act 1 - Sonic 3

    Broadcast Yourself

    I don't think I've heard a piece of music in gaming that conveys the feeling of an icy cavern as much as this one. It's so damn catchy too, this remains one of my favourite pieces of gaming music of all time.

     

    Except maybe the one from Donkey Kong Country :wink:


  3. but prefer sonic and knuckles to all :)

     

     

    No no! Sonic 3 owns it, I mean, it had Michael frikkin Jackson. It was much more up tempo and as tapedeck said, Hydrocity is a work of genius.

     

    Don't get me wrong I love Knucles soundtrack, it just seems to plod along a bit, like Mushroom Hill and Sandopolis. Although Death Egg is a hilight!


  4. Really? I thought overall Sonic 3 did a better job of the soundtrack, it was 'braver' with its sound. Hydrocity is just abosolutely made of win.

     

    Saying that Chemical Plant is probably the best of the lot.

     

    EDIT: Saying that I just listened to a few of the supposed Sonic 4 soundtrack and well, damn, what a step back. The boss music is truly awful.


  5. OK I am have some serious troubles with my copy of the game. It's only started happening recently but my xbox crashes after about 10 mins of playing. It cuts off and two red rings (top two) start blinking, I then have to pull out the plug and put it back in to start it.

     

    Weird thing is this only happens on multiplayer (and on no other game). Anyone else experience this?


  6. The demo is up on Live has anyone tried it?

     

    I can't help but feel slightly disappointed, for all the development time it has had it just feels (and looks) like a stealthier Gears of War. The controls feel a bit fiddly and i'm just a little tired of seeing the Unreal 3 engine.

     

    I have faith in the full game though :grin:


  7. You get docked points for team kills and defender objective destroys on normal mode as well.

     

    Ah so you do get punished for destroying your own Rush bases?

     

    I bloody well hope so cos i've played a few where one of my team mates would just stand there and blast our own base, I mean WHY, where does the satisfaction come from?


  8. Black Dynamite

    Having just broken into the White House ("Honky House"), Black Dynamite confronts Richard Nixon. Nixon promptly reaches for the presidential nunchucks (complete with presidential logos on the handles). After a bit of a nunchuck melee, both Black Dynamite and Nixon drop their nunchucks and start fighting with broken plates. Enter the first lady, who shoots the plate Black Dynamite is holding, telling him to "Take your filthy black hands off the presidential dinnerware, you moon-cricket!" . Black Dynamite proceeds to punch the first lady into the china cabinet. Nixon reaches for the presidential flintlock piston, only for the ghost of Abraham Lincoln to judo chop the gun out of his hand. After giving Nixon an ass whoopin, he apologises to the first lady: "First Lady, I'm sorry I pimp slapped you into that china cabinet."

     

    Best end fight EVER.

    Dude, where did you watch this??!! I can't find it anywhere and I need to see it soo bad. (even if it's online on some dodgy site)


  9. I'm also loving the battle system, yet everything else (running around the field etc) just isn't that great. It really is too linear and I miss adventuring to random towns, mingling with the locals.

     

    I hope they go for a more traditional angle (or a radical change around) for the inevitable sequel (XV).


  10. I'm slowly forcing my way through the campaign because

     

    1. it's not very good and

    2. multiplayer is piss-my-pants excellent

     

    BUT i've just come accross this mahoooosive desert level (with the castle in the middle) and duuuude, this needs to be a multiplayer map (albeit not quite as huge), it's so epic!

     

    Give it to us EA!!


  11. I've been playing it for about half hour too and so far it's pretty bland, i'm literally just running forward occasionally pressing A. I'm sure it'll get more interesting I just need to stick with it.

     

    The thing that annoys me the most though about the 360 version is that the cutscenes (both FMV and in-game) don't seem to be in HD! Talk about low res!


  12. Damnit! I didn't have much fun with the first two DLCs (mainly because I couldn't find any players, doing it solo is no fun), so I sold the game.

     

    Then they release this arghhhh.
