Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 Screens of Sunsets

9
Another new batch of screens for the Episode 1 of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 are here, showing the blue-bristled hero taking one of his leisurely sprints down by a beach at sunset.

In familiar Sonic fashion, the new episodic adventure, co-developed by Sonic Team and Sonic Rush developer Dimps, asks players to help Sonic scramble the plans of the nefarious Dr. Eggman. No word on the walrus. Goo goo ga joob.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 will see a downloadable release this Summer on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii, as well as a fourth unrevealed platform.

    Anyone else been in a store and heard the sonic ring-collecting chime from one of the cash registers? I think the dollar store over here does that. I've also heard the coin sound from Mario World.

      Yup - I've always wondered if it was coincidence (i.e., not the same sound but real similar) or if they licensed it from Sega, or if the cash register programmers just thought it was cool and no one's busted them for it yet.

      Yes I've heard that. It would be really neat if someone came out with the story on that one.

      That 'Sonic ring-collecting' sound is a sound that cash registers have been making for over a century. :p The first StH copied it from them.
