Could SONIC 4: EPISODE II be out within the next month or so? The ESRB seems to think so as it's gotten it's official rating from the certification board. "E For Everyone" is the rating (did you expect Shadow and his uber epic E-10+ rating?). But what's funny here is actually what the ESRB posted as the rating summary:

Quote:
This is a side-scrolling adventure game in which Sonic the Hedgehog and his fox-like sidekick team up to defeat their arch-nemesis, Dr. Eggman. As players zoom through fantastical landscapes, they collect items (e.g., gold rings and power-ups), avoid hazards, and jump on robots to free the animals trapped inside. Boss fights occur infrequently, and are accompanied by colorful impact effects.


Even SEGA isn't afraid of damned retcons. Now Miles "Tails" Prower, is no longer a fox. Instead he is a "fox-like" creature. Boss fights occur infrequently (I guess once every three stages isn't enough, or the rater was being an asshole) and it's accompanied by colorful impact effects.

Is it just me, or does the whole summary almost sound like the ESRB played the first level and gave up? In fact, if you read almost any other ESRB rating summary for any of the Sonic game's on the site. They all have the same line in common. EVERY ONE OF THEM SAYS:

Quote:
As players zoom through fantastical landscapes, they collect items


All the summaries do, is change the characters involved, and what leads up to, and proceeds this sentence. Rather lazy indeed.

ESRB Rating in case you like reading what you just read in an official capacity.

Maybe this is nitpicking, but I would always classify Tails as Fox-like.

Last I'd heard, ESRB doesn't even play the games, they just review a list of content accompanied by a video demonstrating all the could-be-considered-offensive-by-some content, submitted to them by the developers. At least that's how it was unveiled they did shit when that GTA San Andreas Hot Coffee mod made everyone lose their shit.

A BUNCH of new SONIC 4: EPISODE II images released yesterday. This one stands out because it kills two things at once. In the foreground, my love of the classic games is mocked and sodomized... In the background, we can see Little Planet... So they also created a double-whammy and try to rape SONIC CD.

Is it just me or is it like Metal Sonic is far ahead of them, mocking them... Almost as a clever aside from SONIC TEAM. "Lawl.. Look at this game trying to catch the classics! Fuck you!!"

My soul died....

I dunno, I think they at least got the graphics right this time around. Also, online Tails co-op? Fuck yeah.

Yeah, the graphics look much better this time. In Episode I, something always felt off... Or cheap.

Isn't this how the graphics in EPISODE I looked before they slapped that SONIC RUSH cell-shading filter over it?

Episode 1 looked like a shitty flash game.

This actually looks decent.

Doesn't look like they've done much with the physics. I pass.

:whew: With Generations not getting as much of a bitch fest, I was worried.

Shitty Sonic is back for non-fans to laugh at!

And the physics are still fucked. Not as fucked, but fucked nonetheless. Welp.

I do like the 69 move Sonic and Tails can do now.

I know I've been in the Sonic fan community too long when this statement no longer shocks and revolts me.
