Incomplete version of Sonic 4: Episode 2 accidentally released, then pulled from Steam

sonic4ep2

An incomplete version of Sonic 4: Episode 2 was up for grabs on Steam earlier today, and quite a few members of the Sonic Stadium forum were able to download the game and give it a go before the hole in the system was patched up nice and tight. According to the forum users, time spent with the incomplete title was fun despite the obvious bugs, missing textures, and other issues you’d expect from an unfinished product. You can have a look at screen captures and a few more bits of media through the link. Via Koatku.

First Sonic and the Black Knight trailer is so not Legend of Sonic

sonicthehedghog.jpg

No, it’s definitely a Sonic game. Sonic darts, jumps, and spin-dashes through King Arthur’s domain, all the while running with something far worse than scissors. Thankfully, we’re fairly sure he corrected that little tripping problem he picked up during his tenure at Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Hopefully.

Check out the full trailer after the break.
