Sonic Team isn't making Sonic 4
Alex Tretrop
In another surprising, but pleasant, move by Sega, Sonic Team, the developers of most of the Sonic the Hedgehog games from the old 2D classics to his terrible escapades in 3D, won't be making Sonic 4 if the game's Xbox LIVE marketplace page is to be believed.
While the game will still be published by Sega, the game will be headed by developer Dimps. While this may sound like a horrible idea at first, we have to remember that Dimps developed Sonic Rush and Sonic Advance, two Sonic games that have gone back to their 2D roots on the DS and Gameboy Advance respectively and received generally positive reviews.
This sounds like a great idea to me, Sonic Team probably would have screwed it up again. They got closer with what made Sonic so good in Sonic Unleashed but it still wasn't there, with terrible "were-hog" segments that turned the game into a nightmare to play. Considering that Dimps has experience making some good Sonic games, I think we can rest assured that Sonic 4 is in very good hands.
