Yes they are going to be released as "episodes", but they should all be full games. Think of it as like the release of Sonic and Knuckles. That game was a continuation of Sonic 3 but still had a standard amount of zones to play.
Yeah so I'm pretty
I'm a fat-***
It was supposed to be one game. But sega ran out of time. So they released Sonic 3 first.Thats why you can plug Sonic & Knuckles in Sonic 3 and play Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
I general I'd say I agree 98% with Grandy's post above.
. . .have that rainbow unicorn in your back pocket. . .
Nah, or are you saying Sonic 2 & Knuckles also was supposed to be one game?
The lock-on technology was actually a way of making up for the fact that the developers could not meet the deadline for Sonic 3. Originally, Sonic 3 was to be released with Knuckles as a playable character, and with all the Sonic & Knuckles levels playable (the level select screen in Sonic 3 features inaccessible Sonic & Knuckles levels and music for said levels can be played in the sound test; the Knuckles-only routes through the Sonic 3 levels can also be accessed via the debug mode). Time constraints forced them to split the project in two, releasing Sonic 3 with the completed levels and continuing work on the uncompleted ones, plus adding the Super Emeralds, and the lock-on feature.
Wait... Sega doesn't suck...?You don't actually.... believe that... do you?
