On Leaked Soundtracks and Writing

So, the Sonic 4 Episode 1 Soundtrack has somehow leaked it's way onto the net. I've had a listen and well, what can I say? While there are a couple of outstanding tracks overall, the quality of the tracks as a whole is painfully average. And that's before we even get started on the terrible synth work - soundfonts that make Motoi Sakuraba's worst days look like flashes of genius.

Something about his face just isn't right in this render...

Though, like I said, there are high points. Namely, Lost Labyrinth Zone Act 2, the Invincibility Theme and Mad Gear Zone Act 3, which somehow sounds like it would fit perfectly for both Metropolis Zone and Flying Battery Zone. Can't wait to hear the remixes of that one, that's for sure.

It could be worse...

On a more positive note, I've finally managed to overcome my writers block. So that's good at least. And now that's done, I'm gonna continue with my plan to destroy the world. :3

p.s. I was going over the list of characters that definitely won't appear in Sonic the Hedgehog 4 and noticed something. No mention of Tails, Knuckles, or Cream. Given that she's appeared in 3 of the 5 Dimps Sonic games thus far, I can't help but wonder, (and hope lol.)
