Very excited!

Haven't cared about a Sonic game since Generations, but hoping this is the one.

Ill be getting it day one, because Sonic, but Im not super hyped for this yet. It looks super bland for a start. And Sonic Team have done nothing to convince me they can make an open world game work.

I'd settle for it being as good as Colors!

Also I'm not sure if the limited footage is encouraging because at least they aren't trying to rush the game out like usual, or if it's discouraging because who knows when the game will come out!

Though I'm not a big open world guy, the idea of using Sonic's speed to traverse the map could sway me.

Still, this is Sega we're talking about. Gotta keep my guard up.

this game world looks like it was designed by an AI. just randomly floating platforms, rails, and bumpers strewn about randomly in a procedurally generated unreal engine world.

so it's clear this is just World 1 and it's not really open world but just big zones with Sonic themed attractions littered throughout

so in that way it's actually more like Bowser's Fury

I think it solves the problem though of traversing a big open area, Sonic just boosting around as fast he can to get to point to point is rad

I mean we've seen 8 minutes of the opening area which is probably a tutorial area letting you get used to the mechanics so I'm not casting judgment on the game based on just that

It would, if it looked like the world was built around that idea. Instead, it looks like youre supposed to meticulously explore it just the same as any other open world. It doesnt feel like a world made for Sonic, just a world Sonic is in, like dropping him into Horizon Zero Dawn or something.

Man, I don't know why we have this hyper realistic world. It's just not even interesting. He looks so out of place in it. Give us a world more in line with how he looks in the game.

Like yeah, it's just the tutorial level probably I just think they're going to lean way too into realism. The Sonic Adventure games did a better job mixing realistic with a cartoonist flair so he didn't look horribly out of place.

Also the Sonic Cycle hasn't applied for over a decade. This game may be bad but not for the reasons outlined in that chart.

Hmm maybe I'm the only person who thought this looked fun? I also haven't played a Sonic game since Adventure 2 so I'm not a blind fanboy or anything.

The random floating platforms and rails are a little odd but it's not any stranger than random floating platforms in a Mario game so it doesn't really bother me. Yeah it's at odds with the super realistic vibe they're trying to create but if it's fun I don't really mind.

I'm willing to withhold judgement at least for now!

Sonic Adventure 3 was actually Sonic 2006, Sonic Unleashed was Sonic Adventure 4.

This looks like it has potential but we need yo see more.

I'd says Heroes was Adventure 3 and '06 Adventure 4, if anything. One of the core concepts of the Adventure games is that you play the same story from different characters' points of view.

Whereas Unleashed is the first in the line of Sonic-only 3D games we've had since (with the exception of the CaC in Forces, I guess).

Hmmm, just watched the gameplay reveal and I can see the potential here, I just don't trust Sonic Team to nail it. Really gotta see more areas and if there's more interesting gameplay mechanics later on. I will say that little ability where Sonic creates a line path as he runs has a ton of potential, but they used it here to just put out some lanterns which was incredibly lame.

Did everyone forget Shadow the Hedgehog? (rhetorical, obviously you did)

That was a direct story sequel to SA2 and afaik had the same gameplay.

But they did capture the essence of Sonic Adventure in this game I think. The shitty open world from SA1 with janky physics and animations.

Why not an open world of Metal Harbor tier level design? It could've done what Catalyst did for Mirrors Edge.

Every open world from a single player IP did this. Some had a decent justification but even those are just following the money.
