Is that Stardust Speedway with the robot plants?!

Sir_Crocodile · May 30, 2017

Fantastic trailer, love the b/w animation and the music.

Yep,

Looks like SS Past to me. I didn't notice it straight off.

LongDongJunon · May 30, 2017

Uhh this was cute as hell.

btw TOOT-TOOT SONIC WARRIOR MUTHAFUCKA

DNAbro · May 30, 2017

That's a really good trailer.

Platy · May 30, 2017

Cute reference to sonic origins, AWESOME animation and LOL at the SOnic 4 erasure xD

Neoxon · May 30, 2017

I really love the Sonic CD animation style, it's good to see it back for this.

BluenoseGames · May 30, 2017

Can't wait, love me some Sonic!
Wish there was a physical release though

Danny Dudekisser · May 30, 2017

If they want me to preorder it, they'll announce a physical copy for the Switch.

Beautiful animation in it's classic style.

Why is the trailer 30fps though.

NoctisVsStar · May 30, 2017

Sonic is back.

Sega doesn't seem to upload 60fps trailers to their YouTube channel.

MrBadger · May 30, 2017

The animation and music is so perfect. I also really like the trash compactor in Flying Battery

It was obvious that they'd pick Stardust Speedway for this, but now I'm curious whether the entire stage will be set in that beautiful past backdrop (I'm fine with that) or will the stage have time travel? And I wonder if Metal Sonic's kicking about somewhere. We've seen several imitations of the Sonic CD race so I wouldn't object to him sitting this game out.

MetalSlug · May 30, 2017

It's cheaper than I expected at only £15.

dr_p0p7ar7_ · May 30, 2017

1, 2, 3, Knuckles, Mania. RIP 4.

Hasney · May 30, 2017

The elevator with 1 2 3 K and M buttons (FUCK 4) was perfect.

Day 1 on Switch baybeee

NinjaCoachZ · May 30, 2017

Amazing trailer. Cannot wait for this game. Everything about it just looks so, sooo good.

Diablohead · May 30, 2017

Sonic 4 was just a bad dream

Baleoce · May 30, 2017

Awesome trailer.

Neoxon · May 30, 2017

So are we getting animated cutscenes, & did the Sonic CD animation team come back for them & the ones in this trailer?

Merc_ · May 30, 2017

Looks wonderful.

I love that they're using the Sonic CD animation style.

Probably not bar an intro that this can be and it's not Sonic CD. The description in the video says who did it.

Ozone · May 30, 2017

I also loved the elevator buttons signifying this is the true successor to Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Got to play this game at PAX East, and it controls exactly how you want it to.

August 15th can't come soon enough!

This was done by Tyson Heese, who worked on the Sonic comics (including the recent Classic Sonic one-off Sonic: Mega Drive, which looks basically identical to this).

@kinucakes, lead animator on Skullgirls also contributed.

PandaPedinte · May 30, 2017

I need this so much!

SaviourMK2 · May 30, 2017

What about Sonic CD? Did they retcon that too?

Dead End Irony · May 30, 2017

GOTY contender here. Mark my words!

I really hope we get to hear Stardust Speedway Good Future in this game.

RampagingSoul · May 30, 2017

Pretty cool trailer. Excited for the game. Wish it was physical, but I'm still interested in the game and hope it turns out well.

Geg · May 30, 2017

I'm not even a sonic fan and that trailer got me hyped

oneida · May 30, 2017

this trailer is amazing.

Agreed, trying to keep my expectations low. Sonic Cycle can't always be accurate, right?

I think we all know the sonic cycle ended when this was announced.

Unless we call it the 3D sonic cycle

woopWOOP · May 30, 2017

That's some lovely animation

Killer plant stage looks neat

Empyrean Heaven · May 30, 2017

I love how at the end the trailer says that basically this is the true Sonic 4.

Sonic CD has always been a kinda parallel universe Sonic 2.

Jazzem · May 30, 2017

Also, great touch at 0:11 referencing one of the pre-Sonic designs they were considering for a mascot

Kyne · May 30, 2017

screams Sonic Boom

let's go boyz

AaronMT86 · May 30, 2017

I really can't decide which platform to get this for (Switch, PC, PS4). Any visual benefit on PC?

Sonic Cycle went away for a really long time but ironically it looks to be back in full swing for Forces. Bummer, but at least we have Mania which looks amaaaaaaazing.

I would be extremely surprised if the game doesn't look essentially identical on all platforms.

I imagine only in the sense of improved CRT/scanline filter options possible via SweetFX or other software, though to be fair the base game may already have something similar.

MarkusRJR · May 30, 2017

Wow the game looks so good. So hyped to play both this and Sonic Forces. Haven't been this excited for a Sonic game since Generations.

Also at the end of the trailer it says digital pre-orders are up, does that include Switch?

What's wrong with Sonic Forces? If it's about the custom character creator, don't the custom characters just play like normal Sonic? Wouldn't surprise me if they were completely optional imo.

EDarkness · May 30, 2017

Damn, that was a nice trailer. I was already interested in the game, but that trailer made me even more so. August 15th isn't that far off, either.

Ristifer · May 30, 2017

Incredible trailer. I am beyond pumped for this game.

I'll be going PC for cheaper price (most likely) and the better controller. Wish I could get it on Switch but no thanks @ playing a 2D game on an analog stick.

Azure Phoenix · May 30, 2017

Oh man, they used the Sonic The Movie artstyle for this trailer. Turns out the best people to be working on Sonic games are the fans themselves.
