Perhaps I should clear up my initial reaction, the gameplay looks okayish for now, but I'm not feeling the character designs and I don't want THAT moving forward as main cannon.

Oh god.
It's essentially another sonic adventure game.
Well, I'm out. Shame that this "3 nintendo exclusives" deal turned out to be a complete waste of time.
I already bought one terrible sonic game for Wii U. As the saying goes, fool me once...

well as far as I recall, the wii U version of Sonic racing transformed sold the better than its ps3/360 counter parts so I guess Sega isn't really scared about developing Sonic games for Nintendo.
Anyways, those models look terrible, specially knuckles
This post might have been relevant a decade ago.

I'm in fucking tears here. Legit laughed out loud when that scene came up and the dubstep kicked in.
I've heard mixed things, was it really that bad? I'll probably pick it up sometime when I get a Wii U just cause I'm a Sonic fan and it looks like it could be fun.

What I'm seeing is another fractured experience that ultimately waters down the better aspects of the game. Along with that, I see them only using speed as set pieces for flash instead of integrating it into consistent gameplay.
I'll gladly be proven otherwise. I'm serious.
Well, they've certainly did something different this time around. I guess not even the most diehard fan actually expects anything good out of it.
Reverse cycle incoming? Maybe it will be a gem.

That was the best Knack trailer I've ever seen
It really wasn't that bad. It just wasn't on par with Colors and Generations, which were great.
Unleashed was good.
Colors was great.
Generations was excellent.
This Sonic Cycle/"Sonic has sucked for years now" bullshit needs to stop.

They might as well have gone all the way.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
It IS that bad.
I loved--LOVED--Colors and Generations. So much fun. I had high hopes. I played the game for an hour and then sold it. The controls are horrible, there's no real sense of speed, and it's incredibly frustrating. Just a terrible game. Biggest disappointment of last year for me.
Id need to see more honestly. The game could be alright in a Vexx/Dr Muto/*insert b-tier ps2 platformer here* sorta way
Still really disappointing after the last few titles but i dont think its "2006 levels of bad" or anything yet.

It's an on-rails platformer. Don't expect a Sonic and you'll only be mildly let down. It's more akin to the Sonic 2 Special Stage made into a full game. Except slower most of the time

It's mixed. Some people really like it, some people don't. I personally don't.
Agreed. I'm seeing nothing but the bad aspects of the adventure games.
Well, let's face it: Sonic is not really all that popular anymore and Sega wants to change that. What we think of the character designs is utterly irrelevant, since it's children who are supposed to like it. The remaining few Sonic fans of old haven't really helped making games like Sonic Generations a success, so it's time to try something more radical.
And, well. I still remember when Skylander's got announced. People complained about how incredibly ugly the characters looked like, were angry what they did to Spyro -- and we all know what happened. Kids love that shit endlessly.
Had to let it play through a couple times for the quality to increase, but I got these:
Little better quality shots I guess.

Hey, this looks really, really good. Not what you can see in the crappy video lefigaro. Looking forward for some good footage of the game.
I feel the same, I'm just being optimistic.
Sonic Team has issues with having good ideas and implementing them properly
Fortunately, Sonic Team is not working on this.
I'll wait until we see actual gameplay, and then probably eat crow, but I feel like another shot at the Sonic Heroes formula could be alright.
For great justice for my own observation, people please take note that footage of this game was already revealed in a CryEngine [3] sizzle, at least judging by the presence of the grass hut on stilts (which always reminded me of Jak, hah) surrounded by sunflowers.
They might as well have gone all the way.
Im LOL at work. Good one
Hm thats pretty sad to hear. I'll probably play it anyways just to form my own opinion.
But again, I'm so confused why they took the winning Unleashed formula and tossed it to the curb.

Not really, though there are flaws and it could have used more polish with the Parkour system.
To break the Sonic cycle they must first break the hope of even the most insane Sonic fans. Unfortunately, somehow people are finding a way to defend this godawful design. Don't act like this won't be the 13th annual "Sonic to Save Sonic Games!" game.
Yes, some of those games weren't terrible.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I wonder what former Sonic X-treme designer Christian Senn had to do with this game, if anything? He is or has worked at Big Red Button as a level designer:

Tails, how could they ]:
Oh neat - the art style is really reminiscent of Jak and Daxter. Looks like the game is more open world too?
no because who actually thinks this would save the wii u?!

I like the post but, it's been a lot more than 6 games.
At least Tails and Amy don't look as bad as Knucles and (to a lesser extent) Sonic.
