I watched 7 minutes of footage and have no idea what the player is supposed to accomplish. Is this just a big collectathon spread across an open world map? Are Sonic's abilities going to be put to good use in this game? Will there be enemies or NPC's? What do the items do? Will there be ****ing fall damage?

It looks exactly as I feared. Where is the character/personality/purpose? It looks like a tech demo showing off mechanics out of context. They're burrowing from other games tonally but none of this sits with Sonic's universe and the open world looks aimless

Technically this looks like it needs another year at least, lot of blips in the collision detection.

You wish x360 and ps3 can release an open world game with those visuals

Skyrim looks better. There are also many other games that look better. The resolution will of course be lower on the old consoles. But that was sarcasm on my part anyway. The graphics in the trailer are an absolute disaster.

U need to load it back again as skyrim doesn't even come close. Not even the latest upgraded version of skyrim

I don't know how I feel about this.

The mechanics seem good, and this area at leas seems free from technical glitches except for some pop in. But, what's the point? What is Sonic trying to accomplish? Without knowing that, it's hard to say whether the concept works or not.

When will they bring back the "1Up" sound from Sonic 1 & 2? That was the best jingle ever. Btw, the game doesn't look that bad but geez, can't remember last time I saw an open word that empty.

This game looks like it needs a long delay, doesn't look anywhere near ready for a release this year.

Looks like they're using stock assets.
