Sonic Gameplay Reveal is here

This looks incredibly boring

nice tech demo

Wtf is this

Holy fuck it looks horrible.

hamster wheel = ubisoft tower??

I'm really not excited at all. it genuinely looks like a SEGA HIRE THIS MAN-tier shitpost pulled together in UE4 in 2 hours by some jobber.

Boosts, rails, and bounce pads: The game

It looks so fucking janky wtf

It unironically looks HIRE THIS MAN tier. If you told me this was some fanmade Unreal engine demo I'd have believed it.

It doesnt look very good. The animations need A LOT of work as well as sonics model. Looks more like a tech demo or fan game made in unreal engine instead of a actual game.

They better have actual Sonic music in the game

The mix of sad BotW violins and the cartoon BLING BLING BOING BOING is very unintentionally funny

Is that it?
That's the entire showcase?

I’m not feeling it, looks janky as hell

I'll admit it the world looks visually pleasing but good lord that framerate and Jank... It's coming on Switch too right? it looks like the Switch would have a damn hard attack running this.

So there's a bunch of very easy puzzles scattered around a giant Unreal Engine field?

Lads, Sega hired that man.

look like ass

Sonicbros.. I don't feel so good..

SEGA

It looks like a bad botw clone fangame.

I'm giving this 10/10! It really followed Elden Ring's path!

>hired by SEGA
cool plot twist

This is what someone would make if you described (not showed) Breath of the Wild to Sonic Team and asked them to imitate it.

They are copying the BOTW down to the type of music and it doesn't fit at all.
I hate on rails boost shit, but this seems like a step in the opposite direction, in the worst way

This game looks like a mod.

sonicfags are abortions that unfortunately didn't happen

This looks like fucking shit. A giant empty map of things for Sonic to run on.
Where's the fucking soul? Where's anything? What the fuck was that.

>that pop in

Absolutely beautiful level design sonic team, lets just have a bunch of rails and platforms suspended in the air
I can't believe sonic team found a way to rollercoaster an open world game by putting rails everywhere, truly they are pushing the limits of what games can do

Attached: file.png (1920x951, 1.35M)

It's actually fucking over, Sonic as a video game franchise is fucking dead for real this time.

The animations are fucking terrible. For a game that looks like it's going to be nothing but Sonic running and jumping around it's pretty inexcusable for the running and jumping to look so stiff and lifeless.

Attached: 1585199797987.jpg (321x242, 18.2K)

BOTW really was a disaster for the video game industry

>elden ring clone

There is zero fucking momentum in this game. Sonic moves at the same speed running down a slope or grinding UP a rail.

Attached: 1574298180307.png (215x231, 119.07K)

The single upside to this game, is the potential mod support of swapping in different (and better) open worlds.
Think stuff like Peach's Castle modded in instead of starfall.

>wallrunning is limited to specific surfaces
Hey, that's better than expected, it doesn't seem to need a button prompt.
Low bar, I know.

Sonic Utopia is what this game should be.
It's a large sandbox, not an open world, the aesthetics look like they belong in sonic, there are actual enemies.

Sonic needs to be SANDBOX like Tony Hawk pro skater, not a big as fuck open world

this looks like a proof of concept Alpha. and its supposed to come out this year?!?

why do they think it was a good idea to show this to the public?

looks pretty good. The part's where the world digitally come's to life look great.

shitty animation (dat walk)
rail everywhere
no physics
controls seems stif as fuck

yup, it's shit as always

Okay this is amazing!

even utopia was a little too big
i think GT is a good template for how the level design should work in 3d

I know it's a tired joke, but it literally looks like some shit a college undergrad would throw together in unreal and post on youtube.

they unironically hired that man

EVERYONE THINKS THE GAME IS BORING BECAUSE ALL THE GUY DID WAS RUN AROUND DOING KOROK PUZZLES THERES OTHER SHIT TO DO WHERE’S THE KAIJUU FIGHTS WHERE’S THE HYPERSPACE LEVELS
THERE’S MORE TO THE GAME THAN KOROK PUZZLES I SWEAR

>tease different combat style throughout the teaser
>release gameplay trailer
>do not show combat even ONCE
what the fuck ? i know what sonic looks like when running. i expected the open world sections to be like this. show me either the different combat or the cyberspace levels sega damn

>that framerate
>that pop in
>that obviously moving as slow as possible to try to soften the blow
all the retards saying this looks good dont realize how easy it is to make graphics like that, especially when its this unoptimized

Let's look on the bright side, if we've learned anything from sonic team over the past decades its that the formula will probably change next game.
1 blunder isn't that bad...right?

Why didn't they just look at Mario Odyssey and copy that?

Sonic Team, if you make a BOTW clone you shouldn't just MARK all the activities with a GIANT QUESTION MARK you can do in your empty free run world. They're supposed to be discovered by exploring.

Can they do anything right? Holy shit.

We are never getting sonic physics again are we and it looks like going to ball form wont be in

there’s literally robot alien enemies and huge towers and landmarks everywhere hello? of all the things you can criticize you picked things that are actually in the game?

>that fucking framerate
>all that jank they just left in
this game is gonna tank

reminder

based tetoposting

Yeah, what was up with that? I hate to say it, but it reminded me of Balan

So they took a Xenoblade Chronicles map, put Sonic in it, put rails, boost pads and springs everywhere and covered the world in insipid puzzles like "step on the lights" and "turn the statue."
I can't believe they actually thought this was okay to show.

>wide open environment with nothing going on
>no real level design
>clashing assets
>janky animations
It's every sonic fan game lmao

Agreed.

It looked VERY rough. Like Pokémon Arceus tier rough but that game turned out decent so who knows

Sega does what Nintendon't

Probably because if they showed the combat, people would figure out it was just 'Mash Attack' with maybe a super move.

>Absolutely beautiful level design sonic team, lets just have a bunch of rails and platforms suspended in the air
Why did it take you 30 years to get upset about this?

this unironically looks like the "hire this man" unreal engine demos lmao

>if we've learned anything from sonic team over the past decades its that the formula will probably change next game.
The problem is that they don't stick with a formula, to keep refining it. The formula that started in Rush, was good to the point they kept doing it till Generations, then they threw it out the window for Lost World.

lmao they can literally slap a pso2 character in the environment and it won't look out of place

This looks so fucking bad. Whoever posted GT yesterday showed me the best 3D Sonic besides SRB2.

>same pop-in issues that happens in modded sonic generations maps
lol

>No physics
Aside from all of the obvious problems, this is the real killer right here. Sonic has always been about learning how to utilize the environment to your advantage. Figuring out how to interact with slopes and ramps in a way that allows you to achieve maximum speed, to avoid obstacles with confidence and grace. That's what set the series apart from other platformers at the time. It's what makes the Sonic games fun: learning how to go fast. This shit? This isn't fun. There's nothing to learn. You just hit the boost button and move in a straight line with your horrendous turn radius until you hit a spring or a boost pad that puts you on a pre-determined path and you solve a puzzle from a mobile game ad.

Why isn't his arms blue?

holy shit generations didnt have momentum? Isnt that a bare minimum for a sonic game? i havent played a sonic game since rush, i didnt know it got this bad. why do people still defend sonic team?

It wasn't fucking decent, that game was just as empty.

I'm fucking speechless.

HOW is it that sonic games are so shit every time? Is the team really just that bad??

Why did they go with that art style, why do they keep going for realism. Should've copied the art from that one >hire this man prototype.

lmfao

Attached: Sonic Pop In.webm (1280x720, 2.9M)

When does this come out? That performance was bad
Also they could have shown more than puzzles and walking around to get people excited cause those are 2 things that don't

HIRE THIS MAN!

expecting physics is super wishful thinking at this point
my only hope for this is that it would at least be a decent boost style game, but thats clearly not gonna be the case
im more excited for project advanced and other fangames than literally anything sonic team is making

Yeah because its boostshit and 2d didn't have it too

youtu.be/cxJ5_ovBC_g?t=149
Can you make a webm of this, I'm too lazy to do it.

How is Sonic Team not defunct yet, give sonic to any other sega studio and they'd probably do a better job

Fuck, that looks great.
Why is sonic team so fucking incompetent?

This is a joke, right? Sega is pranking us. They're showing this like the ugly Sonic thing then later this month, they'll say, "hahaha, only joking" and will show us the real game. Right?

>it genuinely looks like a SEGA HIRE THIS MAN-tier shitpost pulled together in UE4 in 2 hours by some jobber
Exactly how I felt watching it

those rails just floating on the map are ugly af

The game itself isn't the problem, it's how bad people fellated it. It was an "okay" game with plenty of flaws and a lot of room for improvement (hopefully improvements that they make in the sequel), game journalists and Nintendo brand mercenaries inflated its worth by touting it as the game of the decade.

>trusting IGN to showcase your game
>EVER

Dont they actively hate Sonic

Sonic Team hasn't used actual physics in years, their level design just uses boost pads out the ass to have you go max speed for "cool" setpieces

i’m still going to buy this game

Can Nintendo please buy Sega?

holy kek

The open world game you sonicucks have always been bitching about wanting

Attached: 15532234.jpg (707x682, 73.63K)

sonic if he unreal engine

You wouldn't want it for the way levels are designed in that game. It's better for open maps like the one in the demo (i.e. Adventure games). You'd just be ramming your head into the nearest wall as you uncontrollably careen off of bridges every 20 seconds.

Now let’s see
>Looks like a tech demo
>Looks like they hired this man
>Looks like it was made in Unreal
>Awful pop-in
>Gameplay looks boring
>Empty open world
>That boost sound effect every 5 seconds
>Trying to be BotW down to the plinky plonky music

What the fuck were they smoking.

Based This Mann, I always knew that one day he'll make it in the big leagues.

sonic

The worst thing is that the top YouTube comments are all praising it.

>5 seconds in and there's already pop-in
Oh boy

>SHIT ROCK YEAH

>empty map
What is considered a "filled map" to you retards then?

Why does it take so long to run fast?

Why is the level design pure nonsense?

how is it sonic fangames still absolutely shit on actual sonic games

kid fucking around in mario maker tier

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE GUI, SEGA

why is the sense of speed so horrible

1. Do you want a boost/run button back?

2. It's not a level in the traditional sense.

>Same terrible anti-platforming jump weight
>Boosting
No

>What is considered a "filled map" to you retards then?
it's not "empty" it just is filled with no purpose

Like it's a flat unreal engine plain and they stuck a bunch of boost pads and springs around for no reason besides to have something in the world

It's like all the bad parts of modern Sonic AND Botw put together.
Wouldn't be surprised if Sega somehow incorporates weapon durability.

Because Generations was the first mainline game after 06, it got undue praise because 06 left such a bad taste in everyone's mouths. Sega thought that direction for Sonic was okay.
