abysmal character design
wrong coordinates for characters in cutscenes
clipping/collision issues
bad writing
poorly timed voiceovers
embarrassing shadows
shit looking environments
Lack of polish, lack of care, lack of ideas.

This is a game you don't want on your resume. Hope that Sanzaru atleast did a better job with the 3DS game.

Not as deep as he thinks
I am in tears. Thanks for sharing this.

Bahaha,.. man part of me's starting to feel bad for the developers now.
Some of the cutscenes are actually kinda nicely animated and humorous, though I hate how they've changed Knuckles and Amy. I have a feeling the animated show will be a lot more popular (with kids anyway).

So many wrong things in just 1 minute of footage:
-Knuckles clipping into an NPC in the middle of a cutscene.
-The ship entering and leaving has no sound or special effects to accompany it. It's literally just translating the object.
-The shadow for the ship being rendered at like 5 fps.
-Tails exclaiming that Lyric is attacking when no enemies show up.
-The ship disappearing before it goes completely out of sight.
I think I want to play this game just to see how much of a disaster it is lol.

This is literally the worst thing I've seen in a while. Has Sonic really found a newer low?

Sonic cycle is so reliable we should set daylight savings time by it.
It looks like the cutscene glitched. I imagine it was supposed to show the ship with a different camera, then cut to a scene showing enemies attacking. You weren't supposed to see the ship poof out of existence.
Oh wow, it runs at like 20 fps. I thought it was just the video encoding but, when they commented on it, the game jumped to a cutscene running at 30 fps instead. It's really that bad.
Considering it looks much worse than Lost World, which ran at 60 fps, I'm going to go ahead and say that CryEngine was a terrible terrible fit for the Wii U.

Ah, yes. The day one patch to fix the bug where the game is bad.
To be fair, Sonic 06 actually runs at 60 fps (mostly) while this runs at like 15 fps most of the time. I'd say Sonic 06 actually looks quite a bit nicer too in a lot of ways.
As I've gone through the thread I've seen so many people slamming SEGA, but SEGA didn't make this game...
Mostly 60 and 15 fps most of the time? This does not compute.

Not quite. No one was hyped for this game or thought it looked good to begin with.
BigRedButton. Making Sonic Team look REALLY good in comparison since 2014.
Game of the fuckin' Year...ValvexNaughtyDogxNintendo combo polish levels here
Looks as glitchy as sonic adventure 1/2, 2006 were.
Their name is on the box, and they have control of who they let make Sonic games.
I've always considered shovel ware game irresponsible to release, a quick buck for a product that puts many children off gaming as a whole after they see the quality of the game. It may not be harmful to the industry, but it limits its growth I would think.
So I'm pretty disappointed to see SEGA resorting to it, especially with their flagship franchise. I wish they'd put the effort in and properly funded this game. But I guess it would have been risky. Plus if I had to guess, SEGA maybe regrets their Nintendo partnership after the Wii U hasn't taken off, so they didn't see a reason to put effort into a game almost guaranteed to get low sales.

Sega are funding and publishing the game. They will have final say on a lot of things. It is a Sega game.
I was under the impression that SEGA pretty much gave them complete creative freedom from the interviews.
Teriaaaaa!

It's SEGA who decided that the game must be out now alongside the show despite the game clearly not being finished yet. If anything I would put more blame on Sega.
Isn't it scary that in hindsight Shadow the Hedgehog and 06 were not the worst of it?
Sounds like a mistake on Sega's part, then, doesn't it? I'm not sure why you want to absolve Sega from blame here. It's their flagship property, but you wouldn't know it with how they've treated it here.
In a way it feels like they were taken for a ride with this one not unlike the Colonial Marines situation. The lineage of Big Red Button would suggest that they might know a thing or two about platformers.

Their platformers, not Sonic, which by no means is your basic platformer.
Looks like it was made in RPG Maker
But anyway, this is beyond horrible. It will reach legendary bad status.
Eh. Even within its own franchise it has some big competition.

Sonic Generations was so good, and this looks like the exact opposite. Why you do this to me, Sega?
Holy shit
I was laughing so hard when knuckles killed the fly buzzing around. Everything from the clipping, to shadows, to animation. It set the whole mood for the rest of the game.

Love how there's a complete lack of urgency in the music as the enemy ship just gently and silently floats down, hovers for a few seconds, does nothing and then fucks off again.
GameGrumps need to get their hands on this game ASAP.

I thought of it more as him trying to fight the non-existent enemies, but that works too!
My other favorite part lol
It's clear that they were trying to make something different from a normal Sonic game, and that could have been OK, but they seem to have failed.
...............................Ya know....looking back, Sonic 06 wasn't that bad. Yeah, y'know, I think we just gave it hard time

Who was the target audience for games like Sonic Generations, Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze etc...?
Because not only were they all great, but I thought they looked great before I played them.
This game however, looks like a big sweaty turd regardless of who it's aimed at.

while there's nothing wrong with being different, its more like they tried to drag the series to their comfort zone in design. Which isn't really strong enough to carry a Sonic game imo.

I will never understand why this terrible franchise has such devout supporters.
