Who in their right mind thought it would be cool to have relaxing piano music in a Sonic action combat phase?

Is this being played by an IGN guy? It feels like whoever is playing this is doing a bad job showing the game off.

I LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! He has a nice set of combat moves. This game won't be for everybody, but it's sure as hell for me based on what I'm seeing. I always accept that people play games in a much more boring way than I do. It's sometimes painful to watch because I like to get good at everything and master every little thing to make me look as flawless as possible while playing.
Video compression sucks, but this game is for me. Just like I'm sure DBZ Kakarot wasn't for everyone, but was perfect for me.

This game looks like something you'd get for free at Burger King with your Whopper meal.

I'd rather they release it and quickly move onto something else.

Yes, probably you are right. It need a complete reboot starting from the concept. Crazy that there were 4chan post of people that tested a prototype years ago and they described the game exactly like these gameplay are showing it, saying it was terrible. But still, Sonic Team seems didn't cared at all for some reason.

Wow, this is like "babies first UE project" or something, Sonic is not blended at all with the environment, the clash of his model with the rest of the art style... even how it clashes with the robot's styling.
The random super kick thing that teleports you to a random place in the air, and then you're supposed to know where the fuck you're ending up...
This is either a very CHEAP PROJECT, or it's far too EARLY in the project to show this, this feels like footage that would be shown as a proof of function to make a game based on this concept, something you might show investors, or show hypedemons(gaming journalists) to get them excited for the game and drum up hype with it, but not to the general public.
There's nothing right about any of this footage, from the music to any of the animations, this game if it's worked on properly shouldn't see the light of day until late 2024.

I think it looks fun too. Don't understand the hate at all. Maybe its just cool to hate on Sonic? What we have seen so far is traversal and combat.
1) Traversal looks more fun then most open world games out there so what is the problem? You can still jog like in other open world games if you want to
2) Other people are saying it looks like Kingdom Hearts and DBZ. Yeah so again where is the problem? DBZ and KH get good reviews. I am excited because it looks like it is using the PSO2:NG engine and PSO2 NG combat is awesome.

It's hilarious that after almost three decades it appears Sega still doesn't know how to make a proper Sonic game.

Can we stop pretending Sonic Team have the slightest clue once and for all?
Unless this is deliberate trolling and the real game is something completely different they're gonna show further down the line. But if that's the case, it's some very bizarre marketing strategy.

Hasan?
But seriously, didn't Sonic Team say that Frontiers was to be their template for Sonic games for the next ten years or something? I thought I read something like that somewhere. It's a stench we've all smelled before.

Did anyone else find it maddening that the player kept trying to attack the heavily guarded points on the enemies. Sonic combat should be all about motion the players didn't understand that.
Like dude you are supposed to run and quick step around the first enemy type and find the weak point.keep moving!
Then the second enemy type keep moving again and use the whirlwind to lift him in the air!

Yes, I'm very excited about this. I think they could easily put together an action packed story trailer with cool sequences to help sell the game, which I certainly believe is coming. This game looks like it has serious potential, and I think it looks like a possible big return to form for bigger budget sonic games.

Combat in Sonic (at least when playing modern Sonic) is about enemies that die in one or two hits and that you choose to either dodge or use to rebound on them, in other to keep your momentum. Because it's fun, it requires a bit of skill, it's stylish, and you are targeting a nice run with a good score at the end.
It is not about locking, circle strafing and waiting for an opportunity to attack, and having to repeat this 5 or 10 times. This is actually combat in a Souls game. Against bosses, why not, still a bit skeptical. But against every single enemy in the game ?

Ok, this gameplay video is MUCH better than the first one. The combat looks at least a bit fun.It seems too rigid(as a lot of attacks are just some super attacks that seem to have zero skill involved, but at least looks fun)
But there is still a lot of jank in this, specially the camera. Really, whats up with the camera?I get why they pull back for that enemy's attack, but it feels horrible.Its just so sudden, and Sonic becomes so little that he bevomes hard to see.
Also I dont like those attacks that "teleports" Sonic back, the camera just points to a diferent direction and you ram the enemy.I don't know, it feels... disruptive, and not intuitive/natural.
But honestly, this trailer is way better than the last one.But gotta say, the lack of context is really hurting these videos.Without the context of what defeating the enemies gives to the player, it feel pointless attacking them, given that you can just run past them.
But still, the game looks ROUGH.I really hope they delay this game for a year, and polish whats there. If this video is anything to go by, this game may be salvagable and maybe a decent game after all.

The open world looks terrible, the gameplay looks janky, this whole thing loses the Sonic Aesthetic and is too washed out, Sonic and the monsters don't fit the world they are in. They would have been better off with a more animated look than whatever the shit this is.

I mean, you can kinda see they at least had some ideas. It just looks like it's still in prototype...

The problem is that Sonic Team lacks the talent to execute quality combat like kingdom hearts and DBZ. Ripping off other games only works if you understand what makes what your ripping off fun.
Sonic Team has zero vision and can't even rip off other ideas properly.

GAF I apologize for gaslighting you yesterday on this game. That combat...it looks really rough tbh.
What's with that weird camera snapping when he does that rushing attack? It's just very sudden and jarring, jerky as well. The attack where he does a ton of ki blasts from his hand seems kinda fanfiction-y, or at least something you'd expect him to do when he's Super Sonic, not regular Sonic.
The move where he circles enemies to expose weak spots looks good, but the actual enemies look extremely generic. A gang of floating, sentient soccer balls? Really? Also this would've been a great time to have some more fitting music since it's showing off combat, but I guess not.
I'm kinnda worried with how this game lands, now. Damnit, Sonic Team. Just team up with Christian Whitehead and do a big sequel for Sonic Mania. The formula for a great Sonic is right there, you can even do retro 3D with the bonus stages and make a 3D Sonic off that. Start with the foundation, quit jumping the line.

I think the game is definitely trash, but even still IGN is absolutely managing to make it look even worse.
Like it's bad but I am a better player than whoever is in control after just watching the game for 1 minute.
