Don’t miss any of our…
I still don't understand why Sega won't upload these videos to their own channel or why the gameplay is suddenly being shown on Game Informer when the previous two and the Sonic Central were on IGN.
Anyway even though I still haven't been shown anything in this game that's gotten me hyped I'm still looking forward to this game even if it doesn't look perfect.
Sonic needs one more game mechanic that may help the game engage and the strong reason why Sonic must move fast, why Sonic must use the acceleration platform, etc. And reward exploring the iconic buildings, get the top of complex building and kind a like that
What is a frontier
Awesome Gameplay <3
Dam
Basically "I'm an optimist, but I'm also a realist"
ngl i bet this game finna have hella collectables
The fact that this video wasn't the first thing they thought to show us to indicate this game had any content at all has only made it PAINFULLY clear that SEGA sent this game out to die. This isn't incompetence, there is intent here to only show the stuff worth looking at after you've scared off the majority of the audience beyond the diehards.
Most people still have a bad taste in there mouth after the first game footage but this is a big improvement
Boring
I just wish they could have just tried to sonic omens route for the last transition to a 3d linear sonic game.
1:06 "I'm an optimist, but I'm also a realist"
@2:42 Sonic works the shaft.
Not being a hater, just giving a reality check. None of this looks different than the first gameplay showcase. It's probably a very similar, if not the same, build of the game. The player in the first footage just stopped frequently to look at the environments, and was also not pressing the sprint button as frequently as was shown here. Also, don't know what some of you mean about the combat looking deep all of a sudden. It's a homing attack that leads into a single air combo, and there's a dodge and a parry. Plus the loop thing, which is also used in puzzles and such. Sonic still doesn't look super well animated, and I'm still worried about that towering boss from the first showcase, because that fight didn't look fun and probably hasn't changed
I'm surprised this has turned people so much, I don't think this looks much better. I really think this is a game that can be saved by mods though
"Pokemon Legends Arceus, one of the best games of the year […]" – okaaaaaay. I mean I guess once you have that perspective then this does look decent by comparison. Sure.
Breath of the wild literally destroy gaming industry wtf this look terrible
It’s gonna bomb. Or at the very least do poorly
Omg I love when they said Pokémon legends arceus is one the best games of the year. I immediately disregarded their opinions. Lol
Dude sounds like a classic hard to please person. Cautiously? Dude say ""the game looks pretty well put together and should be good… Nostalgically reminiscent to Dreamcast. Can't wait to see what's in store in the full game!""" This guy sounds like he is ready to bring negative energy to the conversation. Be positive bro, game looks fantastic!
Saying one of the best games of the year also had that problem doesn't downplay that problem, if anything it's more about how shit a year it's been for games
2022 or 2023 the game?
Can't they release the Sonic license so fans can publish their games? fan games are much better than this
Honestly this looks really fun in my opinion I’m hyped!
Unsubbing from this channel due to its white washing of explorative tactics from Blizzard Activision. What a shame, RIP the best gaming magazine.
Still meh to me with the open world design , but why the hell did they not just show this from the start
Ngl i wish they changed Sonic design, make him with blue and purple eyes instead of the normal green ones
Okay, that boss looked REALLY fun
The landscape has devil may cry vibes
That first boss is straight up Kuroyukihime from Accel World lmao
I’m still not truly convinced, plus Sega has let me down for far too long. We’ll see how it is when it comes out, but I’m not preordering or purchasing till reviews drop after release.
It just looks like so awkward lmao. Like an unfinished game. The game just looks terrible.
How they gonna make an open world Sonic game and make my man jog throughout the world?
I wish it was a lil more stylized the realistic look just doesn't fit sonic in my opinion anyway.
Just let it die
Consider this game BOUGHT
not impressed with the running speed. im at the point where i'm asking why can't he run up walls without a speed booster
Jeez, the game looks so bland and generic. The background is just empty.
Sonic does not fit in this environment
4:05 this man just compared an undercooked game to another undercooked game. Congrats! i played Arceus myself but once your done with the game, it's forgotten. It did well in its 1st month but by no means its not one of the best games of this year (especially since Scarlet & Violet is coming)
I'm just sticking with Sonic Origins, this looks absolutely boring.
this game has alot of potential sega don't rush or pull a Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) take your time theres alot of work to be done. on a side note: im curious about super sonic
I feel like sonic needs to run faster 👀🤷🏾♂️
Where are the enemies at… 🤔 😕
The new gameplay looks sooo much better than before! I cant wait for this game now. I do wish the game was more open world though. This isnt on Sega more so me and my expectations. At first I thought this game was more about Sonic running in a huge open world with land, water, animals, npcs, like we all imagine in our minds when we first heard open world Sonic game, like more of an emphasis on his traversal like spiderman 2018. What it means to truly feel like Sonic. A purely open world game that was a massive sandbox for Sonic. But this game isnt that, its supposed to be multiple open zones with Sonic trying to un cover the mysteries of each island, thats why there are no npcs or animals its not a traditinal open world game. I hope sometime in the future we can one huge open world map for Sonic to run through in a more speedily way to where he is jumping from rock to rock or running across lakes, going up and down moutains or buildings, doing side quest, so on and so forth. I am so glad this game is the new direction for Sonic because that means we can get more open world games for our fav blue hedgehog later on!
