Yeah, God forbid they try new gameplay mechanics, am I right?

Sonic Lost Worlds Debut Trailer [Up: Wii U + 3DS screenshots]

So this is the cgi for art direction comparison :
and the game:
I don't know.. It's weird, probably really early or intentional but it looks pretty simple and lame in term of model/shader/light...
Even compared to Mario Galaxy actually.
It looks close to what a 3DS can do. Is this game cross-platform? Maybe it was ported up from the 3DS?
*sigh*
Sonic Xtreme the Sega Saturn game that never got finished/released
back in the day I would've loved that for my Saturn
Well, we had Colors which was decent, Generations which was decent, now we have this.
Need a better quality trailer to tell for sure, but the graphics don't look very impressive.
Because he's finally hit steps big enough? Are you saying Sonic doesn't grab things in his platformers? Not sure why that would be out of place in a 3D Sonic platformer if they're not basing it on previous 3D games but on the series in general.

Looks like a lot of fun.
Doesn't look that hot graphically but you'll be moving around fast, not smelling the roses.

Did you skip Colors and Generations?
I really don't know why people keep bringing this up. I'm not sure if its trolling, ignorance or maybe they just don't like the Unleashed style of Sonic gameplay. But the last three 3D Sonic games have been wonderful. The gameplay may not appeal to you but its the direction Sega has gone with Sonic and for that I am thankful.

Sonic meets Super Mario Galaxy? Looks good graphically, though.
Colors and Generations were good games.

Mario Galaxy ft. sonic The Hedgehog?
I'm already sold.

It's also releasing on the 3DS, that's why I thought game footage was taken from that version. It really does look really basic graphic wise.

I'm really glad they're going for something new (Okay it looks a lot like Galaxy, but that's just fine by me). The Unleashed daytime style of gameplay was wearing a bit thin after three games.
Joke post?
This game looks great! Sad I have to play it on the Wii U though, but this and 3D Mario are good reasons to buy the console...

Looks sweet. I haven't enjoyed a Sonic game in forever but this might finally be the one.

Whoever is the city planner on mobius needs to be shot.
Looks ok though. If this breaks the sonic cycle I'm a bit afraid. The fan fiction is an epidemic with bad sonic games, I can only imagine the Heights of depravity if they start making good ones

Yeah, at 720p looks much better. I even noticed, around 0:50, that the loop while running is back O_O

Yup, came to post this.
At the same time I don't trust sonic team to put decent platforming physics. They are even worse than LBP.
And I guess i was right about the shitty friends....

I.......I..... I don't really know if I want this.
One side of me is happy to see a new route resurrected from old ideas.
The other side of me is disappointed from seeing them abandon perfecting what they had.
..........
It looks smooth... but I'll remain cautious. It's too slow.

I think I understand what you are getting at. My concern is that the art direction is targeting even younger kids than normal. It gave me a Skylanders vibe. I guess they did this same sort of style in Colors, though, and that game was fine.
Thought the same at first. Some bits look nicer than others (and no not the cgi bits)
I think maybe it's just the video compression though.
wasn't the sonic cycle broken with sonic generations? it was a good game.

I always do that, set it to max quality. The actual gameplay segments still looked average at best graphically, but you're traversing around the environment so fast does it really matter.

actually you are right.
i don't mind the move on the side ( like ezio or altair does ) to progress faster.
i'm all for new mecanics in that scenario.
Grabing a ledge is not something i see doing well with sonic.
Since that wasn't something done fast it just kill the gameplay for me.
Sonic isn't associated with speed for nothing.
Sonic had something similar called the side jump or the wall jump and his main use is to take shortcuts to be faster.
that grabing part left me with a very slow impression. i don't like it.
Those sly bastards.

Well, we'll see when we get more gameplay, but my issues are that I might have to stock up on Gravol for this one, which wasn't an issue with the previous three games. Something about it makes me feel iffy with respect to my motion sickness.
I love how it looks, though. I love those models. Reminds me a lot of the original premise of Sonic X-treme, really.
