WHY does their footage of a pre-rendered Netflix show also have a bad framerate? Are they just taking the piss now?

Yeah they need to have other songs than those piano melodies asap. You can convey a "mysterious world" with more energetic music than that and still keep it classical. Also, definitely fix the pop-in if it hasn't been fixed already.
There are things here I like, but other things that have me kind of baffled.

This is a Sonic thread. You aren't allowed to have positive opinions in here. You have to earn man baby street cred by hating everything. You might even earn a girlfriend. Ssshhhhhh!

I’ll be buying it but seriously screw whoever decided to ape Breath of the Wild’s snoozefest soundtrack for this game.
Also I’m a little surprised that this apparently won’t have any portals to stages.
I dunno it screams a 6/10

I mean, it's possible. Halo Infinite won last year.

I mean, I will try to remain optimistic.

Gliding on rails has been overused and is getting more and more overused in Sonic games (even gliding on a rail uphill which feels really lazy IMHO). It makes the experience on-rail and this kind of pun is exactly how fun the mechanic is now

The gameplay footage isn't hands on, it's just the two gameplay videos they showed before spliced together with him talking over it with his hands on impressions.
Unless that was his hands on prior?
Also the gameplay section during the sonic channel looked a lot better than everything we've seen so far.

lots of pop in and the combat looks clunky af
but i always wanted a sonic game where there is a massive world where you can just run around do anything you want, using the springs and rails. to me its like playing spiderman and even though i plat the game i still swing around because its still fun to do that.
if they manage to fix performance then i'll buy it but for now im a little cautious

Where is the momentum? It seems as if Sonic stops to move the moment the player lets go of the stick. Are they completely retarded? Also, the world looks nothing like a sonic world should look like. Sonic worlds is supposed to be colorful, abstract, cartoony. A Sonic game is not supposed to look realistic. Why did they do this? I don't get it. Sonic mania was praised by fans for it's back to the roots approach, why not copy that formular just in 3D and open world? The game had potential, but so far it looks like it's going to be another disaster for sonic fans. I hope I'm wrong.

Looks like someone modded Sonic into a realistic open world game.
Why is the world not stylized like the main character?

IGN had a positive hands on experience and this guy was impressed. Hopefully more impressions come out in the next week.

IGN took notes on SGF and people seemed to really like the demo calling it phenomenal.

It could be good or bad. Its all speculation until then. Maybe Sega just made a really good demo and the game turns out trash anyways. We shall see

I don't get the hate for it either but GAF is usually absolutely trash at predicting a games success or quality.
Metroid Dread, Halo Infinite etc etc.
The complaint I really don't get is the complaints over the music. You cannot have crush40 blasting over an open world like I feel like people are expecting here.... it wouldn't work and it would be extremely repetitive. I know it sounds weird for a 3 minutes video to be quiet and atmospheric.
Exploration open worlds need to have minimal music when out in the field, I don't remember anyone complaning about Elden Ring's lack of open world music but for some reason people keep giving Breath of the Wild shit for this.
Do people except more cartooney games to have happy uplifting music or something? Elden Ring evades this complaint because its gritty and dark?
Another complaint I don't get is the combat. You won't know this one until you play it but it seems like Sonic has a dodge button and can perfect dodge and even parry attacks. That's a good improvement over the previous games. I'm also rather curious about these upgrades I'm hearing about. There could be more to it.
Now legit complaints I feel are the general control of Sonic. The boost mechanic I really don't like in Sonic games and wish they would lose it. Sonic Adventure didn't need it and this shouldn't either.
I for one will always appreciate a gameplay demonstration even if it looks a little rough, sadly though all most people really want is a flashy well edited CG trailer with dubstep music blaring through it.
