GAMER LOUNGE 20XX (NO CASUALS!!)

[Crappy Blue Luigi]

Watching the trailer, I don't see why I'd want to play that. Admittedly I'm not the largest fan of Sonic's earlier games (Heroes was my jam heh) but all it looks like is "PLAY SONIC AS NOT SONIC" I'm surprised Sega hasn't told them to pack it up honestly. It seriously just looks like a Sonic re-skin. Don't let my negativity be a joykill, that's just how I see it.

i don't have time to reply to this fully right now, but i'll try anyway unless you think all it takes to be a sonic game is bigheadded furry characters running around colorful scenery, this game is not a sonic game. none of the characters curl up into balls when they jump, and the gameplay has a significant lack of momentum based physics. you basically have enoigh speed to run up a wall if you walk for a second. freedom planet is way more combat oriented than any sonic 2d sonic game, as all of the playable characters have a variety of damaging moves.

also, carol has a motorcycle.

play the demo on the site and tell me if it still feels like a sonic game. it certainly takes a lot of inspiration from sonic, but it also takes heavy inspiration from other games of the era, like mega man x, rocket knight adventures, gunstar heroes, etc.
