Huh, I actually kind of like the look of that.
Wasnt sure what to expect of an open wold Sonic game, but I kind of get Breath of the Wild vibes. Not that you can tell much from footage that quick

Doesn’t look too bad so far (also this seems to confirm that either the game actually is open world or it at least had some big wide open areas ala Kirby & The Forgotten Land)

He has no style, he has no grace
It actually looks pretty decent so far.

The robot designs seem a little out of place.

I just wish the world looked a little more…Sonic style rather than just straight up BOTW. Who knows though, it’s only 30 seconds of one area, I’ll wait to see more. Looks pretty solid though

I’m still hoping Sonic’s not the only playable character though (Knuckles would be perfect for an open world game for example) but we’ll see I guess

Looks solid, and the brief footage of Sonic running seems a lot more manageable than the rocket powered shopping trolley of Heroes and Unleashed, although I'm not a huge fan of open worlds as a rule so I'll temper my expectations for how much I personally enjoy it; it depends on how they structure it and fill it out. It remains to be seen how the world and enemy design stack up, since we aren't being shown a huge amount, but I'm guessing those aren't Eggman's robots.

It will absolutely run like poo poo on Switch, but there isn't a lot they can do there unless they're willing and able to crush the graphics into oblivion, which they probably aren't.

The tiny bits of gameplay look pretty decent and the world looks nice, though I have to echo the sentiment that I'm not 100% onboard with the overall art direction of the game. It looks good for what they're doing, but I'm generally more of a fan of the games taking a cartoonier/more abstract approach to designing their worlds rather than going for a more realist approach.

The gameplay footage looks decent at least as has been mentioned but we’ll see how it goes (they’ve got new writers working on this one including Ian Flynn from the comics so hopefully the plot and/or dialogue will be a little better at least)

Encircling things to kill or interact seems like a natural and obvious choice for how a quick character does with an open space.

I think this is the point where I stop looking at pictures and videos to go in somewhat spoiler-free.

Has there been any word yet on what the S3&K soundtrack for Sonic Origins is going to be? Will literally buy or not buy the game based on if we get the original OST for S3&K or not.

p.s. don't come at me with the "well actually if you listen to the Sonic 3 prototype soundtrack blah blah"

It was all over, they specifically cut the original songs citing they wouldn't give into "terrorist demands".
(There has been absolutely no news at all on the soundtrack, other than the bonus tracks for the sound test.)

Hopefully not considering it's a poorly performing fork of an engine that was poo poo when PSU was released and means it'll run terribly on everything, not just switch

If you get it on PC then I guarantee that both soundtracks will be modded in that very day.

It's hard to pick up a lot from so little footage, but it looks like they have a clear, varied ideas for how you can use Sonic's speed to interact with the world, be that traveling, interacting with the environment, fighting enemies. Which is uh.

Kinda more than I expected!

The aesthetic being BOTW-lite doesn't bother me much, Sonic's been doing the green pastures forever and I prefer this to say, Lost World's aesthetic.

Sonic 3 will have no soundtrack, but to compensate they are adding breathing so you will be able to hear Sonic & friends’ every inhale, exhale, wheeze, gasp, and cough. Exactly as originally envisioned in 1994.

Tell them about the tournament!

Frontiers looks promising- though it's hard to tell from a short teaser. I love the aesthetics, but I'm weird and loved PSO2:NGS' 'artificial nature' vibe. The piano track slaps.

I think in 6 hours we're getting a full trailer or more info so fingers crossed!

The grassy look of everything in that preview reminded me of Planet Wisp before it gets to the construction zone. So maybe that's what they're going for. But I'm sure the game will have other themes as the world opens up anyway. Guess I won't be getting it on Switch anymore though. Unless they do an Unleashed Wii type thing with this.

Exploration is ill-advised.
It's a Sonic game, it's obliged to mix up the terrain types at least aesthetically and they're actually allowed to still have colour. I'm guessing they're probably using environments that are finished enough to look good for a trailer and gonna save the rest for later.

It is a decent sign if they're actually focusing on making the controls... well, good. And if they're going to insist on GOFAST then actually having an open world to run around in (Spyro overworlds come to mind) rather than endless narrow paths to shoot down seems like a good idea. Although the grind rails are another question.
