Yeah, you are right that it comes off as a Generations sequel. But it looks more poorly made. That new gameplay footage with the new avatar character isnt that good. The previous footage of Green Hill was just downright bad. I understand its still in development so maybe things will improve closer to launch, and I will re-evaluate then.

But for now, whatever interest I had in this is pretty much gone

Poorly made? Bad gameplay? Please explain! Graphically it's pretty much the same as Generations a game that looked amazing. The core gameplay is almost exactly the same as Generations, though Modern Sonic's boost meter now fills from Wisp capsules which is definitely a negative but not a huge problem. Custom Hero gameplay is pretty much the same as Modern Sonic only with gadgets instead of boosting. Level design we've barely seen anything of but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here. Yeah Green Hill looks worse than it did in Generations but they're screwed either way on this since if they did make it look the same people would complain they just copy-pasted it.

Fifty pregnant Sonichus await us. Also, this.

Even if it is graphically the same as Generations, that game is 6 years old now. 

Boring looking levels with simplistic level design. gameplay just looks like a go forward automatic runner with very basic looking platforming. I dont think the physics quite right either but that could just be me. To me , Generations gameplay seems better and more refined. 

Like I said, I will reserve judgement again closer to the time. For now, im unconvinced. Thank goodness something like Mania exists. 

And 6 years later it still looks great! I don't think developers need to blow their budget on graphics just to prove their game is well made, especially when a game can have great graphics and still suck, but I suppose it's fair to have expected significant improvement. I'm guessing the Switch version has something to do with that.

Psh that criticism can be and is said about every Sonic game ever! To this I always say that just means the gameplay probably isn't for you, doesn't necessarily mean it's bad for what it is, but you sound like you liked Generations so yeah definitely check back on this game after they start revealing stages. I'm confident they will impress like the ones in Generations did.



I don't really care either way for a custom hero so it makes the comments in the Youtube section is pretty funny :p
