This looks better than in the past, and apparently is still undergoing change.

Looking pretty good there.

I dunno... there's still something very off about the way he animates. His animations are too exaggerated and slow - makes the controls seem floaty.

Compare this to footage of, say, Sonic 3 - see how quick and responsive Sonic is in comparison? He also seems to have a lot more weight. He hugs the ground better and his in-air acceleration seems more natural.

Looking like Sonic 1 with HD graphics. Doesn't seem like a fresh spin on the series (although every time they tried new formulas, the concoction smells and plays like shit albeit being 3d games).

I'd still need to see more of the game, but that Splash Hill didn't look like anything.

Kinda unimpressed. I mean, it looks cool, but seeing how it plays is kinda off. I do NOT like the fact that the homing attack is a regular move. It's going to make the game too easy, I feel. Why not make the homing attack a special timed move you get out of an item box, like the speed shoes? That way, the levels could have special parts of the zones where getting that power-up would actually matter, and if you had it, you'd be able to access a higher/different part of the level, but only if you could find the power-up.

That zone looked very bland, as well. I actually liked the screens of the first level they ever showed for it last year better.

Ahh well, i'm expecting a solid, if unspectacular game.

Looks pretty good, actually. I agree with Camstun on the homing attack making the game easier, though...

Also, funny how the guy says Wii can't even handle the graphics for this game... They probably just aren't trying very hard with the Wii version.

He's just saying the Wii version wont be in HD since Wii is incapable of HD.
