It feels like a great blend of various elements. Classic characters with generally interesting looking gimmicks, decent looking physics, and overall feel that its trying to evolve the 2D games' elements. I'm feeling pretty hyped.
Naoto Ohshima designing a new character (apparently an antagonist alongside Eggman and Fang) while Naka's about to go to jail has to be the biggest flex I've seen in a while.

I dunno. I keep getting burned on the modern classic Sonic games. Mania was great, but they never even finished 4 and the last compilation was a hot mess at launch.

still weird seeing hte Green shirt Amy... I get it they want to differentiate "modern" and "classic" styles... but Amy's not really a Classic character... she was only REALLY in Sonic CD in that look.

She appeared in more than Sonic CD in that look. She also appeared in spin-offs like Sonic the Fighters, Sonic Drift 1 & 2, and Sonic R.

I meant in the regular games and not spin-offs... that said I still think most would probably associate her more with the red dress than the green shirt.

She also appeared in several issues of the Archie comics so some fans also remember her design from there.
Most fans tend to differentiate the look depending on the era.
Also, some fans have been asking for a playable classic Amy for years.

I want to be hopeful that they'll get the formula and physics right, and recent Sonic games have been on a bit of an upswing. But can't help but feel that they should be trying to replicate the success of Mania, rather than something that looks more like Sonic 4 than anything else.

Sonic doesn't seem to take 5 years to accelerate on foot. That alone makes it look like it plays better than Sonic 4.
Edit: It kinda looks like it's running on the same engine used for the classic Sonic stages in Generations.

I'm pretty much never going to trust a Sonic game on paper but in practice maybe it'll turn out good, does seem promising.
That said am glad Amy's modern look is DLC because her classic one just looks awkward.

Seems more in the vein of Sonic 4 more so than Sonic Mania. Now while Sonic 4 was pretty decent, Mania was a classic, and I’m chomping at the bit for a follow-up to that. 4? Not so much.

Demo footage from the ssmb(Sonic Stadium message boards).
So far, reception over there seems positive and they tend to scrutize the hell out of things.

Turns out this is being made by Arzest, known for such classics as Yoshi's New Island, Hey Pikmin, and Balan Wonderworld.
So be afraid.

Honestly given the alternative was Sonic Team working on a classic Sonic title... this might be a lateral move. I mean New Island and Hey Pikman weren't bad games and Balan was doomed by Naka's central philosophy so I'm not writing off Superstars just yet.

I like that Amy being playable in stuff is more and more common. Sonic's franchise has a lot people can dunk on it for, but it's also got a legitimately large cast of characters, so it's nice when they lean into that strength. Bringing Nack/Fang back is another good use of that.
