I don't disagree with either, both approaches have produced excellent games in the past. I don't think making a game correctly is a matter of whether you take inspiration or not, but what your game has to offer in the end.
I called that the moment I realized the icons in the purple coins were hooks, it's somewhere there in Sam's reaction video's chat. Purple hook coins were already a huge giveaway.
@Zequio Wait, is this a joke or just ignoring the fact that Sonic never could swim in any game and it's kind of part of his identity to just.. hate water cause he sinks like a rock?
Ok, but this is what I'm worried about: "The team really is working on finishing everything up and finalising all of the work that needs to get done. They're working long nights in Tokyo right now trying to get us to that point so we're getting pretty close to the end right now."
@samuelvictor Yeah, I saw the stream. It explains at least why they weren't showing the games along with the music they will have, that is what had me wondering what was going on. A third possibility that I didn't consider: Music is just not the original, nor the demo one... it's a third version that isn't ready yet. Hard to foresee!
@samuelvictor I believe if they didn't have the rights, that they would've already shown us how the game will sound like in the trailers. I might be wrong though, but I just have a feeling they do have the rights this time.
I saw nothing that would sell me the game right now. Is Sonic going to be all alone? Are there any new mechanics other than the NiGHTS paraloop? I need something fresh besides the Open zone concept.
Why is everything so ...still? It's got 0 dynamism, I really don't like this art direction, I get it's a tactics-like strategy game game but that doesn't mean the cutscenes can't be more dynamic, characters are stiff as rocks... they are showing a battle, where's the action and the grandiose evolution sequences that make Digimon so spectacular?
Sonic's "infinite-sign-shaped legs" running animation looks weird and kinda awful when not seen from the side.... ughhh first bad impression... and I'm a die hard Sonic fan...
That Toad has a nose!! And they have belly buttons!!! Somehow I find that fact much more interesting and unsettling than the discarded Peach design, lol
Uuuuh but all the shared activities have the same minigame mechanic, that's a little sad. They could've implemented different minigames. Still this is a game I'll look into a bit more, it could be fun overall.
As a Spanish person I see the references to Barcelona clearly, but the rest of the world (with the sole exception, maybe, of those lighthouse-mill things that might reference the wind generators) doesn't look a lot like Spain to me?
The first time I read the names of the starters I though they were a joke... omg. I'm surprised the duck is not called Cuaxly instead of Quaxly to keep the Spanish component.

I could say "not gonna happen", but those words were proven wrong multiple times in this timeline, so I'll just say it's unlikely.
It would be completely amazing if it did happen though.
