Looks so damn good

It'll probably be shite.

Boo! You have to have faith!

It's basically Sonic 2 with new levels, they'd have to put serious effort into strawberry floating this one up.

So long as Sonic Team steer clear we'll be in for a treat.

As long as it controls like a normal Sonic game, it looks like a winner. Theres no Sonic denial circle here because the game actually looks like the Sonic we wanted all along!

It's a Sonic game. I loved them at the time and Sonic 3 & Knuckles would be in my personal top 10 games ever but Sonics been a bad franchise for literally decades at this stage. If this turns out great I'd be delighted but I can't get excited for this.

This game disregards the past 22 years (seriously, it's been that long) and is a continuation of the MegaDrive games, same engine, same physics, same graphics, same everything.

It shouldn't have taken 22 years for someone to realize that taking Sonic out of the 16-bit era was a bad idea.

Does anyone at Polygon know how to play video games?! First the Doom demo and now this. It was genuinely painful to watch at times.

Good news for you Nick, eh? He's whiter than he used to be.

I always found it weird that Sonic was purple in the original game. A colour limitation with the Mega Drive, perhaps?

That's not purple.

It's more purple than it is blue.

Its a dark blue, but it is definitely blue.

You need new eyes.

The sonic 1 sprite looks lilac.
