    Yeah, especially with the inclusion of the Windows 10 taskbar.

    Also, cutscene footage is pretty neat to see. It's hard to make out anything at all though, in the action stage screenshot we can at least make out what appears to be a road and some buildings/pillars on the sides, a few trees/bushes... all I can discern from this cutscene is that Sonic is still - in fact - blue and has eyes.

    OR
    I would have described the reveal's control as looking "crunchy", so either way this game is designed like a nice piece of toast.

    Or calamari, which I personally think is far tastier…

    Anyway, to chime in on the cyberspace Rorschach test, it looks like Forces Metropolis with some greenery to me.

    At any rate, it’s encouraging to hear that people seem to be having a good time with the demo.

    I agree that I'm hoping they aren't just gonna reuse lots of assets. I'd like them to actually just make a new game for once. Expecting to see Green Hill and Chemical Plant Zone with a filter over them or something.

    That's exactly what I was thinking. The floor and the bushes to the sides say Sky Sanctuary, but those are definitely urban-style buildings on the left which remind me a lot of Forces Metropolis.

    Either way, my disappointment will be immeasurable if, for the third time, they're reusing levels in a desperate attempt to be like "Look, it's Chemical Plant! You guys like Chemical Plant, right?!"

    It's probably Sky Sanctuary. I think I saw in the midst of the smudgy 2 pixel tall blur a pillar lying on the ground to the left of Sonic after he comes down off that decline, and in the far background we can see a ruins-esque overpass similar to modern SS as well.

    It's worth noting this may not be the 'cyberspace' levels at all, btw. The prologue short for Frontiers is on Angel Island. What if this is at the beginning of the game? We also see a snippet at that same kiosk of a cutscene that might be one of the first in the game, so it could be just before Sonic and co get snatched up in the wormhole.

    Not to get anyone's hopes up btw, just food for thought. I really hope we're not in 11+ year old asset reuse hell. lmao

    That would...actually be kinda cool. The opening stage could take place on Angel Island right before Sonic is swept away to an unknown land.

    Well that explains why they won't let anyone film the game :ruby:

    It looks more like Emerald Hill, which is totally different!

    It looks like new assets at least.

    I just can't wrap my head around why they'd do this again.

    I've been thinking that maybe the reason Izuka has been referencing Sonic Adventure so much in interviews since the beginning is that this game plays to the story of that game by incorporating Knuckles and Angel Island.

    If this is indeed true I guess I praised them a bit too early for not lazily reusing level themes.

    But they can’t be THAT tone deaf, right?

    …right?
