New gameplay footage started to pop up recently:

I totally dismissed the game when they showed the first trailer,but I'm actually considering checking it out now. 
 
Impressed by the new footage? the music? the graphics? or do you think it looks like complete and utter garbage? 
 
Share your thoughts.

It seems like the good part of Sonic Unleashed.  Hopefully they find enough ways to make enough of those levels and make it not boring but worth a the $50-$60 price tag they will charge for it.  The fact that it is like Mario with picking the levels bothers me a bit.

That first screen give anybody else a weird "Super Mario Galaxy" vibe?

I don't... that looks...
 
Shouldn't this be Sonic 4?

I'm not digging the abilities.
 
SPIKES!
ROCKET!
 
But it looks worth picking up from the bargain bin to me.

In before one Sonic fan defends a dead franchise 
 
Darn, too late.

it actually looks kind of intriguing. the morphing abilities seem like that could add an interesting layer of game play on top of the fast paced action. 
 
P.S. I approve your spelling of "colour"

I hope team Sonic finally understands what people find fun about sonic.

Sega seems to want everyone to hate them, between arbitrarily cutting content out of the Yakuza games (you could literally walk up to buildings which were still marked on the map and just not be able to enter), chopping Sonic 4 up into 3 pieces so they can charge 45 dollars, and doing a terrible port of the PS3 version of Bayonetta, I can't get excited for anything they do.

The gameplay I've seen before reminded me of the good parts of Sonic Heroes, this reminds me more of Unleashed. Either way this looks like it could be ok as long as they won't, aside from a few bosses, require you to fight enemies with more than 2 hp. Worst part of Sonic heroes was stopping to fight those big, hammerwielding, robots. 
 
The gimmicky color powers seem to have the potential to slow down the game a bit (like that spikeball), making you lose your momentum. Though it also looks like they could help vary up the gameplay, and some of the powers (like the rocket) seem to keep the momentum going nicely. I also dug the music, at least on that particular stage. 
 
It's a wait and see for me.

" IT'S SONIC SO IT MUST BE SHIT DERP.
Actually, it's one of my most anticipated games of the year. I played this level at Gamescom and I thought it was great. "

As said above it looks like all of the best parts of Unleashed.  Hopefully it doesn't fall into that trap of hitting you with a  ridiculous platforming section in the middle of a really fast level, I cannot count the amount of times I was like "I dunno what everyone is on about, this game is awesome...Fuck!fuck!fuck! game over!... I hate this game!" I'd like to see what the DS version of this game is like because I really liked what I saw in this video.  
 
It also  gives me hope after the hugely mediocre sonic 4.

I'm not digging the announcer or the suits and the menus take too heavily from Super Mario Galaxy for my liking but it doesn't look bad. I'll reserve my full judgement until there's more info around on the game but at the moment it's certainly looking better than some of the most recent Sonic games.

Colour...you excited? Colour?
 
BOOOOOOM

So this game is basically plays like the daytime levels of Sonic: Unleashed and not like the godawful Warehog nighttime levels? If so, then this could be the first good console Sonic game in years.

" @WinterSnowblind: Here's your platforming (though it doesn't have a lot of alternate paths):   

  

As for alternate paths, they're in the first act of Planet Wisp. This video shows them a bit better though:   

   Also, there are acts with multiple endings. Like in the first act of Planet Wisp, the player gets to a different ending than I got when I played it at Gamescom and the players in other videos of the same act. "
