First, if you haven't seen it already, check out the new video for Sonic the Hedgehog 4:

Yeah, it's very distracting.
 
They should do it like Nintendo did, giving him the "wheel" feet animation.
 

Needs more motion blur.

Definitely need a wheel of blur of some kind.
 
One more thing I'd like?  More layers of parallax scrolling in the background.  Sonic 3 had tons of layers, and I think high res 2D means you need to add even more layers to make it look as good as it did.

I don't really mind, but the "spinny" legs look better I think... 
 
The example @Willy105 was really good, that'd look sweet.

" Wow, who in the fuck cares, really. "

His run animation looks like the one from Sonic Rush.

Considering this is likely an unfinished build shown and the trailer itself looks to be put together... hastily, at best, I wouldn't count on this representing his final running animation.

What seems to be the problem here????? Nothing.

I see what you mean actually. However they've only just properly announced the game, we're a fair way from playing the finished build and there's no point in judging the run animation this early on, they could change it entirely from the one we saw in the trailer.

Looks like he has no knees... Bring back the wheel legs.

I just noticed everywhere in that video Sonic is leaving huge dust clouds behind.  Not a great look...

As nice as it is to know that Sonic walks at that speed, I want to see him running.

Lol if they want to portray Sonic become older then they nailed it with his slow ass running. My god im surprised he didn't fall off that horizontal helix.

They'll fix it.

Sonic has been dead to me for years, so if this running animation is off its because the real sonic died during the genesis era and this is another one of the impostors that sega uses to make money off of us.

Really, guys?
 
Really?

" His run animation looks like the one from Sonic Rush. "

sonic still has fans? holy shit.

" The game is just gonna blow. Simple. It's gonna be a $20 piece of shit downloadable display of mascot prostitution. They took what could have been a good idea, and decided to ...once again... not put in any fucking effort at all. SEGA is full of god damn money hungry shameless pedophiles.
 
Okay, it might not blow. It will be tolerable. But they are still dragging Sonic out into the woods, pulling his pants off, and raping him silly. <--South Park reference. "

Sonic Rush was epic though. "
