Oh man, I played so much of this game growing up. Yeah, a lot of the flak it gets for repetitive gameplay, poor controls, and edginess is somewhat justified. At the same time, I feel like this was perfectly aimed at mid-2000s kids who wanted a more "mature" and "adult" Sonic game without really understanding what that meant.
Framerate does not look good. Hopefully that is because of YouTube, and not the game.
Looks like they conveniently chose nearly all shots that do not show character faces. Except Richard Ayoade, who looks I think better than the first trailer. Background NPC faces at 0:17, 0:19, 0:20, and 0:27 all look decent, but one of the kid’s faces and one of the background NPCs on the left at 0:27 look off. Can’t tell if that’s just high motion and upscaler/YouTube artifacting, bad lighting, actual bad model, not enough pixels, or some combination thereof though.
I did see what I think was the original main character face that seems to be unaltered/unchanged from the first trailer, which is a bit of a shame. (Looks like they tried to hide it/obscure it because they put a ridiculous chicken hat/helmet on that model during the character creation part that the face was at (0:09) which wasn’t present on the other face models. Double oof because of the male face model they switched to immediately after being literal Gaston/Prince Charming/Hercules face model.) They really did that model dirty especially considering how good Richard’s face model looks here. Hopefully they can make it look more like the actual model its supposed to be based on, or perhaps they can release another trailer showing the main character face choices under more optimal viewing conditions.
Tl:dw for anyone who isn’t in a position to watch the video, the evidence provided by Rockstar is a complete joke as expected, but apparently that wasn’t enough to convince the judge to grant interim relief. I highly recommend watching the whole video if you get the chance though, PMG have been doing a very good job of covering this topic so far.
