This game looks like it's the most scripted Sonic game ever made. And enemies who doesn't even try to attack you is just stupid. (if this is not a part of the tutorial)

More news for the Directors Cut version of 3D Blast
[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUu9Inhaj0I]So a Japanese player can already speedrun the Forces Modern Green Hill act and just barely reach the goal after the timer runs out.[/url]
That reminds me, I probably should get 3D Blast on Steam if the mod is launching on the Workshop.

Damn that's pathetically short.

if the red rings are anything to go by they put the players in near the end of the stage

All the stages shown so far are pretty damn short, I doubt the demo specifically just drops players off midway through the stage just to have some big reveal that they're actually a lot longer.
I can't believe I'm saying this but...the avatar felt much better than sonic

Considering it's a Green Hill-y zone, with a lot of hint icons, it's likely the first stage/tutorial so it's not meant to be long, just a starting point for the story. The first act/tutorial for Sonic Unleashed (360/Ps3) can be beaten in 30 seconds by speed-runners. You can beat both acts of GHZ in Generations in under 5 minutes combined, with or without items and speed exploits.
I doubt they've been showing off any mid/late game stages to us since it seems like a more story-oriented game with the dialogue in levels; it's likely later stages will be longer.
But what we have seen so far is still pretty short, and the enemies seem to only exist to give you boost/homing attack chains, or force you to attack them and show off the new weapons.
A new Forces prequel comic, "Looming Shadow", is out:

Okay, Sally is in several pics in the background of that comic.
Is... is she gonna be in Forces? That'd be a fuckin odd addition.
probably just an easter egg considering the artist also worked on archie sonic
Probably easter egg the comic team put it in as funsies.
Or they weren't aware that these comics are done for game canon.

Nah, probably just a bit of fan service for comic fans. Yet I don't see why it will be odd addition considering forces' plot is centered around characters traveling through dimensions and/or time.

Also, leave it to speedrunners to break the ever living shit out of a demo.

~2-3 minutes per level? That's not a lot...
At this point I don't have any hopes for an interesting gameplay. Though I'm ready to close my eyes on that if the story is at least decent.
That's how long the levels in the SEGA console games tend to last, you know.

Jeez, I know this line of thinking encroaches on complaining about the boost formula in general, but honestly, watching this clip of gameplay - what is even the point of playing this game?
I'm honestly lost to the benefits of making the gameplay sequences [I]this[/I] restricted, and this is coming from a long time fan of the series. I [I]know[/I] scripted gameplay sequences are a part of Sonic. But this looks dreadful. I know it's just potentially a small section of the first stage, but it does not paint a good picture for the rest of the game.

So someone streamed a bit of gameplay thanks to breaking the street date, though he got taken down by a Sega claim in the end.
Probably late. But I came across this and it's so fucking perfect.

It syncs so well.

Yep, street date has been broken in the US and Russia so spoilers are being posted literally everywhere, so be careful.
Wow, that remix of White Jungle is really good. Surprised they're revisiting this song.
I fully expect E.G.G.M.A.N. at this point. Keys the Ruin would also be very welcome.
As for the leaks, not asking for any details, but is it showing areas we haven't seen yet?
