I haven't had a chance to play this since I'm away from my desktop(I'm on vacation) but I'm liking what I'm seeing.

It does have the art style of classic Sonic, but it gives off the feel of Sonic Advanced instead from the video.
It is like comparing Mega Man to Mighty No. 9: the new game looks rather good, but between the two, I'd rather have a new release for the old IP.

Freedom Planet really just evolved into its own thing.

Which isnt a bad thing
Some say that he knows 2 facts about ducks, and both of them are wrong. And that 61 years ago he accidentally introduced Her Majesty The Queen to a Greek racialist. All we know is, I'm going to the tower now to have my head cut off, and he is called The Stig.

Oh not at all. In fact it most likely benefits it.

On my way home, I'll take a look at least at the demo in the next day or 2. My question is why isn't Sony all over this since they have a good relationship with indies and getting them on playstation systems. I would love to play this on my vita/ps4.

I highly recommend this game. I've only played through the whole thing as Lilac, but that was enough for the game to dethrone S3&K as my favorite platformer. It's amazing from start to finish, though the last few levels get pretty brutal (thankfully, the continue system is very generous).

I'm only about two hours in so far (playing as Lilac also). I'm not sure I'd say it rates higher than S3&K (that game still gets bonus points for me due to historical/personal value), but I definitely agree that it is incredibly good, one of the best games I've played this year.
The gameplay mechanics take the 16-bit Sonic formula and build upon it in a lot of ways, the move sets and controls are tight, varied and robust and I love how the level design transparently segues between speed and platforming, and transitions between acts with no intermission or loading screens. Replacing the ring mechanic with the old-fashioned life bar is a bit generic but honestly the game is better off for the change. The artwork and music also are absolutely lovely.
The story is bog-standard stuff so far but the characters are fun, likeable and well-voiced, and best of all, you can play with all the story elements disabled.

I recently watched SomeCallMeJohnny's review, and I have a feeling I'll love this game.
It really looks like a fusion between Mega Man (both Classic and X) and Classic Sonic, both of which I love, and it looks interesting even if I never played those games.
I'll most likely start with a Carol playthrough, because of the gameplay similarities to Sonic, if I remember the gameplay I've seen correctly.
That and the kick-ass motorcycle.
Rule #35 of Video Game Heroes: Add a motorcycle for instant cool. Carol has one, Wario has one, Shadow has---um...
...Well, it doesn't always work.

Normally I'd berate you for keeping that secret from me, but if they told you to not tell, I'm proud that you didn't spill the beans.
