From what I've read:

Shadow is also a party member, and Big may be given more IQ points.

There will be over 11 party members.

Rings serve as a currency., to buy stuff, like new shoes.

You use your party members to help navigate the field. For example, Amy can break a boulder.

Battle is turned based: your fighters go when everyone's commands have been entered. Special moves are done with touch screen. One has you do Elite Beat-like commands.

The plot is the following: Sonic is on a vacation, after saving the world from Eggman years prior. He gets a message from Tails that states that Knuckles has been kidnapped by a group called the "Marauders", and that 6/7 of the Chaos Emeralds have gone missing. Sonic then returns home. At first, it seems like Eggman is the main villain, but really it's something bigger.

Eggman will have an important, dark role as well:

"Eggman's been relegated to comic relief for a while now, but we really wanted to build him back up as a credible adversary. And there's a twist centered around Eggman that goes back to the franchise's early days that Sonic fans will not expect." -Miles Holmes

There are two "acts". The first has familiar areas, like Green Hill. Not much is given about Act II, but apparently it takes place in a dark, parallel universe, where the tone of the game gets darker.

There will be fully animated cut-scenes for important moments. Normally, you'll have interactive dialogue, where you get to choose what you wnat Sonic to say.

Sounds KICKASS.
