The film is clearly based on Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Sonic 2 and Sonic Adventure both have a Sky Chase, hence the similarity, but that badnik and the fact Eggman has an Eggomatic instead of a Egg Carrier means it's definitely a reference to Sonic 2.

Bayonetta is a character who is in control of her own sexuality so that helped the character gain a female base.
The opening shot is clearly Adventure as it has the same setup as when Sonic went to city hall and encountered Chaos. The exterior shot of the temple where the master emerald is housed in is clearly Lost World from Adventure. Sonic is snowboarding in the trailer which is clearly from Adventure version of Ice Cap.
Sega had already released a Bayonetta Animated film called Bayonetta: Bloody Fate back in 2014. It was released in theaters and was opened to a mostly positive reception from what I gathered.
All Sega/Paramont Pictures has to do is use that same script as a blue print for their live-action adaptation. With a couple of tweaks along the way, I think they might have something.
Bayonetta is also one of Sega's hottest IPs right now, especially when Bayonetta 3 is slated to come out soon for the switch. They'd be fools not to announce a live-action feature, but then again, we are talking about Sega here.
Strike while the iron is hot.
Phantasy Star is a fine franchise but its missing a flagship character that audiences will be compelled to go see like a Cloud Strife, a Sephiroth or a Tifa Lockhart. Or even a Commander Shepard.
If Sega comes out with a Phantasy Star film, they will have to lock in a star-studded cast inorder to get butts in seats and drive ticket sales for opening weekend.
If this Sonic Sequel has a Chao Garden in it, I will go nuts.

I'll take your word for it.
The only other Sega product I know of is Virtua Fighter. Most fighting game movies such so maybe it could learn from their mistakes?
I think Bayonetta is better off in animation than live-action.
And that is something I don't say often.
You sure about that?

I can't see this looking very good in live action.
The most effective adaptation of a Virtua Fighter film is to have it centered around Jacky Bryant's backstory. A former Indy Car driver puts his career on hold to investigate the disappearance of his sister, Sarah. Through participating in an underground tournament, he discovers the existence of the mystery group called J6 that could be behind Sarah's disappearance.
