I'm going to like the PARKOUR in this game, as long as it's good.

And it will be up to us to "tilt" the in-game world, so Sonic has a bit more fluid movement. Think of it as pinball without a skateboard.
None of this makes any sense

I legit smiled and even did a small chuckle at your response to kadosho's.

Alright now I'm serious what this Parkour means. I thought it didn't mean anything important probably but with so many posts mentioning it, I'm curious. Are we just talking about the automated walking or what?

Ever heard of freerunning? If not, it's pretty much this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX7QNWEGcNI

Though in the case of this game it seems to mean this
That’s also where the Parkour system comes into play. “In previous 3D Sonic games, even if you're running through a level at top speed, if you hit an obstacle you stop instantly,” Iizuka explained. “To avoid this, we added a new action to keep Sonic running, even when you hit an obstacle. To make sure it only happens when you want it to, it's triggered by the player holding the run button.” Like any game, automating actions brings a certain risk, but doing nothing means Sonic games continue to run into a brick wall – literally in the case of gameplay.

You can hit things in Generations and Sonic just keeps running though O.o
This is no way a new feature.

What's so hard to understand? When there's a wall and you run into it at high speeds Sonic will automatically grab the ledge and continue running except pressing the jump button to get over it. Or when there's a tight corridor with walls running along the side you can try to run on them when there's a obstacle in the way. (Prince of Persia and Mirrors Edge comes to my mind.)

It's in the trailer. Everytime sonic does that weird motion when you see a lot of sonics behind him is when he's doing parkour.
