Sonic and the Black Knight

Or he may just be a multiplayer character, which shouldn't really make any difference to your overall opinion of the game.

 

If that's true...that is very unexpected. Of all characters, they would put in Jet the Hawk, even for multiplayer? The casual Sonic player probably won't even recognize, or remember him.

 

I thought America recieved this game today, where are the rips!!

 

That trailer was actually...it was...ah....kkkkkkkk HOLY SHIT.

We had't seen how the other characters play yet, and from the looks of it, Knuckles and Shadow could be tons of fun.

And Jet? Heh. Whatever. There are worse one trick Sonic character ponies.

 

Christ. Shadow, Knuckles, and Blaze all playable? They really have played this one close to the chest this time.

 

Are you sure it was supposed to come out today?

Jun Senoue says March 10th. Sega.com says Spring 2009. None of the usual sites I go to for release stuff has it in, which is pretty odd considering how easy it is to get a dump of a game.

 

We knew of Shadow and Knuckles since day one, when it was also said that that wasdn't the full cast. I don't think they needed to keep the game as Sonic only time time either. It's the sequel to SatSR so what was established there can be built on. And from the looks of things, they have the same gampley style.

 

Ahh, I was watching the trailer and about half way through I noticed, wait gameplay, Knuckles. You can actually play as the other characters in proper levels. Thats a pretty cool feature I must admit.

Plus, I wasn't expecting to see Jet, but all the same, its nice a addition to the cast. Much better than say, Big or Cream. But still, its was said somewhere that there'd be 12 characters. Not sure if that's true, but it does mean there could still be another few characters we've just to see. Of course, the Knights or the Round table usually had at least 12 members, and there's plenty of characters that sega could yet throw in. Just interested to see what they actually do. Always good to have variety for the crazy multiplayer games.

Anyways, we don't see this game till next friday, but I'll be pre-ordering cause I'm sad. Besides, I've got nothing else better to play.

 

I like the artwork. And Silver and Jet look pretty cool actually.


Well, it's obvious at this point that there are still a "few" more Sonic characters as Knights, if there are going to be twelve multiplayer characters. I'm almost willing to bet we'll see at least Espio, Rouge, and maybe even Big as knights.

 

Actually, Shadow looks to have Chaos Control, which I highly doubt Sonic has, Knuckles looked slower and more powerful, and Blaze looks to have a small bit of Pyrokinetics prowess, like their normal counterparts. All we need is Knuckles to climb up a wall and this game would be complete on the characters behalves. Hopefully the engine will be refined to be more control giving than control taking, and this game may truely be great. Hopes still not raised though.

 

I imagine that if Sonic can slide down walls with his sword, then there's a possibility that Knuckles can climb. It almost looks like he can glide.

 

So I shouldn't start feeling bad for myself that I don't have a Wii?

 

Speaking of Talking swords does anyone remember the Sword of Righteousness episode of Earthworm Jim? That was such a stupid yet hilarious episode. "You will go back in time and put Lincoln's Beard back on him!"

But getting back onto the subject of Sonic and the Black Knight, I looked at the Archie comics adaptation short and It looked alright, yet at the same time the Archie comic series will make anything look better than the games. One of the cool things about the Archie comics series. The only sad part is that there aren't any adaptations that take up one or more issues anymore. Now their all just silly short stories in the back of the book. In other words really bad advertising on their part.
Still I have to go with my friend on the thing I mentioned earlier: The sonic series has become a drug trip. That's actually kind of disappointing in a way but by now everyone knows this so no need to continue any further. I still like the Sonic series and am willing to buy Sonic 06' just to mock how shitty it is. Of course doesn't everyone do that?

 

Here's some fun trivia and I hope Sega will cross this bridge and explain themselves, because this may set off some alarms with the fucking furries of the fanbase:

-Silver is Sir Galahad.
-Shadow is Sir Lancelot.
-No one's really confirmed to be Elaine (if even in the story), the lady of the Holy Grail, but since Amy's already tied as Lady of the Lake, Rouge might take the niche.

On wikipedia:

Oh boy...

 

I said gameplay style, meaning that they may have different behaviour but the way you play the game is more or less the same. Much like the characters in S3&K, except there's no word of alternate paths yet.

 

Is... is that a US trailer using the lyric'd version of the theme? Finally.

I'm willing to give this a go. I didn't really like the pirate theme from SRA, either, but that didn't hinder my enjoyment of the game too much.
