    I still love the way that box art looks. Yoshitaka Miura is doing a great job on art direction. I assume he's leading the art in here since he did for secret rings. Also, he wasn't in sonic unleashed, so that makes sense. It'll definetly turn out better than the last game, as they're more experienced with the whole control scheme. Since Secret Rings was in fact programmed over a period of one year while the art and concept was done for at least 2.
    There's no reason for black knight to be programmed in one year. They had to for Secret Rings b/c sega wanted the game to come out as soon as possible for the wii.

    I have faith in it. And I'm in the minority when I say I'm actually more interested in it than Unleashed. I love the whole sword thing. It shows they're not aftraid to make sonic do something new.
    What did fans expect. Another runner platformer? You got that with sonic unleashed. Not every sonic has to be the same concept.

    The only way this storybook series (oh god, it's official now) will be any good for the next installment is if (a) Secret Ring's control setup is abolished forever as of Black Knight for a traditional one and (b) the third game is indeed Egyptian and sees Sonic taking on Ra on Abydos ;P

    20,000 Sonics under the sea, War of the Sonic, Sonicstien, Wait... wait... they only seem to be choosing bad overdone stories. Sorry.
     
  4. I think with this they're just trying to get to the 'kids'. I mean, unleashed was difficult and fun, (especially last stage <<) but I think this will just be easy and 'fun' for kids that is. I can just see people playing this on wii with smiles plastered on their faces.


    Edit:

    So it'll kinda be like mario party? Except not like mario party. Dunno, just seems they're trying different things for kids and adults. Since we all know they don't really mix (Shadow the hedgehog <.<)

    Basically, a 'casual' subseries to go along with the main 'hardcore' games? That actually kind of sounds like a good idea on Sega's part - satisfying both sides of the fanbase. Since they apparently can't do it simultaneously in one game, they can do it seperately. Just as long as they don't all turn into casual games, I'm satisfied. I hope this means we won't get won't get 10 casual games per-decent game like the Mario series, though. Seems to me as though they'd just continue the pattern:

    Storybook Game -> Main Series Game -> Storybook Game -> Main Series Game and so on

    Which sounds good to me.

    What are you crazy? They already did desert/arabian. Egyptian is nearly the same setting.

    There's a shitload of difference in between Arabian Nights and Egyptian mythology, only the scenario would be quite alike.
    But what I would really like is a Greek mythology based Sonic game, if there would be a third "Sonic Storyline Series". Sonic destroying the titans and all.

    I dunno, I think it's going to be the Jungle Book. The other two films are based at least partially on material that Disney also used (what with Aladdin and Sword in the Stone), so why not go for a trifecta?

    So long as their doing books, how about...

    'Sonic of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Chao', 'I, Sonic', '198-Sonic', or maybe 'Sonic and the Three Little Pigs' and it's exciting follow-up, 'Sonic and the Three Little Pigs go to Market'.

    ...Actually, to be honest, I'd like to see 'I, Sonic' in respect to the movie adaptation, seeing as you can replace all the robots with Metal Sonic and 'Sonny' with, like, Mecha/Silver/MS Silver Sonic or vice versa. On that same note, it can all go back to hell with the Shadow androids...

    A room filled with Shadow androids? lolSonicHeroes
    Anyways, I'm actually intrigued with this game. It looks pretty damn good, and <3 that boxart.
    Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

    While we're at it, what about Sonic and the 10 Commandments? Imagine zooming through the parted red sea, and no I do not mean like the Kingdom Valley mach speed section. And the golden calf could turn into some kind of boss you have to fight. Instead of a sword, you could use your staff to make various stuff happen. They could also cover all of the plagues as different stages, like running across the ocean of blood (though to keep it kiddy-safe they'd probably have to change the blood to oil or something), having to deal with swarms of locusts that try to blow you off the path, and having to dodge molten rock from the sky.

    ...Wow, I hope I don't get in trouble for this. D:

    You missed the joke, I was talking about a Sonic Stargate =P
     
  17. My vote goes to Sonic versus the Injuns.

    I haven't really looked into what has been revealed about this game, exept one picture, but I can see it being kinda... werehoggy. I got Unleashed today (Xmas) and have played about 30 seconds of werehog gameplay, and it was quite annoying. I can once again see Sonic being slow (IIRC due to a dual-handed sword) and having to stop to attack, so hopefully there will be some other form of gameplay aswell. I personally hope for (but don't expect) more weapons, some form of free-roaming levels, and for once I actually wouldn't mind a SatSR mission list. If they do steer away from classic gameplay again, I just hop they don't bring back popular yet unfitting gimmicks like springs and rings... They would be out of place in a sword game.

    EDIT: Just the slightest bit of investigation is actually getting me interested. From what I have read on Wikipedia, the sword Calibur will act as a guide, and the 2D/3D view switch will return from Unleashed. Another thing am excited is that Jun Senoue will be 'mixing familiar Sonic themes with a Celtic style'. To me, this means GHZ's theme on a lute. That is arguably the gaming soundtrack of 2009 :P It also says the rest of Crush 40 will help compose the main theme, which seems a little out there, because I ddn't particularly love 'Seven Rings in Hand', though with a Celtic theme, I have high hopes for the music, and other aspects of the game!
