ShadowV7 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Well this looks like it's real. While no-one else seems to have NP, it seems SEGA has bought the domain 'SonicandtheBlackKnight.com'. Now we just some news about it from NP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I've long since convinced myself that the entire Sonic franchise is now a bet to see how far they can push the public. Right now the mere fact that there are still people prepared to buy their games is the single most impressive feature the series has to offer.

Shorty Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I think Kotaku summed this up perfectly for me in their post title: "New Sonic Wii Game Revealed, Brings Much Needed Swordplay To Series" hahaha. I'd be 100x more excited to hear STH3 and S&K were coming to XBLA and could be combined to play the full experience, than I am about the prospect of Sonic with a sword. Seriously, who thinks of this stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, who thinks of this stuff? Sonic 3 and Knuckles is my favourite platformer ever It's just amazing; good storyline, alternate end levels for both sonic and knuckles AND alternate passageways It's a joy to play through the sonic 3 with knuckles and take all of the alternate passages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintenchris Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Why shoe horn Sonic into a game where he has to use a sword, whats wrong with new IP's. I know no one expects Sonic games to be good any more but theres only so many crap games Sonic fans will buy before they stop. And yes i understand thats only artwork but knowing sega ... Sonic will have to use a sword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympic Gamer Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Fuck off Sega, seriously, fuck off. I am getting really sick of this crap, STOP GIVING US SONIC GAMES!!!!!!!! Please give us something else from your company. Uhm gee... shut the fuck up? Most retarded statement I've seen in all my livelong, have a trophy, but at your expense. The problem is not that Sega are shifting Sonic games, but the quality control ever since Sonic Team have not worked on any of them. The rate of Sonic games is pretty much on par with that of Mario's, Mario Tennis, Mario Football, Mario Party etc. The problem is not the quantity, but the qaulity, and this is where Sega's problem is, ofcourse they arent going to stop shovelling Sonic games out, it still to an extent their mascot, so if your complaining about the qauntity, why the fuck arent you bashing Mario whenever a new game comes? Just give it a wait and see like the new game. I agree however, despite by obvious Sonic fandom, the games for the last few years have been absolute filth (Except Sonic Rush). The last time I loved a 3D title was Sonic Adventure 2, and everything since has been awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympic Gamer Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Secret Rings was also pretty good. My lack of a Wii has prevented me from playing that, so I guess a was a bit bias regarding every game since being awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Give me a 2.5D side scrolling Smash bros Brawl-like Sonic game please. Playing as Sonic In Brawl on the Green Hill Stage is the closest experience to this :*( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing as Sonic In Brawl on the Green Hill Stage is the closest experience to this :*( It wont happen, but I wish it would stick to this. Sega seem to be determined to make it fit in with the 3D crowd but its doing it horribly wrong and should attempt at an amazing 2D adventure.

gaggle64 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Secret Rings was easily the best Sonic game in the last decade or so. Secret Rings was an OK game. OK, but not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren of Heavens Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 But why didn't they show it at E3? I guess the gameplay will be somewhat similar to Dragon Quest Swords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 But why didn't they show it at E3? I guess the gameplay will be somewhat similar to Dragon Quest Swords. How can the game play be anything like that? First person, on rail slasher? Not really Sonic like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Day Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 How can the game play be anything like that? First person, on rail slasher? Not really Sonic like. As much as I'm for expansion and don't really mind Sega pumping out quite a few Sonic titles (like stated earlier, its the quality issue here rather than quantity) something I'd be quite confident that wouldn't really work is a on-rail Sonic slasher. Well, we only have some cover art here so everything is just speculation so I really think we should wait till we atleast see some footage. This could be Sonic's revival, who knows, I'm just saying its ridiculous to totally shoot down a game just because we've got an image (not even an in-game image) of Sonic holding a sword.

Guest Maase Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 First gameplay video... It looks damn awesome to me, but how's gonna work? Is it going to be 2D all the game? That would suck as hell :\ Sonic isn't made for 2D, is for 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would suck as hell :\ Sonic isn't made for 2D, is for 3D. Sonic is way better in 2D, alot of the 2D games were awesome while alot of the 3D ones just sucked.

By the way, for anyone who's read this far, don't click the link. I agree, the 2D to 3D ratio in terms of how good Sonic games are definitely lean (maybe saying lean is an understatement) to the 2D side, Sega just hasn't seemed to have cracked the 3D universe with Sonic (although there have been a couple which have been decent in my opinion like Secret Rings and Sonic Adventure 2) But, I still think they can take the blue fury wonder to some heights in 3D, which is why I'll be following this, although I certainly wouldn't complain if we got a 2.5D game in which we see Sonic doing his thing; running at top speed! Oh, and RickRolling just isn't the way to go!! (considering when this was announced, I can't believe I clicked the link) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Secret Rings was also pretty good. What, are you shitting me? I'd be tempted to say it was the worst game I've ever played, and I mean that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
