Sonic and The Black Knight

[Sync The Fierce]

Sonic and The Black Knight

No joke here people its really its coming and it kicks @$$!
So basically sonic trades in his spin attacks and homing attacks for a sword apparently caliber
so here's how the plot is gonna go (provided by Wikipedia)

 

A sorceress named Merlina summons Sonic to help free the mystical realm of King Arthur, where King Arthur has been corrupted and is now ruling the realm as the tyrannical Black Knight. Sonic's speed alone will not end The Black Knight's reign, so he must take up the sword in order to break King Arthur's curse and save the kingdom.

Not much is out almost no pics to show and well heres how the game plays gonna go

Gameplay
Provided By Wiki (again Lol)

Gameplay for Sonic and the Black Knight differs from traditional games in the Sonic series by mixing in the new element of swordplay, along with the traditional Sonic platforming and speed. Swordplay is implemented through the Wii Remote. Players will no longer control Sonic's movement on rails as the team say they have learned from the biggest criticisms about it. The gameplay will mainly be 3D, but occasionally the camera will shift to a side-scrolling perspective for traditional 2D gameplay.[4]

Swordplay will be implemented so that players can slice through enemies without slowing down,[4] but when faced with more formidable enemies, players will engage in advanced swordplay, able to thrust, parry, and perform other maneuvers.[4] The sword will not be used just for combat; players may thrust it through a wall while falling to slow their descent.[4]

The stages will feature civilians that the player can choose to help or smite; these actions and the player's deeds will be judged at the end of each stage, updating the player's "knight ranking" accordingly.[4] By helping out citizens, players will be able to purchase new items from them, such as gauntlets, magical tomes, and new swords. There will be about 200 items in the game, some of which can be gained by opening treasure chests in the stages. An online mode will allow treasures to be traded.

The game changes the traditional level items, such as springs and speed pads, into "elements". These elements come in varying colors; red elements will be used as springs, yellow elements will be used as speed boosts, and purple elements will be used to fill up the "special gauge". This gauge is filled by defeating enemies, and is used to unleash a powerful combination attack.[4] Additionally, instead of the rails from previous games, players will fire a ballista and then grind across its rope.[4]

The mission-based system from Sonic and the Secret Rings will also return, but the missions will be easier to complete. Each stage will consist of multiple missions which feature different stipulations.[4] The skill system from the aforementioned game also returns, but will be reviewed to adjust any problems that were present in that game; the skill system is also being designed so as not to interfere with the game's tempo.[4]

Characters:
Sonic is the main playable character.[4] While Knuckles, and Shadow are playable characters, they will be optional.[4] Other non-playable characters include King Arthur, Merlina, and Calibur.[4] Sonic's friends will assume Arthurian persons in the game.[4]

Now something not from Wiki a Trailer!

edit: I take that back, after thinking about it, it seems abit better then what I was thinking
but Still I have my doubts, you just can't brush off the nightmare that is Sonic Next Gen. 

[That Mugen Guy]

the environment looks great

[[Asian-Jesus]]

Wow, it looks better than I thought it would.

and just think they haven't even released a game play video just a trailer 

[tremainekr]

just like when they gave shadow a gun

[Spidermew]

Atleast he isnt turning into a warewolf...in this game...

[ATiC3]

Me and my friend both agree that this game is just an excuse to give sonic a weapon (a.k.a. the sword) kinda like Shadow the Hedgehog was an excuse to give Shadow a gun and a motorcycle...

I think that eventually after this Black Knight & Sonic Unleashed... that they should do a combination of the 2 into 1 game... Sonic w/ sword... and Shadow w/ gun and motorcycle... That would be b@d@$$ .....

Though, they better not screw it up like they did the Shadow the Hedgehog game... gameplay was horrible...

An excuse? I guess you could call it that, but then you have to remember that they're just taking famous stories and putting Sonic in them. Quite frankly, I can't think of anything better than King Arthur. (well, for now at least)

Exactly. It's the next game in the "Storybook Series".

[R.I.C.O - Teros]

I can't wait for this game. I'm looking forward to Unleashed more, but this is looking tight as well.

No it would not. I hated the Shadow game with a passion. The only Sonic game I ever sold... hell it's not even Sonic, it's Shadow.

[Violent Ken Masters]

Meh. Shadow was just SA2 without the lame mech, and hunting levels, with guns, cars, and a ton of endings.

Half of the level design's were ripped right off. Like the falling highway was obviously ripped off the falling space station.

This game will probably be more of the same. The only sonic game I'm looking forward to is Sonic Unleashed because of the 2d segments, and even then I'm feeling a lil iffy with the werewolf thing.

Sega's not Nintendo. They can't do new things with ancient 2d platformers and make it work.

The only thing good that's come from sega within the last decade imo is the Shenmue and Yakuza series, and those aren't platformers, they're more like 3d versions of Streets of Rage.  I think sega should just stick to beat em ups, otherwise they should rip off capcom's idea and make a Sonic 4 using Sonic 3 sprites.

Edit: Another thing I don't like is why are they making so many Sonic games at one time?
Sonic Chronicles, Sonic Unleashed, Sonic and the Black Knight?
I'd rather have 1 good Sonic game then 3 crappy Sonic games.

Quality>Quantity

To be fair, Sonic Chronicles isn't a platformer, it's an RPG. And come on, it's being made by Friggin BIOWARE!

[Nilakantha]

I'm actually glad Sonic is making so many games instead of lame sports games like what Nintendo is doing.  I would prefer Mario to do the same thing and just keep releasing Mario plaform games instead once per console.

[R.I.C.O - Teros]

Meh. Shadow was just SA2 without the lame mech, and hunting levels, with guns, cars, and a ton of endings.

Shadow was not Sonic Adventure 2, i'm sorry, but that's just a failed statement right there.

You haven't even played them (unless you played Chronicles), so what are you talking about 3 crappy Sonic games?

[Negi Springfield]

He clearly stated he liked 1 good game, rather then 3 bad games released in 1 year.
there's no reason to confront that. it's a plain and simple statment.

would you like to use the bathroom 3 times a day? or just get it done all at once?


would you like 3 small snacks, or one good meal?

would you rather have 3 ugly rocks or one good gem?

if you anseared correctly to any of these, you have common sense, except for the bathroom one, some people just have stomach problems.

and no i'm not bashing you, i'm just saying. which would you honestly rather have?

[[Asian-Jesus]]

Um, getting kinda personal in here.

Negi, Teros was just pointing out that those games (save for the RPG) aren't even out yet so VKM can't say that they're crappy.

Also, there's no reason to confront Teros about it.

[Nilakantha]

I agree, Sonic World Adventures and Sonic and the Black Knight look pretty good.

Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow shared a lot of the same things. They play almost the same, except Shadow has guns, the chaos control system, and cars.
This level

ripped way too much off the levels in SA2.
The only good Sonic game that came out after Sonic 3 imo is Sonic Rush.

The reason why all the newer Sonic games is so different from the Sonic Adventure style is because Sega is finally accepting constructive criticism.
Sega is finally understanding that we'd rather have

then

[R.I.C.O - Teros]

The reason why that stage resembles Final Rush is because it's taking place in the same area.

[Nilakantha]

I like SA 1, SA 2, Sonic Heroes, and Sonic 2006 (Though it was glitchy, but had nice looking stages and good music).  Shadow the Hedgehog was pretty fun, it wasn't perfect, but fun.

[Negi Springfield]

well I liked SA:DX and SA2B along with Shadow the Hedgehog.
(yes I got into the "adventure" series late)

[Aura-Master]

man I want the new crush 40 song that the trailer played
