Probably going to tackle Journey to the West (Monkey King story right?) eventually. Really, i'm not sure how far they could take this. There arent THAT many famous "action packed" timeless stories. Wizard of Oz is possible (Emerald City is a given).

Sonic's Odyssey

Sonic in Wonder Land (? . . . could work)

Sonic and Peter Pan

Sonic and Robin Hood

Thats as fare as I can add up. I could see the Peter Pan and Odyssey ones working out.

I wonder if this is the style of the cut scenes. (2D!?!?!)

Just stick Sonic in an open world neo-punk tokyo city where he can run up walls and do whatever the fuck he wants. Yes, you can still add your weak ass anime dynasty story line by way of the levels/story based missions. But the meat of the game should be speed, speed based time trials, speed based puzzles involving the city, finding short cuts and shit. I mean, it aint fucking hard.

I just hope I'm able to finish the final boss fight in this game. Defeating the final boss in Secret Rings was such an annoying waggle fest. Ugh.

MTV posted a preview of the game:

http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2009/01/28/hands-on-with-the-wiis-sonic-and-the-black-knight/

And WiiNintendo posted character model sheets:

http://www.wiinintendo.net/2009/01/28/sonic-and-the-black-knight-character-models/

AND Dengeki DS Magazine showed some new screens of the game, one that shows a 2D cutscene showing Sonic and Tails. There are renders of Knuckles, Shadow, Tails, and Amy as well!

And there are a couple of multiplayer shots, they're simply a zoomed out arena-type of multiplayer matches.

Tails fits. For some reason I don't think Amy does.

Shadow looks pretty cool, I guess.

I'm really just playing the waiting game for this game right now, just waiting for it to come out so I can play it and have this whole cycle over again. Would have been much better if it was being released in February like Secret Rings was, that game was such a boost for me that Feb.

According to those character sheets, Knuckles is Gawain, Shadow is Lancelot, and Blaze is Percival.

So... Knuckles killed a woman by accident, Shadow fucked the King's wife and also fathered an illegitimate child with another woman, and Blaze is not really that special because Shadow's illegitimate son takes all the glory.

The game may have been bumped up by a week early in NA!

March 3rd:

http://www.ebgames.com/Catalog/ProductDeta...roduct_id=72199

March 5th:

http://www.gamefly.com/products/detail.asp?pid=133515

March 10th:

http://www.gamecrazy.com/games/game.aspx?id=13799&LF=GB

March 3rd:

http://www.amazon.com/Sonic-Black-Knight-N...4660&sr=1-1

Before the game was listed for the 10th on EB and I think Amazon as well, maybe even at GameFly too.

Odd.

And, here's Amazon's description of the game:

- Intense sword-wielding action: For the first time ever, players can vanquish their foes using lightning-fast sword combos.
- Thirteen interactive environments set in the world of King Arthur: Players can jump onto a giant crossbow to propel themselves over moats, scale castle walls and prepare to meet surprising new creatures and enemies.
- Upgradable attacks and power moves: As players progress they can level up and gain access to special attacks and powers geared to fit their preferred style of gameplay.
- Multiplayer sword battles: Playing as one of four familiar characters from the Sonic universe, gamers can duke it out against up to three other players.

So we have 13 environments this time! A nice bump up from Unleashed, which had 9 in the PS360 versions (well... 18 if you count both the daytime and night levels as seperate...) And it only says that four characters are playable in multiplayer mode. Maybe we thought we saw Tails in that screenshot in the scan?

Yeah, I'm a bit confused as well.

And how many environments did Secret Rings have again?

Didn't a bump exactly like that happen to Sonic and the Secret Rings. I'm pretty sure it did...

A bump up is always a good thing. It means they are pretty much done, and it's ready to go. It's presence at New York Comic Con this Feb is proof as well.

I like Tails Blacksmith look. Amy looks like Queen Minnie from Kingdom Hearts.

I guarantee it'll come out some time after release that this wasn't originally developed to be a Sonic title.

What parallel universe are you from in which it would make more sense for Sonic Team to start developing a new IP as opposed to launching straight into a sequel to the successful and fairly well-received Secret Rings?

One problem I have with the game is that the multiplayer once again seems tacked on. Only four characters to chose from? Just like with Secret Rings, they shouldn't even bother with multiplayer unless you are racing the levels.

I was at the Euro event, here are some more bits:

- Sonic and the Black Night European release: 13th March
- No Wii MotionPlus on this game. They never confirmed that feature (although someone said that Nintendo Power said that)
- They have implemented HDR lighting. First time for SEGA in Wii.
- Let's Tap will come to Europe this Summer. No release date yet. (also in the Let's Tap thread)

http://www.revogamers.net/noticias-3293-Sonic-el-13-de-marzo-y-Let's-Tap-en-verano.html

I'll try and put some Sonic impressions later. I liked Tap more, though.
