Static Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Sonic was good until the games left Genesis. (the one exception was a computer version of sonic and knuckles I played that was actually very good.) Clearly Nintendo is running out of ideas for Sonic. They should just drop the idea all together.

TAG Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Sonic was good until the games left Genesis. (the one exception was a computer version of sonic and knuckles I played that was actually very good.) Clearly Nintendo is running out of ideas for Sonic. They should just drop the idea all together. o_O wut? Also' date=' for anyone's who's interested, this is what is known about the game so far:[spoiler=What is known']- Developed by the same people as Sonic and the Secret Rings - "This time, a sorceress named Merlina summons Sonic to the mythical realm of King Arthur, but it seems the fabled monarch has somehow been corrupted and now rules the land as the tyranical Black Knight." - Uses a similar storybook device as Sonic and the Secret Rings - "As Sonic runs along, a simple flick of the Wii remote will execute a basic slash, which is enough to dispatch most low-level grunts." - More advanced swordplay consists of the ability to thrust, parry, and even pull off a buzz-saw maneuver midjump. - "During our demo, we saw the hedgehog leap from a high precipice, then thrust the blade into a wall to slow his decent, sparks flying impressivly as steel cut through brick." - "Combat is integrated in such a way that most of the time you can slice through any who stand in your path without even slowing down." - Sonic is controlled with the Control Stick. - "Our hero begins his quest as a mere knave. Only by becoming a full-fledged knight will he have any hope of defeating King Arthur." - "his sword, a talking blade named Calibur, serves as a mentor." - "If you help civilian townfolk in need of assistance, you’ll earn points toward knighthood. If you smite one of those civilians, your reputation will take a hit." - "At the end of each stage, the game tallies your good and not-so-good deeds and updates your rank accordingly." - "Sonic can aquire everything from gauntlets to magical tomes to new swords, and when equipped, each article bestows him with a unique benefit." - "On the audio side, veteran composer Jen Senoue is taking a smiliar approach, injecting familiar Sonic themes with a Celtic flavor." -Sonic uses magic elementals to help him do various things, such as a bounce pad or a speed boost. They look like chao heads. The red ones give him a jump and the blue give Sonic a speed boost. - About 200 items in all, with some being able to be combined with others to make new ones. - You have the option to go online and trade items with friends. - Rings come in burlap sacks instead of monitors. - SBK Bringing back the skill system from Secret Rings, but they’re trying not to have the skill system interfere with the game’s tempo this time around. - The mission structure also returns but the developers hope to make it less arduous. - "Each stage has multiple branching paths and searching for townsfolk and treasure chests provides an element of exploration that recalls Sonic's early Genesis days." - "The camera will occasionally pan to a side-scrolling perspective for a quick dose of classic 2-D action." - "And there will be no dinosaur eggs!" - ”When people see that Sonic is wielding a sword, they’ll probably have certain expectations of the multiplayer mode. And all I can say is that we’re thinking along those same lines.” - "Just as they subbed in for such characters as Ali Baba and Aladdin in Sonic and the Secret Rings, a number of familiar faces will assume Arthurian personas in SBK." - "This time, however, some of Sonic's friends will be playable. Each hero will boast unique abilities, and though the team isn't ready to divulge the full cast just yet, we do know the identities of two playable comrades: Knuckles, who brandishes two swords at once, and Shadow." - Playing as these other characters is entirely optional. You will be able to play through game as Sonic, or switch to the other characters if you choose. - "While the old guages from Secret Rings are gone, a new special guage will “bestow him with similarly impressive powers. The meter fills gradually whenever Sonic vanquishes an enemy or snags a purple elemental, and when it reaches a certain point you can unleash a powerful combination attack capable of tearing through multiple foes in quick succession. You simply press the B button to lock onto the nearest enemy, flick the remote to strike him down, then press B again to move onto the next unfortunate soul. If you chain together enough smitings before the guage is depleted, Sonic will receive a speed burst at the end of the string." - "the team behind Sonic and the Black Knight is keenly aware of the franchise's past missteps, and their enthusiasm for doing right by the series is infections."

End Of The Abyss Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Sonic With a Sword? That really is Gay. You would think Super Speed' date=' homing attacks and Super Sonic Transformation would be enough to defend ones-self.[/quote'] I support that. Sonic doesn't need a sword. This game is going to suck just like every other game coming out soon. Really...their ideas are just dumb and uninteresting. I'll wait until it gets down to...$1.50' date=' then I'll buy it...maybe...[/quote'] Spore is coming out soon. Yayz! SPORE KICKS @55! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickiMinaj Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 WTF *walks away slowly* I walk in there for 2 seconds and burn my eyes. Ive never seen something that stupid since Barney. I need ice for my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSS Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Wait what the hell?i mean they are making Sonic Unleashed witch is returning to the originaland now they screw everything with this lame Sonic Sword stuff....dude the new team that makes this game sucks...why don't they just remake sonic 1,2,3, adventure 1 and 2 with Next gen graphics WHY? *cries in a corner*but hey until i see some trailer of sreenshots i will still dislike the idea of Sonic with a sword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SushiTheLegend Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Am i the ONLY one who finds this cool?I personally think that Sonic looks totally bad*** with that. But it's the fact that he doesn't need it that makes it totally stupid. He's got freakin super speed and can saw and/or cut through a good number of things by spin dashing' date=' like a sword. The sword just makes things incredibly redundant. Now, if it were just the fist, then that would be a totally different story.[/quote']TAG pretty much said it exactly, unless the sword can grant him special powers like how it worked with The Secret Rings then it might bring some promise, otherwise I think they should have sent him to the dark ages where his friends were all dark age versions with weapons now that would be awesome.

SushiTheLegend Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 From what DSS has shown I think this game has the potential to do well for the franchise, we will just have to see what happens. I like the idea of King Arther as it adds an interesting twist to the whole storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
