Okay, Knuckles and Shadow are nice, kind of surprised Blaze is in and is fightable (and possibly playable). Wonder what this means for Tails, Amy, Rogue, E-123 Omega, Cream, and Eggman? And being Blaze has been confirmed, wonder if that also means Big, Silver, and Shade are going to be in?

Where the hell is Fang the Sniper or Bean the Dynamite or Bark the Polar Bear, why do you hate your 90's characters SEGA?

Really, from the looks of the controls, this is another Super Mario Galaxy, replacing "Super" and "Galaxy" and changing "Mario" to "Sonic". When it comes to seeing quality sword games, I think I'll wait until the new Zelda comes out (MotionPlus).

Aeth, I agree with you. Hope silver and tails will be playable too. Do you think this game will follow sonic unleashed with eggman being shot down from final boss to big wimp?

When is sonic and the black knight coming out?

Aeth said:

Well if you look at the boxart of the game, above Sonic you'll see this heavily armored knight with a not so friendly stare in his eyes. My guess is he is either the big boss or a super strong minion (possibly the Black Knight). So I think it is highly likely Eggman would once again be taking a back seat for this game.

I really hate how eggman must always have to be the big joke of the current sonic games. Why can't he redeem himself to become a bad ass final boss just like Bowser did in Super Mario Galaxy.

This game still looks like a lost cause.

Agreed, Brawler. They're doing and entering a realm of gaming they really shouldn't. Another (possibly last) game doomed for failure (probably). I'll just put a tiny bit of hope up there though.

I hope they make Knuckles a credible character like he used to be, I wish that were possible for Shadow. I like that Blaze (a character from one of the few good games Sonic has recently) made it in too.

Wii Rox said:

I also wouldn't want a large clutter of characters for this game so hopefully, no cream, no Omega (as cool as he may be, no fang, no bean, no bark tails, amy, and maybe rouge would be acceptable though. Oh, and NO SILVER, I hate him with a passion.

I hope it's at least better than unleashed.

Darunia said:

That knight is King Arthur, aka the black knight. If you read Nintendo power, aeth, look closely.

I thought this was going to be like a sequel to Sonic and the secret Rings. Oh well, it's much better now.

When is Sonic's brother going to be in a game?

Kadeb said:

Guys, why are you so negative about this game? You didn't even play it. So end your negative talking. I think it will be great game.

Unknown said:

I know that Tails is going to be a blacksmith in the game. Sonic's sword might be able to talk to help you throughout.

Wii Rox said:

What brother?

Diddy Kong Lover said:

SEGA should take a break from Sonic and bring back old franchises namely Panzer Dragoon, Ecco the Dolphin or Astal even. Kadeb Sonic hasn't been in an even mediocre game since Shadow the Hedgehog and certainly not a worthwhile one since Sonic Adventure 2. You don't have to play it to hate it when a reputation has started.

At least, Eggman is the true last boss in Sonic Rush (making team cooperate with Eggman Nega). And in the Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, even if you never fight against Eggman in this game (he is a playable character), Eggman is certainly evil in the end. I'm thinking that Sonic and the Black knight is a nice game, especially with Knuckles, Shadow and Blaze as playables.

I hope this game turns out to be great. Sonic is really going downhill nowadays and it's sad. I've been a Sonic fan since the franchise made its debut on the Genesis. While I look forward to the new games, and always have, it still saddens me why people bash Sonic so much. Why do they bash the later games when at the same time they never even played them, not even once? Playing them might change your mind. In other words, I hope Shadow and Rouge get back together again. They're like made for each other and I've always thought of them as a couple since Sonic Adventure 2, and pretty much the only Sonic couple that is likely to prevail. It makes me mad when fan peeps want Rouge to end up with Knuckles. You know, if you paid any attention to the storylines, Knuckles does not care for Rouge. He just wants his Master Emerald back. He sees her as a rival and nothing more. Screw the fact that Rouge "has a crush on Knuckles". She flirts with everyone. If that is the case, does this mean you want to pair Tails up with Rouge because she kissed him in Sonic X once? No. The same probably goes with Knuckles, Sonic, and everyone else. Isn't Knuckles paired with some female echidna in one of the games or comics anyway? If that's so he's already taken. Of all the guys Rouge flirts with, Shadow cares for her the most (the reason why I prefer him to be with Rouge) and he normally isn't the friendly type like Sonic and his friends are. There is a lot of canon evidence of Shadow and Rouge being together in recent games. According to the guide for Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) for PS3/X360, it "officially" states that Rouge has feelings for Shadow and Knuckles. It is a love triangle at this point. Anyone who thinks Shadow and Rouge as just bro/sis is delusional because they're not related so there is no reason of them not being a couple. Shadow shows more emotion then normally when he's with Rouge. I also hope that future Sonic games goes back to it's roots. I miss the days where Tails followed Sonic, Sonic alone fought Robotnik and the birds, rabbits and other animals (or flowers in the case of Sonic CD) would pop out of enemies after destroying them. At least back in those days there was no horrible fanfiction and people did not bash the games at all. Where did the spirit of old-skool go? I have nothing against the recent titles but I think Sonic would succeed more if it went back to its roots, because the older Sonic games were considered classics by many.
