Looks like you're pretty f[COLOR=lightgreen]u[/COLOR]cked, Sonic!

Pimp sword, you should see mines though.

maybe later

THIS is the exclusive Nintendo Power was talking about?


*weeps*

Nothing says SONIC SPEED like lugging around a 30+ pound sword.




Posted by maian

Silly Dan, video game swords don't weigh anything!




Posted by Ant

Still, we all know how weapons went last time they had them put in a hedgehog game. Sonic Team really shouldn't be allowed to make sonic games anymore. They ****ing suck at it.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Imagine someone giving the cover of this Nintendo Power to you a year ago.

Dead Rising on the Wii. Chrono Trigger on the DS. Sonic with a sword. Ghosbusters game. HEAD. EXPLODE.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

So... we got a ristar-clone werewolf and now a sword. Wonder what Sonic Team brainstorm sessions are like.

Bet the guy wishes he'd removed his address before posting that scan on /v/.

What ever happened to just simply jumping on an enemy to kill it?




Posted by Fragliche

I'm honestly waiting to see them announce "Sonic & the Stellar Guitar" or some bull**** like that.

It turns out it's twice as hard in 3D.




Posted by Kutlass

does not look generic sword-wielding douchebag hero enough. needs moar armer. cover up his entire face and body to hide the disgrace he has become!

[COLOR="Yellow"]Good thing i never really liked the Sonic series or i would've committed suicide by now.[/COLOR]




Posted by Shade

Could be interesting.

Chop till you drop? bol




Posted by Iris

idk, Sonic only sucks on consoles now. The handhelds haven't been as miserable, mostly because they haven't changed as much from the Genesis.

Whatever happened to needing muscles to lift sword longer than yourself?

Quoting Iris: idk, Sonic only sucks on consoles now. The handhelds haven't been as miserable, mostly because they haven't changed as much from the Genesis.


So Sonic Chronicles or whatever its called on the DS from Bioware is going to suck?

Final Fantasy got rid of that.

It's on the DS right? Probably not.




Posted by Zeta

I'm willing to bet Shadow will be in the game.

And he'll have an even bigger sword.

That shoots bullets.

Zeta for Prophet '08

Bashing games that we haven't even played yet and therefore can't really have a valid opinion of is soooo much fun

The Cycle is never wrong.

Never.

This is Sonic's triumphant return

I don't care WHAT you all say




Posted by Alastor

Suddenly, three new characters confirmed for Sonic Unleashed.




Posted by O.T.L

I have high hopes for THIS game.




Posted by Prince Shondronai

Yeah, even if Sonic Unleashed turns out to have a leash after all, this is made by the same people who made Sonic and the Secret Rings, which was pretty cool. They're even addressing some of the things from SR that weren't quite so cool, like the jumble of pointless missions and the ability modifiers that really didn't do too much.




Posted by Zeta


Quoting Alastor: Suddenly, three new characters confirmed for Sonic Unleashed.


SCORCH THE DRAGON
KANE THE SORCERER
HELMS THE PALADIN



Posted by Prince Shondronai

Those are new characters from Sonic and the Black Knight, not Sonic Unleashed, right? In any event, Nintendo Power reports that you are not required to play as anyone but Sonic during SatBK. You can choose other characters, but you don't have to play through any part of the game with them.




Posted by Alastor

What I was getting at is that Sonic Unleashed is supposed to be the big "triumphant return" title, not Black Knight.

Quoted post: Bashing games that we haven't even played yet and therefore can't really have a valid opinion of is soooo much fun


It's a console sonic game. That doesn't apply to this.

and what does Link say about it?

Sonic with sword, confirmed for Brawl.

What's with the ducks?



Posted by Zeta

I believe those are geese, good sir.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

it symbolizes the average sonic fan. You flock to the game when the going is good and everything looks right, but as the cycle wears on suddenly it looks less and less appealing so you fly to greener pastures.

spring and winter, see?

From what I can tell the game actually looks pretty retarded!

OH NO. WE WEREN'T EXPECTING THIS.




Posted by Prince Shondronai

I was expecting better. Secret Rings is a good game, there's no reason why Black Knight shouldn't have been at least as good. I'll reserve final judgement until after I've tried the game, because Matt's been acting like a tool since the GAMECUBE days and I've liked games that have gotten poor review scores before, but this is still disappointing.




Posted by Linko_16

And so the vague optimism that Sonic Unleashed mostly not sucking bestowed in me is dashed.

EDIT - I'm reading that there's a lot of talk that this particular interview is being received as too negative than the game deserves. Not that my optimism is much less dashed, but, well, I'll see what the eventual rental tells me.




Posted by Ant

What a shame.

Yeah, I'm hearing that a lot too, Linko. Like I said, Matt's been way too harsh on anything Nintendo-exclusive for awhile now.
