New Sonic and the Black Knight trailer released.

Sonic Unleashed may have just recently released on multiple platforms, but that isn't going to stop Sega from pumping out one more exclusively for the Wii. Sonic and the Black Knight is a direct sequel to Secret Rings and sees the spiky blue mammal transport into a world that supposedly resembles Arthurian England, where an evil Dark Knight is trying to kidnap a Princess or something. Unlike Secret Rings however, this game will use a Wii remote and nunchuck control scheme similar to that of Sonic Unleashed, therefore ditching the useless tilt gimmick.

Ever consider that maybe someone at Sonic Team is obsessed with Zelda? I mean we saw Sega use the Werewolf mechanic that was used in Twilight Princess, but I think the sword play mixed with a Dark Knight on a horse (Ganondorf) and a pointy eared Princess (Zelda) is kind of pushing it a bit. I'll leave it up to you guys though.

Not surprised. Hopefully it won't suck. I see the simiarities to Zelda, as well... trying to rip off of (or at least make refferences to) famous series in hopes of sales, anyone?

Well at least they won't use the Secret Rings controls, they sucked.

It's just supposed to be based on another story. Secret Rings was based around the Arabian Nights, this one is based around King Arthur.
I don't see it as a Zelda rip at all.

Also, the girl in the trailer with the pointy ears looks a lot like Shara from Secret Rings.

It looks like it's gonna be cool to me, I liked S&TSR even with the annoying controls.
This one looks much better and it sounds like the controls might be fixed.

Yeah, I definately see the relation to Zelda in this one. It doesn't look like a bad game though, but I have Sonic and the Secret Rings and to be honest, I don't really like it. I was actually bored with it in less than an hour when I first got it. It wasn't good. Hopefully, this one will be better. [:

Sonic and the Secret Rings was okay, but the on-rails system wasn't the best. Where it hurt the most was when you missed something, it was a pain having to go backwards to try to get it.

If it looks like it's copying something, it looks like Sonic Unleashed. The gameplay looks very similar. They probably used the engine for Sonic Unleashed on the Wii and modified it for Sonic to use a sword. But that's not a bad thing. Sonic Unleashed for the Wii was very good. I have both the Wii and PS3 version and I really liked both of them.

Re: New Sonic and the Black Knight trailer released.

I have a baaaaad feeling about this game.
But of course Nintendo Power who seems to love Sonic games now (ever since Mario and Sonic at the olympic games) will rate it high and trick all the kiddies into buying it and then the game will subliminally hammering the lies into their head that they're playing a decent game.
