New Black Knight Screens

Mike Taylor | December 1, 2008

In the wake of Unleashed, SOE release new shots of Black Knight.

It’s easy to forget that there is already another Sonic game round the corner in the wake of Unleashed (I know I forgot about a lot of things this weekend from playing Unleashed). Well, SOE have sent us all a little reminder this morning that Black Knight is still on it’s way, and by the look of the screens that have been sent out it’s not looking too bad at all.

These are some great visuals from the new story book based installment. The screenshots feature some nice contrasting images of dark and light levels, including some nice looking sunsets and some lush looking green feilds. The shots also confirm the inclusion of Knuckles as a foe for Sonic in the story.

    Sonic won, hands down.

    @Mark Chao: Sonic won what?

  3. Robert on December 1st, 2008 10.45 am

    So thats how Knuckles looks like, looks interesting, though its a little hard to see.

  4. Oznic on December 1st, 2008 11.15 am

    YAY! Knuckles is back! :)

  5. Kaylun on December 1st, 2008 11.32 am

    This looks great! It’s like Werehog minus arm pain with speed! With Knuckles! Gotta see Shadow! The graphics seem to have improved a bit though…

  6. Sonication on December 1st, 2008 1.20 pm

    Impressive! I am getting a feeling that this game will somehow be better than Sonic Unleashed.

    BTW, how much do you guys wanna bet that the Black Knight/King Arthur’s persona is Dr. Eggman? :lol:

  7. Acell on December 1st, 2008 2.30 pm

    I douubt he is eggman. The trailer shows the black knight who is not fat

  8. Mark Chao on December 1st, 2008 3.09 pm

    Sorry, but Eggman wouldn’t fit in the armor.

    Well, well, well. If it isn’t Sonication. Agreeing with me me. Going against what he’s been saying for months. OH HO HO

    i see 2d ^^

  11. Sonication on December 1st, 2008 3.59 pm

    Well, Eggman was the persona of that king guy in Secret Rings. That’s why I suggested the idea.

    @Soul the Hedgehog: What’s that? Oh yeah! Just blah blah blah!

  12. Fairfieldfencer on December 1st, 2008 4.33 pm

    Knux is rocking!

    Soni: Exactly. rofl, moar falur

    Triple F: I know. If only the image were clearer?

  14. Nos is Lethal on December 1st, 2008 4.46 pm

    @Acell: Maybe Eggman got liposuction =D

  15. Crazee on December 1st, 2008 5.38 pm

    It’ll be better than Wii Unleashed, since it’s designed for the system yet contains many of the better concepts from Unleashed(2D/3D transitions, unique wiimote controls using the nunchuk for movement and not tilting, open and bright worlds) while incorporating pure Sonic gam,eplay(albeit with a sword).

    As long as you go faster than Secret Rings, it’ll be solid.

    360 Unleashed is still better, though.

  16. ratchet on December 1st, 2008 6.15 pm

    Nice! look like the graphics has improved, it look better then the first time I have seen it.

  17. iNAUDiBLE on December 1st, 2008 6.16 pm

    Verily, tis a ye old good tyme for a Sonic and Knuckles throwdown! Now with 99% moar swordplay!

    The dual swords are awesome as I expected them, but why the helmet? Isn’t Knuckles’ head hard enough to deflect blows? XD

    The game is gorgeous, utterly gorgeous. The villagers look a bit weird, but either that’s because they’re…placeholders or because they’ve been cursed. Anybody else see the resemblence between them and Brobee from Yo Gabba Gabba?

  18. Aregulardude on December 1st, 2008 6.55 pm

    Jeez, so many things look soo out of place for Arthurian legends. Railroad tracks, giant green trolls pulling huge carts, Knuckles with a scimitar, those little men in green hoods who remind me a little bit of Jawas…
    Oh well, if the game is good, I won’t complain about the little things… After all, SR was based on Arabian Nights and we got dinosaurs in there too…

  19. Aregulardude on December 1st, 2008 6.56 pm

    Well… Jawas with faces… actually… lol.

    has anyone noticed that thatwhen sonic and knuckles are fighting by stonehenge

  23. Sonication on December 1st, 2008 10.19 pm

    I am so glad to see Knuckles!

    SLJCOAAATR / Soul the Hedgehog: Oh yeah. I forgot. Crappy Holidays to you too! :wink:

  24. Wolly da wanderer on December 1st, 2008 10.52 pm

    *smiles* Tripping the rift.

  25. Kits'Okami on December 2nd, 2008 6.44 am

    VERY interesting to see Knuckles as a bad guy again… Though I dunno what my little brother (who loves Knuckles) is gonna say when he sees this!

    … What? No Black Knight bashing this time round? Geez, Kits, summat’s wrong with you…

  26. Mark Chao on December 2nd, 2008 9.11 am

    This is probably, hands down, better than Unleashed no matter what.
    By giving him a sword and being able to not slow down while slashing (unless it’s a bigger and tougher foe), and Knuckles as a boss, this is going to be awesome.

  27. Kaylun on December 2nd, 2008 9.48 am

    Sonic: With this blade, I vanquish thee with the mighty blue steel of Calibur!
    Knuckles: Nay, do not show mercy! I deserve the pit of my family name. Do what please thee-self, take the life of mine. Do your right justice, and kill I, who has disgraced the name of the Chuckles. Allow me to rest in no peace with the family I have disgraced so…
    Sonic: Chill out man, I was only kidding.
    Knuckles: Thou dare taunt me, blueist spikey Hedge of the Hog? Let my skills of the rap astound you! (Starts rapping Wild Canyon)
    Sonic: That’s crunk man.
    Knuckles: I acept your compliment.

  28. SLJCOAAATR / Soul the Hedgehog (You can call me either SLJ, or Soul) on December 2nd, 2008 3.39 pm

    You too, Soni. rofl

  29. Crescent-White-As-Snow on December 2nd, 2008 6.06 pm

    Omg!! That one dude in the tenth pic is Knux?! :O omg! He looks good :D

    Cripes…gotta get me hands on this game!

  30. Shadowsgal101 on December 2nd, 2008 8.05 pm

    I’m with Kaylun. Gotta see Shadow!!

  31. Shadowsgal101 on December 2nd, 2008 8.07 pm

    And it’s good to see Knuckles is coming in with another way instead of one of Sonic’s Rivals. :D This time he looks like a good opponent.

  32. Storm on December 2nd, 2008 9.21 pm

    Knuckles! Aside from Sonic and Shadow, he’s my favy! And a bad guy again! Way past cool! XD *shot*

    …..want……..Shadz…….x_x
