Includes First look at HUD Setup
Just in minutes ago, with thanks to a news tip from edzepp, we learned of a couple new screenshots and a new trailer released for Sonic and the Black Knight through the way of Japanese site GPara.
The screens include some CGI elements, as well as a first look at the HUD system. Right now, the HUD appears quite clean, and it appears the true staples of Sonic gameplay–collecting rings and time elements–will remain here.
Some thus far have reported problems with viewing the trailer. So, we’ve hosted just the screenshots here, below. You can go here to watch the video directly. As always, keep checking back for the latest information regarding Sonic and the Black Knight, and if you have a news tip, click the “News Tips” link above and tell us what you know.
EDIT: Also with thanks to edzepp who commented below, we can now give you a direct look at a working trailer, with a courtesy to Gamekyo. Take a look below.

















There is a better (well, watchable) version up at Gamekyo right now.

Thanks much! =)

Ehh…Merlina is not hot looking and looks about my age O.o
If you stop the trailer at 20 seconds you can see Sonic holding a chili dog.
I just grabbed the screen shot and uploaded it to photobucket
Oh boy, I’m sorry about this triple response, I thought my link would work in the last message. I think I figured it out though

Wow Sonic pulled off some Shinobi speed on 00:15.
oh what happt day!!
now i know why it called knight of the wind he gets wind in this and had fire in the last
… Good Lord, that’s badass. 0_0
This raven looks good^^ so real-life
Tha’ts so awsome, that black bird(Don’r remember the name in englishXD) look so real so I first though it was the wrong trailer/movie. Look at those graphics on the stages, they’re incredible awsome! And Sonic didn’t slow down when you killed anymies, only a bidder one(probably stronger that the others). I’m so happy!XD
sonicsmashkirby:Yeah, he had fire in secret rings and now wind. What’s next, maybe water and the title is something like: Sonic and Atlantis or something.
Well look at that, Merlina really is just the Shahra of this game, of course we all saw that coming.
Geez, all that slice through the enemies reminds me of all the alien killing in Shadow except this is more faster and has a little more “blood”.
The CG intro looks nice as always and it is all I like in this trailer.
I wonder if that purple stuff that comes out of enemies counts as animated blood?
The model of Sonic is a little like Unleashed in the cutscenes, but otherwise he resembles the Sonic of Secret Rings. And, unfortunately, to me it looks like he’s running forward automaticlly.
Still, it looks quite impressive.
I’m surprised! This game can actually work!
This was Amazing! T´hey made the sword perfect! Sonic dance aronud with it like it was nothing and thats what I like! That he is fast with the sword too and not just with the legs! But he’s not as fast as Meta Knight!
This game looks WAY better than Unleashed Wii. Unleashed 360 is still the best Sonic game other than Sonic 3 & Knuckles though.

A much more interesting article.
Sigh, just wonderful, there is already a new trailer at Gonintendo and it has Sonic in a yellow Knight armour.
Seriously, couldn’t they have just gone with the sword only?
Merlina kicks ASS!!! Though sort of looks like Sharara…
SO EPIC… can’t brethe
Okay, according to an ONM handson preview…this game isn’t “run forward automatically”. You can slow down and go backward.
Crazee:And that’s good. And was one of the bad things they hade in secret rings, you couldn’t turn around.Grrr
When I’d just saw the black knight and Merlina running it reminded me a little bit of final fantasy.XD
O_O cool
Yeah. Okay. That was pretty epic. It looks as if Merlina won’t be completely useless, though. *Still should’ve been Rouge* But, she looks too much like Sharha…
heh. That grassy area had what looks like platforming areas…I assume Black Knight trailers are pomoting combat like Unleashed trailers promoted speed and fast automatic segments. I’m sure platforming exists…Secret Rings had decent platforming(except for the terrible controls).
I remember when I thought this game was fake, and I said I’d eat my hat if it was real. My hat didn’t go good with salt, but I tried barbacue sauce and it worked.
Merlina bears an unsurprising resemblance to Shahra from SATSR
I don’t like Merlina!
Merlina better not bitch like Shahra did!
What’s so bad about Merlina?
And how does Melina even resemble Shahra?
Well, SFtW, they both have pointy ears. It’s not too similar, but you can tell a slight influence.
I actually like Merlina. As long as she doesn’t fall in love with the fucking Black Knight, I’m fine. Oh, and she can’t bitch about Sonic’s attitude.
Good point Soap Scum (aka GENERALZERO, BlackHawkOmega), but still it’s just the pointed ears. If you find something else then I’ll give it my two-cents.
And if she does fallin love with the Black Knight, I personally will find the guy who came up withat idea and strangle him.
Man my spacebar sucks.
SFtW, also, you should look at her face and hair style. It resembles Shahra’s, but they clearly have differences.
I don’t like Merlina because I wan’t more animals like Knux, Shadow and Amy! I would be more happy if Silver was Merlin!
I don’t like when a human is one of the main characters! Ok, I liked proffesor Pickle in SU, but he was so fun! Merlina is not fun! She is annoying!
But, I think I can get used to it….
Werehog, seriously think about this. With making animal characters you have to make then antropic looking. And hardly any of the Sonic characters look like their animal forms. So it would be easier to make humans rather than making humanoid animals. Which is code for (SEGA IS LAZY).
And Ethan, LOOK AT HER FACE AND HAIR.
There is nothing similar.
Werehog: Wait how do you know she is annoying you only saw a CGI clip. You havent seen her do anything yet so…
She looks annoying…
I would like to have Silver as Merlin, but now it’s too late.
How can someone look annoying?
And just for a second, picture Silver in that robe with that staff. It’s just not his style.
Oh and he never met silver so…
You’re a sexist Werehog.
Keydown, he did meet Silver in Sonic Rivals.
Well, Merlin was a dude in the original story, but maybe a female partner would be better…
Sonic is a chick magnet he is always with girls in the storybook, comics, and anime
