The wonders of viral advertisement 
*runs a Sonic forum on Gaia*
What makes me laugh is the accompanying text for the item - "I'm on a neverending quest to save my girlfriend!". Someone in Gaia's marketing department has obviously never played a Sonic game in their life or tried to have any kind of rudimentary grasp on the franchise, and seems to expect the same of the users.
poor you 
, perhaps this is the premise/storline for the Sonic and the quest for the holy grail black knight game? if not then it makes more sense than the recent nonsense sega has been milking out...
also merge threads
Weird. First Neopets and now Gaia Online. Strange places for Sonic to pop in. Then again Sega is promoting Yakuza 3 with tanning salons 
.
*facepalm*
Nice to see you actually made use of your account for once, Ai. 
In any case, been there, done that, and... well this could've also gone in the South Island topic. Not that it really matters.
I wouldn't expect to see much of Aileo around. She's my sister and really only wanders here once in a blue moon. That's all.
Edit: Whoops. Looks like moving then merging topics was rather pointless, considering it's already's been mentioned. Oh, dear, I think I caused a mess. o.o
Ya know I've never heard of this Gaia place before, and I think I vaguely remember your sister's screenname, Lady Kazekage, but I'm not sure if I have or am just thinking I have. Anyway, does Gaia have a new video of SatBK; if so, does anybody have a link for the video?
@ Kaze,
Yes, you are right, I am not here at all. GaiaOnline is my main hangout I go to so...*shrugs*
I did some looking, and it seems to be the a trailer that has already been out. Also, is anyone else secretly reminded of the Legend of Zelda at all looking at this game?
I'm pretty sure it's out there somewhere, but as for trying to watch the video at the site itself, you've got to be a registered member, I think. Which kind of stinks.

Are you telling us that you aren't a member of Gaia online despite the irresistible offer of the Sonic ava buddy?! O: Clearly we now know who's the more devoted and superior sister on these here Sonic forums!

Oh, she's a registered member. And she is far more dedicated than I'll ever be(don't say anything mean, Kaze.) She's probably already got ten of the Sonic buddies right now. If she could equip them all, I bet she would.

It's an okay thing, but I'm still probably not going to play that game. PROBABLY.
I could share a mule account with all of the MoFo so you could all experience the awesomeness of the Sonic doll! 
Until the account-sharing thing gets discovered and I get permabanned.

"I'm on a never-ending quest to save my girlfriend!" is the catchphrase of the gay elf Link parody character Xander from the animated debauchery Drawn Together.
Indeed, someone has a sense of humour.
Next Blaze will play the lead role in the Broadway production of Peter and Wendy. 
Ha! Got a score 348. I believe Sega already said this game was for younger and casual gamers.
Anyway there new trailer with the flash game. It looks similar to one that shows Sonic in golden armor only with new footage.
I'm know I'm a few days late in repling to this, someone needs to remind SEGA that the series originally alreadly appealed to casual and younger gamers in the first place. I mean the games weren't that difficult, and you only used one button other than the d-pad.
I still find this whole distinction of "casual" gamers quite offensive as a whole. Always have done.
I've seen a couple of episodes of Drawn Together - never really got into it, though, which would explain why that'd slipped my mind.
I find it hilarious that some people consider series such as GTA, Madden, and Final Fantasy that appealed to the masses(especially the first two) that were labeled as "mainstream trash" last gen is now considered "hardcore" this gen. Even better is that had Guitar Hero failed to become a breakout in the west like Guitar Freaks before it, it would have been considered to be a "hardcore" game.
Lesson is: these labels are worthless.
Agreed. I'm a gamer, and I'm not interested in making it any more complicated than that.
I find it funnier that before this generation no 'hardcore' gamer ever really considered themselves 'hardcore.' Now that casuals are having games for them, these so called 'hardcore gamers' are now proclaiming their holier than thou than the casuals. lol
Long time no see~
Today, they have officially announced about SBK Sound trax/Vocal trax.

Knuckles/Gawain trailer. LOL at the final scene when Sonic takes Gawain sword.
We're going to see every cutscene in this game before it even comes out I swear.
And speaking of more cutscenes here a japanese trailer featuring new footage of the solo and multiplayer modes.

Howard Drossin? He's back on Sonic?
*checks Wikipedia*
Wow. He's credited for Sonic & the Black Night, Afro Samurai and the upcoming Splatterhouse game as (a) composer. Here's me hoping for a Lava Reef remix in Black Night.
This game looks ten times better than Unleashed. Too bad it is only a spin off.

I tend to have more fun with spin-offs that mainstream things anyway, so I'm not complaining.
It looks like a toned down version of Secret Rings to be honest, but, it doesn't actually look that bad.

I heard the story was 10 times more intense.
Soo, what do you guys think this game is going to score? Reviews should be pouring in soon, unless I already missed one.

Wait, Tommy Tallarico? Where have I heard that name before...
... Riiiiiiiiiight (Reviews on the Run)! I knew he was a composer, but I didn't knew he composed songs for a Sonic game... (or a game without boobs for that matter) *RotR Joke reference !*
i can't wait for that Dragon Egg mission!
Sonic and the Black Knight launch trailer. Look like Lancelot/Shadow has his speed boost from the Shadow game.
Edit- Btw Silver and Jet have been added to the characters section. Silver is Galahad and Jet is Lamorak
Wow. Jet?
Wow....
Looking at how lame their profiles are. They shouldn't even be on the site. They should have just remained a rumor to let the player discover them as a surprise. Most likely though they are just multiplayer characters.

I was expecting Jet to be one the knight so I am not that surprised. I guess this also confirm Wave and Storm as knights.
Reading through Galahad and Lamorak Wikipedia pages, I find it amusing they choose Silver as Galahad . As for Jet as Lamorak I think I would have prefer Storm better seeing that Lamorak and Gawain don't get along that well.
Wave can't be a knight. in Blaze's profile it says she is the only female of the round table.
If that the case then the full list of knights would look like this:
1. Arthur
2. Shadow
3. Silver
4. Knuckles
5. Blaze
6. Jet
7. Storm
8. Vector
9. Espio
10. Charmy
11. Big
12. ????
We still missing one. I doubt Omega will be one of the knight seeing he is robot and there are no more active males in the cast. Unless the final knight is Eggman or they are bringing back Mighty from limbo .

IT BEGINS!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgRgUpYE9nY brief footage of the other playable characters.
So, I hear today/tomorrow is the release date. I'll wait to see what the consensus from you guys and various other forums is before I give it a go. I don't really care for professional reviews all that much anymore.
Bad news; IGN gave SatBK a 3.9.
He thinks the daytime levels in Unleashed were the 2D games.
Seriously, did IGN EVER played a 20th century 2D Sonic game?
Then there's the fact that he thinks the Arabian Knights and Arthurian legends are for kids. But that's just a personal rant of mine. =/
Jet...? *eye twitch*
Seriously Sega, I am being super cereal, no Epsio, Rouge or Metal Sonic and there will be fires. Super cereal.
That review is brutal. So apparently it needs more speed and less waggle?
Bad news; IGN gave SatBK a 3.9.
Well here short but positive review.
The best bit about the game is the use of a nunchuk. Throw your arms out effortlessly, trying to defeat your enemy. It's a great way to delve into the game.
Mmm I wonder if the IGN guy was using the control the right way?
Famitsu review-[Wii] Sonic and the Black Knight :7,6,7,6 （26/40）
That 'positive' review is awful. It's even less informative than IGN's damming one and it reads like a small blurb review in mags that take up half of a page because the title would be usually be ignored.
Sometimes the camera angle changes to scroll sliding, "good old 2D." It's almost like a thing of the past, as the developers try to rekindle that nostalgic image we first saw, when we first played Sonic. But it doesn't last that long, thankfully, (because, lets face it, this is next generation gaming after all) as the camera switches to 3D again.
Awful.
