Good choice, Hyper. It's definitely my favorite Disney movie.

Back on topic, do we know if Robotnik is involved with the story in anyway? Because I don't recall seeing him in any screenshots thus far.

I'm pretty sure no mention of Eggman thus far, which makes sense.. why would changing the plot/eliminating pages from a book grant him world domination?
That's why I think there's an all new, probably one-shot villain.
I've thought about an evil djinn, or maybe the Shah Sheherazade (sp?) was holding back by telling her stories..

Ok, i ws listening to 'Ridin'' and thought of Riders, thean remembered Jet and Crew, THEAN the Babylon Genie. The Babylon Genie MUST have SOMETHING with this because the book is called Arbain Nights.

The bad guy (To me), is the Babylon Genie.

I Owenz te 'Net.

Babylon has nothing to do with the Arabian Nights stories, they're based on Persian and Indian myths. By your logic, it's much more likely that Iblis would be the main bad guy, and we can be pretty certain that's not going to happen.

New preview just came up and it makes this game sound very promising. Read it, then watch the video, no actual gameplay in the video though, just the guys talking about the game.

This quote really stands out...

"It made me regret that only the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 Sonic games were available on the showfloor, because this game is without a doubt much better"

Im excited, but just in case, I won't get too excited. We all hate when our hopes and dreams get smashed to pieces, so im just going keep my hopes at a minimum and just see what comes to be.

Yes, the game is on rails, but I feel like this is the way Sonic should be. The original 2D games were never truly about exploration: it was about going fast, and having the reflexes to overcome your obstacles

Guess he forgot you have to explore the levels in search of giant rings to get the Chaos Emeralds and get the true ending.

Not in Sonic and Sonic 2 (which is my favorite video game, period.)

I was playing through Sonic 3 last week and stumbled upon a big ring that I had not known the location of until then, and I've had that game since it released on Genesis. Crazy!

The very beginning of Marbel Garden Zone Act 1. If you go immediately to the right rather than following the hills downward. I don't know why I didn't find it sooner. I think I was always trying to see how fast I could go through the game.

Back on topic, I'm very anxious about whatever multiplayer games they have in store for this game, aside from the obvious time trials and head-to-head races. I can see "score attack" being a possibility as well. Any other ideas?

Who Can Get The Most Rings or Who Can Get (Insert Number Here) Rings First spring to mind.

Well, the way I get it is there will be mini-games so I take that to mean that the multiplayer won't be what is the norm of 3D Sonic games.

Which means there could even be a FUN Sonic-oriented fishing game.

Read the comments. I think you'll find it wasn't very long at all.

I liked 'em too. The story mode was easy enough, so it didn't get in the way with the ending, and it was fun replaying too, with hidden areas to explore. :D

I did read the comments, one of which I quoted in the quote I used, that's why I said what I said.

Mother Fudging Dinosaurs?!?!

Looks purdy doesn't it? Despite Sonic's spikes looking like they want to rip off his head at any moment.

On multiplayer, I remember an interview saying there was going to be several Heroes to play as.

It's just his quills reacting to the speed he's moving in.

Pretty pretty screens. Except the ones where the quills are broken.
Well, no, those are pretty, too. But this doesn't make the quills look any less weird. It'll probably look better in-game. Or so I hope.

*the SatSotR thread rises from the oblivion*

Box art for Sonic and Secret of the Rings

Look pretty sweet.

So its definitely Sonic and the Secret Rings?

Right, Powers that be change the name again...

Its a nice box with the exception of Sonic's grin. Doesn't look good. He looks kinda simple.

If the flame was igniting from maybe the ring instead of Sonic's chest, it would look less... weird? IMO

Prepare yourselves for all kinds of "flamer" jokes about this one.

I'm still looking forward to it more than I was 360. Especially now that I've spent some quality time with my Wii.:jester

Targets on springs? That sounds a bit Dragon's Lair, and that's not a good thing (because the current Sonic Team seem to have this idea that a Sonic game should be an interactive movie).

After playing this at E3, I have more faith in this Sonic game than any Sonic game in the last 5 years.

I second that, wheras I have NOT played it at E3, the videos and screens look Very promising.
