First of all, I'm not posting this to cause any arguments and I certainly don't work for Sega...

A friend sent me this image over irc chat which he found on a German Sonic forum:



Apparently 'Sonic Gauntlet: Enter Lord Robotnik' was registered on the OFLC and was taken down soon after the above image was posted in the forum.

If this is legit, what kind of game do you think it will be? 'Gauntlet' may suggest a series of challenges for Sonic to complete set by Eggman... Maybe there will be an alternate or altered universe where Eggman has become King? Who knows... Discuss.

EDIT: My friend posted me the url: http://www.classific...ount=25&query=([title]%3Dsonic%29

Definitely not listed there but I'll keep checking in case. (I miss the days when we could check Sega's FTP for any leaks   ).

The only thing I can think of is perhaps a Party game or a fighter (a la Sonic the Fighters). Otherwise, I can't even begin to guess what it could refer to. Right now, I'm not sold yet... "Lord Robotnik" alone seems a bit suspicious.

I hope it's not, the title sounds pretty cool to me.

They don't call him Robotnik anymore.

That alone is enough for me to dismiss this.

Hmm... interesting. Possibly, and probably, bullcrap, but it's plausible. I mean, it's German, and the subtitle "Enter Lord Robotnik" could be standard, considering that non-English European copies of Unleashed were called "Sonic Unleashed: Curse of the Werehog".

Spoiler

Plus, given that the ending of Colors alludes to a "revenge plot" that Eggman's cooked up... who knows?

Also, the title Sonic Gauntlet sounds fitting in the context of the supposed press leak stating that in the 20th game, Sonic will have to revisit old worlds with a new twist. Like... a challenge, per say?

Who knows, shit might just get real But I doubt it. It's fun to imagine though...

That's a good point and you're probably right. Then again, Lord Eggman would sound kinda silly for an anniversary game that should be epic. One can dream though.

How convenient.
Seriously, I find this pretty hard to believe. (That, and the "Robotnik" name).

[ArtFenix]

If something like Black Knight was called like that, it would be way more plausible. But for a main 3D series Sonic game no. It just doesn't work for me.

That's the title I'd shoop into this picture if I cared enough to bother.

[Myst]

The name Robotnik seems a bit dubious.

But then again, SEGA's always coming out with new Sonic games. (We got 3 new Sonic games in the past couple of months: Sonic 4, Free Riders & Colors)

So who knows?

Sorry, I had to do it xD



EDIT: Conspiracy Theory... They've been hinting at this game all along!

Because we have a topic dedicated to a supposedly upcoming game in 2011, let's keep all game rumor discussion in there. Locked.

By the way, Sonic Gauntlet? Ugh.
