New info and screens on the upcoming Sonic RPG here.

I don't know if I should laugh or cry.
I can already tell im going to hate it. Oh well another day another dollar or Amero if you will.
Only, it's being made by BioWare and they usually know what the hell they're doing.
It certainly doesn't look something good.
The characters look ugly, but the game seems interesting anyway.
I have a sneaking suspicion BioWare had an RPG engine lying around and just found some characters to plug into it.
It looks interesting, though. I won't write it off entirely until it's out and I've gotten a better look at it.
I usually don't really "do" RPG's unless it's real-time battles, but i'd still probably grab this if it's cheap enough one day. Not pre-ordering it or anything though.
I love how he says it like it's surprising. The chaos emeralds do that pretty regularly.Quote:
Mark Darrah Eggman was defeated some time ago and Sonic has gone out to explore the rest of his world. He has been gone for a while and then gets a call from Tails - Knuckles has been kidnapped! Not only that, the chaos emeralds are disappearing!
I was reserving judgment on this one. Bioware generally knows what it's about. Reading that gem, though... I dunno. But so help me, if they create a new character or spawn a new continuity...
Call me cynical, but putting Sonic in an RPG stinks of some kind of "action games aren't working, lets try this!"
I'm not going to like this game simply because it is an RPG.
It is set in the Sonic Adventure universe, that means all those goddamn useless friends/enemies are coming along too.
Pass and double pass.
The game screens look gorgeous and the idea of Sonic in an RPG is an interesting idea, but calling it "Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood" just sounds laughable! Especially "The Dark Brotherhood" part.:rofl:
I honestly thought the name was a joke. Hopefully the game won't take itself too seriously. I'd love to see it go the Paper Mario route and attempt to parody itself.Quote:

This does not say much about the pace of the game. They've already stated they will not go the route of cookie cutter Final Fantasy battles which actively disengages the player.Quote:

I think Sonic takes itself too seriously for that. I'd love to see it too, but I doubt it.Quote:
