Wow that was taken down fast.

easy come, easy go

Wow, that was some amazing footage of a new Sonic RPG adventure on the Nintendo DS rated E for Everyone!

BALEETED!

Hehe... Nah, I'm bummed, I wanted to see this.

And for the record, I like development diaries.

That was fast. I wanted to take a gander :/

Oh, I'm crushed from the lies you deceived me with, Luke Plunkett.

yeha that was awesome with that super crisp 3D engine and those CG parts, not to mention when darth vader jumped in and started throwing chili hot dogs at sonic!

It was such an awesome video that it imploded under it's own weight.

Oh noez! The clip is a lie! I don't care anyway, the game will still suck.

This post is cruel. I won't be able to sleep now, thanks.

Malheureusement, c'est disparu.

Pretend I said something naughty.

Why Luke, Why?

Plus the Burnout Dev Diaries are actually pretty awesome.

@Luke:

First Fahey, now you? Liar!!!! Give me my Sonic back! You ALWAYS DO THIS! *cries*

The nerve of these developers doing a video in anything but english!

@Spampy: I like most dev diaries. The only kinds I don't enjoy are the one's that seem overly scripted. Case in point: Silicon Knight's first VD was pretty painful (it was full of puss and inflamed.. j/k ^_^; ) to watch and seemed like a scripted mess but the subsequent ones go t better. It's fun to get that perspective.

wow, that was fast! did you find porn in it or something?

well guess its 1 dark pic of SC now >.<

trying to hide the article? You're not Solid Snake you know! I can stil find you!

I saw the video... was it taken down for you guys or something?

This game looks awesome, but the music that I heard sounds.... sonic-y. Could they not get Hideki Naganuma to do the track for this one, like Sonic Rush? Or at least copy his style like in Sonic Rush Adventure? The EBA gameplay would be awesome with good music.

Some of us understood that diary, actually! P.S. That comment above lacks grammar.

Video starts with the guy talking about how long it takes to make a video game and how many people. he says 1 year and about 30 developers. Then they have a fake meeting about what kind of character sonic is. Then he says there are 4 steps to making a game and he explains them. 1) planning, 2)pre-production, 3)production, 4)finalizing.

After gameplay footage they talk about what gropus of people are used to make a game, programmers, artists blah blah blah.

Next he's just walking us through the steps to create a character in game. Goes on to say that games a mathematical systems and that programmers are essential.

Next he says the most important thing to do is to make the game players happy, or to entertain them.

It ends with him talking about how Bioware is so awesome and why it's so awesome and why he personally likes video games.

Sorry, but they're still talking about really boring things.

I watched the video at about 8:40 pm California-time. Hopefully those of you who couldn't see it will try again.

That was a very, very cute man with an incredibly delicious accent telling me about the game (even though I couldn't understand it). :D

I haven't been paying attention to this game until now, but it looks like you may get to use the stylus to choose your options (attack, etc.). That sounds kind of cool, if that's the case. I'll have to look into this game a little more.

Screw you, I like dev diaries.

@Moonshadow101:

exactly like what I was going to say, cept it starred a different 4 letter word.

its refreshing to see 2D animation again.

Stop talking your funny talk and show me some hot gameplay.

Oh, no, were we supposed to be taking notes? I was thinking about all the hot naked gals I checked out this morning on my work computer. Frederick, you owe me one, what all did he write on the whiteboard?

"Sonic." Thanks, Fred, we're even. Man that was an intense design meeting.

ok, why is Mario Kart music playing when the game footage is shown?

I always find it weird when I see videos about games in french on the web. This one was useless since it was more to inform regular news viewers about the process of game making. At least here they see game as a good industry and they actually try to bring devs in Canada instead of playing the "games are evil" card. I'm surprised my parents didn't see this on TV and then tell me about it like if I didn't know about bioware or sonic RPG.

Someone needs to make a new video out of this one. Maybe just the gameplay footage. It'll be about 10 seconds long.

Eh, forget this. I just hope the finished product is good enough to bring some redemption to the Sonic series.

If the plot's half as good as Sonic Battle I'll be happy.

For anyone wondering, yes, the videos went down last night. Tonight, they're back up, and so's this post.

SONIC DOES NOT CHOP WOOD WITH AN AXE! he fricken spin dashes a standing tree and lets other people pick up the resulting logs

Wow was this uploaded from a Sega CD rom? Sheesh, I know you tube sucks for PQ but ..man!

All I can say is that the best part from that clip(game) was the intro logo with the cool Sonic animation. Reminded me of Sonic Cd a lot. They should just port that to the DS. Or just the whole Sonic series from 1 to CD and knuckles. I'm sure it could all fit.

or I'll just buy myself megamix for GCN.

do they seriously code in green-text-on-black-background?

Wow, he's hard to understand. Speak real french, you Canadian separatists!

@L_K_M: Yeah, I agree. But hey, I've gotten used to it, you know, being Canadian and all. But man, some of the teenagers are just creepy. It just sounds like they're mumbling the entire time.

I actually like developer Diaries. Or at least, when I can actually understand them.

I love developer diaries. Even more so because I'm familiar with a lot of this due to college.

The game is looking pretty awesome. Am I the only one who loved the little animation at the end, with the BioWare logo?

omg I want that Sonic hat! Man.. Lucky bastards have some Wacom Cintiqs... I want one, but they are so expensive..

dev diaries rule. We are all so easy to judge a game and the devs. But, truth be told. These people work their asses off to make games for us to play.

whaaa??

For the record, I really do enjoy developer diaries. In fact, bethblog.com is a website I visit quite often.

Speak for yourself brah.

Sonic.. Shitty friends.. god help us.

I love how they got everyone in the office who speaks French in there, even if they aren't working on sonic.

=P

@BadSector

Haha, I totally agree, some of the guys in the meetings arent event designers but programmers... :) quite funny

but clearly, we aren't the audience for this video, it was meant to be aired on the national channel in a kids show.

But wait... aren't we all (grown up) kids... ?

@hexode:

hehe, ya we're all still kids I guess.... Now excuse me while I fire up some GTA =P

Well that was a mindless, grainy and overly talkative waste of my time.

You just need to go thorugh the official route at the Bioware forums

[forums.bioware.com]

During my years in coillege, I had to take French. Never did I know I would be glad of of having learned at least a bit of French.

I mean I could actually understand most if it. Of course, the pictures and videos helped too. And, there won't be a test on this...

Anyway, the game certainly does look nice...

is the game actually going to be localized for quebec on release?

Cool, but just one question. What's with the Mario Kart 64 music? Hopefully, this will turn out to be interesting.

I believe he starts by saying:
"Well, when I interviewed here I said 'I want to make a game where the player forms an incredibly meaningful and complex relationship with Tails'. By the time I final got to work on that project though, everyone else was like 'Fuck Tails. Fuck 'em hard.'; and I said 'That sounds like fun too'"

After that I couldn't watch anymore.

The Mario Kart 64 music (4:14 for example) is distracting... the video makers clearly thought it belonged with the BioWare game footage! I think it was probably left playing on an office Wii while the game had the audio turned down, confusing the production people.

Wasn't really a dev diary, more a very vague explanation of how any game is made and how awesome bioware are...
