The only thing worse than rabid Sonic fans are rabid Sonic haters.

Sabre_Justice: Okay, no more long name.

A great business decision all round, really. I can't really think of a reason why not. Though you've probably thought of something I haven't.

Sabre_Justice: Okay, no more long name.

They'd be like Chinese coins too, you could loop them through a string to prevent losing them.

They'd be a pretty good currency, actually. Just not depending on your definition of them, if it comes from the comics or whatnot.

Sabre_Justice: Okay, no more long name.

@Choccy: I would not rather have anyone else than that hammer-wielding fanatic at my back.

Long story short: This will be awesome, fuck you all and your uncles, Sonic can and will be good again.

Sabre_Justice: Okay, no more long name.

That being said, if there's enough good say about this game, I'll buy a DS for it (which I've been meaning to do, especially for the new AW).

@Onizuka-GTO: Dude, have you EVER played a Bioware game? Seriously. The Sonic game franchise isn't CURSED or anything. Bioware can turn into gold any pile of shit they touch.

At least Knuckles is in. Ok I admit, it sounds fun.

ARRGGHHHHH!!!

Its sonic. sonic in this new era, has been utter crap (except sonic dash on DS. that was fun. :D )

But anyway,
Expect the worse....and you'll come out surprised!

After all with all those other crap sonic games, the only way is up...eh?

But once you start hyping....why....yooou....

*shudder with rage*

STOP IT.

"Sonic is still great.

Sega's games are the ones that suck."

No, Sonic has been sucking for the past seven years and has turned into the epitome of a 90s has-been. Maybe this game will give Sonic some of the respect he once had.

If does turn out great, let's hope it doesn't end up like another Megaman Legends(underrated).

Destrudo

What.

TRT-X

Sega's games are the ones that suck.

Smash Bros is the only proof anyone should need. Sonic in Smash bros is basically what a sonic game should be, except without ultra long levels to run through.

BioWare will definitely be able to make a great RPG, although it might displease the Japanese fans(screw them and their RPGs)

It is sad to see Sonic sleeping around so much these days. Sega just doesn't seem to care, or they've realized they have no clue how to make a good Sonic game.

That wasn't Sega's original backstory, just something the UK comic came up with, as far as I know.

I'm excited for this game. Looks fun

"Eggman not the main villain. But Bioware wants to make him a creditable bad guy again. Something about a "twist" between Eggman and Sonic that goes back to the earlier games."

I wonder if this would have anything to do with Sega's original backstory - namely, that a specific event simultaneously caused the previously kind and gentle Doc to go insane and Sonic to colour-shift from brown to blue.

Sonic is GOOOOO!!!!

EightBit

But this looks awesome. It's by Bioware for a star, and "Battles are turn-based and attacks are said to follow an Elite Beat Agents model." Hell yes.

Dragonzigg

Sonic Advance 3 though, I hated.

headcase88

And with that Super Smash Bros Brawl becomes my second most anticipated game this year. (ok, maybe not)

I'm just glad Sega decided to license the franchise to a company that can make good games (or so I've been told). Maybe we'll see a TJ&E developed by Treasure :D

headcase88

In fact, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle was pretty awesome.

thereturnoftheufo

Its called a QTE, people. Nothing new.

That said, here is hoping Bioware are the ones to bring credibility back to the Sonic franchise, 'cause Sonic Team ain't doing it any time soon.

If Future USA manages to keep things exclusive like this, maybe the official Nintendo magazine can become special again.

I basically unconditionally love Bioware's stuff, so I'll probably end up buying this even though I don't give a rat's ass about Sonic. Especially if they're making it like Elite Beat Agents, which is still one of my favorite games for the DS. Which is saying something because the DS has so many great games.

I think this is the first time in years I've actually been excited for a Sonic game.

I just hope Shadow and Blaze are NOT in this game. Shadow is overused and while Blaze is indeed a great Sonic character, I don't want her character to suffer the same, whored-out fate Shadow has.

JAcK0R

I'm actually pretty excited.

And I haven't been excited for a Sonic game since Sonic Adventure 2.

Curse you, Bioware. I think I care about a Sonic game again.

And this game's story has a twist that ties to the older games? I am EXTREMELY interested in this. Story continuity isn't big in Sonic games, but I'm familliar with the minute details of every Sonic game, and would love if story elements from the old games would be brought up.

Shy_Link

Although I would join you in your complaints if/when a few gameplay videos come out and it doesn't feel like Sonic...

as long as Sega is nowhere near this project....

I believe the issue is that I'm too much of a believer.

Ripped straight from an interview when the game was announced:
"
RM: We plan on taking those core Sonic elements that fans love about games and incorporating them into a brand new adventure that will feature the best of both worlds: all the fast-paced action of Sonic, plus a deep and engaging storyline that will keep players on the edge of their seats. By staying true to those Sonic elements that fans are already familiar with, and injecting our own unique BioWare flavor, we plan to make that transition as smooth and exciting as possible."

What happened to that? I honestly believed that's what they were gonna do, and that they could pull it off.
Now I find out they gave up on that.

I'm dissapointed.

This sounds a little bit interesting tho. I just hope they don't keep that fucking music and that fucking Sonic voice and that fucking "that's rad!" attitude.

Ruglia

That aside, the comparisons to the Paper Mario RPGs alone will make this game go over poorly.

The watercolor style sounds interesting... I'm curious to see how that's gonna turn out, if only because I've never really associated Sonic with anything but super-saturated pixely goodness.

There's a big difference. I wanted a classic Sonic game with an overworld map, skill upgrades, hit points, a deeper plot, etc...

Not a generic RPG with no sense of speed whatsoever.

I never imagine Sonic would be an RPG someday but this sounds pretty good and the hand drawn graphics should provide a nice touch. Of course, RPGs on the DS always equal to gold in my book.

Now for the final delivery...can BioWare make it great?
