Well, this makes all the recent characters Sega's been constantly adding to the series more useful...

...

Though I have to say, this could be quite interesting (as long as they keep crap like time travel out of it).

Woo! SONIC RPG!!!

and yea, time travel is bad

:3

I've always wanted this.

I need to go jump for joy. :D

Okay...That is IT.....

*goes out to buy a DS*

Yay! Um, what?

"RPG"? Isn't that, like Link, and any other 3rd-person game like Sonic and Metroid and etc.? Or are Bioware the Spore people? Meeso confused...

Great idea!! Sally! Julie-Su! Antoine! Rotor!

but i like time travelz Y_Y

RPG games are generally like Final Fantasy, those PS2 FMA games, Disgaea, Super Mario RPG (heh), Pokemon...

...Ah, Pokemon! ^^; That's seriously the only one on that list I've played.

So, this Sonic game will be like Pokemon. Okay! ^^;

I world love to see a Sonic RPG game come out on (PS2) & (Wii) Platform. It will be like Mario RPG Style the one on SNES instead of useing Mario Characters it will be sonic Characters.

Know that will be alsome.

Quoted from Spoony's topic.

Heh... and this topic was posted the very day I left, too... wow. XD

Ya... sorry about posting a topic about this like that, I honestly had no idea one already existed, since I was away for 2 weeks... but hey, you fixed things, at least. ^_^;

Anywho, now we HAVE to see all the retro characters come back... I hope...

Btw, speaking of time-traveling...

Woo! Prohaps this will be the return of the classics (fang, mighty, etc...)
I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that sega said they were re-vamping sonic? I've gotta get a DS now.

Yeah, I heard about the Sonic RPG via IGN. I'm not a fan of RPG games, but this one looks interesting.

Well... that certainly sucks. Finally, a good use for so many characters and the possibility of many older characters returning... yet it all seems to be unlikely to happen, now. :/

EA. Aquire Everything.

...

But seriously, this isn't good news, even outside of this potential Sonic RPG. EA buying things usually doesn't mean good news for the stuff they buy.

=_=

EA... if you destroy the Sonic RPG... a idea I have been dreaming of for ages... I will do everything in my power to destroy you.

... Not that, you know, I have power... but still! I wanna see Sonic RPG! ;_;

EA sucks.

E.A. wouldn't do that would they? No! i was so excited for this RPG! I love RPGs... and I love Sonic this was a freaking DREAM!!

First off, whats with the EA hating all of the internuts? They make great games! Well, their sports ones are good, at least...

And I haven't quite sounded off about the RPG since it was announced, but I think its a bad idea. Its bad enough that the Sonic Fan Community is flooded with horrid fancharacters already, but with the release of this game, it'd be like, "Yeah! Go ahead! Make our fanbase look even MORE idiotic!"

Its just my own opinion, but aside from a very, very small handful, fancharacters are the worst things about the Sonic Fan Community. I mean, you have the very small handful of them that are actually original, but the rest are just a bunch of lame Shadow clones. Its like, "Oh wow. You changed his stripe colors and gave him scars on his wrists. Whoop-De-Do.".

Gah... I'm ranting again... </avengerant>

But yeah, this game is a bad idea, and I honestly am against its release.

Very interesting perspective, there, Avenger. (and in case that sounds sarcastic, it isn't :p ; I just find it an interesting opposite take from this)

Though also, I don't understand the connection between a Sonic RPG and fan-characters. :heh: (Unless you're thinking about the types of RPGs that involve basically making your own character to play through the game, instead of the type of RPG where you play as pre-made characters)

...

And now I have the sudden desire to play some Super Mario RPG, now... XD

Yeah, thats what I'm talking about. I figured thats what this would be, unless I've misread the articles and it is, in fact, a true Sonic RPG. In that case, it might be interesting.

Sonic RPGs starring Sonic himself? I can deal with em.
Sonic RPGs that let you create your own characters? No thanks. I see enough legacy destroying on DeviantART.

o_O I have no idea where you would get the idea that this RPG would let you create your own characters. In fact, most RPGs that are based on a pre-existing franchise rarely ever (IF they ever) do that. Like Super Mario RPG or The Legacy of Goku.

Anywho, as for the topic of fancharacters... I've decided to make a separate thread for that here.

Well, if Bioware is, in fact, still going to be making the Sonic RPG, then I say they may not have been able to pick a better studio for the job. For any of you who may not know, Bioware has been behind such excellent role-playing games as "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" and its sequel, and the upcoming (I think) title "Mass Effect".

Hmmm... A sonic RPG, I doubt they'll give you the ability to make your own character (of course, I could be wrong). So, what sort of storylines are you guys looking forwards to?

Well, despite the acquisition of Bioware by EA, Bioware still intends to work with Sega on making this Sonic RPG. So, things look good. :)

How did that happen? I mean, considering EA and Sega hate eachother, due to the EA Sports "exclusivity" deals.

One word: Contract.

When one company has a contract with another company, and one of those companies suddenly is acquired by a third company, the third company also acquires any and all currently valid contracts.

Thus, if EA called off the Sonic RPG game, it would mean they'd break the contract. If you suddenly have a contract with someone you hate, the last thing you want to do is break it -- 'cause then they can sue.

...

I'm fighting the urge to sing that Weird Al song that just came to mind.

...

But, yeah, basically they'll continue the game or risk breaking the contract, which gives Sega legal action they could take against them.

Sama the lawyer. I'm suddenly reminded of the very first Birthday Gnome story... XD

Hmm... Hadn't thought about that.

You play too much PW, you know?

................Ah, who am I kidding? We all know there's no such thing as "too much" of that.

XD

Gnome... Yes, I need to finish that.

It'll only be too much Phoenix Wright when get to college, disagree with the professor, and should "Objection!"

Luckily Sonic RPG will still come forward! ^^ Although the only downside is that if the game isn't highly successful, the odds of a sequel will be low... but then they could just make one with someone other than EA, so I dunno.

Sonic RPG for DS If im correct when is this game coming out?

I'm not even sure when production of the game starts, so I think it's still way too early to know when it's coming out.

I see thanks Admin

Just read this at Sonic News while reading up on the True Blue album.

Reading this reminded me of a previous topic I made, reporting that 1Up.com had heard that Sega was back to work on a "real" Sonic game. The way I see it, this could either be (A) the new game rumored by 1Up, or (2) a brand new "Mega Collection" dealie, featuring every Sonic game up to Heroes.

Anyways, thats just what I think. What about you guys?

Well, when I first read the name it reminded me of the name 'Sonic Adventures'. I'm hoping this is that next big game. Sonic Chronicles does have a good ring to it...

I heard a rumour that it was the name of the new Sonic RPG for the Nintendo DS, but it could also be a totally different game

Quoted from OCR:

Now THAT's some good info. I wonder if they're placing it on Earth, like the other "main" Sonic games (Sonic Adventure series, Shadow the Hedgehog at least), or not?

The bad thing is that when I saw those shots, the first thing I thought was 'Sonic 3D'. Hope that's not the case.

.............I REALLY need a DS now *dies*

So freakin awesome looking....Anyone have a date for realease?

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! YES! OH MY GOD, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

It's got everything I always wanted! Sonic, but in a RPG setting... Knuckles getting kidnapped means he's actually involved in the story in some way... systems like Hourglass, Chrono Trigger...

I think I'm in loooooooooooove. =) Bioware, if this is even half as cool as it sounds, you shall be worth a million kudos!

EDIT: OMG! WAIT!

I just realized.... Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood...

Dark Brotherhood... Knuckles is kidnapped... six chaos emeralds stolen...

>:] I realize there is a very, very slim chance that it could be... but it could be. Sega's equivalent of the Dark Legion!

Yes!! Finally some info on the Sonic RPG. and it looks AWESOME!! and BioWare is awesome so this game cannot suck. But there's one thing that's bugging me... six Chaos Emeralds?
