The game's visual style reminds me a bit of Dofus. I'm totally hyped for this....

I can't wait to have Sonic & Tails in my party, squee~ ^_^

Edit: from Nintendo Power article:

-In game graphics have a water color look, all hand drawn
-4 party members at a time
-Each character can do certain things ex: Tails can float over things (standard stuff)
-11 party members total - 8 known are Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Amy, Rouge, Shadow, Big the Cat
-Control done fully with stylus - think Hourglass
-Able to split party into teams at certain moments
-Rings are used as currency
-Rage meter turns Sonic into Omega Sonic unleashing a black fury on badniks
-No random battles, see enemies on the field
-Turn based battles, choose commands for everyone in your party before they actually follow through. Want battles to be fast paced
-Elite Beat Agents style special attacks
-Return of fan favorite Ray the Squirrel
-Team attacks (like Chrono Trigger)
-"Fatigue Points" instead of MP
-Choose which attributes to increase when you level up
-Purchase and level special attacks
-Make your own radical character to have adventures alongside Sonic
-Bits of story - Sonic's on vacation from defeating Eggman 2 years ago. Gets a call from Tails that Knuckles has been kidnapped by a group called the Marauders, and that 6 chaos emeralds are missing. 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.
-2 acts - first takes place in standard Sonic areas. 2nd takes place in a darker world
-Ren'Ai style dating system
-Remixed classic tunes
-"fully animated cut scenes"
-simple dialogue trees
-Side quests

I want a Sonic/Tails gay romance. *^_^*

 

[Kingston]

Yea I saw these a while ago. I think the art style is pretty wicked.

 

[Jasede]

While I think the concept art is really good, what does that say? Nothing. Fallout 3 has great concept art too.

edit: how low have we fallen to discuss this game. And the worst thing, it's most likely going to be a better RPG than Mass Effect and Oblivion.

 

[Brother None]

Fallout 3 has great concept art too.

Not really. Some decent concept art, but no great concept art. Van Buren had great concept art.

 

[Lesifoere]

Better than Oblivion, most likely. But ME at least doesn't feature pink hedgehogs, you know, give it a little slack.

The art is pretty. Pity I can't get over the furr--I mean anthromorphic hedgehogs. I don't know the fandom at all, but on another board, I have encountered this girl who writes Sonic fanfiction. More to the point, Sonic rape/abuse fanfiction that ranges from such delights as "Sonic is raped by Shadow", "Sonic is married to Amy and beats her; Shadow rides to Amy's rescue" to "Knuckles rapes Amy; they fall in love."

 

[rpgcodexusername]

there are a disturbing number of people who still like sonic,

they are going to go crazy over these screenshots,

edit: how low have we fallen to discuss this game.

Why? It is a fairly anticipated title, featuring a well known title character, from a developer that is frequently discussed on these boards...

I for one will probably get a DS to play it.

 

[Mayday]

The visual style of the game is indeed mightily pretty.

 

[Texas Red]

Who could have expected Sonic to have better art than FR?

 

[nik2008ofs]

FR?

 

[Lesifoere]

Forgotten Realms?

Sigged.

How low has BioWare fallen to be making this is the best question. Seriously, a few years ago, BioWare was KING even though I wasn't a huge fan of theirs. Something like Sonic the Hedgehog CRPG kind of shows how far they've fallen from their throne. Not only is it a silly notion, it's a copy of a silly notion - Mario RPG. It's not even original.

 

[Jasede]

Hmm, you're right, I forgot about Mario RPG. Which was, by the way, incredible in every way, for a jRPG.

Wonder how she'll feel about this

 

[Jasede]

Those people are very, very ill.

 

[MetalCraze]

now if even Jasede says that those people are very, very ill... not that I don't see it for myself. but... WTF? certificate of marriage? save the humanity, hang them.

the game graphics looks pretty neat though

Oh god no, just no no no. I demand some uplifting WH40k pics, something with Sonic meeting the chainfist, other gore spawning apparatus will suffice as well.

Lovely how robophilia is getting way too possible with the technology we have though. Think they are already about to produce new RealDolls which have MP3 players and sensors at strategic locations. Nerds will become extinct when the chances of female nerd meeting male nerd become zero due to the advent of Sephiroth and Aeris dolls.

Oh come on, bioware can't get lower than where they are right now because after all, they fcsking made a STARWARS based game. Fucking STARWARS. Then they started pumping out action games with some RPG elements for consoles : Jade Empire and Mass Effect.

Sonic RPG is no worse, it's in pure continuity.

They were bought by EA, what did you expect?

 

[Volourn]

Why ar epeople praising the graphics? It's subpar at best.

That said, there's nothing wrong with BIO making a Sonic game. It sure beats MAKING NO GAMES AT ALL *cough* Troika *cough*.


"Then they started pumping out action games with some RPG elements for consoles : Jade Empire and Mass Effect."

The hiliarty about the comment I just quoted is that both JE and ME has more role-playing in their pinky fingers than BIO's earlier games which for some stupid reason the BIO hating Codexers are wax nostalgic for. L0L In other words, STFU.

I get it that there were no other companies that managed to be KING even though you weren't a huge fan of theirs?
