Sonic RPG infos

[Fyz]

French gaming site, jeuxfrance.com has posted some infos, along with screenshots on the upcoming Sonic RPG.

Concerning the history it will be a question this time of a removal of Knuckles and emeralds but Eggman will apparently not be the principal enemy here even if he will have a role to play. The play will make you pass between the usual world of Sonic and the world obscure. It will unfortunately be necessary still to wait to have a little more information on Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood envisaged on Nintendo DS.

Here's a link to the translated article.

I sense a PLOT TWIST!

What's that from? I must see it!

There was a 7 page article in Nintendo Power.

-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

Pretty promising. Hope there's Sonic/Tails romance for the yaoi fangirls & me.

Turn based and isometric.
IT'S RPG HEAVEN!

On a more serious note, I find those hand drawn background and graphics pretty good. It's a shame there aren't any hand drawn RPGs (or games) for the PC nowadays; I'm tired of all this immershun and realism stuff.

So they're pretty much ripping off all they can from Paper Mario with the exception of having a greasy plumber the star?

 

[Jasede]

I don't think ripping off from Paper Mario is a bad thing. Ripping off can be good. Case in point: Banjo & Kazooie compared to Super Mario 64.

 

[CrimsonAngel]

My problem is still that it is Bioware that is working on it.

They generally like to try and out do bethesda in dumping down and retardify games.

But let's see what happens.

 

[MetalCraze]

let's see what happens?

as if -Sonic- rpg on -ds- is not a pitiful thing by itself.

 

[Bluebottle]

-Ren'Ai style dating system
-"fully animated cut scenes"

That sounds like a potentially dangerous and disturbing combination. I shan't be risking my innocent eyeballs on this one.

 

[Sovy Kurosei]

Ren'Ai style dating system

Wait, what!?

 

[Radisshu]

Ren'Ai style dating system

Wait, what!?

Seconded.

 

[CrimsonAngel]

Seconded.

sounds hot.

 

[Walkin' Dude]

-Rage meter turns Sonic into Omega Sonic unleashing a black fury on badniks

Heh. Ghetto sonic.

 

[Sovard]

I wonder if you can follow the way of the closed hog or open quills. Then there would be a chance to throw in good ol' Shadow the Hedgehog for maximum XTREME appeal.

Actually, I'm getting pictures of Sonic "roadrashing" the face off of enemies. Man, if it only was rated 'M' due to violence (and not gay animal sex.)




P.S. I guess that Barrett shot was from the new Rambo, then? Good gravy.

Seconded.

Shut up you decadent, vile personnage.

Seriously what the hell is going on here. What is this. What does this means. The fuck, guys.

 

[User was nabbed fit]

Most fucking best first reply to this kind of thread.

-Rage meter turns Sonic into Omega Sonic unleashing a black furry on badniks

Fixed.

Fixed.

Black furries do not exist.

I am buying it. This is the first BIG western RPG on a handheld. I will be there.

Bethesda should do something good for once and port the damn Fallouts to the DS. The stylus would be like the mouse. Some sacrifices would be made but I would buy it.

Same here.

Go SONIC! Fuck Bioware! Fuck J-RPGs.

This game will pretty much be a JRPG.

 

[Mamon]

^^

No:

-Choose which attributes to increase when you level up: I don´t remember the last time I did this in a JRPG.

-Dialog-trees: JRPGs dont use them, not even simple ones.

-Sidequests: The article mentions sidequests, which will probably more in the WRPG fashion than in the japanese one. WRPGs are packed with sidequests, while in J-ones, for the most part, are an afterthought and mostly minigames.

-The game will probably have some slight choices and consequences.

 

[JarlFrank]

But the setting was created by the Nips...

 

[Fat Dragon]

I can only imagine what the dialogue will be like.

Tails: Sonic, we should help those cuddly, little critters that Eggman trapped in that odd looking machine!

Sonic: We don't have time for that! Eggman must be stopped as fast as possible!

Tails: But Sonic-

Sonic: *grabs collar* I gave you an order and you damn well better follow it!



Amy: Wow, Sonic, you were incredible!

Sonic: Wanna go again?
