South Island - The SegaSonic & Sonic Team Forum! Welcome to South Island! Pull up a chair, grab a daquiri (non-alcoholic of course) and chill next to the old airplane for a while. ^_^ This is the spot for the gamers to come in and chat on the ORIGINAL Sonic. It's not just SegaSonic on discussion here, but Sonic's anime incarnations(Sonic X, the Movie/OVA, etc.) and general Sonic Team - Yuji Naka, Naoto Oshima, Phantasy Star Online, NiGHTS Into Dreams, and Samba! By the way - watch for falling Chu Chu's! ^^ |

You know...this makes me wonder if other sorts of future Sonic titles could possibly land in the hands of Bioware...maybe a 3D console platformer...hmmm...just floating the idea...

I don't know what to expect, since I've never played any of Bioware's games. But the thing we have to be glad about here is that it's not being made by Sonic Team, which raises the threat level from hopeless to cautiously optimistic.

Yeah in Kingdom Hearts you play your "self-insertion/androgenous character Sora" on a romp through your disney fantasies. Which basically play out as the movie but with Sora, Donald, and Goofy tagging along. So its like a fanfiction story only nobody seems to mind this.

Why is a Sonic RPG so surprising? Every mascot franchise has had one except Sonic until this point.
BALLIN!

no he didnt actually. But Ratchet and Clank and Spyro the Dragon had games with RPG ELEMENTS in them. I don't know if that counts though.

So has the Sonic Adventure games.
Does anyone else find the term RPG vague? To me I think of Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest(?) style turn based stuff. But, Then you got Fable and PSO which are real time combat with levelling up. Then you have Zelda, Okami, Beyond Good and Evil style RPGs which I would say more action orientated. And then you have Shenmue. Which I would say was a mix of Fable and Zelda if anything. There you are, my guide to the mind field of RPGs. ------

They could count.... maybe.
Anyway, I think the reason a Sonic RPG is a surprising concept is because of the following reasons: 1. Having to stop and think about your next step in the game. 2. Engaging in long conversations that lead into a.. 3. (somewhat) DEEP PLOT. 4. RPG's target a group of gamers different than those targeted by recent Sonic games. 5. Shadow has already become a "friendly nemesis," so Sonic wouldn't have a villian to eventually join his party.... oh wait, they could always create a new character. The list could go on. Feel free to add. |

Yeah. I guess my idea of RPG automatically leads me to turn-based eventhough I know there are other kinds. This just makes me even more curious.

Yea the term RPG really has changed since the introduction of the genre. I usually do think of things like Golden Sun, Phantasy Star, etc but no it's more than that really. Like JT said this genre can be broken down inot more subcategories. Action RPG, turn-based RPG, combo of both, etc As a matter of fact Sonic and The Secret Rings had very strong tendencies towards an RPG.

"1. Having to stop and think about your next step in the game.

Shadow has already become a "friendly nemesis," so Sonic wouldn't have a villian to eventually join his party.... oh wait, they could always create a new character." 1. I was thinking about that, but as long as it's fun who cares? Seems to me that Sonic's speed has becoming more and more of a prison. We may be getting a actually fun game, but everybody's scratching there heads because of the speed of it.. 2. Just not Golden Sun long. Those texts literally take a HALF-HOUR to read. 3. Sonic games have been experimenting epic stories for a while now. Besides, unlike Sega, Bioware may have writers than can, you know, WRITE. 4. So a new genre for Sonic. So what? 5. That doesn't seem all that suprising. BALLIN!

Wha-? Three pages already? A Sonic RPG must be serious business.
I find all of this surprising myself; gotta read up on the qoute more to see where I stand exactly on all this. (I only skimmed it.) But it's still wierd. We need more of a concept on how the game's controls and how it plays out. But in this early of a stage of announcement, we won't get that for a while. Be careful what you type. I run the Grammar Police.

Quote: Well, the past few genres Sonic has tackled have all come across as "cool," or "extreme." Except for the cell phone games, but I don't really count those. Nevertheless, I can't wait to see the advertising for this game. It should be interesting.  |

*Was drinking coffee when I read this*
*Had spilt the coffee all over my computer and clothes and now wants new clothes and a new computer* Seriously, wow. If it's Bioware, it could be good. It still might blow though. But if it's good, it will be hailed as the greatest moves that Sega has ever done. If it fails, then no one cares. |

Heh. Sonic may have cursed itself to a point where nobody can help him. But He's just a video game character and where there is fresh ideas, a good reputation, and the courage to pull off the seemingly impossible, There - is - hope.

Quote: And Jesus going by your capitalization. :P Yea seriously if it flops who cares, if it succeeds more power to 'em. Plus Sonic Heroes too had some "leveling up" from a more primitive standpoint but still this is going to be a fully fledge RPG, i'm assuming. If the plot rocks, i'll be glad. I want a good plot. Sorry but I do. lol |
