Basic production went like this:

Guy 1: "Holy shit guys! Guess what? You know that thing where we released a bunch of old Mario games for the Virtual Console every week?"

Guy 2: "Lol yeah. I love that idea of translating games instead of working on a new one.'

Guy 1: "Turns out this one, it was like... Super Mario RPG or something... well a lot of people are buying it, and they like it!"

Guy 3: "Really? They like possibly one of the greatest ideas ever created? Wow, how weird!"

Guy 1: "So I was thinking... if they really like it, then they'd probably buy a NEW version right?"

Guy 2: "Hey YEAH! That would be amazing! We'd get a whole BUNCH of sales!"

Guy 3: "We can even clone the game like we did for the first two Paper Mario games!"

Guy 2: "And we'll use Sonic! It'll be amazing!"

Guy 1: "We should put it on the DS so we don't have to make good looking graphics!"

Guy 2: "Then we can have it controlled through touching the screen, so that will be EXTRA FUN!"

Guy 3: "OH OH OH! WE SHOULD HAVE A TRADING CARD SYSTEM TOO! BUT INSTEAD OF CARD WE CAN HAVE CHAO!! THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE SO ALL OF THE KIDS WILL BE EXCITED THEY GOT THE REFERENCE!!!"

Guy 1: "OMG THATS SUCH AN AWESOME IDEA!"

Guy 2: "We can get a popular game maker to help boost the coolness! We could also make some brand new totally awesome characters and sell their rights to the other company!"

Guy 3: "OMG THAT IDEA IS SO BRILLIANT!"

Guy 1: "Alright, that was an awesome revelation. Brb gatta fap to sum furry hentai l8r"



Regardless, I think I might get the game anyhow.

You DO know that Sonic Chronicles was announced in 2006 before the Virtual Console was really anything, right?  

You didn't? Then shut up. And also you are assuming that Bioware, the developers, are a group of uncreative shills that Sega got on for developer recognition, similar to how Lucasarts put them on for Knights of the Old Republic. Kindly shoot yourself.

The Chaos sound more like the badges in Paper Mario than trading cards to me, and they worked out fine. But whatever.

I'm looking forward to it, though, if only to see how they could mess it up. It probably won't be in the obvious ways you outlined, though.

Sonic was always a creature of marketing. When you remove the element of the half-decent gameplay, that makes it doubly bad. :(

-You collect and trade Chao online. That would mean its like baseball cards.
-I never said that Bioware wasn't great, they've done some nice stuff. I'm just saying this seems to mimic the entire thing that happened with Super Mario RPG, and it'll probably end up like a wannabe.
-Pardon me for not knowing it was in E3 2006. It had said it was the best rpg game of e3 2008.  That one was my bad.

It looks nice, but I just highly doubt it can really surface as a good game. There's just so much that could go wrong, and more that looks like is going wrong, it's hard to get really excited about it. It still feels like it was a remake of Super Mario RPG, when they should have made Super Mario RPG 2 instead. Not only that, its that Sega's recent Sonic games have been shooting out at us, it's hard to say which one could be good. There that "Unleased" title they are supposed to be working on, and that stupid Sonic-Gots-A-Sword game they spit out... I've lost a lot of faith in Sega, so they're going to need more than just a few cruddy videos to tell me how good this game might be.

Has anyone watched any of those? Pretty pitiful, really. They explained how Sonic will be more like an RPG, by telling us what an RPG is. "There will be things called "Healthnuts", that will replenish your health meter." Well, one would assume so.

And hasn't Sega tried to make an RPG before? I think Bioware is a little more than just a "Oh sure, we'd love to help you with this RPG".

I thought it looked okay

Turns out it isn't. Dang.


Also anyone else think that a Donkey Kong RPG would just feel so right?

forget that it's sonic, bioware rpg on the ds, i'm sold.

kotor, mass effect, BALDUR'S GATE, neverwinter nights, they have an amazing track record with rpgs, i have 100% faith in them, quit being a whiny fan boy, the game is going to be good, even if it is sonic.

Gametrailers guy: THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST DS GAME OF 2008 BECAUSE BIOWARE IS MAKING IT

Sure, BioWare makes wonderful things. But obviously you haven't seen how bad Sonic can make something.

I like werewolves less because Sega thought Sonic would be cool as a werewolf.

I actually like how the new sonic games are looking like:

Sonic unleashed (even the werehog parts) look  fun.

Sonic Chronicles looks decent.

and you know what?

Sonic and the black knight looks pretty cool as well.

Shut up

Dude... no, nevermind.

Eggman is referred to as Dr Robotnik in this game I hear. That's enough to warrant a purchase.

Sonic is Sonic in this game I hear. That's enough to warrant no purchase but perhaps looks of disgust from me as I walk through the electronics section at the store.

I've heard this is basically Super Mario RPG but with Sonic Characters.  Sounds neat.

I've heard it got a little of Elite Beat Agents style too

78% on Game Rankings is pretty good in my book. IGN are a bunch of wankers anyway.

You deserve a slap. :facepalm:

The werewolf game was originally sonic adventure 3, it might be good.

If it's an RPG I might just skip it,but add an action elements to the RPG and I might buy it

:suicide:

It will at least be better than that shit-biscuit that was Sonic the Hedgehog for the PS3. I bet they made it to lower our expectations for this one.

I've yet to play Sonic The Hedgehog, it seemed awesome until I heard the reviews. I imagine it's better than sonic heroes at least?

Alarmingly enough, no. Shitty voice acting is still better than randomly falling through the ground. :mad:

Cash or charge?

Uhm isn't sonic about speed ? how can you make that an rpg ?

also lol. sonic.

Quote from: Asshatclock;1410693Uhm isn't sonic about speed ? how can you make that an rpg ?

also lol. sonic.

Well how could you make a platformer with a "rescue the princess" story into an RPG? Could still work.

Make Them Feel Your POW Moves.

Quote from: SnakeClock;1410804Well how could you make a platformer with a "rescue the princess" story into an RPG? Could still work.

Its not story, its gameplay, the mario rpg's were about jumping, mushrooms and most importantly stars.

Sonic is about getting from point a to point b really fast, with a story that's supposed to be deep or something I have no idea what its about these days.

Also RUNNING FAST RANDOM ENCOUNTER STOP KILL ENEMIES START RUNNING AGAIN RANDOM ENCOUNTER STOP KILL ENEMIES kind of disrupts the flow.

i would in fact pay for a revamped Sonic the hedgehog 2 like i payed for New Super mario bros. instead of this shit

I think this explains my thoughts well enough:

Why??? Why do you post such trivial and moronic things?

Quote from: SnakeClock;1410648I bet they made it to lower our expectations for this one.

It seems to have worked on me. I think this game could crash and burn.


EDIT: BTW, that werewolf example was a bad one. Sonic and the Black Knights was something that near killed every future Sonic hope I had in me. That new Sonic thing looks like it could hope to live up to Sonic Adventure 2, but I hated the part about the Werewolf, since thats not why I want a Sonic title.

If either of the games crash and burn, you can probably expect a bump of this thread.

Quote from: Zelos Wilder;1417797I think this explains my thoughts well enough:

Heh. :)

Quote from: Drake Bell;1418306It seems to have worked on me. I think this game could crash and burn.

It's been doing pretty well on Metacritic.

Would you rather have a werewolf or Cream? ;) And I like how Black Knight is turning out, for reasons unrelated to my expectations of Sonic these days.

Quote from: Drake Bell;1418306If either of the games crash and burn, you can probably expect a bump of this thread.

Oh yes, I'm certainly looking forward to it.

Quote from: SnakeClock;1418311Would you rather have a werewolf or Cream? ;) And I like how Black Knight is turning out, for reasons unrelated to my expectations of Sonic these days.

Oh well I see your point. Werwolf >>>>> Cream. And I'd actually try Black Knights if it wasn't the pure shame of going to the register and purchasing it.

Welcome to the Internet. :p

They have these wacky new things called game rentals, not sure if you've heard of them...

Quote from: Drake Bell;1418318Oh well I see your point. Werwolf >>>>> Cream. And I'd actually try Black Knights if it wasn't the pure shame of going to the register and renting it.

Alright, I fixed it. I guess I could pony up and walk to Blockbuster and say my little brother wants it or something...

I'm never interested in any recent Sonic games anyway.

Because somebody is totally watching you from behind the Comedy shelf to make sure you're being properly edgy by thinking that Sonic games are shit. :rolleyes:
