Bioware + Sonic

[Mista]

That's right, I thought it was crazy, but it's true. Best part is, it's for the DS!

-Cover Story with nice artwork
-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
-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
-Team attacks (like Chrono Trigger)
-"Fatigue Points" instead of MP
-Choose which attributes to increase when you level up
-Purchase and level special attacks
-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
-Remixed classic tunes
-"fully animated cut scenes"
-simple dialogue trees
-Side quests

Edit: Took out scans until I figure out if that's against the rules.

Please, SCANS! We can't get Nintendo Power here!

Sorry sir, no can do. It's against the rules. However, I'm sure a quick google search may help you find what you're looking for. Didn't take me but a few key strokes to find a bunch of links.

They are amazing pictures by the way. My favorite of the bunch is the one with the loop. Good stuff.

Umm it's all a bunch of concept art with some okay looking (but not fabulous) in game screenshots. Big whoop.

Most of the excitement is coming from the prospect of the game it self, not what it looks like. Some are looking forward to it because it's a sonic game that may actually turn out good. Others look to it as Mario RPG but with Sonic. Some, like me, love everything Bioware puts out and are thrilled that they're working on a title for the DS.

Besides that, all the art is hand drawn. Much like The Curse of Monkey Island, a screenshot doesn't show much. You've got to see it in motion.

I think she was referring specifically to the request for scans.

[Mista]

She was referring specifically to the scans I linked her to in irc.

[Arc Orion]

Exactly. The scans aren't particularly impressive.

Honestly, I'm more interested in The Force Unleashed being released for the Wii.

[Mista]

Bah!

[StruckingFuggle]

Clearly, the solution is for The Force to unleash Sonic.
