Our second is that in recent years we've grown less fond of him, partly due to his hip new 'attitude' that he's earned which annoys us every time he opens his mouth and says something with his smarmy voice. So when we first heard that a Sonic RPG was coming to the DS we thought "sounds great... shame it'll have the new Sonic in it, not the old one". Turns out we were wrong.
Sonic Chronicles is old-school. There are no embarrassing wise-cracks, no 'rad' American voice acting and no "oh my God isn't Sonic so awesome, kids" moments. In fact, one of the first things that surprised us after we started the game was how normal Sonic has become."
Despite the fame and popularity of both the studio and the IP in question, not everyone knows that Bioware developed a Sonic RPG prior to them being acquired by EA, Sonic Chronicles for the Nintendo DS, and it was recently detailed in a DidYouKnowGaming video that both Bioware and SEGA were down for a sequel, but it was ultimately canceled for a surprising reason: SEGA was sued for copyright infringement
to be fair tho, the rpg for the DS was a mess.
touchscreen-only was not a good way to make a game like this.
I wish Sega got together with Square and made a Sonic RPG for the Genesis I would have played that.
Just because the first one sucked, doesn't mean Sega should abandon the idea of a Sonic RPG.
