Since the dark green DS system will probably never be released(I was holding off for it), I guess I'll snag this game and the Onyx handheld. :\

Looks much better than I expected. OK, so I expected it to be absolute garbage - but it does actually look pretty decent. Let's just hope there's not too much high pitched Sonic dialogue.

Why would ANYTHING Bioware-developed look like garbage? That's just ignorant. They've never produced anything but pure gold.

I can't believe I might be buying a Sonic game!
Now imagine if Bioware did a Mario RPG? Hmmmmmmmm.

Wow, very good. Bioware is doing an excellent game...

Now we need a Super Mario RPG sequel, developed by Square and Nintendo.

Ugh I'm sorry, but Biggs the Cat? Really??? I don't understand how Sega can think that he appeals to anyone. I mean even little kids hate him!

Bioware seems to think that they can do the impossible. I hope they're right, this game looks like it could be pretty good.

I like better the name Dr. Robotnik instead of Eggman.

Damn you, I was JUST about to type that.

Seriously, what next, is Bowser going to rename himself to Big Green Poopy Pants!?


"Bwahaha, I Big Green Poopy Pants have just took Pink Lady Blonde from Mr. Pumblerboy"

He's been called Eggman since Sonic 1 in Japan. Of course, it came out in the U.S. first, so they really should've been the ones to have a name change, not the other way around!

If Bioware can't make a good sonic RPG, then sonic needs to get out of the RPG business.

Story certainly seems like the cheesy, overly-dramatic plots common to current Sonic installations

I wonder if BioWare can pull it off

I love Bioware and all but... umm... ok. I've known about the game for a while but it still hasn't sunk in yet.

And thanks Sega for the completely pointless trailer. More gameplay, less "movie voice over" guy.

Is it just me or is a sonic RPG a lame idea? Sonic should be about super fast platforming, not turn based role playing.

So since the new sonic games are crap and don't work, then why does Sega think that an RPG is the answer? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the hedgehog? I don't know, just seems destined for failure.

That's the exact same thing that people said about Mario before Mario RPG and the Paper Mario series. Those work really well, so I don't see why this shouldn't.

Movie trailer voice guy can make anything sound epic. Bioware can make and epic game out of any franchise. This game is full of win.

Yeah, that'd be nice ... Great. Now I'm going to be voted down for my avatar and comment.
Anyways, I look forward to this game. I'm really liking the presentation and look of it.

Dude, this is Bioware we're talking about. Remember the whole alien/human sex thing.

I'm sure hedgehog/human sex will still turn up, then we'll all be satisfied.

That trailer really reminds me of the intro to MDK2. And man...it actually makes me want this game. That's just not right, considering how much I hate Sonic.

That trailer is waay too intense for a game that will probably have a silly storyline. It'll probably be a decent game, however. I hate the "Eggman" name, I too liked the Dr. Robotnik name MUUUCH better in the series' pre-Dreamcast days. Seems to kind of water down the story.

I believe that bioware could be doing something better. The Sonic universe is in a word, lame.

Modern Sonic world yes also I never liked the way the 3D games included humans. It was weird, it would’ve been better with just the talking animals,the normal people seems out of place.

Is like playing Oblivion when suddenly you see Mary Mcfly passing by chased by Native Americans. It just doesn’t fit.

Classic Sonic world still had a lot of potential but it was forgotten to bring the extreme Sonic.Basically everything was great with the 2D sonic when something like this happened:

It doesn't look bad and it could be interesting even when they are expanding Sonic universe way out of proportion but it could be as good as Super Mario Paper.

I can accept Mario in a RPG maybe because I have seen Mario in other successful RPGs (Also in a lot of crap) but I can’t accept Sonic in a RPG. I’m intrigued how they fit Sonic fast gameplay into a slow RPG, maybe is the fastest Rpg ever which would be great because everyone knows it takes a good chunk of life to finish an RPG.

Well best of luck Bioware

Weird for some reason my inner Sega-fanboy is crying in the inside.
