OMG Sonic RPG

[zxzxander]

Otherwise known as,
Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood >

it's an RPG​

it's Sonic​

it's on the DS​

this website scanned all the pages and screens from Nintendo Power

-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 - 7 known are Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles, 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

the exact release date was not announced yet but it will be some time this year

Hopefully this will bring it back up.

Hopefully this will bring it back up.

I think the Xbox 360 Sonic game hammered the last nail into that coffin.

I think the Xbox 360 Sonic game hammered the last nail into that coffin.

They should return to the old roots of Sonic, and make a next-gen side-scroller, but with some special kind of Cell-shaded 3D graphics, like with Street Fighter 4.
