BioWare talks Sonic RPG
After announcing Sonic RPG to stunned gamers last week, BioWare has given their first words on the mysterious project to IGN. Unfortunately, the interview doesn’t shed much light on the game or what to expect, but it’s better than nothing.
IGN: Give us a taste of what we can expect out of Sonic’s first RPG. Is this going to be anything like what Square did years ago with the Mario RPG SNES title?
Ray Muzyka: We haven’t announced any specific features yet, but obviously the DS is a very cool platform and we play games on it all the time as fans ourselves. Without giving away too much, we can say that we will be using many of DS’s feature sets and we’ll really be pushing the limits of what the system can do, always striving to innovate in what we deliver, as in all BioWare games.
Above all, we’re committed to deliver a deep, compelling, unique and entertaining experience in this first BioWare RPG for DS. There are many fans of Sonic at BioWare and our love for the IP goes way back - I myself have an autographed (by the creators of Sonic) SEGA Genesis which is still plugged in side by side with my 360, Wii and PS3, and the main games I play on the Genesis when I go back to that system are Sonic I and II :)
Here’s hoping the game is better than not.

I immediately question the professionalism of any interview that has actual emoticons in its writeup.

Atleast his favorite Sonic games are Sonic 1 and 2. Hopefully that means we won’t see much of the latest bullshite affecting the game(like the game actually just featuring Sonic and Tails, as they should).

I’m fairly sure you could even do an RPG with a single playable character, providing the gameplay is fun and varied. Why exactly does an RPG require tonnes of playable characters?

I just hope they make it a Action RPG.
My Wishlist of Playable Characters for this game:
*Sonic
*Tails
*Knuckles
*Amy
*Shadow
*Cream
*Big
*Espio
*Charmy
*Vector
But don’t worry, most are optional characters.
