In its latest issue (on sale from Wednesday), NGamer has spilled the dirt on the BioWare-developed Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, tapped for release later this year.
According to NGamer, the game makes extensive use of the stylus, with players not only controlling Sonic and chums with it, but also selecting context-sensitive level furniture for characters to use.
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.
BioWare has hit a rough patch following the release of Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem. However, the company has released many acclaimed games over the decades. With many being beloved titles still heralded as some of the video games ever made. Here are the top 5 best BioWare games of all time.
this is gonna be weird
This will be sweet ^^ DS just keeps getting must have games!
Poor poor Sonic Team, getting outclassed in the eponymous franchise for which you are famous for. I hope ST looks at this and gets their crap together, every Sonic game they've done since SA2 has sucked.
It looks like a pretty good game. Different, but I'm sure it will be good.
