Since this is a chao forum, I thought it would be customary to post a Sonic game with CHAO IN IT. Note, instead of being a platformer, it's an RPG. Before you're ready to trash that, it's being produced by Bioware, which has made very famed games such as KOTOR, Jade Empire, and Mass Effect. If you haven't played any of these, firmly place a stick of dynamite in your ass. I'll just post here what I did on another forum.

| -Cover Story with nice artwork -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 |

| Also the producers want you to feel an emotional bond with the characters |
BIG THE CAT MAKES HIS FUCKING RETURN. And Shadow is, of course, in too. Here's hoping to no Silver.
Most important of all Bioware is developing this game instead of Sonic Team. This game will either rock the earth or reek of the depths of hell.
Screens:
So far, it's been announced for the DS (other systems pending)"
(Also separating my info in a couple posts so you're eyes are strained from one never-ending post)

| -Possible Hint: Tails Dies -Just 15 minutes of play saw Sonic consider leaving Knuckles to rot: a choice on the conversation tree -a bizarrely adult moment in which prim Amy says to mammalian slattern Rouge the Bat, "You're a tramp!" |
Shade is a playable character.
The robotic dude's name is Zoah (it appears that it's a type of enemy, not just a lone boss)
Also here's the story thusfar

| Sonic is on vacation from defeating Eggman two years ago. He gets a call from Tails that Knuckles has been kidnapped by a group called the Marauders, and that six Chaos Emeralds are missing. According to BioWare, Eggman will not be the main villain, but he will be a "more credible bad guy again". The game will also have fully animated cut scenes. According to Nintendo Power magazine, "The second act takes place in a darker world than we're accustomed to seeing in Sonic games". |

I already decided to buy this game when SCC posted about this 18-some months ago when it was announced that Bioward would develop the game.
Wow, it's really looking good, though

Can't say I like the watercolor look. It's stylish, but I don't like it. Not sure if I'll buy it.

I'm too busy to read all of that at the moment (I just looked at the picutures). Looks really cool. Shade looks awesome. :3
