BioWare's RPG?: Sega patents 'Sonic Chronicles' photo

Word from CVG is that Sega has recently filed for trademark of "Sonic Chronicles," which one can safely assume has everything to do with that nasty little bugger, Sonic the Hedgehog. A larger (but obvious) leap is that Sonic Chronicles may indeed be the name of BioWare's unnamed Sonic role-playing game.

This is backed by your favorite female who surfs, Surfer Girl, who says in her blog that "BioWare's Sonic Chronicles is easily the most inspired game in the Sonic franchise in years and is the best since Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast." Of course, one could say that the mysterious little blogger is taking the obvious route; it's almost as if Sega has been on auto-pilot with the Sonic franchise for years.

In any case, we're crossing our fingers that whatever Sonic Chronicles is, it's not another collection of classic Sonic games. On the other hand, the pyre is burning out, and it is getting a bit colder this winter ...

i wonder if this will be multiplatform considering that EA own BioWare now.

Even if it's the same as Mario RPG, it's gonna be better because Sonic > Mario ;)

...Bioware better not be making this...I'm sorry but I'd much rather see a Jade Empire II, or maybe see what that new MMO studio of theirs has been making.

Is this SurferGirl hot?

I like to pretend she is, so if she isnt, please refrain from destroying my fantasy.

Thanks.

Also, Sonic.

I dunno, it might be good. But the quote "Since Sonic Adventure" is so done now. SA wasn't that great, either.

qwerty: Okay back. The first one was still pretty fun. The second one's still the best gameplaywise though.

Sonic will get to choose to sleep with Amy, that Princess chick, or go bi-curious and snuggle up with his buddy Tails! lol

Anyway, if fans are stupid enough to buy the shitty Sonic games that come out nowadays they'll probably by this as well, but hey if BioWare is doing it it'll probably be good. Hard to imagine a good Sonic game anymore.

Super Mario RPG was fucking awesome.

Hopefully this game will bring Sonic back from the dead.

It's more like Sega's been asleep at wheel!

I'm highly anticipating this one. I trust Bioware with my favorite hedgehog in the world. PS3 RPG FTW!

They seriously need to take this opportunity to kill off almost all the side characters in some dramatic fashion.

@ Luvmysegadc; haha, that's clever. ;O)

@ Qwerty; I feel the jadedness, but sadly, I disagree.

The fact that Bioware is doing this greatly surprises me. This game may actually have something going for it.

BioWare is now the american Square. Square made an amazing Mario RPG(which is better than SM64 imo). I'm sure BioWare will make a great game here. Or a really annoying/terrible game. To the person saying it will be like Baldur's Gate/Dragon Age, you're probably right.

Sonic Adventure was so great because of not only the gameplay, but the way it told the story. Each level(AKA the world the game takes place in) and part of the story(cutscenes/dialog) was changed(sometimes drastically) depending on the character. This idea was somewhat carried over to the second one(although it was like multiple sides building on one story[i.e., one character did one thing allowing another to do something; which was pretty much the entire Dark side] rather than 6 sides seeing each event differently). Sonic Heroes still sorta did it. Sonic The Hedgehog just was an epic fail in everyway.

Sonic better not have long induced conversations about fucking chilidogs. Less talky, more runny with battle options and hit points.

Funny picture too.
