Bioware was never good
>>750195115You're mom was never good
no, if anything the sonic franchise is cursed just like the sonichu medallion.
This crap was made by a C-team at best.
>>750195636Oops all C-teams>muhss effectA fluke
>>750195115Post that one song, you know the one.
>>750195115Now now, that game had a shitload of issue in it's development, including the soundtrack and even every sounds having to be entirely redone 2 month before releaseThe gameplay idea was decent even if a badly executed, and the story actually was pretty good
>>750195115still better than sonic 06

>>750195816Actually, the music was worse than 06.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_f4LFgiXFY
I got halfway through this game before selling it. The EBA-style combat wasn't a half bad idea but it never switched things up, and the rest of it couldn't carry it past the underwhelming combat.
>>750195115this game is ludokino though
>>750195115A Sonic RPG COULD be good, but which modern studio could handle one? Falcom? Whoever made Mario & Luigi: Brothership?
>>750196218>Whoever made Mario & Luigi: Brothership?Acquire (same devs as Octopath Traveler). They'd do well with pure turn-based or turn-based with action commands but would a modern Sonic RPG be like that or have straight-up action combat?
>>750196218Platinum at their prime.
>>750195115Amazing how this is the one sonic game where eggman completely wins, yet it’s also one of the most memory holed games ever made.
>>750195115This was made by them!?That was my first and last bioware game then
>>750196545IIRC it's because there was some huge lawsuit with the guy who wrote the comics at the time or something and basically if Sega ever returns to this story or the characters it would reopen the case
I can’t believe Ken Penders killed Bioware.>>750197746The case was ultimately settled between Ken and Archie. If Ken started shit with Sega directly he’d be torn a new one.
>>750197746Isn't that guy really old now? does it mean they might use stuff after he's gone from old age? Or is there other people involved than just him?
>>750197917He's barely even 70Boomers live forever because they can just pay for more hearts
>>750195115Unironically love this game. Shame we'll never get a sequel.
>>750196545There was supposed to be a sequel where the big lovecraftian squid that trapped the echidnas in the pocket dimension shows up to do the same to the Eggman Empire and Sonic and Eggman team up to take it down. Presumably Eggman would've attempted to betray Sonic afterwards and would've been defeated in turn, restoring the status quo.
I already know the answer why, but I got to ask. Why did BioWare hire some random gay retarded furry to do the music? It caused problems for them and he didn't want to work anyway.
>>750197917If Ken kicks the bucket chances are his kids would get “ownership” of his characters. It doesn’t really matter either way because Sega wants nothing to do with anything related to Archie or DIC.
>>750195740>the story actually was pretty goodCame here to say this. The story is actually pretty solid. Legit some of the best writing in any Sonic game. Low bar, yes, but still.
>>750198395If what you are saying is true, even in the 2000s, a part of the older sonic fanbase were into that subculture, maybe they wanted to get a fan on it? I don't know enough about what happened behind the scene or even about the guy to say more though
>>750198510Okay, I loaded up and I was sorely mistaken. It turns out that because of there being a huge lawsuit involved with this game, they couldn't actually use the original OST they commissioned. So they just got random MIDI files from fan websites. In other words, they got some random furry kid's free song and made it into a real song at the last minute because they were rushing to finish the game before they got sued by Ken Penders.
>>750199235Funny way of saying “Sega didn’t tell Bioware that they don’t own most of the music from the Sonic franchise”
Chronicles' original music is actually pretty fucking good, third Battle Theme is good club music. The rest of the soundtrack is just shitty MIDI versions of already existing Sonic music.
>>750196317I can't stand their writing, or Square Enix's approach to story in general. Big no.I'd like to see one by the Xenoblade 2 developers. Love to see a game glorify Rouge with her big titties, and show funny upskirts of Amy while telling a kino story, and exciting cinematics along the way.
