Bioware & Sega team up for a Sonic DS RPG
Posted by inpheaux on June 21st, 2007 at 12:21 pm. . . . . What?
No, seriously. What?
"SEGA© of America, Inc., SEGA® Europe, Ltd., and Canada-based developer studio BioWare® Corp. today announced a partnership to create a new video game based on the classic SEGA flagship icon Sonic The Hedgehog. The exact name of the game is undetermined, and it will ship in 2008.[...]
"We're thrilled to be working with SEGA on Sonic, one of the industry's most enduring and compelling icons," said Greg Zeschuk, president of BioWare. "As huge fans of Sonic ourselves, we're committed to delivering a truly amazing story-driven experience within the Sonic universe, focusing on capturing the character's broad appeal and placing him in a completely original adventure," added Ray Muzyka, chief executive officer of BioWare."
When Bioware announced that they were making a new internal handheld dev team, focused on DS projects, I don't think this is what anyone had in mind. I mean, I figured maybe we'd get some kind of KOTOR or NWN spinoff, maybe a Baldur's Gate spinoff if we were extra-good children. But Sonic?
SONIC PERFORMS A SPIN ATTACK AND DEALS 2D6 DAMAGE. YOU HAVE DEFEATED THE BUG WITH A WEIRD DRILL ON ITS HEAD.
