BioWar on new Sonic RPG
With nothing except the announcement of its existence and the promise that “everyone at SEGA has huge confidence that Sonic is in the safest of hands [with BioWare],” the new Sonic RPG on the DS still seems to have created some buzz down at the forums.
Wired Blog Network recently did an interview with BioWare’s CEO Ray Muzyka and President Greg Zeschuk for Sonic‘s transition from running and jumping for rings on platforms into running and jumping for rings with a story. In the interview they talked about insights into the game’s production and BioWare’s challenges in creating it.
Muzyka and Zeschuk assures Sonic fans that the new RPG will have “all the fast-paced action of Sonic, plus a deep and engaging storyline.” Although BioWare is used to making games on a pretty grand scale, like Neverwinter Nights and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, they are confident that the new Sonic RPG will still have “all the best elements that make up a great BioWare game.” Also, making the game on the DS will be an advantage because people tend to play in shorter lengths on it, making it perfect for a fast-paced Sonic game.
They also promise that all the characters and story elements of the old Sonic games will be present in the game. Developers hope that the game will appeal to old and new fans, and both young and old.
