Even if you have no interest in the game, at least watch the trailer- hearing 'Dr. Eggman' pronounced by some guy who sounds like he's reading a documentary is priceless.

Wow..That was a very cool Trailer. I am intrested in the game, Just not alot of new infomation have been out lately for it.

Well we now know all the characters that are useable for battle. Can't wait for it to come out.

Talk about a blast from the past. BioWare's really crankin' on the ol' nostalgia wheel.

I really like the 'Attitude Button' feature, which lets you choose how attitude-y Sonic can be. It seems like a perfect fix to the identity crisis that Sonic's having as of late... now if only SoJ would pick it up...

And apparently, Amy's not as over Sonic as we'd all hoped. @_@;

By the way:

Well, thanks to that, I'm guessing this Dexter is either just something to get Sonic attention by Amy or my previous idea of him being evil.
I will be getting this game when it comes out.

We now take a break from Unleashed news with come lengthy Chronicles E3 impressions. Still no gameplay vids, though.

This is shaping up to looking like a very solid title. I like how the speed stat also gives you extra actions in battle, and how Shadow's attacks are Chaos-based like in Sonic Battle rather than weapons-based. The Chao system sounds exactly like the badges in Superstar Saga, but that's fine, because that was an insanely solid title.

Hell, as long as the game's borrowing concepts from other games (Elite Beat Agents, Mario & Luigi), they might as well toss in the characters' Super forms and have them work like the Trance function in FF6 and 9. Who wouldn't want to utilize Super Tails' army of super Flickies?

Oh, and E-123 Omega and Shade are also confirmed playable.

Yes! I second all of that. And there are 4, 5, or 6 super forms they could use.
Depending on if they have Blaze and Silver in the game.
And Shadow's deal is that he's a Chaos user. I'm sure they didn't try the weapon thing again. After all, they have Omega. (Which I think is awesome.)

Super forms. Hi Amy. Hi Big. If they'd pack super forms in something that is not a final battle, it'd be just unjust for those characters that would not have them, and be not used unless there's a strict necessity of an infield action.

What I mean is, that's very unlikely to happen.

Also apparently, the character selection on map is merely for these so-called field actions. Sonic for instance can go through loops, Tails can fly up... I speculate Knux can dig, Rouge can open treasures, Amy can activate switches with her hammer, Big can fish... and these sorta things.

I just meant Super forms for the Big 4: Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and Shadow. IE, only for characters that already have them. And going back to my Trance example, in FF6 Terra was the only one who had it, but did that make any of the other characters less valuable? Nope.

I'd personally totally dig a Super Amy though. We'll see anyway.

Yeah but Amy doesn't get one for some reason. Blaze just got one because she's the alt-Sonic. And maybe as a super move or something. Like if you have a meter all the way up. Hopefully Big can do something useful.

After months of neglect.... BUUUUUUMP!!

September 30th is the big release date; then we'll all know how well Chronicles turned out.

And as a word of... something... it looks like they've assembled a lot of different universes into one. The guys who have promo'd the game say that there are references to every Sonic Universe within Chronicles, and some are in really clever places.

Sounds like a nice bit 'o ZXA-style easter eggs if you ask me.

Really? So their going to mix it up with other Classic sonic game to the recent ones?

What about the comics? Are they going to metion some of the comic arks as a easter egg too.

Man Bioware is going all out for this title.

Unknown Neo · Posted: Fri Sep 19, 2008 5:19 pm Post subject:

Oh no not the comics. Anyway, I payed off my copy and I as well as other hope it's good. In the meantime, I'll be playing the Kirby game for the DS. The new one.

If that's Superstar that's an old one repackaged. Razz

I think Robin nailed it, there's going to be things from everything. A lot of the areas have their roots in the Genesis games, and from what little is known I'm told that there are, in fact, some parallels between The Brotherhood and a few Archie arcs. Supposedly, there's also a guitar from SU involved in the background somewhere and a few SWATbot-based enemies from SatAM.

And before you fly off the handle, these are easter eggs. They're not going to impact the major Sonic universe, so there's no use getting upset. Rolling Eyes

Sorry, that's a joke reaction. But some will be much meaner about the idea.
And Nenji, Kirby does do that sometimes. Besides, it's a good game.

Oh I know and I liked the game, I was just amused you clarified it by calling it the new one when it is in fact old. Razz
