All sonic is meant to do is run and jump and shut the fuck up

I'm just worried that they'll use the universe established in recent Sonic games and try to make it all gritty. Sonic's not supposed to be gritty, it's supposed to be bright and happy and gay. But if it's done right, it could be the Super Mario RPG of this generation.

Well, if Mario can make the jump out of his element into RPG World with the backing of Squarsoft, and have a hit, then Sonic, with the backing of one of the biggest powerhouse developers of recent generations, has a sporting chance of having a pretty awesome game. But Mario was never a game about speed. The control would have to be more open ended combat as opposed to a turn based RPG.

I'm not really worried about the gameplay. I think Bioware can pull it off. I am worried about how they'll use the Sonic license. They did a hell of a job with Star Wars, but then again, the Star Wars universe works really well for an RPG.
Let's face it, Sonic's world isn't really ideal for an RPG. Look at Sonic Battle. That game's atmosphere was just plain boring. They're either going to have to set this in some crazy alternate universe, go back to the stylized settings of the Genesis games, or have Knuckles as the main character and have him go on some crazy adventure in ancient echidna civilization times, as seen in Sonic Adventure.
Or, they could base it on the old Saturday morning cartoons or the Archie comics, which would be the best setting for a Sonic RPG. It won't happen, though a part of me wishes it would.

Substitute "vacation" for "coke binge".

Based on the camera system from the Next Gen game? Yeah, that sounds right.

I'm kinda bummed this isn't gonna be based on the Saturday morning cartoon/Archie comics, because there's a lot of great potential for an RPG there. I miss Princess Sally, Sega should've adopted her.

I have full faith in Bioware, they've created some amazing games and have proven themselves worthy, especially in the Western RPG market.
