SEGA AND BIOWARE COLLABORATE ON NEW SONIC ROLE PLAYING GAME FOR THE NINTENDO DS


LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (Thurs 21st June 2007) -- SEGA® Europe, Ltd., SEGA® of America, Inc. 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, but this new title developed exclusively for the Nintendo DS will ship in 2008.

“BioWare is one of the hottest names in RPG development in the world,” said Simon Jeffery, President and COO, SEGA of America, Inc. “Everyone at SEGA has huge confidence that Sonic is in the safest of hands, and that BioWare can create the ultimate handheld RPG experience for gamers of all ages.”

BioWare is the award-winning independent developer that has created some of the world's best-selling titles including the Baldur's Gate™ and Neverwinter Nights™ series, the 2003 Game of the Year, Star Wars®: Knights of the Old Republic™ and the 2005 RPG of the Year, Jade Empire.™ BioWare is currently developing one of the most anticipated next-generation titles of 2007, Mass Effect.™

“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.

The relationship with BioWare reinforces SEGA’s increased emphasis on Western content development for Western audiences. In the past few years SEGA has announced partnerships with developers Bizarre Creations, Gas Powered Games, Monolith Productions, Obsidian Entertainment, Planet Moon Studios, Pseudo Interactive and Silicon Knights. SEGA has also acquired development studios The Creative Assembly, Secret Level and Sports Interactive.

Dang it, I don't have any good facepalm pictures. I'll just have to hope Valigarmander visits this topic.

We don't need _more_ Sonic games, we need less. Ones which have had more time to be designed by people actually familiar with the series.

Excuse me?!

Wouldn't something like, say, a Phantasy Star for DS be a better idea? Something that made sense?

Exclamation marks and question marks aside, this is a pretty good LOL.

Wow. I was wondering when they'd finally do this. I've hoped since I was like, 4. I loved Sonic and RPGs (though I can't say I understood much about them.)

Well, I'll look forward to this. I've even crafted my own ideas of a Sonic RPG into a file, though it isn't on this computer.

[EDIT] I take back what I said. This will be an interesting feat as Sonic has been known to be rather...fast and actiony which is unlike every game Bioware has ever created.

I actually found a preview for it while searching Youtube.

It's just a mockup of what somebody thought it could be like. It's not real, wvw.
What's the matter, scared?

^No I'm afraid your mistaken. Enemy fights will feature Kiss Music and these are the graphics that Bioware has planned to use for the upcoming Sonic RPG. It will be kick ass.

^ Kiss Music + Sonic?

Oh God, all my hopes.

KISS doesn't fit in with Sonic. Or with most RPGs, either!

^Well considering that that was coming from some one who is an idiot, it's hard to tell if he's serious or not.
