Mr Phillby posted:Its incredibly dumb, Archie wasn't even the first sonic the in comic to have the idea that the echidnas were technologically advanced and them having apparently vanished somewhere leaving only Knuckles behind is baked into the setting. Yeah, Chronicles is one of the few Sonic games where even the music sucks. Hell, they even ended the game on a cliffhanger because they were sure they were going to get a sequel at the time. A lot of the dialogue in the game was fun at least but that’s probably the best thing I can say about it.

What exactly was the legal issue with the music, that they then had to whip up a new soundtrack based on old Sonic tracks that could have also been legally thorny?

We don't know for sure, he probably did remixes or samples of some tracks that sega didn't technically have rights to. Because the composer was the same guy who did all the battle tracks that are still in the game. it's notable that all the midis are from S3&K and later games.

Considering what type of company and games Bioware later ended up making, a sequel not happening to this game was probably a blessing in disguise

I hate that Chronicles basically salted the earth for the idea of a Sonic RPG because Paper Mario but with Sonic could be really fun if it was actually done right.

I agree. It's not like they got it right out of the gate with Mario's first RPG either.

sharrrk posted:i still dont understand why bioware was the dev they chose to make a turnbased rpg It was kind of touched on in the video but Sega wasn't specifically looking for a dev to make a Sonic RPG in the first place, Bioware was kinda just spitballing ideas with Sega since they knew a guy there and they brought up "hey, y'know, we're big Sonic fans..." There's some of the background from an interview with the Bioware guys over here: http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_Chronicles:_The_Dark_Brotherhood/Magazine_articles Halibut Barn fucked around with this message at 07:37 on Jan 13, 2021 |

I just watched it and apparently he's just an avatar. He should be getting voiced lines and such. The same treatment Sonic's getting. Puyo Puyo is like, the one thing that he's got more association to over Sonic.

I've gotta brush up on my Puyo Puyo lore. I find it insane that the entire franchise started out as a mini-game (or spinoff?) in an RPG, then decades later went full circle by having an RPG mode in the last 3DS game before PPT.

sega registered a new patent: similar to dragon quest xi's 3d and 2d mode switch, a setting that lets you change all instances of Eggman to Robotnik and vice versa.
