I am actually posting... about Sonic?

What's even funnier is that Sonic was already a category? haha. So yes, a new Sonic game is in the works and well when it's Bioware and RPG, well just about nothing can go wrong. One of the most interesting and appealing things to me in this type of game is the artwork, since sonic has sucked since basically the 2d era this is very important. Bioware is going for this cartoonish/watercolour style artwork. I am not sure how far away there going to be from something like Zelda:Wind Waker steez but I assume they will go in there own direction.

Hit the jump for the sloppy details :P

-Bits of story - Sonic's on vacation from defeating Eggman 2 years ago. Gets a call from Tails that Knuckles has been kidnapped by a group called the Marauders, and that 6 chaos emeralds are missing. Eggman not the main villain. But Bioware wants to make him a creditable bad guy again. Something about a "twist" between Eggman and Sonic that goes back to the earlier games.
