New Sonic Chronicles Screenshots

By Jorge Ba-oh 19.02.2008 12

BioWare have revealed more juicy images from the upcoming hand-painted Sonic DS RPG, The Dark Brotherhood.

The game sees Sonic on the hunt for stolen chaos emeralds and his abducted chum, Knuckles, battling his way through turn-based battles and a world devised by the makers of Baldur's Gat and Neverwinter Nights.

Thanks to Official Nintendo Magazine and C3 reader Marzy for the tip.

I've never been a big fan of these types of games, but I think this one looks really interesting. Hopefully Bioware can pull off a good Sonic RPG.

The graphics style looks pretty awesome too. Smilie

It looks some kind of Bioware - I don't know how but it does.
I think the location maps with 'goto-hotspots' does the trick. I so hope Sonic gets a decent RPG - a good one! If Bioware can pull this of, then I'm impressed. Bioware can do this.
But RPGs, even Japanese styled ones, need a good story. That, my dear friends, we only can check when we can buy it.

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

Hmm, I do hope the story is good - not some "Knuckles cocked up...again!" kinda thing.

Looks visually impressive though! Very nice style Smilie

Looking very, very good! The only real question is how it will play and what story are we looking at?

If this can be pulled off then I think Sonic will make a huge comeback.

I have no doubt this will be very good, but that doesn't mean I have to stop worrying about Sonic's future. Smilie It's still very worrying...

This looks good in theory, but as an RPG if there is no plot or some crappy plot as has been the case in recent Sonic games, then this will suck. Hopefully bioware will take care of this detail better than Sonic Team has.
