Shit, Bioware's here in Edmonton, too. I should stop by and see if they need any voice talent.

I'm rather shocked, but if Sega's not making it, it could be awesome.

I'm curious the character set. Unfortunately, it'll probably be the current Sonic canon, which is too bad. If it was set in the SatAM universe, it'd be guaranteed to be awesome.

The reason I'm worried is that the current Sonic universe has very little in the form of supporting characters that are decent. Big the Cat, Amy Rose, Shadow, Rouge, Cream & Cheese, and every other supporting character are either annoying (Amy), one-dimensional, both (Big the Cat), or nameless (ALL the humans who pretty much just go by titles, like Mr. President),.

Sonic Adventure 2

I actually liked Sonic Adventure 2. But I can see why people wouldn't; the Tails/Eggman levels were slow and the Emerald Search levels were painful.

The Sonic/Shadow levels had tons and tons of replayability though.

Sadly, this was the peak of 3D Sonic

I wouldn't worry too much about the character set. If they decide that the characters already present aren't suitable, they'll just create some new ones, I'm sure, since Sonic Team creates new characters so damn often as it is.

I do, however, completely agree that the SatAM-verse is much more suited to an RPG.

Honestly, I think a general Platformer MMO (But I was thinking more along the lines of the Jak/Ratchet & Clank style) would be a lot of fun.
