Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

[Salsashark]

Hey, guys. The only thing wrong with handheld games is that historically 90% of the time developers haven't put very much effort into them because they're cheap and on inferior hardware. Now that the DS has such a huge user base, the hardware is capable, and the home consoles are expensive and kind of up in the air at this point, I think that's starting to slowly change.

The DS is a great system for RPGs, Bioware is Bioware, and I find it hard to believe that most people at this forum don't have a soft spot for Sonic somewhere in their hearts still. It could work!

How are home consoles "up in the air"?

You really think a new 2-d castlevania wouldn't awesome on consoles?

Well, why would people buy 2D games on a console if they could buy 3d games on a console. I mean look at the competition, Devil May Cry and Gods of War vs a new 2D Castlevania?

I wasn't asking if people whould buy it or not, I was asking if he thought it would or wouldn't be better than a handheld game. Which is the whole point, these games gain nothing from being on a handheld, instead of a console.

This is still true.

Now that the DS has such a huge user base, the hardware is capable, and the home consoles are expensive and kind of up in the air at this point, I think that's starting to slowly change.

No, it's really not.

The DS is a great system for RPGs, Bioware is Bioware, and I find it hard to believe that most people at this forum don't have a soft spot for Sonic somewhere in their hearts still. It could work!

If the DS can't run Oblivion, FFXII, or KotOR, it isn't a great system for RPGs. Those are the RPGs for this generation.

The DS is good for Phoenix Wright and Hotel Dusk and stuff like that. That's about it.

But Yoshi, the DS will be getting a form of FFXII .

Sonic has been an embarrassment for years.

that would only continue to fuel his point that it would be better on console or pc.

[Thief Silver]

Sonic is that child that parents want to get rid of when upon any excuse.

well sonic is you I guess.

yeah, I'm pretty sure he was joking.
