“Got that trailer for the Sonic RPG almost put together. Just needs voiceover.”
"Look, whatever you do, don't say, 'Sonic and his friends.'"
"Why not?"
"Just don't."
Whoever put together this trailer should have heeded that sage advice. If you want people to be interested in your Sonic the Hedgehog game, never, ever mention his shitty friends. Sadly, this first look at Bioware’s take on the much-maligned blue mammalian is over run with them. The trailer runs just over a minute but only fifteen of those seconds provide even a slight look at the actual play. Bioware makes good games, so there’s still hope. However, Bioware also makes sexual relationships a core part of their role-playing experiences. Unless you’re a furry, I’d be very, very concerned.
