It finally happened... A Sonic RPG?

This could be a good game, but the very nature of RPGs is at odds with Sonic's original basic function. Go play Sonic on the Genesis and tell me you think that game makes you think "hey, this should be a RPG!"

They've also got a Sonic game coming sometime in the future with apparent heavy sword-based gameplay. It's called Sonic and the Black Knight.

And their Sonic Unleashed, despite going back to the "omfg go fastttttttttttt" method that worked on the Genesis, is also apparently half based around bullshit werewolf-transformed Sonic that is NOTHING like the classic Sonic games of the Genesis era.

I think the problem with Sonic IS the fast pace.
With Mario going 3-D was not as hard since Mario focuses on Jump length and exploration as a 2-D Platformer- it did pretty well for 3-D.
..
But with Sonic- The 2-D was about SPEED and seeing ahead on your screen and modifying your one jump to time it.
I mean Sure I can move fast in 3-D but whatelse?
Sonic really just needs something more to make it better than a Gunless FPS.
...
And SO FAR in MY opinion he has yet to do anything decent since 3-D.
Mario 64 And Mario Galaxies are just brilliant though. (I like Sunshine too- Just not for the Mario aspect)
....
As for a Sonic RPG- if it wants to rival Mario RPG (which I doubt) it will have to bring some cool stuff to teh RPG table - Timed attacks+++
