Bioware have released the first trailer from the upcoming Sonic RPG, The Dark Brotherhood.

The blue wonder makes a welcome return to the handheld world, this time in the guise of a a team-driven turned based fighter with all the old favourites: from Sonic himself to Knuckles, Amy to Tails. Eggman's plans are thwarted by a mysterious new force set to bring sonic into a world of darkness...

We've seen snippets of gameplay and several screens, but finally Sega have released a comic-book inspired funky new trailer courtesy to IGN:

Cheesy trailer, but it's looking really good.

Were those the animated cut-scenes in question? They look like their Sonic X counterparts though...

That narrator.. that voice... is overused... that guy must be flippin rich! He only use to be in the movie business.. it seems now he has moved to gaming aswell!!

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

Yea Metal Gear and Sonic. What great voice over technology Smilie

In a weird kinda way i want that now...

I need to see more gameplay footage. I'm still on the fence about this one.

I actually thought that looked pretty ridiculous. The subtitle is really generic, too. I bet I could find like a million books and/or films and/or games with 'Dark Brotherhood' within their titles or content.

So they think the "most thrilling adventure in the history of Sonic" isn't made by Sega but BioWare?

=/

Depends what you call adventure really.
Most of them were just platform games, story hardly came into it. (even Sonic Adventure). To me "adventure" kinda means more then platform antics, no matter how good those antics are.
You can be sure Bioware put some effort into some story here.

That said, Secret Rings had some lovely styled cut-scenes. Id have liked them to use that style again.
