First @ TSSZ: Eggman Confirmed as Playable in Chronicles

In a case of ‘blink or you’ll miss it’ Dr Eggman has been spotted as a playable character in Sonic Chronicles. Recently on the Chronicles website some mini games have been added. Complete the minigames in the time allowed and you’re treated to some exclusive gameplay footage.

Cast your eye on this YouTube Video. Among other things it shows Sonic and the gang at a construction site, Tails and Rouge flying over a bridge to press separate buttons which lower a bridge and Amy raising some stairs. It’s this last part you need to watch carefully as the rest of the party jump over a gap to the bottom of the stairs. Like I said earlier, blink and you’ll miss it but a member of the party appears to be Dr Eggman!

Old bullfuck. Bring back my FREAKING G-MEL, BIOWARE!!!!!!

Eggman is one of my favorite characters but it really disappoint me that he must be playable,at least it is better than Silver,G-mel,Marine and Jet.
i can just hope Bioware pulls out some big suprise with all this.
Whats good though is that Sonic isn’t there,just Tails,Amy,Big and Eggman which hints that Sonic can be swapped out after all.Sonic is my most favorite character of course but its not fun to have him in the team all the time.

Eggman’s one of my top 10 characters. (I like villainous types like Team Dark for some reason.) But I don’t think he’d be good as a character unless they gave him new abilities. Although it would be cool to actually play as one of his inventions like the Egg Viper.

It’s been pretty clear Bioware want to establish some new bad guys in the Sonic universe so if Eggman can’t be the villain I think it’s a great idea for him to help out the heroes wipe out the competition. It’s not unlike Eggman at all as he seems to help the heroes defeat the various monsters in recent Sonic games because he can no longer control them. I can see Eggman using a verity of contraptions to attack enemies with. It’s also not unlike Eggman to get his hands dirty either. He’s one of the only mad doctors in games who seems to take pride in the old saying “if you want something done well, do it yourself.”

@ Fairfieldfencer: You know the franchise has too many characters when you can say with a straight face that someone’s your “top-10” character.
The fun part is, there’s probably enough characters left to form a “top-10 least favourite” after that. c_c
I like the idea of Eggman in there though. Bowser worked well enough as a playable in the Mario RPG’s, after all. Gives the group a little more dynamic. =)

Having Eggman not be the main villain = lose.

Bioware has said earlier that while Eggman won’t be the main villain he will be “more credible bad guy again”, so I’m guessing he’s going to be playable only at certain point of the game.
Interesting, though…

@ Paul Street: Well, Eggman did help out like in Sonic Adventure 2, Heroes, Shadow, Sonic Advance 3, Next-Gen, and Rivals 2.

He kinda did in Adventure, Rivals, and Secret Rings, too. It’s getting very repetitive, and I’m looking foward to see Eggman as the only villian again, someday. I mean, I love Metal, Johnny, Mephiles, Nega, etc. but, It’s getting boring…

Yes, I would guess Dr. Eggman will be the very first man bad guy of the storyline. I could see it go down similarly to how you battle Magus in Chrono Trigger, who soon joins your party after (depending on how the battle went down). This will be very interesting to see how this turns out, but I don’t think Eggman not being the main villain will be a negative in Sonic Chronicles, it could add to the gameplay.
