Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed disscussion

[Aki-at]

Wow Kori you look damn awesome there!

[Pao]

Indeed he does!

Also, What are your thoughts on the Air/Water sections, Kori? (I assume you played the game)

[Kori-Maru]

I haven't touched the game yet lol but judging from the videos the air and water sections are pretty cool. A lot like afterburner and Waverunner. A Wing War type multiplayer mode would fit perfectly for this game.

I'll be in San Diego by Friday for the Sonic Boom event. Gonna make the crowd scream when I show them what I had in stored for my Shinobi cosplay. Then, I'll play some of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and share my thoughts on the game.

Man, I saw the new Comic-Con Trailer that SEGA out. I noticed that they kinda reused Vyse's VA lines from the game and considering that the game had next to no spoken dialogue, it's pretty darn impressive.

Had a great time at Sonic Boom. Meet tons of Sega and Sumo employees everywhere. I got to try out Transformed. It's a bit like All-Stars Racing but has some Afterburner/Wing War and Waverunner feeling to it. I've tried out Joe first since he's one of my favorite characters that made it to the game, he's great but his turns are pretty bad. Though is is pretty great when it comes to water sections. Next, I've tried out Vyse in Death Adder's Layer. He's a very balanced character and pretty good with air sections.

Then I went to try out the cosplay contest... I was filled with confidence but Shinobi had little love and lost. I'm kinda worried about that. Not only Shinobi but other Sega franchises as well.

And another thing, pretty sweet seeing Shinobi having a heart attack in the race lol.

^Shame that character popularity won the contest and not how well made the cosplay was becuase your Shinobi was probably the best I saw.

[Kori-Maru]

Yeah, just only a few lucky folks knew who I was. However, I have good news. I've spotted this on the title screen. http://t.co/OZLQAkd2

Met a lot of Sega employees including TRiPPY from NiD.com. We had a blast talking about the Sega Saturn and Sakura Taisen. I just had to show her what Sakura was capable of if she was in Transformed. Plus I took a couple of pictures with other employees. So I did this with this cute and beautiful woman.

The more I see your costume, the more I am baffled you didn't win a thing. Let me guess, the winner was Sonic related right?

And "w00t!" at Shinobi stages, but would that mean that we could expect a Crazy Taxi and Skies of Arcadia stage too? All playable characters in the game have so far have had their own stages and a Skies stage would be pretty rad!

[Kori-Maru]

Yeah Mecha Sonic from 3 won first, Japanese Eggman second and baby Tails was third. S0L was the only judge who voted me. The contest rule did say you can cosplay as a Sega character. I hope there's more variety next year.

Anyway, the game was great and Aliens wasn't bad either. Shot some aliens with my trusty boomstick. The lady you've seen me picked up was very good at the game. So beautiful... if only I knew her name.

[Kori-Maru]

Anyway back to the Shinobi track, it might be the Oboro Village from Shinobi 3DS combined with the cavern from Shinobi 3 and the 3DS.

See for yourself

If it's true that there's one more guest character to be revealed, is it possible that they'll release a trailer showing all 3 guest characters where we finally see footage of Danica, Ralph, and whoever that final guest is?

[Kori-Maru]

It'll probably be funny if it was Mario for the Wii U version, then again maybe not.

I did get the chance to meet S0L in person and he's really a tall gent. I kinda miss having him around these forums.
