Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed disscussion

[Barry the Nomad]

Dude, you're lucky to not be banned after your little image insult from a few weeks back. I had to clean up your little porn insult mess in the middle of a busy work day. I do SEGAbits stuff in my free time, and I don't like when people waste my free time. You were on thin ice as it is, and pointless topics like "if u date a hot chick and she see ur sega collection what u do?" don't help. Topics like that just junk up the forums.

Any more discussion on this can be kept to private messages, or we can just drop the conversation here.

dont play sergeant to a soldier. im being lucky to be a part of this life living. one issue does not have to do with another. basically what im saying is if i open weird topics. well at least they seem weird to u. then at least give them a chance to bloom. if they dont like it it will vanish out of itself you know.

that image yeah i understand. and i told u i did. a bit of a pitty bringing that up again dont ye think.

with all respect you should give them a chance. im a member of other sega forums including the official one. and ill give you credit to be amongst the better ones. but dont you think its wrong to keep topics that you like? just because of u. the sega fan base is wider then just sonic or just sor1 2 3. its a worldwide fan base.
and we all have our crazyness. i might be a select person to u. however u should give everyone his topic. as long as they dont contain pornographic or are innapropriate then for the rest u should leave them.

im sorry barry your cool. but for this time be fair and on neutral ground. for you i might be select for others normal. this is the world wide web.

[spoiler]Is anybody happy that Shogun and Team Fortress 2 is in the game?

I don't mind it myself, as I pretty much gave up on the roster way before everyone else....but I have to say one thing since it's bugging me....

Why did they choose Shogun/FM/TF2 over other SEGA franchises? Is it because they are British Developers, therefore easy to obtain? or is it because they will appeal to a wider audience?

Shogun I can live with actually, I did like what I played of TW:S2 so I can't complain about that one as much...but Team Fortress 2 annoys me since they seem to get many Steam cameos anyway...and since FM sounds like it's going to be real...I have to facepalm a little by it...and I do watch football and do find FM interesting as a game itself....but seriously....A football manager? That makes little to no sense and to me...it's a waste of a character slot (I know Sumo will say that they are extras or something, but the decision is very strange to me).

Anyway, glad Alex Kidd is in...but why is he not available or why is he going to be DLC? Are they taking advantage of how popular he is in the UK or something? He should have been one of the unlockables in my opinon.

I am happy with the tracks...but I can't believe that 3 of the character slots are made up of characters SEGA fans may not have wanted despite being a fan of the games....this kind of makes me disappointed since you have Binary Domain, Rhythm Thief and Valkyria Chronicles that could have taken up those slots (perhaps even Yakuza) but they decided to put in 2 SEGA franchises that don't seem to fit in racing (well...Shogun seems cool...but it's not what I expected) and one Valve character(s?) which are likely the PC Exclusive.[/spoiler]

I spoiler tagged out of respect for CrazyTails.

Spoiler alert:

[spoiler]Football Manager is hilarious! His face is hidden behind a helmet. Swanky car too.

Aki? What do you think? Personally, I think it's hilarious... in a good way! Like how Pepsi Man was a crazy addition in Fighting Vipers, or the Daytona car in Megamix.

[crackdude]

To fans complaining that the roster misses this or that character: they will never ever include everyone, it's near impossible (unfortunately). I'd love to see a ToeJam & Earl car too, but there's plenty to love nevertheless


All this looks freaking amazing.


I also saw some guy on youtube using a leftover from the beta: a walking thing from Golden Axe that Guilus was initially supposed to ride


But it has no animations.. Weird.

[Barry the Nomad]

@Crackdude, I think that beta asset existed as early as the first game. Maybe it's an in joke for the devs, or their default test vehicle?

[Randroid]

Got the game. Awesome as all hell.

But like others here, a bit disappointed in the racer roster.

It's funny. The first game had an awesome roster, but lacklustre tracks/soundtrack, where it seems to be the complete reverse this game around. Oh well, nothing DLC can't fix. 

and that Golden Axe track (with remixed soundtrack), just godly!

[SEGA RedWolf]

The roster so far for me is All Star Tennis all over again, with added newbies. ^^ It's not all that bad. The tracks make up for it.

[Kori-Maru]

Has anyone checked this out yet?

I've voted for Sakura Shinguji and Vectorman. This game does need a Saturn and a Genesis rep.

[Barry the Nomad]

So Target is carrying the game now, in the US! One Target near me would sell it if they had it, but its not in stock yet. Another Target has a dozen, so I'll be hitting it up tonight.

[batfax]

I'm really hoping that Alis succeeds in that poll. Looks like she's on shaky ground for the top three though. =\

[Radrappy]

reviews are starting to trickle in,

here's one from IGN

http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/11/15/sonic-and-all-stars-racing-transformed-review

86/100 not too shabby so far!

edit:

Oh and apparently a 62% from ONM  boo!

I definitely would see the funny side in both if it were not for the actual cast which in my opinion is still very poor and reflects badly on SEGA's legacy, a more balanced roster could have been create but alas...

To fans complaining that the roster misses this or that character: they will never ever include everyone, it's near impossible (unfortunately). I'd love to see a ToeJam & Earl car too, but there's plenty to love nevertheless

They might not include everyone... But that gives no reason to justify the likes of Pudding or MeeMee amongst other characters.
