The lack of Team Sonic Racing hype doesn’t bother me because Sega needs to give Sonic a long break anyway
Not much hype with Team Sonic Racing because it’s missing all the other SEGA stuff, I know they said they wanted to just have Sonic the central focus this time, but they had a good thing going with the whole Sega brand, and with each installment they’ve gradually dropped it and made it more about just Sonic again. Would have been great if they kept it all about all Sega stuff, not just Sonic, and expanded it further with other Sega IP like Yakuza, Valkyria Chronicles and Bayonetta ect along with some older IP that didn’t make it in the last two like Ristar, Vectorman, Bonanza Bros, Streets of Rage, Daytona USA, Scud Race, Wild Riders, Sega Rally, Dynamite Dux ect ect ect ect, there’s so much material they could have used. Hopefully it’s still decent.
I think it would be fun playing with an all Sonic cast!
I’m not that excited about Sonic Racing for the same reason Hitrax stated. I liked the first two games for the other characters and the other tracks besides the Sonic cast. The long lost SEGA IP’s gets me excited. Sonic has been overused.
I’m really looking forward to this, the Sumo Digital sega racing games have never click with me, because there was no story behind it, the characters we’re just there, no character interaction, no world building, just a bunch of racing adjective, it’s basic and not that engaging to me, but for this game Sumo making world, and i’m interest in seeing what they do.
