Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has Sega's "secret sauce" thanks to the devs combining "the essence" of multiple other "legendary" racing games like OutRun and Initial D

Kohayakawa explains that the Initial D arcade series' driving behavior was "controlled by one programmer who's been doing that same job ever since Sega Rally," and "one of their students oversees the behavior programming for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds."
The creative director continues: "Also, when creating the driving behavior for CrossWorlds, they actually used Sega Rally's game design as a base, not the Initial D arcade series."
On top of that, the Sonic Racing devs turned to OutRun as another reference, specifically when it came to the "satisfying feeling" of drifting in the older Sega racer. Kohayakawa says the CrossWorlds team doesn't strictly think of OutRun as part of their "DNA," as it was instead developed by Sega's AM2 team, but there's still a connection since the dev who oversees CrossWorlds' behavior programming worked with a team which branched off the OutRun studio division. It all makes for a melting pot of influences that led Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds to become ...

SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance is actually managed to get sales few days after release.



Well, it's only 10% OFF for SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance which is just making it the same with the pre-order price.

So... a slight chance then?

I get that. If I was Sonic Team, I'd still be salty about it and rejected it. But the merch and franchise team is different departement afterall.

True. Even though the Olympics let down Sega, the Olympics are still highly marketable.

Well, if it's just movie adapatation alone it'be too few so I doubt they're gonna making a category of it.

I guess so, though seems a tad bit unfair given while TV series may not have as much of a budget as movies, they still have both quantity and quality.

So... a slight chance then?

Yeah. 10% OFF Sale probaly.

On the video games side, the indie games have to fight against AAA games too.
Oh wait, there's an indie category, I think? I forgot.

I doubt it. I'd say CrossWorld is a AA game, maybe 20% off at least.
