Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing role call - Your console?

Trailer for the mobile version of the game, it looks... Playable! Well, pretty good for what it is really.

And apparently the PC version has no online play at all. I think the worst part about this is that the DS release of the game actually DOES! Why would they even bother with a PC release when they could have spent the money on just improving the other releases? Now probably everyone will steal it on that when they might have just bought it on a console.

My God, this game is just so lopsided. I cannot believe some of the stuff that has happened to it. Hopefully they can fix problems like these with patches and updates, or just a sequel... Better yet, why not make different games for the platforms instead of trying so hard to make them all seem so similar but them all coming out incredibly different?

Next dev diary is up.

Looks like battle mode is offline only. LOL@Sharky

I knew there was a reason they weren't talking about it... And only 3 battle maps? This is probably the worst thing I've heard about the game so far.

While I'm still getting the game, that is a serious blow to the 'fun factor'.

I'm really impressed with the mechanics of the game and the levels are nice looking... Beyond that the game has been handled like shit.

-The countless missed opportunities for fan service and inclusion of new IPs that just seem so damn obvious. (ie, weapons...)

-Why so many tracks based on so little IPs?... and some of the choises... Billy Hatcher? Sonic Heroes? nobody likes these games.

-7 sonic characters... really?

- and now the gimped battle mode?

-an yes, While trivial, that bloody long arse name still grinds...

At first I couldn't see why people would say Mario Kart was better, because the mechanics are great, more fun the mario kart... But all the little things add up and I think Sumo/S0L have really dicked us over on this one.

WELL WELL IF I DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER I'D SAY UR NITPICKING!!!!

Haha, ahh seriously though, glad you can see why I dislike this game finally.

offline only battle mode is a shame, although I never played the battle mode on mario kart wii as they ruined it.

as long as the online races are decent, is there any levelling like in racers like motorstorm at all?

[FireKingX]

PS3 demo is up! (At least on the EU store). Will get it after the Yakuza 3 demo.

I don't like that SUMO is advertising 1 version of the game out of 5. Microsoft's money speaks volumes lol.

[crackdude]

I don't like that EVERY SINGLE GAME that has ads here in Portugal only shows the PS versions. It's insane.

Isn't SUMO only showing the 360 versions? Over at the SEGA boards, most are getting it for the 360.

For what the Sumo got, they handled it pretty well, they just could've...gotten more of SEGA and less of Sonic (Team).

Seriously? Does it at least have LAN support? Apparently it has four player splitscreen... and they didn't put in online because it will most likely be illegally downloaded. What.

Also, I plan on getting it for the 360 most likely. But playing the PS3 and 360 demos the PS3 one seems to have to have a noticeably better framerate. I will have to try the 360 one again. Oh, and the 360 and PS3 demo feature different levels. PS3 obviously favors Billy Hatcher. And instead of Bear and Bird you get Eggman.

I have yet to see ads for the game here.. But rule of thumb is game ads only showing up PS versions, not even mentioning other consoles.

[NiGHTS]

I will buy the 360 version and perhaps later the Wii version

[George]

The ads will show the MS version because obviously so me sort of deal involved with Microsoft.

[Sega Uranus]

I think they will have two or three different commercials.

Saturday morning cartoon ads for the Nintendo releases.

PlayStation 3 ads on Bravo and VH1 and sometimes during reruns of Boy Meets World.

Xbox 360 one exclusively plays during James Bond marathons.

[George]

I wish there were always Boy Meets World re-runs.  :cry:

[ribbitking17]

I have only seen wii and DS comercials

Good to see SEGA advertising the worse versions of the game. I assume they use PS3/360 footage for the advert.
