All-Stars Racing Transformed: The Racer Roster Thread

[Djawed]

The model had a BIG makeover

She has a completely new face/head. And this time I think she's *much* prettier, and way less "jarring".

Why though? What is it that annoys you so much? I'm interested to hear. (Honestly)

Try to be constructive in your critisism, rather than emotive and it will be much easier to reply to.

I think i've calmed down a little bit and realized that the full package is definitely worth the money (crossing fingers for DLC, as you may have seen my replies over at the sega boards). But come on, it goes without saying that a sequel will raise expectations. So with that in mind people are gonna expect more. But even if that wasn't the case, at least having it on par with the previous game would have felt more apropriate/acceptable. But with all the secondaries(some being way too similar to the mains) and absence of highly requested/anticipated IP's in their place, it just feels like you guys were way too easy with the character selection and it is a step back imo

I feel like it's obvious and I don't have to explain this. A part of me thinks that the decision was a conscious one for future plans, but I may be wrong.

Game is so cheap because is still incomplete... in a few weeks we will see a lots of DLC, one for each important character (Alex Kidd, Ryo Hazuki, Opa Opa, Bonanza Bros...)

Rooster is a sick... they are only characters clones (secondary characters).

In Europe we all say the same because we hate some characters as Danika and we don't understand why the game hasn't important characters as the first game and it has sicks as Danika or Ralph instead of SEGA CHARACTERS.

Maybe the game sells well, in fact, i don't cancel my pre order but the consecuencies on SEGA fans maybe do that we don't expect so enthusiastic future SEGA games.

Talk for yourself please.

I'm disappointed for other reasons i've explained in the other thread, but i will not make a jihad because of that: be grateful instead that people like Sumo staff can have money for making such games and you are able to use internet to comunicate with them with this economic crysis out there.

As i always say in this cases: you don't see many greek people complaining about stuff in this game, don't you?

Greek people has all fault that all is happining in Europe. They lie with the money because they trusted on the socialist. For their fault Italy and Spain have problems so I don't mind Greek people, they wouldn't be european people as all. For lucky, you, italian people has Mario Monti and ours Spanish people, Mariano Rajoy, they will resolve all our problems.

By the way, you and me can argue here about the poor Roster of this expecting game.

Unexciting shit is not a spoiler. I could see if it consisted of Gunstar Heroes characters or Astal, but who the fuck can get excited for

a random thing that transforms into SEGA hardware, or 3 non-SEGA characters that actually only take up one spot and are exclusive to the PC version?

Just put the shit in a fucking spoiler tag for those who haven't seen it. Christ.

It may be unexciting to you perhaps. But to others, they might be quite surprised. In a good way. So you might want to think about others and not act as if what you say is all high and mighty.

And yes it still is a spoiler. Be it good or not.

I have yet to read any sort of positivity towards these character choices.

[sonfan1984]

^ You probably haven't been here long enough to witness it then.

[KHCast]

Really? Maybe cause not a lot of people are spoiling themselves?Or your not looking everywhere and don't know what everyone thinks? And again, get off your high horse please.

[Wraith]

I have yet to read any sort of positivity towards these character choices.

1. Then where the hell have you been?

2. Stop being a high and mighty douche and just spoiler tag it already. It isn't that fucking hard.

hahaha

I don't know about the

Sega-Bot

but I, a few people here, and quite a few people on other forums I visited are quite happy with the

TF2 Gang

Also, I used spoiler tags because I don't want people to think I am a douche.

[Barry the Nomad]

BIG update to the first page post. Updated the racer roster to include everything we've heard and/or seen. As such, marked it as a spoiler.

Also, I've started up a cameo roster image. This will only include unique named characters. No enemies who appear in multiples (Crows, badniks) or NPCs who appear in multiples (Chao). Again, this is spoiler tagged. If you have cameos you want to be added, post 'em here and I'll add them to the list. I know I need to add

Segata Sanshiro, assuming he appears in the game, and the NiGHTS bosses as well as Billy Hatcher's friends who litter his track. Unsure if we see unique GG's or Burning Rangers characters

[Agent York]

I have a few cameos I've spotted so far that definitely should be added (cameo spoilers):

As we were discussing in the spoiler thread:

-Wizeman (NiGHTS into Dreams) appears in the last lap of the NiGHTS course and has spoken dialogue, should definitely be added.

-Chris Parton (Burning Rangers) is the character who is talking to you over radio who navigates you on what is going on, just like her role in Burning Rangers.

-Gillwing (NiGHTS into Dreams boss) makes an appearance flying around the first nightmare world in the NiGHTS course.

-Puffy (NiGHTS into Dream boss) makes an appearance bouncing around the second nightmare world in the NiGHTS course.

-Rolly Roll, Chick Poacher, and Bantam Scrambled (Billy Hatcher) all make appearances near the beginning of the Billy Hatcher course.

-Aero Chasers (Sonic the Hedgehog). Normally I wouldn't count enemies, but these guys from Sonic Colors (and Unleashed, and Generations) actually play a pretty cool and integral part of the stage by doing exactly what they do in the games.

-Shou Amabane and Tillis (Burning Rangers) can be seen at the very beginning of the Burning Rangers course, and throughout it as they start boosting ahead at the very beginning of the race and appear multiple times throughout it all.

-From House of the Dead, a few big baddies appear. The ones I recognize are Death, Lovers, Hangedman, and Tower.

Those are what I can think of and recognize off the top.

[Barry the Nomad]

Thanks! Made the additions and changes!

[Candescence]

... Well, it seems I have a reason to get the Steam version now. Goddamn it, Valve and Sega, you crafty bastards.

[MykonosFan]

You might want to spoil that...

EDIT: Despoil? Spoilen? Spoiler Tag

I just got the game six hours ago. I've been blasting through World Tour on hard mode to get as many stars as I can. Definitely tricky stuff, I only just got to chapter 3 because of all my dedication.

[Double Agent Motobug]

OMG GUYS

I found it!!! The cameo we've been waiting for!

SEGATA SANSHIRO!

He appears in the last lap of Race of AGES if you're in first place, for a SPLIT second. Had to pause for these shots... D; Sorry bout the quality...

AND YES THAT IS A SEGA SATURN STRAPPED TO HIS BACK! >=D

EDIT: Also, I set a new world record on that track apparently, according to the voice over guy and the leaderboards. o_O Though only me and some other fella have played it supposedly.

EDIT EDIT:

Right, other cameos in that stage:

-Ryo

-Jackie

-Akira

-Chu Chus (the 4 from ASR)

-Opa Opa (2 of him o_O)

-The Bonanza Bros

-Some huge green caterpillar thing that looked like a badnik kinda.

-Megadrive (yep, I didn't see "Genesis" printed on it. Might be wrong though.)

-Master System

-Game Gear

-Saturn

-Various arcade units for ASR: (T?)

-Dreamcast

-Dreamcast Controller

-Various ride-on arcade games.

Also, Zobiko and Zobio's names appear as graffiti in the Curien Mansion Stage, with <3's under 'em, if I saw that correctly, haha

EDIT EDIT EDIT: Also yes, in Graffiti City, I'm fairly sure I saw "Soda" from the original JSR dancing. XD

Edited November 15, 2012 by Dr.Zoidberg

[Barry the Nomad]

Thanks Zoidy!

Very happy to hear that Opa Opa cameos. In the videos I saw of Race of Ages, I never spotted him. Then again, I only saw videos in which the players go to the right, nobody was taking any of the left paths. Is that where he is?

As such, I'll update my first post.

Can anybody confirm if Billy cameos in his track or not? Also, that green caterpillar thing... wonder what it is?

[TheAnvil]

Wow this has to be one of the worst rosters ever put into a video game. I'm sure the game is fun but Jesus christ. I'm kinda REALLY regretting pre-ordering this now.
