Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing

VIDEO

YESSSSSSSSSSS awesome.

By the way, that Tokyo stage absolutely looks Jet Set Radio themed. You can make out the famous bus station section in the background at about 28 seconds in.

EDIT: *AND* an incredibly quick drive-by of a graffiti-tagged sign at around :48

Based on the split second it appeared in the video for, I'm going to say that Final Fortress, like Casino Park, won't look exactly like the Heroes stage it's based on. For Casino Park I didn't really care either way, but all of my qualms about Final Fortress being the Eggman-themed stage in the game will immediately disappear if it's been redesigned to look more interesting.

MOAR NEON! MOAR~!

I love you .

BTW, The Banjo level seems to be Terradactyl Land. It doesn't look like it, but its the only dinosaur level I can think of from the series

[Indigo Rush]

That other Sonic level looks more like Eggmanland from Unleashed. Maybe I was looking at it wrong...?

[NinMicroSega]

S0L said there is no Banjo level. That happens to be a Samba de Amigo stage.

[Detective Shadzter]

So is the dinosaur themed stage the Banjo Kazooie track? I'm confused as to where the Banjo Kazooie track is in the trailer if there is one. The dinosaur track looks much like one from Billy Hatcher.

After watching the video and realising I don't have an XBOX 360, this played in my head...

Thanks for the upload thought , the avatar charachters idea is awesome and the stages looks great, I also thought I saw eggmanland, maybe it's like an act 2 or something.

Where did SOL say there will be no Banjo stage? Could you post a quote, please?

[NinMicroSega]

LOL, I like what Sega Uranus@SEGANERDS typed down:

"FUCK YEAH, RIGHT IN YOUR FACE ACTION, ARE YOU READY FOR SOME HARDCORE XBOX 360 SHIT SHOVED RIGHT THE FUCK DOWN YOUR THROAT?! WELL DEAL WITH IT MOTHERFUCKER BECAUSE WE ARE EXTREEEEEMEEE"

[Barry the Nomad]

Btw, I love the Genesis-like Sega intro, with the characters interacting with the logo.

[Indigo Rush]

That should be in the game, actually...! XD

[Marcello]

lol, I didn't notice that, Dr. Eggman. I thought it was because that always happens in Rare games ^^, but cool... I hope they start doing this with more games. And get a new (or the old) guy to say "SEGAAAA"! The new melody sucks :-/

[Blue Blood]

So is the dinosaur themed stage the Banjo Kazooie track? I'm confused as to where the Banjo Kazooie track is in the trailer if there is one. The dinosaur track looks much like one from Billy Hatcher.

I'm pretty sure that it's Billy Hatcher's Dino Mountain too. A preview confirmed that stage a while ago, and this is just the first look we get at it.

[blackherox]

And would that include the wii disk and the PS3 disk? If not... could we get an explanation as to why?

But also, if there is to be no additional character on the other versions, then what was the point in makiing the game multi-format at all.

Is the lack of one additional character really going to have such a devastating impact on the game?

You know perfectly well that people with multiple consoles who want this game will pick up the 360 version over the others for the bonus content. Which then brings into question the obvious counter argument as to projected sales.

That didn't happen with Sonic Unlesahed. I highly doubt the games sales will be affected that significantly.

There could be numerous reasons why this is the case from the fcat that the 360 version of Sea Super Stars Tennis sold the most, to not be able to reach some agreement with the other first parties involved on the respective consoles.

Or there very well may'be some compensation. If not, I still don't see it being that big of a deal.

[Marcello]

Really? Cool. When I saw it I thought it looked like the dinoaur level from Billy Hatcher, but I thought it would only get one level, so I thought it was Banjo's level..

[Detective Shadzter]

I'm pretty sure that it's Billy Hatcher's Dino Mountain too. A preview confirmed that stage a while ago, and this is just the first look we get at it.

Thought so and S0L mentioned Billy Hatcher when discussing tracks in this trailer earlier too.

And for those still blue ball curios -

[Badnik Mechanic]

Is the lack of one additional character really going to have such a devastating impact on the game?

A character, a totally new game mode (the avatars) and a potential track... Yeah it bloody well does have an impact, especially when they're both going to cost the same, I don't take to kindly to being ripped off, especially when theres so far such a huge degree of difference between the versions and nothing to suggest otherwise.

no ones forcing you to buy the game!

Your absolutely right you did not say that, but someone is going to say it, so here is my reply to that. No nobody was forcing me to buy the game, I was going to buy it because it looked like a great title, but now that I know one version is getting far more attention (again, show me the evidence to suggest otherwise) with extra features. I want to know why.

That didn't happen with Sonic Unlesahed. I highly doubt the games sales will be affected that significantly.

The only diference between the PS3 and 360 versions of Unleashed were frame rate and a load screen... are you seriously saying this is the same as an additional character, track and game mode?

[Detective Shadzter]

Anyone know what the star shaped weapon with ribbons is that gets fired from an opponent in the rear distance at Amy in the trailer? -

[gato]

So... reading the sega forums, S0L (and sumorex) said that banjoo and the avatar are NOT going to waste one of the 20 slots that could (and will) belong to a sega characther, theese 2 are just extras...

They are also teasing us about possible exclusives for the other consoles (prays for the age of empires priest in the PC version, that or Lester and Sarge from starcraft )

But I wouldn't hold much stock into that

EDIT:

Maybe he is talking about the PS360 vs WiiS2 version...

And that blue sphere certainly looks like a sonic inflatable dollm it's even spindashing.

Maybe Sony should have played nice with the Dreamcast. This is what they get!

I knew the Dreamcast Windows CE OS would lead to good things.

[azoo]

That announcer better the announcer in the whole game. If he is, then that's just plain awesome!

Banjo FTW. Him and Sonic are going to be my main characters to play as. Although, doesn't his colors look a little desaturated compared to normal in that video? Or is it just the stage's lighting that makes him look that way?

And knowing Sega was the (obvious) creators of Sega Rally, if that Game Over jingle isn't the game over tune, then I'll cause a riot. >:/

I really do hope that this is the case, I just can't understand it if it's not and the reason is that they couldn't find any, Sony have lately been swapping characters in and out of a games a lot lately (both retail and PSN), Nintendo also have a good history of doing this, Brawl is the obvious example... But I'm sure someone who knows their nintendo history can quote something else.

Maybe Sony should have played nice with the Dreamcast. This is what they get!

Just google "Dreamcast games on PSN" the results should make you grin.

[Marcello]

Isn't there DLC on the 360 version of Unleashed that wasn't released for the PS3?

[Detective Shadzter]

Isn't there DLC on the 360 version of Unleashed that wasn't released for the PS3?

In Europe yes but everywhere else was treated equally. SEGA Europe only released 4 pieces of the DLC on the European PSN whereas the Xbox 360 got all pieces of DLC in Europe.

[Octarine]

I don't really see what about the avatars constitutes a "new game mode". Wouldn't that just count as an extra (albeit customizable) character?

It's a pity about no other consoles getting exclusives, but I don't mind so much. I was planning on getting the DS version anyway, and the chances of that getting exclusives were pretty low.

They are also teasing us about possible exclusives for the other consoles (prays for the age of empires priest in the PC version, that or Lester and Sarge from starcraft )

Oh god, best exclusives ever. I was thinking Jim Raynor on his Vulture, but Lester and Sarge would kick him totally out of the water. 'Course, I wouldn't argue with Kane from C&C either. PEACE RACE THROUGH POWER!
