Sonic Transformed iOS CONFIRMED (For December)

[DaN]

What a pleasant surprise

 

Tim Spencer, aka SumoSpartan, posted something on his Facebook

 

So, SART for iOS got announced today!

"Transformed on iOS will feature a brand new World Tour mode designed for gaming on the go, and will include multiplayer both locally and online for up to 4 players. I tried out an early version of Transformed on the iPad and it seems right in line with 2011's iOS release in terms of handling and feel. A boost in visuals and a huge cast of Sega characters should make this latest iteration another great mobile kart racer, so be on the lookout for Transformed to hit the App Store this December."

You have no idea how long I've waited for this since Febuary. It is good that they haven't forgotten the iOS

[Detective Shadzter]

Found the press release. Android confirmed.

Just a warning, but if you have an iPod Touch 4G or iPhone 4, it's probably not going to run very well if it does at all.

Found the press release. Android confirmed.

Ah, it's so nice to see that us Android users are going to get some more Sonic racing love, too. I simply can't wait to see if this will be faithful to the console versions.

[Willsy]

How well is it going to run on iPad mini?

[Badnik Mechanic]

I found the fact sheet for the game on the Sega Press Vault.

 

It has a few very interesting notes....

WHAT THE CRITICS SAID ABOUT THE CONSOLE VERSION

Eurogamer

“Fun, challenging and easily enjoyable” 8.7/10

Gametrailers

“The metamorphosis of the kart racer” 8.6/10

IGN

“Fast, fun and easy to get into” 8.5/10

Gamespot

 

So Facebook connectivity = your friends faces on the tracks.

 

Daily & Weekly challenges...

 

Then theres this...

 

Race as 10 legendary racers at launch each with their own unique transformable vehicle. Plus many more All-Stars coming soon!

 

The console versions all start with 10 racers (excluding Alex Kidd & Metal Sonic), Every other character is included in the game and is unlocked via 'stars' exceptions are the PC exclusives.

 

So... what are these 'many more all-stars?' The PC ones? Well... I would agree with that but... can you play any of the games in which the PC characters represent on the iOS/android systems? Maybe football manager but.. can't think of any others?

 

If the PC characters end up on the mobile devices... why not the consoles too?

[Jolt_TH]

Unless they are planning some iOS characters? I dunno what they'd be, but it would make sense considering their approach of character choices

[Blue Blood]

With ASR iOS, the game started with a very limited cast, and more were added through updates. On top of that, the criteria for unlocking characters was ridiculous, meaning you would spend absolutely ages just to get one. It was to encourage you to instead buy them via microtrasactions. I'd expect all the same to apply here if it's as successful as ASR was.

[The Ao erizo]

I'm hoping for two main things: 1) At least half of the extra characters released for PC, and 2) The capability to play it on one's HDTV via HDMI adapter!!!! That feature I haven't tried yet (lack of money for said adapter), so if anyone's tried it for the original ASR please let me know! 

 

Must.....play...as Blaze...........they must....Have....BLAZE!!!!!!!!! (fanboy rant, lol)

[Kaze no Klonoa]

I would absolutely love to have some iOS characters to appear as iOS exclusives. Om Nom, anyone?

Android version out now, but no sign of the iOS version strangely enough. Mind you, the iTunes Store staff are in holiday, so it'll probably be on the 27th for us.

EDIT: Trailer was just removed, probably was a leak. Might not be out yet after all.

Another EDIT: it's not out on Google Play, it was obviously a leak then. Can't see it coming out before the iOS version though.

[DaN]

let's hope it'll be out soon then

[Ultimate Waffle]

Eh? Apparently Sonic's All Star is Super Sonic again. Didn't they change that for Transformed?

Where did you see that? As far as I know, this is a port of the 3DS version. That, and the game isn't out, the Android trailer was taken down due to it being a leak.

[Badnik Mechanic]

Wait what? Where are people getting this information from?

 

e.g.

 

It's a port of the 3DS version?

 

Sonic's All Star is Super Sonic?

[Willsy]

Or maybe it's a port of the Vita version? I completely forgot that version exists. The textures look very similar to the handheld versions, and the models look sort of similar to Vita. I'm just going by what they did with S&SASR where they ported the DS version.

Yeh yeh. I was getting false information. Proceed with your discussion of nothing everybody.

It's neither, the game is it's own version, or at least that's the impression I get based on what S0L has said.

[EmmBee]

So did anyone download that? I'd like to see the trailer.

[Willsy]

I'm beginning to think that it will be out on iOS tomorrow, of whenever the App Store staff holiday ends.

[Dr. Dipshit]

Coming straight from Sega's facebook, the iOS and Android versions of ASRT are out tomorrow.

 

[Willsy]

YEEEEES!!!

And what's this? Mobile exclusive Ryo? Mwhahaha!

[Thigolf]

We've seen him on PC, he's not exclusive.

[Willsy]

I'm hoping that it'll run on my iPad Mini (the 2012 one). How much space do you guys think it will take up?
