oh but that song is a duet...mmm right. But Luka or any of the engloids (aka english Vocaloids) would do better than Miku since they have english voicebanks. But engrish is fine too

[Lukar]

As much as I hate her music, Hatsune Miku would be an awesome character to play as. It'd make much more sense than having Danica Patrick in the game, if you ask me.

Also, a bit off-topic, but if anyone's interested, Steam has the first game for 75% off today. I think I'll get it, seeing as how I've been meaning to play the first game for years now.

I found the PC versions to have some issues with me, plus the lack of online or the DLC sorta lessens the whole package. But getting it with 75% off to get the feel of the game and to play against CPU isn't that bad.

I hope this new one comes to PC with proper online support and everything, I'd totally get it if it was on Steam.

What sorts of issues did you have? Online and DLC don't bug me that much, though I do wish the game had them.

Well for me it was mostly framerate issues, the framerate for me was pretty low which kinda matters in a fast paced racing game, although I got my copy elsewhere (Not Steam) so it's possible they patched it out.

Check the refresh rate on the video card settings. If the resolution runs lower than 50-60hz, then you should change the resolution to one that supports either of the two.

My problem with the PC version is that my video card causes the game to freeze every time it needs to redraw the shadows. If I play splitscreen, the game will redraw shadows when a player reaches a certain zone, for each player playing. Splitscreen is actually poorly implemented into Sega All Stars Racing 1, I really hope they have a little more going for the splitscreen mode.

Stop using Intel GMA then.

More related to the first game, but the iOS version has been updated yet again. This time they added Ulala as well as 3 courses, Monkey Target, Ocean Ruin, and Bingo Party, and they added a new cup which holds all the new courses (Monkey Cup)

I'm really shocked how they're still updating this thing.

[Bartman3010]

I'm surprised there's no Android version of that thing. Aren't they just filtering content from the DS version to the iOS version?

Is that what they're doing? I never played the DS version so I wouldn't know.

Hey uh, this is strange but somehow I got the iOS version for free off itunes the other day, I'm not sure if it was just a demo or something but it seems like the full game to me.

It's the full game. Sega made the game free for a while after Danica Patrick announced that she would be in All-Stars Racing Transformed during E3, then they made it $2.99 again, and now it's back at being free to celebrate Sonic's 21st Birthday.

Ah, I see, thanks for telling me! I thought my itunes had broke or something.

Aww, it's showing up as a 1.99 for me when I check the Appstore on my computer. I have no idea where I stored my iDevice. ;/

We have an opportunity for people interested in voluntary work experience at Sumo Digital.

During July & August 2012, we will be running an open game balancing team at the studio.

This involves people joining us for up to 3 weeks at a time, sitting and playing the game through like a normal user would, and we gather data as you go, retune areas, provide a new build, play through again, play multiplayer, play different game modes etc. There would be the opportunity to provide feedback and help to shape the game experience. You would also meet with people from various disciplines, learn how a game is made from the inside and generally expand your knowledge hugely.

The majority of the time would be spent on the balancing team, but we'd try and mix it up, and you'd definitely learn a lot about how things are done here on a day-to-day basis and have the opportunity to ask lots of questions!

We believe this is a great opportunity for people interested in joining the games industry to see how things are done on the inside, to help shape and improve a game, and to build their skillset to improve their chances of future employment within the games industry.

The opportunity is only available to people who live within the North of England and can travel to Sheffield each day, or have accommodation available in the area. We will be able to reimburse travel expenses that we consider reasonable, I.e. that private jet each day from Sweden is probably pushing it bit too far.

We will run an initial trial period of one week where we assess your suitability, and where you get to decide whether you're enjoying it!

At the end of that week, assuming everything is going well, we will confirm extension for next two weeks.

For any interested applicants:

1. Are you available around these times?
•Slot 1: 2nd July > 20th July
•Slot 2: 23rd July > 10th August

2. The times required each day are 11am > 6pm, with an hour for lunch between 1 & 2pm.

If you have any questions, or are only available for part of the periods mentioned, or would like to be considered for future balancing team opportunities please feel free to contact us.

Applications should be sent to [email protected]

I assume its for S&SASR:T I don't think sumo have many other games in the works at the moment (apart from adidas kinect)
