http://www.edge-online.com/features/the-art-of-sonic-all-stars-racing-transformed/ Steve Lycett explains why Vectorman, and by extension some other Mega Drive characters, aren't in the game...while completely flubbing the history of pre-rendered video games (Vectorman was a response to Donkey Kong Country, not the other way around), but there you go.
Surprised no one's poked him about whatever new DLC is being made. None at all~ Or are we getting another new DLC system where nothing comes of it and a third game is made? :v:
Considering that a nearly 8-month-old, Sega-published game is still being talked about, I'm sure news should come up eventually. His dismissal of Vectorman as a DLC character hurt a bit, though, especially since he was fourth most voted. So of the remaining 1000+ votes recipients, I could only see myself buying TJ&E, Ristar, or Segata Sanshiro.
Ya seriously, where is this DLC? Why is it that Sega supports the games I don't care about, yet when it comes to anything Sonic it's just like "nope" I respect Sega for/enjoyed the Unleashed DLC. I thought it was great. And yet this game and Generations were both perfectly obvious for DLC potential and we got nothing for either (I was especially disappointed about the lack of Generations DLC. I mean, Jesus look at all the fan mods the game is begging for new levels, also considering the fact that Sonic 3, Shadow, and Secret Rings could have easily had some love). It's like Sega doesn't want to support it's best (and to many only) franchise.

+ - Considering Sega's recent announcement of a Western release of her latest game, I wouldn't be surprised, but disappointed all the same. Needs of the weeaboo outweigh the needs of the Sega fans.
Just a bunch of green spheres? But that's how you describe Vectorman to someone who hasn't seem him since the '90s. That's what he is. Excited though. Waiting patiently for the announcement.
Sonic Stadium has put up some of the potential hints S0L posted in Sega and Steam Forums, respectively. Fire and ice? What characters in the polls exhibit those qualities?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_and_Ice_(1983_film) Clearly we're getting a Wreck-it Ralph track, at long last. Or better yet, a voice patch.
We're obviously getting a big new DLC expansion pack come winter; 6 new characters and 3 tracks! :specialed: Spoiler If we're getting Miku, please don't be just Miku
As I wait for my plane, entering this guessing game, my guess will draw flame Spoiler Miku in the Car, Segata on the Plane, Ristar is the boat. All-Star Character. :v:/
Company of Heroes 2. Just got released on Steam, is about Russia and takes place during the winter. Oh also the game is now 75% off on Steam and there's a free weekend: http://store.steampowered.com/app/212480/ Also 1.3GB patch on Steam.
1.3 GB? Holy crap, something big's definitely coming. Good show EDIT: From Sonic Stadium, the new character Spoiler So many fucks I just do not give right now. Like seriously
I picked up the Metal Sonic DLC while it's so cheap, dispite not playing the game in awhile. If there's new DLC coming out then I'll probably start playing again. I wonder how much work was put into this new character, his model looks like they just ripped it straight from the game he's from. While this was completely unexpected and I don't think even asked for, hopefully this means they might start to add a new character every so often.
