Over at SSMB, S0L said not to count on all characters being in this just cause they were in the first one. I'm thinking The Bonanza Bros, Big, Zobio and Zobiko maybe even the Chu Chus as well are the candidates for being dumped. Maybe Ulala too, but she's been confirmed for Project X Zone so hopefully she's still in.
Love the concept. Love seeing Vyse again (I do hope this confirms that the Skies of Arcadia HD port is true, though I suppose that could just be coincidence) and I love that there is a Panzer Dragoon Saga course. I am especially happy that there will be more course variety. I'm scared Ryo Hazuki may have gotten cut. I really want to see a Shenmue stage. But I do recall reading that Sumo Digital is a fan of Shenmue and wanted Ryo as far back as the Tennis game. I'd find it surprising that they'd cut him.
I don't understand cutting characters but meh. I'm going to request that no SoR characters show up, maybe Sega will do the opposite and put them in :D
Day one purchase. All that's left is Hank Hill and this will be Game of the Year All Years. If they include NiGHTS, the Hornet, Vectorman and keep Ryo in the roster, I'll buy the hell out of this game.
I'll tell you what, I supported Hank Hill's inclusion before, and I'll do it again. I can't wait to race with propane and propane accessories. So naturally his mower turns into a fishin' boat on water, but what happens in the air? Maybe some Strickland Propane balloons pop out from under the hood. I can't wait to find out, this is going to be the best Christmas ever. Get me out of the got-danged alley! 100,000 strong for Hank Hill in SART!
Oh god, the first one didn't leave my Wii for months after I bought it. I fear for my poor free time ):
Oh God ! I love the Panzer Dragoon Music remixes used in the trailer ! Besides Sonic, Panzer Dragoon series may be my next favorite Sega franchise. HOPE THE DRAGON IS PLAYABLE ! ! !
"Hank Hill" was somewhat featured in MSR on Dreamcast. That's what my buddies and I always called him BITD. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiRiZGSkhbY[/youtube] But back on topic, I'm actually excited about this game. I was pleasantly surprised with the first and I'm hoping this sequel is even better. From what I've seen it looks to be true.
Sorry, I still hear Panzer Dragoon music from the first game being remixed, its in the beat , not the insterments. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcDScvEYX3c&feature=channel&list=UL
Well then you're wrong, cause it's the instrumental version of 'Promises' being used, just as was done with "Tenderoni" and "Na Na Na" in Generation's trailers. Not that it matters, it's just not Panzer Dragoon music being played.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcDScvEYX3c&feature=channel&list=UL Compare, as the beat follows Panzer dragoon almost to a T, just remixed with modern instruments and a few pattern changes near the end, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CU3CDOK2Ag&feature=player_embedded#! Edit,, seems your right though about it being that song, sorry, but I hope you can see why I thought it was Panzer Dragoon at first .
I see some of my favourites from the first in the sequel (B. D. Joe, Beat) yes! Also Panzer Dragoon level in the reveal trailer. Sega, you know me and my obsessions well. :v: The Skies of Arcadia track looks beautiful. I hope it's not just Ixataka. The course should go through the whole world. So fun and appropriate if so. It looks beautiful too, Skies remade would blow my mind. EDIT: Actually, it might not be Ixataka. There is concept art of Monkey Ballz with aztec themes. Also, this. Other concept art I found. http://console-toi.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/SonicAllStarRacingTransformed_canyon_town.jpg http://console-toi.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/SonicAllStarRacingTransformed_oasis.jpg http://console-toi.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/SonicAllStarRacingTransformed_spiral_tower.jpg ->
It sure is nice that they put those arrows there, else I wouldn't have known that I should go left. :v: Seriously though, nice finds. Where did you get them from? EDIT: I guess I should have checked the source. :P http://console-toi.fr/archives/28864 Concept art of the Monkey Ball water section:
Seeing Knuckles made me happy. They've finally gave his dreadlocks the movement they lacked in ASR. They haven't fixed the mouths though; Knuckles still has a freaky front mouth! *picky* It wouldn't suprise me if Zobio and Zobiko were one of the racers cut from the game. Weren't they in the game to promote a new House of the Dead in Japan or something?
