http://kotaku.com/5884388/start-your-engines-for-sonic—sega-all+stars-racing-sequel Sweet, first game was the best rival to Mario Kart in a long time so will be interesting to see how they improve things Sega better include Ristar
If they drop the "Sonic" bit that would be nice. Still have Sonic characters in it maybe, but not dedicating half the game to these people would be an improvement.
Hell yeah! I just need NiGHTS, Segata Sanshiro, and Hank Hill Gillius Thunderhead. Seriously excited by this, I love All-Stars Racing, this makes up for the lack of DLC to me. EDIT: D'oh, and Ristar, like Super Napalm said.
In before the now-cliché tired and worn requests for Fang the Sniper come in (not to mention Bean and Bark) I still never understood what the obsession IS with these characters!
Still have Sonic characters maybe? Yeah, cause a random racing game consisting of a bunch of dead SEGA IPs (and AiAi) would sell... That said, I'm all for leaving the Sonic cast untouched from the original and just adding far more representation for other series. Every series except Sonic in the original was represented by only one character/car, and the choices for courses was rather poor too. Sonic had nine courses based on three stages from Heroes, and Ulala had none. Pretty weak.
How much does this game go for now? I've always wanted to buy it but never felt like chucking $60 on it.
I got it for $20 USD just a few months after it came out, it shouldn't be too hard to find it for that price nowadays. The 360 version is $16 on Amazon (sans shipping), for example. I'd say it's definitely worth it, especially if you like kart racers like Mario Kart or Crash Team Racing.
Screw that, I want Vector. Yeaaaah, crocodile, awwwwwww yeaaaaahhh... *cough* In seriousness, it's not like Sega are going to appease the niche of the fanbase that thinks they look clever by insisting on the inclusion of characters that nobody else remembers or cares about. No. It won't happen. Wait, I take it back -- just realised I have an inkling to play as Ray the Retarded Flying Whateverthefuckheis. Awwwwww yeaaaaaaahhh.
I am ok with this I guess. Just hope they diversify a bit level-wise, new themes and all that, if possible. Gonna have to stick in ASR and have a go now. Again requesting Ristar and Planet Sonata. A Bonanza Bros. level might work too.
Yes, because dropping SEGA's biggest money-making franchise from a game highlighting their biggest franchises is a good idea. SEGA aren't the only ones guilty of this, by the way. Super Smash Bros., Melee, and Brawl are LOADED with Mario characters, so much to the point that characters like Yoshi and Wario are given their own icons so it doesn't seem that way. On a lighter note, I'm not big on SEGA's other franchises, but if they somehow decided to include Segata Sanshiro that would be awesome.
They better bring NiGHTS back and it would be interesting to bring its Stages in here too. I sort of want to see Special stages in Sonic games to be a racing track though. I dunno why :v:
Also hoping the character selection is fixed as in..well..in the first game you picked Shadow first you have basicly won the race already...:P
I'd like to point attention to something: http://www.sonicstadium.org/2012/01/rumour-sonic-sega-all-stars-racing-sequelremix-in-the-works/ If the tipster that wrote into Sonic Stadium is right, this game is heading to Vita, 3DS, and Wii U.
Oh yes. I really liked the first one despite a few flaws here and there, so I'm really glad they're getting another shot at it. Wonder if since that Realistic Sega Racing idea doesn't seem to have surfaced, they'd be willing to bite the bullet and put Hornet in this one.
