Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed

Licensing digital vs physical isn't that simple. Especially whenever Avex is involved.

edit: Obviously I don't know the backend story of SASRT's soundtrack, but I'm speaking from personal experience with a few other soundtracks.

 

Appreciate the removal, thanks.

Shows there is at least some desire to get the soundtrack at least!

It's something I did talk over with SEGA, to see if we could even a limited print run for EU and US (not least as I wanted a copy...) but whilst soundtrack CD's do well commercially in Japan, they don't do enough overseas as it tends to be mostly downloads these days.

Hence the choice to put it out there on iTunes. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but at least it means we can get out a properly mastered and mixed version for those that wanted it. Jun actually took this one on himself, so it's not been a B team production either. Hence my prickliness about it, took a bunch of arm twisting to get it done and out there.

Anyway, appreciate the quick turn around and support.

Makes sense, I suppose. It cuts out the middle man of buying the CD then ripping it at home (let's be honest, copy protection does nothing these days) and slapping it on a fancy MP3 playing doohickey. But I do like seeing the soundtracks on the shelf.

Just part of a dying era, then.

 

You should be >=O

 

I would've posted about it on the front page sooner had I known about it.

If it's any consolation s0l, at least one person bought the physical soundtrack. :v:/>

 

You know, I proper laughed when I came back to find that as front page news. In a good way of course.

Hey, back in the naughty corner you! You have 15 more minutes to do...

Hey, once I found out, I had to buy the soundtrack off of Amazon, which makes listening to it a whole lot easier for me.

Now that we, er, got your attention, since the Japanese version is out, when do the other versions get the Japanese announcer/Puyo block item? Eh? Eh?

 

When the consoles get all the PC only DLC, and Ruby Eclipse forces his hand and Miku is added in/replaces Danica Patrick

 

I thought we were getting more DLC or something since this topic had a mini-explosion.

Always nice to see S0L though.

 

Who says we aren't?

 

More PC exclusive advertisements, I presume.

If/when a US print turns out to be a reality:

Disc 1:


18 - The start* for the songs on Temple Trouble are reversed, the "Jungle stage" start* plays on the "Monkey Ball Theme" and the "Monkey Ball Theme" start* plays on the "Jungle stage" dunno why.
24 - Seasonal Shrine's cinematic intro fades into the track, obviously it was intentional but why just this track?
31 - Same case as '18' - "Nights and Reala" start* plays on "Paternal Horn"* and "Paternal Horn" start* plays on "Nights and Reala".

Disc 2:

03 - Same case as the previously mentioned tracks; reversed start * bits on Graffitti City.
08 - Same case as the previously mentioned tracks; reversed start * bits on Graveyard Gig.
10 - Same case as the previously mentioned tracks; reversed start * bits on Adder's Lair.
12 - The start*bits were removed between the track sections (I prefer it this way, though; but where were they included on the other tracks anyway?)
33 - The Credits theme start * is wrong;The one from the 'Online Menu' was used here, where one from the 'Title theme' should be used instead.

Personal comment: Some tracks do sound much better than the in-game counterparts, specially 1-07 and 1-16!


*The little loop with lowpass filter before a track starts/change vehycle form

 

Game is on sale for 10 bucks, all dlc on sale for just under 5 until the end of the month.

 

It'll probably be on sale for 5 bucks as a daily or flash deal.
