Hahah... I like Sonic and I like racing games; I don't really see how any developer can screw that up... <_<

*Knocks on wood*



Looks interesting so far, but past racing game experience makes me wonder if it'll be like some of my favorite racers (F-Zero 64, Mario Kart: DD). Hopefully it doesn't suffer from crap like Mario Kart Syndrome (AKA: Rubber band AI) or other such things. But it's still too early to think about that stuff, pray they include some fan favorites.

Gametrailers uploaded some gameplay. The Sega press guy doesn't know how to drift: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-09-sonic-sega/50587

Haha, I love how cheeky Sonic is. And it almost looks like he's flipping the other drivers off as Super Sonic.

Are they REALLY trying to copy Mario Kart THAT bad? I mean it was obvious this was gonna be a Mario Kart rip off, but they just copied every aspect Mario Kart had. "Do a trick mid-air to get an extra boost". Ah whatever, the game does look pretty good though nonetheless.

Arcade racers did exist before Mario Kart.

Yeah... just look at Outrun, a personal favorite. ^^

They're from SErvice GAmes... maybe they make a cameo somewhere....?
Stay inspired!

I know, but Mario Kart has it's own special uniqueness, not just racing. Sega All Stars feels like it's trying to use that uniqueness for themselves.

I guess it's not really a surprise, every company copies somethings from a successful title and put it in their own game. /shrug

Ironically, Mario Kart didn't have that until the Wii version.
Earliest game I remember having that is CTR, where jumping at the end of a ledge got you extra boost.

There's a difference between plagiarism and making a game in the same genre as Mario Kart. Mario didn't invent platforming, did he just copy Pitfall Harry?

I had a go on this at Comic Con. Tis really pretty, though it takes a while to get used to the drifting. An amusing aspect I found is when Sonic turns Super and rams into his opponents, he appears to give them the finger.
Also, in some points, Sonic just randomly decides to leap out and lie on the back of his car, whilst driving. Wasn't this the same hedgehog who told us not to stand on top of Formula One cars?

I hope it was faster than the last build I saw (I think it was a vid from E3). I can't believe the same people who made Outrun made a game that looked so slow. Unless there's some sort of "class" system like Mario Kart, I can't see it being much fun.

Besides, that Sonic Team label tends to put me right off a game these days; I've been burned one too many times.

I noticed Sonic's bird flippage in the last trailer. Very cheeky.
