Yes Ferrariman, Sumo Digital does a great job PORTING GAMES THEY DIDN'T DEVELOP, but remember their last game, Sega Superstars Tennis? I hope this shit's good, but I'm not banking on it being anywhere near AM-developed racer levels.
Title: Re: Sonic and his shitty Friends are back
Post by: pilonv1 on May 29, 2009, 03:25:19 AM: Sumo Digital are awesome. Sega Tennis was fine until the Alex Kidd difficulty spike, and they've done a good job with VT 2009.

Again, this all rests on Ulala's involvement

Looks like shit. Sumo Digital is doing it? Hmmm, might play OK, but I'm not exactly keeping the faith. Also looks SIGNIFICANTLY worse than Sonic Unleashed (which was a beautiful game).

I have to say FINALLY Sega does what Nintendo..es that is a kart-racer based on their ultra-popular mascots.

But there is still a chasm between those two companies: just look how many Mario Karts and how many Sonic Karts have there been...

Nintendo has 8 kart racers, if you count the two arcade games.

Sega is up to 4 with this latest game, counting Sonic R.

Post by: GilloD on May 29, 2009, 11:15:33 AM: I love that Sonic is like "HEY DUES LETS RACE" and knowing that Tails will win is all "But tails, put down your landing gear" and instead of being like, "Fuck you Sonic, I fucking win. I built this fucking plane" Tails is like 'FAIR IS FAIR'

Quote
We have this image just coming in courtesy of News Tipster Impish…it is on Sega of America’s Site and it affirms the presence of Banjo and Kazooie and console specific characters in Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing.

The image all but affirms something Steve Lycett had hinted against–Banjo-Kazooie will be specific to the XBOX360 edition of the game. We may have our announcement before it’s formally introduced by Sega.

The image is available–it is small–below. But it does appear legitimate. We thank Impish for sending the information in via our News Tips system. Clearly, this opens up a whole new dimension to who might be in and out for ASR, and we will be sure to keep on top of it all.

2nd Update: We want to let you know that, at least for right now and at least according to some of the other box art that’s been released, Banjo and Kazooie will be the only console specific character. So far, other box art indicates nothing else that’s console specific. So, for those wondering about the possibilities of, for example, Mario in the Wii edition, or Sackboy in the PS3…yes, it’s possible, but don’t hold your breath. This may be an exclusive to drive people to the XBOX360 edition.

SEGA has revealed on the SEGA America Blog that Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing will allow players to race as their Mii in the Wii edition of the title. Just like the SEGA mainstays, Miis will have a unique "All Star" move that can give straggling racers a helpful boost.

The SEGA-centric racer is being developed by Sumo Digital, makers of the home ports of OutRun 2 and last year's Sega Superstars Tennis. Interestingly, the Wii version of the game is not the only one to get an exclusive feature. Rare's Banjo Kazooie and the Xbox 360's Avatars will appear in the Xbox 360 version of the title.

Looks like all versions will have an exclusive feature set for them. After beating MKWii, I've been in the mood for a new party racer and Sega just might pull it off here.

Yeah, the demo wasn't very good. It does look nice but it's a shame the framerate is noticeably inconsistent.

Post by: cool breeze on February 08, 2010, 04:26:46 PM: yeah, this is pretty bad. Why does it run like such shit? makes me feel like I'm playing Mario Kart 64

Post by: Bildi on February 08, 2010, 04:36:26 PM: Dipping to 20fps is pretty poor even if it's not that often. Brings up memories of PAL N64 gaming.

Post by: Beezy on February 08, 2010, 04:43:03 PM: So it turned out average, huh? Thank god for demos.
Title: Re: Sonic, Banjo & Ryo Hazuki are racing karts :hump
Post by: bork on February 08, 2010, 04:45:51 PM: -Shitty frame rate
-Feels too chaotic at times, especially when you have a bunch of karts on the screen with the frame rate dipping
-Drifting felt kind of weird (with Sonic)
+Tricking to get speed boosts when landing is nice
+Looks like a nice selection of tracks will be available
+Frame rate aside, visuals are nice
-The announcer sucks
+Plenty of kooky items to use
-Character-specific power-up items seem overpowered and unfair

I read Darth Sol (a Sumo Digital employee who usually is on GameFAQs) has said the frame rate is an issue with the demo and will be cleaned up by the time the game comes out. After playing it, however, I'm certainly not going to be picking this up at launch. (Not that I was planning to, anyway)

Post by: bork on February 08, 2010, 04:56:22 PM: Apparently you can turn the announcer off in the full game.

Here's the first review, from some UK mag I've never heard of. Scans:

So it looks like the characters are:

-Sonic
-Tails
-Amy
-Eggman
-Knuckles
-Big
-Shadow
-Banjo (360 only)
-Ryo Hazuki
-Amigo
-Beat
-BD Joe (Crazy Taxi)
-Alex Kidd
-Ulala
-Billy Hatcher
-Zobio and Zobiko (House Of The Dead)
-Jacky and Akira
-Ai Ai
-Bonanza Bros.
-Chus Chus and Rocket
-OPA-OPA
-Avatars/Miis

Post by: bork on February 08, 2010, 06:57:27 PM: So I was reading this apparently started off as an Outrun-style racer without power-ups. Wish they'd kept it that way.

honestly, the drifting did remind me a lot of a broken Outrun 2, and the track didn't do much to help.

Post by: CHOW CHOW on February 10, 2010, 09:05:25 PM: wow, where the heck did this come from? first i heard of it was looking at the new demos in XBL marketplace. downloaded it and just played a couple races and am blown away...

- 22 different characters/racers

- 24 amazing looking and unique tracks...scroll through the tracks when you're at the track select screen. although they're greyed out, you can see how varied and fun and they look. this was the most impressive part for me

- the graphics are great

- the driving mechanics and stuff are also great. it's arcade fun and not too difficult to make turns etc

- the powerups are fun and better than mario kart. you can get super power ups that are really fun

- sense of speed is there

- the bright colors and tracks look fantastic

- 8 player multi online, 4 player starscream
