You're in luck because it's one of the cooler tracks I've seen.
Looking forward to finding out about it ! How could a track about a haunted clocktower in Rooftop Run not be cool ? Have you seen all the tracks ?
I've seen everything except the remade Final Fortress tracks, although I haven't watched a full lap of Mother's Canyon or Doctor's Mine.
EB Australia have a deal where you trade in 2 Xbox/PS4/Switch games and get Team Sonic Racing for $19AU. I don't normally buy discs but at $19 I can always buy digital on deep sale later and sell the disc.
Just played through the first chapter on PS4 Pro. It's fun and easy to get into. The team mechanics are pretty cool, though there are also non team modes. Nobody was online the few times I checked but there are casual and ranked modes.
Seems to run at 1080p, even on Pro, but it still looks good. Didn't think about it during gameplay, to be honest. Pretty sure I noticed some frames dropping, but nothing major.
I'm pretty tired, so I'll have better impressions and probably some videos or a stream tomorrow. Also will try split screen to see how it performs. So far, I don't regret going with the PS4 version over PC, though I'm going to be tempted to pick that up as well if it supports ultrawide.

Watched some gameplay footage on YouTube. I think they should make shorter tighter courses. The courses are so long the gameplay just doesn't seem fun to me. Hope for sega this does well.
Still deciding on if I want the PS4 or Switch version, but I guess it depends on the Switch version's potential issues (hopefully there aren't any crashing issues like I feel a lot of third party Switch games have--at least more than I would like). I'm really interested in a local multiplayer game, and it's easier to play on Switch in local multiplayer than PS4 to me. Regardless, I can't wait to purchase the game's soundtrack when it's available on iTunes shortly after launch.
Thanks for this! It's a bit hard to make a final conclusion about the speed due to the video not being 60fps but this looks much better already speed-wise.
Yeah you can play without teams.
First(?) Review is up. They Liked it a lot
While that IS my biggest gripe with the game I still think it shouldnt have much effect on the final score. There is plenty to make up for it including the actual gameplay!
Got the Switch version yesterday and played about two or so hours. Haven't done some of the later tracks, but performace seems surprisingly stable. Again, I've only raced in about half the tracks, but as far as framerate goes, it actually seems a little better than Transformed was on consoles.
Getting the boost at the start of the race is more or less identical to Transformed as well.
I will say that I'm having fun with the game, even with the team mechanic, but so much of the game's aesthetic (even down to the UI) reminds me of Transformed, and I still kinda wish we got a follow-up to that instead.

That's what I get for my general media blackout. My god it's so good.
It's always good to follow the Official Sonic Youtube page :)
Have they said anywhere if sideways joy cons are supported on the Switch version? I would figure they are, but I want to be sure before I consider purchasing this.
I found out yesterday that this is $40. I was ready to pay $60, so thats a nice surprise :) I will get it next week.
