Team Sonic Racing: Team Gameplay Spotlight
- Thread starter Synohan
- Start date
Yup
This game will go down as a misstep. No one asked for this.
Need to see more tracks looks alright just so far some parts of tracks maybe bit too barren and boring to look at needs more stuff to look at even outside of the track make it a spectacle to race through each track
Which saddens me.
I really wanted a S&ASR3, but this seems like a step down from the first game in terms of fast-paced arcade racing.
Everything about this game feels like a downgrade from Transformed and who's idea was it to make it only Sonic characters?
Wisps are a good replacement for items. Good ass game as it was, the items in SASRT were generic as hell and the usage of wisps could have helped to give them a lot more flavor.
I'm reserving judgment for now, but I'm not really feeling this.
Speak for yourself, I am looking forward to playing the game and have it pre-ordered.
Agreed, for a game that was laden with Sega references the weapons simply didn't reflect that, nor did they feel useful.
Then how will it go down as a mistep.
Games i'm not fond of are not missteps, they are just... games i'm not fond of. I'm sure this has an audience and it will do quite well. Mistep implies that something went wrong, no. You might not be the audience for this, that's ok. And there might have been wanting sometype of sonic only racer, or at least something more simplified than transformed
Looks a bit tame after playing OnRush. I think I will pass on this and stick to OnRush for my arcade team racing / car combat fix.
It will go down as a misstep like lots of games do. Years from now when people say "how were those Sonic Kart racers?", people will respond with "first one was good, second one not so much".
The new ideas in this sequel do not look like fun additions to the formula. They look like unnecessary stuff that will get in the way of the fun.
Sales have nothing to do with a game being labeled a misstep.
This just sounds like you not being able to accept not everything is for you and can find success outside of yourself. But whatever man, i'm not one to write off something as a misstep before its released because maybe a bunch of other folks will enjoy it even if I don't. But I guess i'm just a different kinda dude
Game still looks fine. I'm really not worried about the team mechanics, and they've already confirmed standard "free-for-all" racing, so I'm mostly looking forward to more interesting tracks.
But seriously, what is up with Knuckles' voice
I have a reasonable assumption for why it's not Travis Willingham but what is going on

Maybe he was busy during the recording of this?
More speculative: I figure it might be about time for voice actors to change and maybe this is a weird transition period. Like next sonic game, a bunch of other characters might have different voices
My assumption had to do with his and Laura Bailey's newborn child
I admit I've not been keeping up with this game but this trailer looks like you have to rely on ai partners for several important mechanics, which doesn't strike me as a good decision...
I agree for the most part, but in the context of a Sonic themed racing game, they actually kinda make sense as items.
That's probably going to be the price, tbh. Mania Plus physically is $30, and Forces launched at $40. If there's one thing Sega's been somewhat reasonable with in regards to the series as of late, it's the pricing.
Based off past releases, I'm betting those framerate drops are not going to be addressed very well. This does not look good.
Looks like a mess of ideas throwed at same time in order to make the game looks different.
I disagree. Mostly because everytime you get a box the same guy from Colors say the name of wisps. Sounds more like rerere-using stuff...they could at least change that.

The announcer in Colors was a fun thing that made the game feel arcade-y, and again makes even more sense in the context of a racing game.
Yeah Knuckles voice is just...what?
Rest looks decent to me. Still sad they took away the all stars though and just using Sonic characters.

Takkng a 'Wait and See' approach with this, given who the team behind this are.
I have no problem with Wisps as power ups, as far as Sonic Team's problems go they certainly aren't near the top.
They were the funner parts of Forces. And made Colours more replayable.

Agreed, it made using the Wisp fun. Sonic Colours was a really good game with the Wisp mechanic and it's disappointing to see that both Lost World and Forces struggling to understand what made the Wisp fun in the first place.
I'll buy it, but yeah, I'm also in the camp that thinks this is going to be a big drop off from Transformed.
I can't understand why visually it doesn't look like a step up from Transformed which was released on PS3 and 360.
I mean it's 2018. Anyway, all that matter is it is good fun I suppose.

That looks just like the ps4 footage
anyway, how will this work online? Will you still be able to play 10 players???
Same. I'm in, it's a racing game from Sumo. But this doesn't look like anything special, and most definitely not a step up from the last game. Sad times :(
I haven't played a mainline 3D Sonic game since Sonic Heroes so please forgive me but did they kill off Cream? I can't think of any other reason to replace her with random neutral chao.
Did...did Knuckles get a new voice actor?
Also, wow, does this team stuff look extra convoluted and something I don't want to do.
Honestly, the gameplay looks great, but everything else seems off. Tracks look really bland, the UI looking clunky, and again with the wisps? This whole thing feels like it was planned to be a mobile game, but SEGA probably decided for some reason to make it for consoles instead.

Outside of the mobile games, she's been gone since Generations.
For some reason, ever since Generations, a lot of Sonic games and media sort of don't really acknowledge the Dreamcast era of Sonic games and their content. Been seeing a lot of Colors and Lost World stuff though, unfortunately.
