Sega announces Sonic & SEGA All-Star Racing

[Wombatwarlord777]

I'm honestly surprised nobody from Crazy Taxi has been announced yet. It should be such an obvious choice in a Sega mascot racing game.

I'm also holding out for Opa-Opa. That'd be cool.

[P.P.A.]

Can they use a Ferrari from OutRun without some sort of legal trouble?

[Forza Johnman]

I guess, it depends on whether or not Sega owns an up to date Ferrari license. Even then, I cant imagine Flagman in a Testarossa is likely to get in.

Looking forward to this. Even though I can't help thinking, looking at the roster so far, they should have went the whole hog and just did "Sonic Drift 3" and make the best Sonic game for quite some time.

[Dasher]

I want a HUmar or HUcast in a car or something!

[G.Silver]

Should be driving in a HUcar.

[cjmcray]

As much as i'd like to see Sonic Drift 3, I think this is a smart business move. Sonic is SEGA's best-selling franchise, so slap Sonic's name on the title. Add a bunch of characters from SEGA's other franchises, and the people who bought the game only knowing SEGA for the Sonic franchise, might be curious to play other games starring Ryo, AiAi and the like.

[Green Gibbon!]

Only then will I be impressed.

Oooh, yeah. BD Joe plzkthx.

I hope that Ryo's inclusion means there'll be a Shenmue stage - preferably Dobuita or maybe Wan Chai's Golden Quarter. Yokusuka Harbour wouldn't be bad either.

Also, if I were making the game I'd include Jeffry as a character in an obscure nod to his statue on Seaside Street Galaxy.

[Neo]

Joe plzkthx.

Joe Musashi?

No, no, no, no. Wise Man's Qr. With ducks.

[G.Silver]

BD Joe plzkthx.

Joe Musashi?

BD Joe is one of the Crazy Taxi drivers. I don't know why they even bothered including other characters, he's the best one by far.

[cjmcray]

I liked Cinnamon, Angel, Axel and Gena. (and BD Joe as previously mentioned)

Could've done without the the rest, though.

[Blount]

Well hey, the Flagman could at least serve as the... flag man. I'd dig that. Especially if he still moonwalked. But I'm still hoping the couple from Out Run appears in a Testarossa. To have a crossover SEGA racing game without them is just... wrong.

[Maruyama]

I say Headdy should be in, but that's a little more than wishful thinking. I'm certain it will happen in the inevitable Treasure All-Stars Racing, featuring Gunstar Green and the Seven Force. As his All-Star move, of course.

[Neo]

I was just implying how better Musashi would be. On a horse. With the surfboard as his special.

[Shadow Hog]

Huh, was that the black guy's name from the first Crazy Taxi? You're right, I almost exclusively played as him - but I didn't play the game long enough to memorize any names. Good game, though.

I kind of think they expected the green-haired dude (Axel?) to be the main character, though. Even if BD Joe was far more awesome.

[FlashTHD]

Could've done without the the rest, though.

Oh what now? Gus is the best. Funny voice and he's the only one of the first 4 to take no shit from the citizens when you mess a fare up.

"You suck, look at the time!"
"Hey, you suck"

"Almost outta time, step on it!"
"It's under control"

Passing up Crazy Taxi anything for this (and after going to the trouble/extreem fanservice for a Shenmue inclusion) would in theory be a crime, although I have no idea what they'd do for a cabbie's special attack item.

Doesn't necessarily have to be the Testarossa...forgetting the Speed Buster from Outrunners? (actually, that game is forgotten a lot for an arcade rig that made Sega more money than anything else on that market)

As for anything at all Daytona related, eyes on prolly the real prize, now...

[Blount]

I have met some wild people in my day, but you, sir, take the proverbial cake.

[Isuka]

[Sanshirou-sensei]

Only then will I be impressed.

I also demand Burning-Ship. And an appropriate We Are Burning Rangers remix.

Tsk, tsk. No imagination at all. What's the passenger for, uh?

[Arcade]

And the red bike from Hang on!

[ShinjukuNeedlemouse]

Ryo+forklift for the WIN. I hope that we eventually get Shenmue 3, even though ChuChu Rocket was arguably a better game in terms of story depth.

[Wombatwarlord777]

...Speaking of which, a Chu-Chu in an escape rocket would be another good idea for a playable character. His/her special attack could involve morphing into a Kapu-Kapu.

OMG YES YES THIS X10000

Dude, you are a genuis and I hope SEGA hires you and then a BETTER company gets you (because it's risky working for SEGA nowdays, and I don't want to see you jobless).

[Opa-Opa]

How about some Space Harrier service? He could be riding that dragon from the bonus stages. Hell, speaking of dragons, where's Panzer Dragoon?

[Shadow Hog]

I'm not entirely sure how a Panzer Dragoon character would work. Maybe you could add in Lundi and Lagi (in pre-flying form)? Or I guess Edge and his nameless dragon, I dunno. What would the All-Star Move be? Berserk Rage? Shield? Shove a random opponent into Sestren for a few seconds (that oughta be surreal)?

[Arcade]

I am the only one enraged by the lack of Space Channel 5 stuff in this game?
