More than 10 Sega characters will come, as expected.
(but you are already back home due to Miku alone

Sonic could not possibly be this boring. After playing Mario kart world, it's probably one of the worst Mario kart games I've ever played. Apart from knockout tour, this game is boring af.
It looks visually better than MK8 but is inferior in many ways.

After all this time, still doesn't have a measly chance against MKW. And even if it wasn't against it, I doubt it would be much of hitter. It screams like its just throwing everything in the wall and see if it sticks. And this is from someone who likes Jet, but he is like totally out of place. Would be better if they just relaunch the older games like All Star Racing with better visuals, performance and new characters. That game still pretty damn good.

I won't be getting a Switch 2 any time soon so I might give Sonic Racing a chance after reviews drop. I like it has crossplay, but I don't give a shit about the collab with other Sega IPs or Minecraft. What does it for me is Hatsune Miku.

Seems to me more like MKW is launching as a more complete game instead of the nickle and diming that SEGA is doing.
Also, you can almost guarantee MKW will have post launch content, same as MK8 and MK8D had, and if it isn't free I'm sure it will be fairly priced based on the content on offer.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is my all-time favorite kart racing game and from all the trailers and infos about Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds I have no doubt it will be a masterpiece BUT the price reveal for the game was a huge let down and took away any chance this game had of competing with Mario Kart World, unfortunately. Elden Ring did not cost me U$70,00 so there's no way in hell I will pay that much for this game, not to mention that the Deluxe Edition is priced at U$90,00 and it's even worse for me because the price localization of this game is a joke and here in Brazil the price of the deluxe edition is the equivalent of 30% of the minimum wage in this cursed country.
If you read the comment section of the most recent videos on the official Sonic or Sega YouTube channels or check the Steam Forums, 99% of the threads and comments are complaining about the price so it's pretty clear the game will sell poorly because of that and then SEGA will consider this game a failure and stop supporting it after the end of the first season... Very sad but also very predictable but SEGA always find a way to shoot itself in the foot.

I get your point... but i have faith.
The game is already a top seller on Playstation, in Brazil it has already good results (steam charts on twitter),
on top of that, it's a Sega game.
Expect many discounts...
Finally, there already Minecraft and Miku effect worldwide (even in Asia for the first time).

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds' controls are based on 20 years of experience making Initial D arcade games, devs say - AUTOMATON WEST
According to Sega developers, it was thanks to the Initial D development team that Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds feels like a "real" racing game.
automaton-media.com
Initial D team is a top tier arcade dev...
The item balance was a little new for them (main issue in their beta) but they already fixed it: The previews say the game is amazing.
My Sonic racing tier list prediction:
4th: Team Sonic Racing (C+)
3th: OG Sonic Racing (B+)
2nd: Sonic Transformed (A)
1st: Sonic Crossworlds (A+)
Arcade teams are doing wonders at the Sonic Team(look at Shadow Gen... it's the new era Sonic Team!) and it's obviously their most ambitious Sonic Racing game.
It will be peak.

2025 Sega is extremely consistent because of top tiers arcade teams joining Sega console Studios (even Shadow Gen is the best 3D Sonic ever made), all Sega Racing were good (not decent) and this time the S-Tiers Initial D Team is handling Sonic Cross Worlds:
Don't forget that the Initial D Team is famous in arcade for making deluxe arcade racers and polishing them after beta tests...
Yup, as always with the Initial D Gods, the beta has nothing to do with final product.(famous for listening feedbacks)
Sonic Cross Worlds beta was already fun (only the items were really problematic but easy to fix. )
Trust the Initial D Team Gods, Sonic Cross Worlds won't be "decent".
If it's being made by the Initial D team then I'm excited. Thank god it's not Sumo Digital again.

It doesn't suck, but it also doesn't really do much new either. The open world free roam thing is completely pointless, it has nothing to do and just quit after a few minutes of driving around. Such a fucking waste, this is a concept that PG took and did wonders with Forza Horizon and Ubisoft with The Crew and I felt maybe they would look into that to make it sorta like that, but Mario themed and its nothing like that, its just boring and empty lol
I don't even get why the game is named from its weakest element (Sorta like Ghost Of Tsushima), maybe they originally had more going on and just focused on just the normal races and scaled back or something.
Not the worst MK, but not the best either. Maybe I'm getting too old lol, its already deleted from my Switch 2 and we've moved on.

what do you expect of a SW1 game re-baked to close the void on SW2 release window.

no one gives a shit about metacritic anymore. its all fake bought and baised reviews. pay some people in India to write user reviews. pay off "main stream" reviewers. It's about time GAF just drops meta critic.

I voted MKW because I spent a huge amount of time on 8 and believed it was going to be even more fun. I was wrong and wish I could change my vote... I mean, I didn't even buy the console but it doesn't look fun after ai saw countless streams of it. I don't even know if sega's game is fun but MKW certainly doesn't look like it is fun.

Well I'm actually playing it and to me its SUPER fun and even go as far as I'm enjoying MKWorld more than MK8 and I LOVED MK8.

It's a better game and the visuals are awesome as long as you have the HDR set up correctly. I don't get the open world free roam complaints either. The world is simply awesome to drive around aND just so vibrant. The ultimate Mario sightseeing tour with loads of challenges and collectables thrown in for good measure.

it's Sonic Racing Transformed or you can all name them Sonic Drift Transformed, Mario Drift Deluxe 8 and Crash Team Drift...
The OG light hearted Kart Racer with roller coaster and crossovers is 1988 Power Drift from Yu Suzuki.

Doesn't look like it at all and beta players have said different handling physics.

I'll get both. I had high expectations for Sonic, just because of Hatsune Miku's appearance I'll buy it...
But the rest is a waste of special guests... Especially because of Nickelodeon.

I feel like I'm going to end up liking Sonic Racing Cross World more. Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed is my favorite kart racer and I know the developer is different but this game seems like a spiritual successor to it. I think Mario Kart World is going to need DLC (including an option for a more traditional 3 lap on a track experience if that isn't there yet) to fully reach its potential.

It's way less expensive than MKW:
MKW
- Less than $500 console paywall.
- $80 now... $80 in 2030.
SCW
- Less than $250 console paywall (Switch Lite, Xbox One Digital... good luck to find second hand Switch 2)
- $70 now... 25% Off in 2026, 50% off in 2027, 80% off + all DLC in 2030.
($90 is the optional DLC, there are free Sega DLC each month)
