I looked at that list and all I could think was: Where the heck is anyone from...

Jacky & Akira's data is found in the disc, altho not enough for their models to be in and playable it seems.

I have plenty of friends, thank you. They don't play games though.
I like to push myself to get every achievement. Sure, most people won't see the point but I enjoy it and that's all that matters to me.
Anyway, I'll can the achievement talk from here on out. It generally leads to inane arguments, as evidenced by the WiiU thread referencing the lack of system wide achievements.

Sorry if that came out rudely, wasn't my intention ^_^;

Is the Wii U the definitive version? Or are all platforms the same?
If they're the same, is it safe to skip the Wii U version and not wait to get the system for this?

I don't trust the Wii U with any multiplat games right now.
Word.

That bad? Guess they were rushed out the door?
Earlier I would've said yes, but due to recent discoveries of the system I wouldn't say so now.

So I picked up the first game for PC yesterday and while I'm having a blast with it I'm sad to see that there's no online multiplayer. Have we got any indication if Transformed will have online for the Steam version?
Yes it will.

Maybe I'm missing something or maybe I just suck at snaking, but these boost events seem impossible to me, even in C class.

Which version are you playing? I hear that the boost challenges are glitched in the Wii U version. Apparently, the checkpoints that are supposed to be there don't show up.
EDIT: Ah, I see it's already been mentioned in this thread.
It's quite tough by today's standards. But I like it. The game fucks you constantly on the unlockable fourth Extreme difficulty, but you still keep coming back, it's just too good.

I'm loving this game on the Wii U - I never played the first one, but this is like an Outrun game, Hydro Thunder, Diddy Kong Racing, and Mario Kart all in one! Doesn't really use the Gamepad screen for much (except when playing on the screen instead of the TV), but I do like its use of motion controls with the Gamepad.

I've played both the WiiU version and PS3.
WiiU version has the exact same framerate as the PS3 version, but with a bit better lighting on characters. That's about it graphic wise.
As of now, the Wii U version has a bad glitch thanks to the latest patch for the game. All boost missions have no checkpoints. Making it impossible to finish. You have to fail four times on easy for the game to let you pass to the next challenge. XP Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
Wii U has the engine noises and character speech coming out of the game pad while the music and announcer come out of the TV. It's a cool effect.
WiiU has a twitter-like community for each game which is really cool. You can even leave spoilers as long as you mark them.
Ryo doesn't even have 400 votes yet: http://www.change.org/petitions/sum...hazuki-for-sonic-all-stars-racing-transformed.
That sucks !
The lack of votes for Kazuma sucks as well. I'm glad to see Segata is nearing the 1 000 signatures though. A game with Kazuma, Segata, and Ryo would be so awesome.

Once you have better track knowledge and are more comfortable with the items S class isn't that hard. Worst part are the challenges on Expert.
Do time trials and try to unlock expert ghosts. You'll quickly learn the fast routes and little tricks to each track (parts of them anyways).

Thanks for the impressions.
So based on the comments in this thread, looks like the 360 has the best stable framerates while Wii U and PS3 is slightly prettier.
Looks like any version is good (until they get the Wii U one fixed).
Can't wait for Vita reviews/impressions.

Well, I put my signature down for Ryo Hazuki. Hopefully he makes it in. I think he could ride Lan Di's helicopter and ride a freight ship or whatever for his transformations.

That's great. I already got a few of my Twitter followers to put their signatures down for Ryo. I hope that he'll end up in the top three.

Is there a way to choose which ghost you follow? I'm looking at the leaderboard and the top 10 have ghosts next to their name but I don't see an option to download etc. It seems to pick the closest to the expert ghost (or whichever ghost you're racing) but I'd prefer to see the top player.
PC version is the only one that does 60FPS, so if that's your biggest concern you shouldn't even bother with the console versions.

Going by performance reports on the WiiU version, I think I'll can my pre-order and pick the game up on 360.
When Segata is playable.

How do you do a triple stunt in the car/boat?
I thought stunts were just hitting the Right Stick in a direction, but I haven't got this yet.

just ordered the limited edition for £24.99 from amazon, had no idea it was going that cheap. i really enjoyed the first one so can't wait to give this a whirl. also i'm sure i can tempt my girlfriend into playing it/beating me on it.
Swipe down on the gamepad
I'm at work now so I can't try this until tonight, but when exactly do you do this? When the overhead map shows up on the gamepad, I just swipe down on the screen? I have never seen a prompt or anything. I'm not ordinarily an idiot, I swear!
Considering you can play the entire offline game co-op, I doubt that should be a challenge.
I don't understand. I have the Wii U version and I've played it for about 5 hours...it's fantastic.
can you play one player on gamepad, one on TV? Or one on gamepad and two (splitscreen) on TV?
If so, that should make it better than 360/PS3 for local multiplayer assuming similar overall performance?
I haven't tried local multiplayer yet, but if somebody hasn't already answered before I get off work I'll test it out.
What is the bug?

The Wii U port doesn't sound radically superior to the Xbox one but the online would be preferable on 360 and it's $20 cheaper than the Wii U version here in Australia.

Is there also screen tearing in the full PS3 version?
Anyone knows?

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
The preview videos showed that this was the case.
Up/Down on the stick are flips, and those are what you want to chain for tricks. Left/Right are rolls and help you position yourself when you land, but they also give a boost if you pull it off correctly. Hitting it again before your stunt finishes will break your chain and kill your boost too. And of course, you can't be in the middle of a stunt when you land, or you'll burn out.
Wii U system update apparently affected the game in bad ways, making it load the wrong maps and completely breaking the Wii U exclusive multiplayer modes.
I've seen it happen once or twice, but it's extremely rare. Only when there's a hell of a lot going on. It might actually be my TV or cable though.

Not that I noticed it, and I've played it a lot the last few days.
I don't know if it superior at all lol. The $20 difference + online preference is a solid reason to grab the 360 version though.

Thanks guys. I have also a 360 but I just don't like the blurry image in the demo. And the shadows are grainy. PS3 version looks crisp.
Would like to read a Digital Foundry Face-Off.
On very, very rare occasions, yes.
FYI, I can't stand tearing... but it happens not often enough to even bother here.
