Why a Sonic Racing game with a trailer about Shadow racing with a car? Did they lost a screw for real this time?

 

[NeverYouMind]

When will they learn? It is the other Sega characters and IPs that sold the two games by Sumo Digital.

 

[Toons]

Sure why not

 

[RomanceDawn]

Maybe Crossroads is their racing term for cross over. This could be them bringing back the other Sega IP's.

Because shadow is whats selling rn.
Why talk about sonic in SxS:G when shadow exists?

(Totally a tale from my ass but that is kinda why i think that)

The name of the game is Sonic Racing, not Shadow Racing. Regardless of whats selling, it makes no sense. It would make sense as usual to put both of them as rivaly racers.

While i agree, sega is definitely circle jerking nearly everything to be shadow related right now.

Once the movie comes out and the hype dies down they'll probably put out another proper trailer

Great series, All-Stars Racing Transformed is the GOAT kart racer. I'm interested, assuming it's still Sumo Digital making it, but cross-gen in 2025 is a big fat oof.

 

[RoboFu]

I was just thinking the other day that it's a shame they wouldn't do another one because of team racing so this is a nice surprise.

 

[Zephyranthes]

Hoping Sumo gets the time and budget to do it right this time; Team Sonic Racing was a major letdown after ASR and Transformed.

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

Always happy to see more karting games. Hopefully with the franchise being on a hot streak it gets a decent budget. Sonic Racing Transformed is second only to MK8D as my favourite ever karting game.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I mean all star racing transformed is super good, but that one is also sonic AND SEGA, not just sonic..

 

[Robb]

Is this a new thing or part of the "All-Stars Racing" series?

I'd love new multiplayer kart racer. The past all-stars games were great.

 

[DeVeAn]

I appreciate the new "thing" for every release but Transformed was pinnacle of mascot kart racer. Team Sonic Racing sucked only for the fact it forces trio teams always.

 

[ShirAhava]

Good on them to let me know Shadow is in the game first so I can skip it

 

[Gambit2483]

I'd rather SEGA bring back All Star Racing Transformed. That's probably the only Kart racing game that ever came close to MK.

 

[Branded]

Hope it's a return to form (Transformed if you will) and not anything like Team Racing.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Maybe Crossroads is their racing term for cross over. This could be them bringing back the other Sega IP's.

it's literally called "CrossWorlds" so yes, it will have characters from other franchises.

 

[nikos]

Definitely picking this up. Hopefully they show more soon.

 

[Little Chicken]

Should've just remade All Stars Racing Transformed.

Here's hoping they just remake MK8 for Switch 2, let's fucking GOOOO

 

[MMaRsu]

Because shadow is whats selling rn.

Which is horrible. Shadow should never have lived past the design stage.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Trying to make Mario Kart 8 for non Nintendo devices.

 

[Astray]

Trying to make Mario Kart 8 for non Nintendo devices.

Honestly a good idea.

You seem to have missed it, but the entire year's marketing has been focused on Shadow.

Transformed was enjoyable and up there with mario kart . I skipped the last one personally i didn't look as good as transformed.

I hope they bring back the flying mechanic for this one cross world could lead to flying mechanics

 

[stickkidsam]

A new Sonic racing game? Count me in! Hopefully they really bring it with the music.

I really wish they'd do a remake of Sonic R, maybe even with a simple cell shaded aesthetic (not necessarily 64bit).

 

[Holammer]

The characters should have been driving small go-karts instead of hiding them in big cars. It puts the character front and centre in the Mario Kart games. But nooooooo.... Sonic is too cool for that.
Since it's a universe where everyone run like a greased lightnin', why not just have them run like they did in Sonic R.

As for the "Why is Shadow everywhere?" thing, they paid good money for Keanu Reeves to voice him, so they need to milk it. It's the year of Shadow!

 

[March Climber]

Because the title and trailer strongly hint at crossover characters. The question is whether it will just be with other Sega I.P. or if they will open the gates, Smash Bros style.
