Cunt, you made me spit my drink out of my mouth.

 

[PJX]

It looks like they learnt their lesson from Team Sonic Racing and are going back to Transformed style (still the best Kart racer ever imo).

(also,some datas are already superior to Shadow gen on steam)

Grabbing this for Miku

I already want to buy it, and this is great news. Hatsune Miku will be my character in the game... Or maybe Sonic.
This game is a good match for Mario.

I wish Mario was a guest in the Switch 2 version.

Xbox Maybe Gears of War or Master chief and the warthog

[EntelechyFuff]

Any opinions on how the gamefeel differs than past Sonic racers?

I missed the demo, but Sumo Digital really landed on something special. Sega has racing chops, obviously, but I gotta imagine there are differences.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

It looks genuinely great, cool to see Joker and Ichiban. September is super stacked with releases though, will grab eventually

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Awesome, that's what I needed to get on board.
Skipped Team Racing, just wanted another Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed and this looks like it will scratch that itch.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Day one for me

 

[Fat Frog]

 

[Dzab]

If it plays and feels anything like Transformed, I'm buying it

I do hope they lean into the Sega classics more; Sega Ages, the classic characters and game tracks, the remixes were all so good in Transformed.

 

[Liopleurodon]

This definitely looks impressive.

Sonic Racing: Crossworlds Is Closer To Stealing Mario Kart World’s Crown Than You Might Think

I wasn’t that interested in Crossworlds before, but a tour of its Grand Prix modes has me just as excited as I was for Mario Kart World.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds hands-on preview — Gotta drive fast!

Standing apart in the kart-racing genre!

gamingtrend.com

Another great preview
'Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds feels amazing to play with fun tracks, multiple ways to play, and plenty of customization. The recently announced additional characters of Hatsune Miku, Ichiban Kasuga, and Joker will make things fun and interesting'

 

[Hudo]

I think Hatsune Miku actually fits in quite well. Much more than Joker and Ichiban, at least.

 

[Sephiran]

I'm impressed. This is like the only third party game that is getting ported to Switch 2. Sega are the only company actually using the Switch 2 devkits Nintendo sent over, all other devkits are just gathering dust.

 

[Togh]

Looks much faster than MKW. That's what I want from a arcade racer. Speed!

 

[TintoConCasera]

Aren't they forgetting about someone?

Game looks pretty cool. Ichiban is ok but I think Joker sticks out way too much lol. Wonder who else will be in the game.

 

[Danjin44]

I kinda agree especially 3D model for Joker is not great here, it would be better if giving more cell shaded look to him.

This, his the true mascot for Atlus.

Yeah, Joker sucks ass.

Yup . Shining's Yogurt would be cool as well

I played Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds for an hour and its chaotic item-based destruction reminded me of how fun it is to be bad at a kart racer

[Roman Empire]

I still wish Crash Team Race Nitro Fueled did better in terms of connectivity and current-gen support because not MK or SR get to breakneck speeds where you can't make mistakes if you want to win online. Still, this is a day 1 purchase.

 

[Fat Frog]

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.

Long term support . No more half baked TSR

It's too bad nobody tried to do Soul Calibur 2 style exclusive characters again.

 

[tamago84]

We have Mario kart world at home

looks neat

 

[existensmaximum]

Meh. I bet it won't even feature a blue shell to punish you last second for driving flawlessly

 

[Lokaum D+]

I know i m old but who dafuk is this Miku and why is she so popular?

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

She is a virtual idol and has pretty songs, her futuristic style attracts a lot of attention.

I have a Switch and PSP game, I also went to a concert, which was good.

 

[touchfuzzy]

Only $90 USD to get all the content, Sega always trying to one-up Nintendo.

$90 is a little steep to get the bonus characters, but I remember Transformed being pretty good so might pick up around holiday sales.

Yeah, there are discounts all the time.

You can often buy Sonic Transformed on Steam with all the DLC for 5€

That's what I've been telling everyone about all these price hikes. There will be discounts.

That jab at MK World. SEGA!!!

Nice Yakuza representation but that wasn't my man Kiryu.

Just let the man retire already, he's been carrying yakuza for 20 years now lmao.

Maybe he's in but didn't see Kiryu.

NEVER!

Damn, I might actually be interested in a kart racer for the first time since CTR.

Sonic Racing dev calls out Mario Kart World

It’s true, Mario Kart World is a Switch 2 exclusive

"Still polishing the car physics", thank goodness, it didn't feel particularly good to play in the beta in my opinion.
It wasn't bad but it was weird.

Yeah, don't worry. Initial D team always make open beta to improve their games. They did it with Initial D for years...


Initial D team is not joking (we're talking about creators behind Sega Rally, Stars Wars Racer arcade...they're ELITE devs) and as you can see all Crossworldd previews are fantastic.
I think i'll create a thread in the subject.

I like ID but the beta here was a bit weird, but I remain hopeful. If they get it fun like ID3 or 5, that'd be nice.

 

[Miles708]

I didn't particularly like the beta but I'm hopeful they'll be able to improve it for the release.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

The victory ahead of time goes to Hatsune Miku.

The race champion

I hope so. The beta felt so off and considering all the OGs are working on this it wasn't making sense.
