[Generations (Chaos Warp)]

Transformation-based racing action? HELL YES! ASR was awesome, but this looks so much better then it! Can't wait to see what the Sonic tracks are.

Did you not read the article? It does mention Vyse and Gilius

So no - not just Sonic characters

Just got one question. Does this come out on PC & Vita WITH online? Because then I shall double dip(unless I don't somehow ending up not liking this game...)
Edit: noticed that there was another article which clearly states that's there is gonna be a Vita &PC so nevermind...

Maybe a bit early...

But I hope DLC gets a better representation this time!

[KrazyBean]

If there's one thing that I hope they focus on, is that they sort out the framerate issues which plagued the first one.

Trailer:

BTW, for the PC game will also be given? Excellent.

[BlueHedgehog92]

this is so much win, I can't handle it! Now that's a reveal

It is obvious to say that the first concern for most of us will be the new characters addition, just for a fan thing, but I have to say I'm really intrigued about the game mechanics and mostly the vehicle design, which seems a lot more original. Please, don't leave Eggman's monstertruck behind! That was maybe the best vehicle in the first game!

Really curious on how they'll handle Ryo Hazuki...knowing quite for sure to see him again is very refreshing Dreamcast shaped hovercraft for him?

I really hope for huge number of characters and franchises' rep in stages, as well as some variety in vehicles and extras

characters I want?

ALL THE PREVIOUS +

NiGHTS
Bayonetta
Blaze the Cat
Chaotix
Vectorman ( transfooooormiiiiing)

that's all I really want

[Blue Blood]

Death Egg's back in this game, so I really hope Metal Sonic is too. And this time he'll actually be playable because no more hovercrafts. Same for Tails

[Barry the Nomad]

Vyse has been hard to spot, but here he is in another screen:

I wonder how Opa-Opa will be done this time? Will he just grow parts for driving and swimming and turn into his normal self while flying?

[Tailer]

Man this is gonna be one of a hell of an holiday/Christmas, makes me wanna pass to buy a build a new computer.... hope my pocket can keep up D:.

[Arle985]

I'm kinda afraid that this game won't make it to the States. You know, SoA firing their entire QA and all. I really hope this game makes it over here.

TheSonicShow has a 720p trailer up:

Of course it will. Sonic's in it and the first sold well.

[dabbido]

Just having Vyse in is an epic win! The only thing I dont like too much is Beats new vehicle, sure it looks a bit more like him, but that car was just awesome.

Also I dont see NiGHTS anywhere near the finish line... does this mean? ...

EDIT: Around the 0:48 mark when Sonic goes airborne you can see Vyse to his right, also transforming. Cant see his flight vehicle too clearly though. And wow even Amys car is looking awesome.

[Alex2Beta]

Oh god, S0L returned, a new sequel to the lovely All Stars game, and now I see Vyse.

Mother of god, what else could I ask for in this game!?

That will have absolutely zero impact on whether or not the game gets a US release. They're unrelated matters entirely

[The Eleventh Doctor]

I have a love affair with this game already!
I would like Rouge in a car similar to the one in the SA2 mission. (not trying to bug anyone about characters there, I was just mentioning).

[Barry the Nomad]

I wonder how Opa-Opa will be done this time? Will he just grow parts for driving and swimming and turn into his normal self while flying?

I really think that some racers from the first will not carry over. Perhaps in exchange, we'll see a Fantasy Zone/Space Harrier track. I mean, that sort of track would be a dream for flying. I could see Opa Opa stepping aside for another character, and Opa Opa would chill out as an NPC at a themed track from his own series.

Shadow is pretty much in, he's just too popular with certain fans to not be in. Big, I'm on the fence. He could be in, or could step out for some other Sonic characters like Rouge or Blaze. Billy, I think will be in. As will Amigo and Ulala. Unlikely/uncertain racers are Zobio/Zobiko, Ryo, Jacky/Akira, Chu Chus, Robo/Mobo and Opa Opa. Metal Sonic, given his strong presence this year in Sonic 4, is probably in. Alex Kidd is also probably in, as he was in Tennis as well as the last game and his knack for using different vehicles would work really well in this game.

That will have absolutely zero impact on whether or not the game gets a US release. They're unrelated matters entirely

A preview was held in the US, so it will make it to the states. This game is being touted as a "flagship" title, which matches SEGA's new direction.

[Professor J]

The trailer music sounds scarily like Promises by Nero. No complaints there, but jesus the likeness is uncanny!

I'd be totally fine with Vectorman BEING the vehicle but not sure if I'd want the same to happen to NiGHTS, I know he/she/it *could* fulfill the entire role himself but I don't know... Although flying as NiGHTS would be pretty fucking amazing!

Also, am I the only one who doesn't want a bunch of secondary Sonic characters clogging up the roster, Metal Sonic I'm fine with and Shadow I suppose will unfortunately make it in anyway but Blaze, Rouge, Cream, Chaotix (as much as I love them) ect. I just don't think need to be playable, by all means have them in the background but they do seem a bit... undeserving of playable status.

Also again, dream stage would be Planet Scorch from Ristar, I'm not normally one for fanwanking but racing to that music would be the best thing ever.

[MarcelloF]

Well, hopefully you're wrong. I hope for all the characters from the last game to return.

[Arle985]

Of course it will. Sonic's in it and the first sold well.

Hopefully you're right. I've been looking forward to this since it was first announced and I don't want to be disappointed if it doesn't get a release over here.
