I'm curious to see if it's more realistic as opposed to cartoony, and to see how well she fits in.

I imagine she'll look similar to that vyse dude (can't remember his name). As for how well she fits in... I presume Nascar is known for having it's cars transform into fighter planes and battleships during a race?

I'm hoping more than ever that this game has a story mode just so we can hear tons of stilted real-person dialogue.

"OH NO. DR. EGGMAN HAS STOLEN THE COSMIC TIRE THAT GOVERNS ALL RACING IN THE SEGAVERSE. WE MUST STOP HIM."

"Good idea, Danica! Let's blast through at Sonic speed!"

I dunno, guys. This is just so goofy that I can't not love it.

I think this is pretty cool actually once I got over the shock of it...It's a racing game so they've added a NASCAR racer as a playable character. Maybe her inclusion can help boost sales.

wow, i'm actually disgusted by the amount of bitching in this thread, you ask for something new, and different, SEGA/Sumo deliver and suddenly you all go ape shit.

i welcome this bizzare inclusion, a SEGA branded NASCAR is going to be awesome, and they're stretching out to OBSCURE SEGA REFERENCES

grow the fuck up.

Oh yeah excuse me for wanting... Oh I dunno. Sega characters in a Sega game instead of a marketing stunt.

And her car isn't even a SEGA car as much as it is just plastered with advertisements for the game.

[BlueHedgehog92]

O_O seriously, that car is freaking awesome...but... well I don't know, this whole "braking the 4th wall" thing is so...weird

[S0L]

You know, when they pitched us the idea we went 'The fans will go wild...' I think they didn't get what we meant from that though

End of the day she hasn't replaced any SEGA characters, she's an extra and we're very happy with the vehicle design we've done for her, which incidentally isn't the one you might think it is

Glad to hear it wasn't your team's idea, S0L. I knew this would be SEGA's doing I can kinda see the point from a marketing perspective (if SEGA even bother to advertise the game like they should), but she still takes up an extra space that could have gone to another SEGA character/or video game guest character. Also, apparently she's only won 1 race and isn't even that widely known.

[Barry the Nomad]

Thanks for that Steve, people need to chill. Also, I love the tease. What could a Nascar racer race in a SEGA game... hmmm...

[HedgehogBR]

Its ok for me!
But i would like to see more about the game, this is the unique surprise for us?

he's just said, its an Extra and not taking place over any SEGA characters, i'm guessing shes an extra on top of the 26 existing racers

^ Not Sega characters...

I'm sure they're not sacrificing a Sega character in favor of her inclusion.

Edit: Seems S0L already explained.

I know.That's what I meant. Even if the character roster was decided before she was proposed, it's still an extra slot that could have gone to an extra proposed SEGA character/other video game franchise guest character.

[frokenok3]

Well she doesn't replace any Sega character so i think everything is fine now that this has been confirmed.

Good Advertisement Sega.

Car looks awesome!

[Super Soniko]

i'm with Barry, you're all flipping out over this when its an extra to the game... you wouldn't be complaining if it were Hornet now would you? haha
