Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed...!

[Marcello]

Sumo sure loves making it as annoying as possible to unlock characters, huh? xP

[Cola]

Game's out on Android.

 

It's not compatible with my Droid 3, which I expected. But, it's also incompatible with my little brother's Galaxy S3, which is weird.

[Ming Ming Hatsune]

The game is incompatible with most android devices anyway, considering the aspect ratio and crash issues.

[Gabz Girl]

Pretty sure Ryo will be in the PC version. Why else would they make an HD model? Obviously not for nothing.

We have the Xbox360 version of Transformed and it's so, so, so disappointing that every DLC character has only been available on the PC version. My laptop isn't powerful enough to run the game, so I'm just hoping all this DLC will come to the consoles soon. Shenanigans if Ryo is on,y on iOS and PC!

[Da Blu Hedgie]

Here's something crazy the game is showing up as compatible for my atrix 2, then again my phone shows up as incompatible for more power hungry games like gta 3 and vc...even though they run perfectly fine, still holding out for some sonic dash compatibility.

[Badnik Mechanic]

Oh my god...

 

[S0L]

I thought it was a shop, but it's real!

 

Proper LOLLED at that.

 

I see no one has worked out my grass post either

Grass post?

Ohhhhhhhhh!

 

If I could talk about, which I can't, I would suggest that maybe the plan was to release a certain character on more than the mobile version on the same date. And then I might suggest that concievably that the plan may have to had change because a few alterations were requested which in turn require time and testing to ensure they were done correctly.

But I can't really talk about that as you know.

Don't spin everything into a conspiracy theory. There is a tendancy to try a fill a void of no information, when really all you may need to do is a little research. There are enough messages out there to piece the truth together if you know how and where to look.

In the meantime, here is a nice picture of some grass to pass the time.

Are they adding this guy to the game?

Grass... Might it be something to do with someone who didn't "make the cut"?

Clutching at straws, I know, but it's the only thing that comes to mind.

[Badnik Mechanic]

The only thing I find of interest is that if you google grass or even green grass then that particular image doesn't show.

Grass is always greener on the other side?

Anyone know any Sega characters who have something to do with gardens? Plants?

Well, Silver's head looks like cannabis

[Detective Shadzter]

Inspector Shadzter has never played a Shenmue game, but he's been investigating. 
 
In Shenmue on Dreamcast:

After 7pm, you have to go to a patch of grass at the Wakaba Apartments in Dobuita. This is on the path from Sakuragaoka nearest the You Arcade

http://www.gamefaqs.com/dreamcast/198621-shenmue/faqs/15626
 
The You Arcade features 2 of Ryo's S&ASRT arcade games, though the jukebox plays the OutRun theme.

You Arcade is a popular arcade owned and run by Yuji Nito on Dobuita Street. There are two toy capsule machines outside and Ryo can play arcade games here for ¥100 per credit. There is also a Jukebox here.

Games that can be played here:

• Darts 7
• Neo Darts
• Space Harrier
• Hang On
• QTE Title
• Excite QTE 2

S0L mentions alterations, so I reckon Ryo's land vehicle is being changed to one of those other games or a capsule machine.

[Teoskaven]

The only clue i have is that Grasshopper Manifacture (you know, Suda51 company) co-developed the 2 Shining Soul games.

But even i am not sure about this: i mean, the 2 Shining Soul not only are not considered canon, but they're not very good games either.

[Badnik Mechanic]

Inspector Shadzters awesome theory

 

Those toy machines also have Sega characters in them.

 

Also in Shenmue, the other arcade has the other game/cabinet car form that Ryo drives.

[Detective Shadzter]

Those toy machines also have Sega characters in them.

Exactly my point

 

You GAME Arcade

Like the Abe Store, there is a "Virtua Fighter Kids" and a "SEGA" capsule dispenser, as well as collectible prizes from arcade games.

Urgh, they better not replace OutRun. That would be a shitty move.

[w00tkins]

wait

 

Grass...lawns....lawnmowers!

 

oh my god you guys

 

 

 

[Faseeh]

*insert text*

 

 

These stuff are free so I don't this is warranted. They're giving us extra stuff and the only thing that costed so far is Yogcast. People who didn't care, didn't get it. 

 

This game still holds the same place to me as it did on release. A real great arcade racer, which tends to get too difficult sometimes. They added more characters and that makes me happy but if they added some characters I don't care about, I won't get so enraged as many people here. Sure it's a slot wasted, but some people may be pulled into the game and that'll help in the long run anyways. I mean it's funny that Yogcast got in but hey, spending hours ranting? naaaaaaah.

Thats a good one, the 2 that I can think of that he mentioned was Vectorman and Sketch turner, I would say vectorman is most likely, as that would take plently of time to get working

 

and also Nack had a capsule in shemnue, and he didnt make the cut in the dlc competitioin by a bit partialy due to time,

or it could be reffering to billy hatcher

[Solly]

Grass.....Okay. Ya listinin'?

 

Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and brotha?

Thats the exact opposite of what S0L was saying, specialy since it started as IOS, and he said it was coming to all consoles

Grass...lawns....lawnmowers!

 

oh my god you guys

 

The lawnmower got me thinking, and I'm pretty sure it means they're adding the most requested character of all...

You guys are all wrong. The answer was right in front of us the entire time!!

 

 

Land = Mow
Sea = Wash
Air = Fan

 

Genius

But oh! You say we need a driver, don't you? I mean NiGHTS and Reala needed little twats to hitch a ride, so this guy couldn't get away with it! And I bet the rest are you screaming that this has nothing to do with SEGA! Well, I've got news for you, cuz this little bastard is based on certain someone:

 

Pulseman DLC confirmed!

[goku262002]

So basically from what I'm getting is that they are changing 1 of the vechicle forms for some reason.

What? did SEGA get ticked over the Shenmue 3 license plate or something?
