All-Stars Racing Transformed: The Racer Roster Thread

[Indigo Rush]

Mario and Sonic Olympics did that.

That's a crossover variety sports game. We're talking about a relatively streamlined racing game. It's apples and wax oranges.

[PsychoJosh]

Rouge is completely under-appreciated. If there's any Sonic character left I sincerely hope it's her. As a big part of the original Sonic Adventure 2 cast she's all they'd need to fill out every character from that game. I don't like how she's taken a backseat to other characters like Silver lately, getting placed in decreasingly important roles.

I'm hoping for Blaze the cat: female, recent, and very well received

Rouge later as free DLC for who buy SA2

[WarioBone]

Don't shoot the messenger here, but I think some people want Blaze the Cat. That's just what I've heard.

So it turns out that both Vectorman and Ristar are ruled out as playable characters.

Well gee, 2 of the most highly-wanted characters aren't going to be playable. They better damn well get cameo appearances, then.

The hell? When was Ristar ruled out?

[Your Vest Friend]

It was a rumour that apparently started at SegaBits. S0L has since cleared them up on it, so he's not ruled out yet.

[Hersparkidicus Optimaximus]

I'm sure S0L is a sadist who likes to build up hype until the right time to rule something out, otherwise he wouldn't have waited so long to tell us Vectorman wouldn't be a playable character.

[Lady Soniko]

or Vectorman was already confirmed to be in the game as something else but a racer?

[Teoskaven]

Or maybe the inclusion was object of debate for long and the final decision was taken a few hours before SoL gave the announcement?

[Hersparkidicus Optimaximus]

S0L initially said the roster was set in stone, but they've recently stated that it isn't. They can't make up their minds.

[Blue Blood]

No, he hasn't. The roster of tracks and characters is set in stone. It's just not the same piece of stone for all the different versions.

[PSI Wind]

Nah Sonic needs his vehicle (A) to slow him down and make it a fair race, and this time round (B ) it's cos sonic can't fly!

But I thought even without wings, Sonic could still fly :U

[Indigo Rush]

I just had this hilarious imagery of Sonic flapping his arms wildly in the air bumping into Tails' car.

[#EndyGate]

All Sonic would need is his rocket shoes from Sonic Chaos/Triple Trouble :U

[Shaddix Leto Croft]

Screw Miku, Screw Ralph, Screw Vectorman

WE NEED THESE TWO IN ASRT!

[Kori-Maru]

This made me lol

Has anyone played the fifth Sakura Wars on PS2 and Wii? Its the only Sakura Wars game that's been released to the West. I'm up to Chapter 3 and I'm loving every bit of it. In this one, the Star Koubu can transform into flight mode. It's late in the game to be included in Transformed, but it would have been a nice addition to have a female character from Sakura Wars riding a steampunk powered car. Please let there be a JP release for this game.

Who's "we"?

[TheAnvil]

Who's "we"?

Maybe he's secretly Venom.

I honestly cannot think of a character that would work better with the transforming theme than Banjo-Kazooie. Nuts & Bolts was all about transforming your vehicles into land, sea and sky.

I don't understand why people have an aversion to certain characters being included in the roster. I mean their inclusion won't hurt you and you don't have to use them.

[KHCast]

I'd be fine with Orbot and Cubot being apart of Eggmans vehicle or them appearing somehow other than actually being racers. It seems like a waste of space for them to be actual racers. Although I wouldn't care if they made it in.

Maybe so the slots can be filled with characters they actually like?

One:lots of people LIKE Orbot and Cubot as characters.

and Two: Not everyone is going to get the characters they want or like. So they'll have to deal with it.

I'm not saying I want Orbot and Cubot In the game. I'm just saying that it wouldn't ruin the game.

Neither of those stop anyone from wanting things. Obviously, not everyone is going get everything they want, but they can still want some characters over others.

And why does it matter if a lot of people like Orbot and Cubot? There's a lot who don't like them, too.
