Team Sonic Racing - Upcoming Sonic Racing Game

[Blueknight V2.0 637]

Yeah, I've been listening to Ice Mountain for at least a few hours. It's that good. Sonic music is still great.

[Psycho_Jack 1,818]

I noticed 3 things about some of the returning tracks:

Spoiler

Whale Lagoon: they added a cool shortcut you can't find on the map, with crabmeats in it.

Pinball Highway: now there are a couple of bouncing balls on the Pinball route along with those bumpers.

Bingo Party: they removed that weird fiches shortcut but added obstacles and the path is now with Green Hill theme.

Pretty cool.

Apparently, the Final Egg remix we heard in the customization trailer is used in one of the returning Final Fortress tracks from All-Stars Racing, probably Dark Arsenal. Kinda lame. It would've been better to actually have a track based on Final Egg... Oh well. At least the remix is rad. 

There's also a remix of Final Fortress itself.

No one has upload Sky Road's music yet, I'm curious.

These were some nice interviews where we see the characters's personalities.

They also added a shortcut with an invincibility box in Ocean View. I haven't seen Dark Arsenal but I'm hoping they also improved that one as it's the track that needed it most. I really appreciate them adding those shortcuts. It's not much but it's something.

It is god tier. The best piece of ost in this game and that's saying something. It also has a neat little surprise in it.

Did anyone manage to confirm what is the final track of Final Fortress ?

In other news (before it leaks anyway), the latest of the team interviews they've been doing may actually have dropped a hint towards Do Donpa's true nature:

Silver: In fact, this kind of machines were used in my era too... I wonder how Dodon-Pa obtained such technology...

Are they actually bringing Nega back?

 

A hint nothing. The following narration is pretty damn overt in it's talk.

 

I haven't really been keeping up with these things, but if this one is anything to go by, I'm kinda mixed. On one hand, it is legit cool to see this type of character driven thing being done and it can sometimes help give a little more definition with some of the lesser utilized characters. On the other, since it is directly translated, you can't help but notice how half of that stuff is awkwardly worded and sometimes a bit "This makes me feel angry."

 

I'm most curious about the Team Eggman one for a number of reasons. With that said, I couldn't help but notice the folowing narration compared Team Rose as almost two teams in one and then contrast Team Eggman as the reverse. What's that about?

 

Who is SS, btw?

 

Oh and one more thing

You better apologize to Lost Palace right this instant : P The Casino Park remix is really addictive as well, it's all just that good.

Nothing on the Final Fortress tracks yet..there's some tracks that would fit Egg Hangar, but they could as well be used for "boss" races or Turbine Loop, I guess. At this point I'll probably just wait to find out myself, which should be very soon. It's weird how those tracks seemingly aren't part of Grand Prix though.

I think you wouldn't have liked the Google translation.

It's less bothering me so much as making me question that word choice.

Still, what does that say?

Lost Palace is second tho 😜. Hmm I guess we'll still have to see about the missing tracks.

Well, at least Espio and Charmy got mentioned.

Sigh

I keep forgetting Omochao is technically the character for Team Rose's technique spot, btw. 

Granted, I haven't actually been paying that much to this game's content beyond the team discussion, but you know

Also, I'm noticing that Big uses honorifics and has the ~ symbol a lot. What's that about?

[Blueknight V2.0 637]

I heard Sky Road & Clockwerk Pyramid earlier. And I'm really impressed.

The honourifics is probably to be polite, but the tilde is to prolong a sound. Where we might do “Ah...” as “Ahhh...,” would happen as “あ…” being ”あ〜…“

It’s different with things like shouting that we might do as “AAAAA”, because that becomes “あああああ” instead.

In a nutshell, it’s just standard writing.

Your reply came just as I was about to post something else.

[Marco9966 1,069]

I saw some clips, dialogue is not bad, I might get this game.

Sidenote: did anyone fill SEGA's Sonic Forces survery last year? Did you tell them you wanted better stories?

[FFWF 4,447]

Those in-character interviews are actually surprisingly enjoyable.

[Blueknight V2.0 637]

1-more TSR video before launch anyone?

I’m still a little sad that there seems to be no  secret characters/tracks. I kinda expected something like Classic Sonic or Dodonpa itself and Radiant Emerald as the ultimate R reference. Heck, not even Eggpawn which is actually ready.

Nothing... there’s still hope for DLC’s...

I know this is a huge leap, but imagine if this game sells well enough we could have  a massive Expansion a la Ultimate Team Sonic Racing with 15 more characters and 15 more stages. No way huh? 😂

[StellarBlur 59]

I don't understand why Egg Pawn isn't an extra 16th playable character than can be any of the 3 classes. It just doesn't make sense to me. His car and model are in the game and since he's a robot he doesn't require them to do much voice work, just use egg pawn sound effects. Sure, perhaps they don't want to implement customization for him but I personally would have been fine with him not having it tbh.

Because SEGA probably didn't put much money on this game...

But at least they used what money they had pretty well. Think of this as Pretty Patties as opposed to the Krabby Land that was Sonic Forces.
