Less than 2 weeks now until the kart racer genre makes a comeback and we don't have to play zombie Mario kart anymore

TSR/CTR Thread
>zombie Mario Kart
Why not play all three and be thankful its cause Mario Kart stuck around the longest companies still see the genre as profitable?
ALSO BRING BACK DAYTONA DAMMIT
>ALSO BRING BACK DAYTONA DAMMIT
They did.
aaaaa
Check out that badass necro
Buckle up, buckaroos!
I bought Racing Transformed on steam a couple of days back; can't believe I've missed this gem. It really makes me optimistic that TSR won't go the way of recent sonic games. I could still be wrong though.
Glad best cat finally got into one of the Sonic Racing games, Riders aside.
I doubt it will. My only fear is that they don't capitalize on the massive potential they have to expand on the game post launch but neither of the All Stars Racing games did that either unfortunately
Confident that CTR is gonna be better.
BUT
If TSR gets good reception I'll buy it for my Switch. I need more Switch games and it looks fun enough. Also where the fuck is Espio
so are they gay?
WHERE IS SHE BEENOX
There is nothing gay about hugging your bros.
There's always DLC. Seems like, even in the Riders games, Espio and Charmy get the shit end of the stick.
It hurts more when you find out he was scrapped from the original All Stars Racing along with 4 other characters who all got into TSR.
Bandicoots need BIG hugs
i know,but they hug each other too often,next you will see them holding hands
Is it weird I really like playing Kart Racers by myself?
He's gonna be in, right?
I hope sumo keeps their sense of humor and add wacky characters later on. The Team Fortress characters are quite fun. I doubt there will be 3rd party characters this time around but there are plenty of characters in the sonic universe that they could add. Scratch and Grounder would make my day. Also Snivly.
Until CTRNF comes out with online, the only way to play CTR multiplayer is gimpy split screen so that game is best played single player most of the time.
Even still, that game feels so fucking fun. Speed and good controls are enough to make a game exciting.
TSR is going to be great for me.
Transformed is a fun game, but the main gimmick is just not for me. The boats and planes just bring it down.
If Zem is in, I don't see why N.Trance wouldn't be.
I doubt we'll get much in terms of wacky picks but if they did a team based around the cartoons, I would be open to it
Sticks wouldn't be too far fetched since she's been in one of the Olympic games already and was designed by Sonic Team.
>tfw preordered both
eat your heart out pumber boy
His kart is in the game, of course he's in.
All Mario has this year is the mobile Mario Kart that we know literally nothing about.
This is the only thread in a while that was actually easy to find
Nothing will ever be as good as transformed.
Those tracks, setpieces, roster, music. It's all executed perfectly.
Fair enough, it's just that the game comes out pretty soon so it's weird to me they've revealed characters like Zem and Zam but not N. Trance.
I'm just gonna wait here for
They havent even shown N.Tropy yet so I wouldnt lose hope yet
Also Im pretty sure a French article a while back confirmed all the playable racers in CNK were in CTRNF anyway.
I imagine they could be saving some reveals for later. We still have 2 months.
They could easily make her be a placeholder on one of the DLC teams then. Maybe with Espio and Charmy
>30FPS
Why the FUCK is TSR still not on the ps store?
I want to pay and just wait for release. Just watching the same videos of people playing on easy and crashing into walls is nowhere near enough. They give the game such a bad look.
They were revealed to hype up the Oxide Edition, which unlocks all of the Team Oxide characters immediately - N. Trance was on his own team so it makes sense for him to not be announced there.
So, what's everyones hopes for state of play tomorrow? i hope they finally show a trailer showcasing the og characters that never made it in (tawna/brio/kong/moe/obj_motherfucker)
i want Jak and Daxter as unlockables
Will Tawna have a chance? They removed her from the franchise due to controversy back then and while the people complaining and political climate itself is different, it seems her controversy will still hold.
>tomorrow
So are you lot actually good at these kind of games or are you just excited to try them out. I've never actually played with people from Yea Forums before and these games could lead to some decent lobbies.
I put about 100+hrs into Sega and all stars racing and Transformed each back when they were recently released.
with the slight redesign of her in NST, i think she stills has a chance.
She was in Crash 1 in the NST so why would that stop her from being in CTR?
Still holding out for the fantasy roster
I have a few top 200 records in Transformed, and I can still keep up with the hispanics with 4k+ hours on pc. Unfortunately, about 1/2 of online players are running with maxed out karts.
COPE
I was surprised by all the systems in place. Long shot, reverse shot, reverse long shot, super jump, boost recovery, turbo combos etc. It seems like all you do is accounted for and that's awesome. It gives a sense of accomplishment (fuck EA for ruining this phrase) whatever you do.
And most important, risk boost. Learning to get risk boosts while maintaining and air drift gave such a massive difference in performance.
And most important, risk boost. Learning to get risk boosts while maintaining and air drift gave such a massive difference in performance. There was a lot of god tier stuff in that game so it's a shame it got overlooked cos sonic is on the cover.
Burning depths and skies of arcadia still are easily the best racetracks in the entire genre to this date.
Wtf this is the 3rd fucking time now where aborting a post doesn't do shit and it still gets posted.
which one would be the top???
Yeah that was pretty satisfying. I usually never did the drift in plane mode because it just felt like a hassle and turning seemed like a safer and more effective option for me
This, it would have been easy enough to change that if they had wanted too.
That makes too much sense. Hope he's not locked behind a paywall.
Reminder that apparently the guy behind skies of arcadia cried tears of joy when Sumo showed him the racetrack they made of it. It was kino as fuck desu how everything was getting nuked each lap and you ended up flying through a minefield as battleships were crashing everywhere.
a 30 fps racing game, are you guys serious?
>t. never played a Naughty Dog game
They make the most responsive games in the business
I'm in a lobby now with a bunch of spanish people and it's like their inhuman. Every time I get close to 1st a barrage of ice and drones comes out of nowhere. Every single time in the last 4 races this happened.
My problem with TSR is that there isn't any plans to include DLC characters later on, and 15 characters for a game like this feels a little too small, I wish they would up the roster to 20-25 with DLCs.
I'm still not a 100% sure how they are going to do Thunderstruck without the anti-grav mechanic.
This. Even in their current movie game era, Naughty Dog knows how to make responsive games.
I agree, hopefully they change their minds. If we could get like 9-18 extra tracks and 3-4 teams I can see people actively playing the game for a long time after release
>remake gets announced
>suddenly everyone everywhere is a massive ctr fan who puts hundreds of hours in the original and they say it's the best kart racer ever
>hear stuff about drifting being super technical and stuff about a reserve system
>see a bunch of people making tutorials and stuff cos they are hype for the remake
>"hmm maybe I'll give it a try if people say it's so great"
>buy ctr
>load it up
>my fucking face when
Fucking christ nostalgiafags love to over-exaggerate everything about this game. By all means it's good (except for the courses being pretty boring. Only sewer speedway and the one up in the sky are remotely enjoyable) but the way people talk about it make it sound like some god tier forgotten gem game. The reserve system isn't even something we actually manually use. It's just boosts stacking on top of each other. Why do people feel the need to make 10min long vids for this?
Still gonna get the remake but take the nostalgia goggles off, people.
What do you mean maxed out karts? There's no stats besides the mods, everyone has access to the same shit.
They're probably cheating.
I went back and played Transformed myself the last couple of days to scratch the itch until TSR comes out.
Now that I'm doing it, I'm pretty glad Sonic is getting a kart racer of his own. Considering that he gets top billing above even Sega itself for the All Stars games, they really skimp on the Sonic content.
Same, I think the first one did lean into the Sonic series more (or at least, Heroes) since 9 of the 24 stages are Sonic. While of the 21 in Transformed, only 5 are Sonic themed and only 3 of them are new
>By all means it's good (except for the courses being pretty boring. Only sewer speedway and the one up in the sky are remotely enjoyable)
Based on what metric? I still do not understand this complaint but okay. The game isn't for everyone.
The game gets mountains of praise for it's fluidity of gameplay. It's one thing for all the systems to work and have a palpable skillgap in regards to timing and consistency, but it's another for it to actually feel rewarding and actually feel good to use well. It's not complex at all. Depth isn't supposed to be complex.
And the best part is that it's something that every casual player will feel just by playing the game. It's organic, everyone will come in contact with boost stacking in some way and there is serious rewards to spending a bit of extra time mastering it, and it largely increases the pace of the game for everyone.
I don't see any of the mega autists online. You should be happy just to finish if you don't have a 3 star licence.
They have max speed, acceleration, handling, and boost. You usually have to hit them with items to see if they "modded" their stats. "Cheating" would be item spam or doubling your speed.
>when From buffs miracles
Crash Bandicoot
Is
A
Taz the Tasmanian Devil rip-off.
There, I said it
If i'm going to be honest with you family, I like Skylanders Crash more than N. Sane Crash.
If you have max stats in any more than one category, you're cheating. The best kart mods in the game are 5-1-1-5 and 4-1-1-6, those are static options that many karts have. Vyse, Shadow, Metal, Gilius, Ages, etc. There is no way to get more stat points other than cheating.
Honestly it would surprise me greatly if this wasn't literally the final roster (minus maybe the trophy girl and obj_motherfucker)
They know people want the rest of the forgotten OG crew, they know people want egg and Velo, and Spyro was the one to tease the game to begin with
My fucking God the music, the graphics and the speed is actually good. But I can't forgive the shitty roster Sega. The other games had twice as many characters to pick from. You can't even play with your own avatar in this one.
who the hell are those literally whos at the bottom
so in the new sonic game, is it possible to play solo or are you forced into a squad, also, characters talk a lot, is there an option to mute them
Just more confirmed characters
Vicarious Visions' OC. They're pretty much just filler to pad out the roster.
You can play solo, and turn off the voice clips as well
Post ND characters.
nice, definitely getting this then until CTR
You can play solo and you can mute voices.
That's what Radical turned him into
This to be quite honest desu fampai
Who would you want for TSR dlc? personally I don't think the dlc will be team themed, so just 1 Speed, 1 Tech, and 1 Power per dlc pack
Do we know whether or not CTR will have online racing?
Have sex
>mod
That was one of the first things they announced when it showed up at the Game Awards
No Pasedena no buy.
I'm still going to buy but I want my possum ;_;
I thought I read something about there only being online reading boards, but it could've been an user shitposting.
>Pasedena
Unlikely to happen.
Pic related would be optimal. Not fully realistic, but optimal
Online leader boards*
They would have to be brain dead to omit online multiplayer. Maybe you're thinking of time trials in the nsane trilogy.
You probably completely misread posts that I've made over the past dozen threads.
I want time trials and relic races to have crossplatform online ghost leaderboards in addition to the standard multiplayer race and battle modes.
The first 2 sets don't work because there is no obvious power type character
Goddammit, I came into this thread just to post this exact thing
Well played, I guess I lost that race
Based degenerate hick girl. Love hits hard, poor thing.
youtube.com
To be perfectly fair, you wouldn't want to play as half the characters in the last game. Don't tell me you were excited to get Danica Patrick, Alex Kidd, NIGHTS and Reala as those awful car monstrosities, or Yogscast.
Of course, I still think 15 characters is way too small.
This is hypnotic
Tikal driving Chaos as a car would be a way better version of what they tried to do with NiGHTS in Transformed,
>You can play solo
I'm now both errect and hype. Thank you user.
It's sad that an user has to be the one to tell you this.
Aaron Webber should be actually informing people about the upcoming game in the series he's supposed to be advertising instead of sucking game grump dick 24/7.
I mean, it may have been in a press release from Famitsu or something. But I don't think it's ever been openly stated at any of the live events or in the trailers. It is kinda shit they don't do enough informing of the actual games though. Jap dev twitters are often a great source of information too.
>Storm
>Not the obvious power type for the rogues
Storm is the obvious Power type character, the teams are situated like the roster, Speed at the top and Power at the bottom
They confirmed it awhile ago, but yeah, I agree that they should show it off more. I get that the emphasis is on the new mechanics the game offers but still show all features so people aren't in the dark
I looked at the pic the wrong way, sorry for being retarded
It's all good user, we all make mistakes
Funny enough I had that exact team in mind for Cream. I am not sure who would represent speed and power there though.
The TSR roster is kinda weak, but at least there aren't any version exclusives yet.
I figured Vanilla would be Speed, and Gmerl would be Power
I can't see version exclusives being a thing unless they let third parties in
They were asked if there would be Miis in the Switch version, and they said they wanted parity in the content on all platforms for this one.
That is a shame because I liked using the Miis in the other games, but oh well. Miis have been getting phased out lately anyways
We need a new Tomodachi Life and Miitopia
It's one thing to play as Miis in Mario Kart, but why play the Sega racing game just to play the not-Sega character?
The funny character models and animations, mostly
