お医者さんありがとう
i wish i had money for it
>In a world with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe he plays a subbar game
Man i feel bad for you
thanks doc
Havent fucked around with customization much, I really dont like the gacha system
Its already bad enough that its... you know... a gacha system and not just a shop/garage type system but the gacha balls themselves can just spit out items instead of parts
at least this game has a mission mode. Nintendo really keeps dropping the ball not bringing it back from DS.
Always love when these retards come to the ASRT and STR threads who clearly havent played either
I based it on the Cyclone from Drift, since I can't really recreate the old versions of the Speed Star.
I'm so bored of Deluxe and already mastered the mechanics. Honestly with a couple more characters/teams and a good amount of extra stages, I would drop MK8 in favor of TSR
Thanks Doc(tor Eggman)
haha le doctor
At the very least you never get something you can't use
The items give you bonuses for a race and stack up. But a better way to handle it would have been to have a Ring based shop for car parts and have mod pods be used for bonus boxes
>kartfags can't make anime liveries
Just playing through the singleplayer right now
I like that you can slightly change the shades of colors with the different paint styles
Part of me wishes you could make the All Stars Racing versions of the returning vehicles and even save the loadouts you make and swap between them on the fly. Or mix and match paint kits, unless you can do that and I'm just a brainlet
>Go online for quick match
>Find two people
Wow!
My assumption is that many people are going through the story mode, and unlocking or experimenting with car parts
That's what I've been doing so far. Did one quick match online on day 1, then spent the rest of my time in story and time trial. Currently gravitating towards Chao as my main.
For now I'm likely going to main Sonic or Blaze, maybe just Sonic but I've yet to try out everyone
Imo i find the challenge cage to fit better
Any tips for playing this on hard and expert? My team always lags behind even when i'm spamming them with items.
Sky Road, Haunted Castle and Lost Palace are pretty cool tracks. I want to like the Casino Park tracks more but god damn are they really visually noisy and some of the music is fucking trash.
I'll give it another look then
Most of the new stages are really good and a majority of the recreated ones are superior to the original versions, if you ask me
Decided to change it, does look a bit closer I suppose but may change it back
Try your best to stick by them
>AI teammate behind me
>He slingshots off me
>Gives me skimboost
>Slingshot off him
>Give him a skimboost
>Almost does it again but misses the skim by a little
Kind of wish this was more popular now since that sounds like big brain plays
Looks good user.
>tfw can't line up my slingshot boost with my teammates online because they keep swerving all over the place
I always like those moments. People may still shun this game for not being Transformed, but it definitely has its own merits and learning curve to make it feel different enough
Thanks user. Any idea what paint kits fit Knuckles and Big well? I don't want to use their defaults and Hydrocity's color choices don't really work, in my opinion
>skimboost when already travelling top speed
i am confusion
Why is this game so fucking hard
Vector hot rod.
I'd say a purple palette works for Big, for Knuckles.... No clue.
Ancient Echidna Knuckles. This one is probably my favorite.
Maybe it was just the maximum boost from the slingshot. Don't entirely remember.
my one issue is that the texture makes the red look lighter than it actually is
i wonder what it'd look like with a less reflective one
Tropical sunset Sonic.
Based. Mine's basically the complement to that one
Neat. It feels the most appropriate for Sonic I feel.
Thanks user, I might try Blaze's kit then
Decided to apply rough plastic instead, any better?
Anyone have the sponsor vinyl by any chance? Kinda curious what it looks like
Yeah, you can skimboost the person in front of you if you get lucky with the slingshot
A hot rod for a hot boi
The controls are wonky to get used to.
Can barely skim the bronze medal on 1-5 and I mastered the other sonic racing games.
Same, game looks really fun, wish I could play it right now.
ehhh
it still looks pale, but not worse
go with whatever you feel like but dont forget to experiment
Because your Team AI sucks dick, while the opponent AI is set to bullshit rubber banding almost all of the time.
It's a much stricter game than ASRT is. The karts are heavier and don't turn as easily, they've got a bit more momentum to the turning so you can't just wobble left and right as well. Not to mention the boosting is more punchy and short so you can't cheese sections as much. It's definitely a change, but the focus on more grounded driving skill feels really good once you get used to it IMO.
Will do, still trying to settle on one, already got Tails and finally decided on a Knuckles set up
i wonder if its possible to grind for parts, max out handling on a technique driver, then ace ring race and daredevil challenges
relatedly i still have little clue as to what the symbols for each kind of part mean
durability/top speed/handling or something?
I think so yeah, lightning bolt parts seem to increase defense, middle section looks like a speedometer, and the third icon looks like a steering wheel and they seem to affect handling
The closest you're going to get is Silver, no one can max it out fully. The icons mean boost, speed, and handling for the most part. They don't actually directly relate to stats, more just what that part probably leans towards, although each character sways what each part does by some amount.
Don't mind the clown car, Silver is just shit so he deserves it.
I've got platinum on every ring challenge, daredevil, etc in the first 3 Chapters. I've mainly used Sonic and Shadow along with high speed/handling
dammit, i always thought the speedometer looked like a wave or a curved road, i must be blind
but dude, that's one fuckin rad car design, no joke
does everyone in this game have a middle mouth?
Yes.
I gave him a Wildberry Pop-Tart car because the Glacierland color kit reminds me of that flavor of Pop-Tarts
It's a flaming wheel, you numbskulls.
Ah ok, couldn't tell
yano i got pic related a few days before TSR came out to practice and im finding they've got a lot in common
cornering is based on braking, customization is extensive albeit in grip its only cosmetic and both are more focused on straight up skill than items
worth playing if you got the dosh
So I’m not the only one. Sometimes the opposing time would be miles away before me at the start of the race, even with weak boosts
wait, you mean the best track time?
the car is supposed to be ahead of you since he's got the momentum from his previous lap
It feels like a lot of the mods in this game have terrible stats. Most characters only have 1 good build and every other part they get might as well not exist.
Shill me it. Why should i bother?
Anyone appreciate stages that let you cross into other pathways seamlessly? Really makes this game feel like a true Sonic game.
Bring back the americans writers
>not dickbatmobile from SA2
Why
We've had american writters since Colors.
I don't entirely agree, each character will usually have a couple directions you can push them in and mixing and matching parts gets you there. Each character will have like a specialty stat that they typically have more of than other characters and you can usually get close to if not actually maxing it out, you can choose to go in on usually either speed or boost, or you can buff up on defense/handling. There's gonna be different focuses depending on the character and their class, but there's a decent amount of stuff you can mess around with.
Why is bootleg Sonic so ugly?
I've yet to get all the parts for her, but I'm sure you can make something similar looking to it
You can unlock up to 270 car parts to personalize each character and experiment with the stages as well as decorate and paint them with a variety of different color combos, the rewarding mechanics and overall fun gameplay help a lot. Just needs more characters and new stages, really
The writing in this game seems to subtle (By Sonic standards anyway) to be Pntac and graff. Like whole paragraphs about whether Dondonpa is working for Eggman and whether they should opt out of the competion when they could have easily just have walked into a trap or been complete idiots.
>playing sonic 2 when you have video mania
what a dweeb
Get in that damn Chaos Emerald, Shinji.
>not playing Hymen
>Just needs more characters and new stages, really
basically this
i know its a budget title but goddammit if there isnt loads potential for dlc here
and it aint the smash bros kind of dlc, all that's needed is internal modelling, voice work, animations and stat tweaking; all simple stuff compared to the loads of legal junk and interfacing that could be dealt with
SURPRISE DOC OUTTA NOWHERE
>you can choose to go in on usually either speed or boost
Ideally you're supposed to get both high, not one or the other. The best characters have mods that easily let them get both to a decent amount. Taking a large amount of points out of either weakens you a lot.
So how does unlocking parts actually works? There is no way it's random given I got every part for Sonic team first, one after the other.
Nah, Sonic still acts like a complete douche and with lines like "Oof! Epic Stunt Fail!" and "Who's your daddy, Shadow?" it's definitely a Pontac and Graff game.
Pretty much. Just fill in the gaps the base roster left, add in the last few ASR stages that aren't in this plus a decent amount of new ones, and we have the ultimate Sonic universe racer
It's mostly random from the looks of it, but I think it caters to whatever characters you use most, which promotes you to use everyone
I've heard you can play the single player mode in co-op just like Transformed, but can you play it in co-op over the internet? Or does it only work in split-screen?
Pushing both for a lot of characters usually puts you at mid tier for both. It would be nice to bump both but it's not always an option.
I love MK8 but I have played it so much that I want to try something different. If only they would drop some dlc for MK8 Deluxe.
Only in split screen
Ahh so that's why. Gotta be the story mode the reason I got team sanic first. Gotta finish solo Grand Prix with other teams on Normal to get a feel of the tracks then.
I honestly feel it does the opposite. Now that I have them, I kinda don't want to use a Tech character without a Speed part set.
>"Who's your daddy, Shadow?"
that's tails who says that
the thing is which characters constitute gaps
cream and the rest of the chaotix, for sure, but would team babylon or other sega protags like billy hatcher or nights qualify, i wonder
>that's tails who says that
and?
>that's tails who says that
And that makes it less cringe inducing why?
>255 playing now
>755 today's peak
>971 all-time peak
OH NO NO NO NO NO NO
sorry, im blind
i thought that user said that was sonic's line
I hope so. Haven't played a Riders game but having the Babylon Rogues drive hover cars akin to Opa Opa in the first game would be nice. Wouldn't mind getting a few SEGA characters back in as well
For me I have every part as Sonic, who is my most used. So maybe it is just random chance and nothing more
>PC count
Count all of the consoles
Nigger, I've been playing Mario Kart 8 for five fucking years. This is also good, and it's fresh.
I'd never turn down a good new FPS just because I already play TF2.
Have to wonder what the numbers are
Most everyone I know who gave a shit about the game got it for Switch, and my friend who I was playing with launch day got the PS4 version (but was playing it on my Switch
>nothing like this on the ps4
>suddenly gets 2 games in one month
Sega should have pulled this for the summer with more 3 characters and City Escape as a track
>Sega Kart racers were never that popular on pc anyways
?
I'm 100% convinced you're actually a falseflagging Sony astroturfer at this point. No one can be that lacking of self-awareness with a straight face.
>City Escape as a track
Would prefer Radical Highway or another SA2 stage myself. Maybe do a day, sunset, and night stage like they did for Rooftop Run
God, those shipping teases with Sally, for as innocent as it was back then, give me mad Penders PSTD
>City Escape
>Speed Highway
>Perfect Chaos
Transformed was pretty much the same at launch
And before you mention those two spikes in July and December during those two months transformed was free to play for a week and reduced by 75% as part of a promotional sale
Sega Kart racers were never that popular on pc to begin with
Could work, but I think City Escape is an entirely different city to Station Square. Unless they did some one off stages, like Egg Hangar
>Sega Kart racers were never that popular on PC to begin with
>PC got all the DLC characters while consoles only got Metal Sonic
Well, they made Sand Hill be right next to King Boom Boo's pyramid instead of the Mystic Ruins.
They could fudge City Escape into being a part of Station Square. They're both coastal cities anyway.
Good point. Got any ways of working in the leftover ASR stages? While it would mean we would get a 4th Seaside Hill track, it would also be nice to have all the stages from those games in this one.
noo ;(
HOW DO I GET THE FUCKING PLATINUM MEDAL HOLY FUCK
EVEN NORMAL MODE KICKS MY ASS
Uhm, yes they are. That's where all the community for ASRT was and still is.
Good
Well, that sucked.
but that's precisely wrong
can you make this for vector?
>look who's pellin' out!
certainly not an american
You can make something close to it I'm sure
>tfw what ASRT needed was a good modding scene
What in the fuck?
I wonder if they could get away if an ad like this nowadays?
I have to wonder why there weren't any Transformed mods. Seemed like the perfect type of game for it
>meme aids
>Yikes!
what else am I missing?
Deep Fried Twinkies
I thought it was just an american thing.
After googling it, it seems so.
>900 max players online
What went wrong, bros?
Also, why the fuck is ps4 the only one where you can team up with your friends?
>release a barebones game that has nowhere near as much of a content as the previous base games and people are walking away
>future dlc depends on how much the people are invested
I'm afraid, bros.
Absolutely disgusting
here's your chilidog, bro.
That's a corndog you fuck
Don't post this guy's videos ever again
Can you paint the legendary parts?
you're acting like you don't get 500 billion fucking coins from just playing the game and that the gacha isn't weighted to give you parts for the character you've been recently playing as.
I literally got all of Tails' parts while I don't have any for Team Dark or Eggman.

WITH YOU WITH YOU WITH YOU WITH YOU
All I wish is that the last 3 parts actually did anything
>you got LEGENDARY X
>it's just a gaudy gold version of X with no stat differences
Damn, this shit bops.

>Ally AI
>let me drive uhhhhhhhhhhh against the wall lol did you want to slingshot?
If i buy the game now and sega decides to pull the Yakuza and remove denuvo later on, will it be removed automatically or will i have to do it manually?
it's automatic since it's an update.
It gets removed automatically via an update.
No. They're just gold painted variants of the parts you already acquired.
SOUL 40
thanks doc
Is this as good as ASRT
No, but it's still a good kart racer.
how can other racing game even compete?
It's apples and oranges
TSR has entirely different mechanics. I like ASRT more but TSR stands up on its own just fine and is a great game in its own right
What female characters are in this game?
I really thought it was gonna be shit, and if I played it, I’d probably still get mad it isn’t ASRT 2.
So I guess I’m glad it’s not a shit game to people who aren’t jaded as fuck
Thank you for the good news

I don't get it.
i'd believe this if they said they weren't doing DLC
I had no idea the game even came out lol, thought it was still a ways off.
forgot Tails
It's called just using the non legendary versions. There's no statistical difference, the legendary bit is just them being gold.
You can't even put vinyls on the damn things.
>they weren't doing DLC
Comedy gold
What makes you think otherwise?
Please persuade me, im begging you. I WANT there to be DLC.
>Still believing there'll be no DLC because of some corporate doubletalk
They very carefully never said they weren't doing DLC. They said they weren't taking content out of the base game to sell as DLC, they said they had no plans for DLC. They never once said it would never happen.
Transformed is better
>make DLC bait game
>character select screen have obvious empty space
>Sega won't make DLC
???
It's probably the audio. The game has a lot of voice acting for the races as well as the story mode, and the voice acting is also available in multiple languages. The game also has a large soundtrack.
>“So there are two things I want to talk about for Team Sonic Racing real quick, because I think they’re important to talk about. The first is DLC. And there were a couple of options, and option one was to essentially take content and sell it as DLC later and that was not something that I think the team wanted to do. The team is in a case – and I kind of prefer this – which is just all the content that’s gonna be in the game is there right at launch. So we’re not going to charge you like 3 bucks later for characters that were cut out of the game or anything. It’s all there. And you’ll unlock everything as you’re going through."
idk bros, it very clearly says it's all there in the game, though, i WANT you guys to be right.
Sounds to me like just updates with new chars instead of paid dlc by the wording user.
He's saying they are not doing mortal kombat 11/Injsutice 2 dlc gouging, but he also doesn't say that there might not be dlc made after the 100% complete games ships, several months down the line.
Would SEGA do that though? They only made Super in Forces free cause everyone bitched.
I want to believe in free characters here, but it's SEGA. You guys REALLY think its happening? Or do you hope its happening?
JUST
give me Vanilla
This is the exact corporate doubletalk I was reffering to. He poses the question of DLC, then doesn't actually answer it, instead talking about selling things that were cut out of the base game exclusivly. He never says one way or the other what they plan to do for DLC in general, just a denial of one particularly hated form of it.y bet, Sega told them outright they're expected to make DLC if the game is successful and they're expected to drop support as quick as possible if not. That way Sega only spends money on DLC if it's worth the effort, plus Sumo can honestly say they didn't cut anything out of the base game to sell to you.
I've been playing Outrun 2006 lately and I loved Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed. Is this anywhere as good? PS4 or Switch version?
TICK TOCK PLUMBER BOY
woah, PSX btfo
>"I want to play Rouge and Metal"
>takes like three chapters to unlock Rouge
>"Oh well, at least Metal will be next"
>doesn't unlock until the end of the campaign
Mildly upset
I agree that the rooster is lacking slightly, but then again, it can always be worse.
How does one unlock paints kit? I still lack 7 of them and spent like 1k credits rolling nothing all day. .
it's weird that if this was a legit love interest to sonic in the movie verse everyone would be ok with the design.
Me too. Even the slightest stat changes would be appreciated
Are consoles just as dead? I’m still under 2 hours on pc and online is dead as fuck
It feels like its own thing in some ways but controls are very similar to Transformed
I think some are obtained from story mode
they got like 80% of modern sonics friends were only missing cream and espio and charmy and the rouges to name a few
Give SlipStream a try
Howin heaven did you Platinum the ring challenges? I have plat the rest of the game and finished every mission and cup in expert but can't go higher than silver in ring challenge....
Memorize the maps, git gud at drifting into rings, do not ignore the ramp rings, drift into those to
chain boosts from drifts and the pads
Unironically better than TSR's
music is fantastic but after a while I know where I'll end up
youtube.com
Do you use a specific character? I use blaze and omega usuallly but ican never take all the rings in a row with their drifts.
I use Amy
Who are you maining?
I have some questions, for my based Sonic friends:
>How good is this, really? Please be honest with me.
>How is the online?
>Is it on Switch? I have a PS4 too but prefer to buy multi-plats on Switch unless it just runs too bad in comparison.
Upboted, my fellow epic contrarian!!!
Not really contrarian since the common opinion of TSR is that it's a major step down from Transformed and other Kart games.
Tick Tock Blue Boy!
not as good as transformed but still a decent kart racer, online is kinda shitty and yes it's on switch
Does Grip still have the issue where if you hit one tiny pebble on the edge of the track you get thrown airborne for seconds at a time and basically have to restart? It's a decent game but the tracks are way too fucking cluttered.
My Son!
Thanks lad. I'll skip this game but I enjoyed the promotional shorts, hopefully if there's a sequel it will be better.
Team Sonic Renault when?
>wanna buy the game
>dont wanna make ANOTHER account for some keyseller
Post Rouge ss
I'll bang WHATEVER I want!
GOD
FUCKING FINALLY GOT THE PLATINUM MEDAL
IN FUCKING NORMAL MODE
I don't think Medal challenges have difficulties tied for them. Only the actual races
>Be in 1st for majority of the time
>Get hit by item. Ok no big deal. 3rd place
>Then get hit by someone's ultimate. Eh. 5th place.
>Then get hit again by someone using an item near finish line
>Come in last place
Fuck this game.
it must be the first kart racing game ever like that
nothing will ever top this
In other more skilled based kart racers you can create enough distance from the other racers to not get royally fucked like that. This feels more like luck than anything else if you're doing matches online with AI.
same shit
not same shit. other games aren't team based. chance of getting hit by items isnt as high. If anything, im avoiding team races and doing solo only.
4 of my friends and I bought. Played for about an hour. All refunded. Okay experience but probably looking to CTR to fill the Mario Kart fix.
very subtle shilling
Says the delusional Sonic fan with willingness to support a game with every aspect worse and degraded from its prequels, packaged with DRM.
>le mario reaction face
I really wonder who you are fooling.
Fuck off and die.
Did you play and enjoy Transformed? If not then this definitely not for you, if anything the first All Stars Racing is the closest to Mario Kart and the follow ups focus on more weighty driving
How does the ranking system works in online? I still have silver even though I've won a lot of races.
Stop taking Aaron's word at face value. Nothing he says has any meaning. He completely denied the game's very existence back when it was rumored as a new All-Stars Racing game.
Use a tripcode so i can filter your spamming retard
Where my POWER bros at?? Fuck all stats that aren't boost
I wish I enjoyed the Power play-style because Omega is based and sexy as hell.
I think it's strange that the characters themselves don't have cosmetics.
Here. Is Boost what I should be going for? I'm not sure what parts to put on my Omega.
What the FUCK, Sonic?
This game, like Transformed, has a heavy emphasis on Boosting, so I would say so. At least I think
thanks doc
>Cream, Vanilla, that one robot from Battle/Advance 3
>Espio, Charmy, Sticks(?)
>Fang, Bean, Bark
>Mighty, Ray, ???
I know Iizuka said he doesn't want classic characters in modern games, but he always goes back on his word
Mighty, Ray, and Classic Sonic probably. Team SEGASONIC
The Chaotix would be a nice place for Sticks to go now that the Boom universe is ded.
How the fuck does scoring works for Daredevil? The Ammount of points you get seem so arbittary. Whats the difference between thr red side of the post and the yellow side? What do they mean "skim past multiple reds for a multipler"? Are you supposed to run past all the posts across one continuous drift, or are you supposed to drift one side but course normally through the other?
The red side gives you a multiplier, so those are preferred over the yellow sides.
It doesn't have to be one continuous drift.
The score is determined by how close you can pass by the post without touching. Doing it while drifting gives extra points.
is anybody strictly playing Team BAR?
Blaze, Amy, Rouge
You get a bonus if you drift past either side. Red fills a multiplier up to x1.5, yellow just gives you points
How do you choose your teammates?
>play as Chao
>no cute Chao noises at all
>just Omochao speaking for them
Going past multiple red sides gives you up to a 1.5 point multiplier.
You'd want to go through the red sides as much as you can in order to keep the multiplier meter from dying down and resetting all the way back to 1.
You can go through the yellow sides too every so often as long as you make sure to hit a red side right after to keep the meter from falling all the way down.
you can't
I really hope they salvage her from Boom somehow.
That'd be pretty sweet.
then just buy Sonic & all stars racing transformed which is a better game all around and is much cheaper
But in that game you can't play as Big pr deck him out in gold
Been flip-flopping back and forth between Big and Omochao. I think Zavok is the best power character but I don't really want to use him.
>boom universe is ded
What happened?
you know, the game being shit and the comic being ceased.
Show got sent to Boomerang during season 2 (aka got sent to die), only one of the three games to its name is actually semi worth playing and didn't sell well despite the better reception due to the title of it and how literally no one asked for it
Updated this to make it look more like Pop-Tarts
why does silver look upset in these images at what you're doing?
Joe Mushashi is back!... in car form.
Looks like something that came out from Trong Legacy.
Because he can't appreciate the art I'm making
Based, Joe Mushashi was one of the characters who I used in Transformed when I wasn't using Sonic
Silver's car is called Lightron, so I'm sure it was on purpose
>Several big jumps where you can do a ton of stunts
>you can only get up to a normal level 3 boost from it
The trick is to get smaller boosts off them
You guys think they'll really put DLC in the game?
>Cream the rabbit excluded once again.
>No Espio.
>Zavok and Omochao got in before them.
>Music is crap compared to Transformed.
>5 tracks with small changes.
>Only 15 playable characters.
Game's shit.
They might, but I won't cross my fingers or get my hopes up. Seems like a lot of people who actually looked into the game are enjoying it so maybe good word of mouth will help with sales
>he doesn't main Blaze
>Music is crap compared to Transformed
Except most of it's fucking great.
>5 tracks with small changes
Which ones? This game does a much better job than the first All Stars Racing of making the reused assets feel unique each time you see them.
I understand being upset your favorite isn't in the game but some of these points don't really add up
Based.
>Except most of it's fucking great.
>Having this shit taste.
I bet you think Sonic Forces OST is the best Sonic sountrack ever.
Still not hearing an actual argument.
that dress is cute
>$40
weird, i didn't know this was going to be a budget title
No, but nice assumption. Forces had some alright songs, but overall the OST was an acquired taste depending on whether or not you liked the annoying ass synth or the use of trap music and dubstep.
TSR has much better variety with the soundtrack and much of it is very Adventure/Classic esque sounding with a mixture of guitar, brass, and sometimes synth accompanying songs. The only stage music I don't like/care for much are Sky Road (which sounds straight out of Forces), Roulette Road's new Casino Park remix, and maybe Pinball Highway. Other than those, this is easily one of the best Sonic OSTs since Unleashed and Colors.
Shit taste.
Cream looks cute in any dress.
I honestly can't remember which was the last $60 game, sonic lost world?
>Trick so much you break a scripted jump
>i didn't know this was going to be a budget title
Most Sonic games launch at $40 these days I think. But the ASR games were budget titles as well, so seeing this was a Sumo Digital project, I knew it would also be one and figured they would make the best of it like they did with the others. Glad they did.
>Shit taste.
I'm gonna laugh if they add Cream as DLC somehow in the future and everyone who was upset about her not being in and hated on the game for it switches their tune
>Blaze
LOL!
i just looked into the first sega and sonic all star racing on steam and its missing the console dlc?
Holy shit. That's some Transformed level jank and I love it.
Who knew Amy could be OP as shit.
Is there no option to purchase it?
Creamfags are the absolute worst.
i think they never ported it
it was metal sonic and a death egg course
THESE RING CHALLENGES ARE MAKING ME GO INSANE DUDES. HOLY FUCK THEY'RE SO HARD AAAAAAA
Rougefags are the worst user.
You're drifting right? Rings only give bonus time if you're in the middle of a drift.
Right, at this point though, you may as well get Transformed once you've had your fill of the first game. It has Metal Sonic and that stage is in it as well
Sure seems like it. I plan to make the Chao car in Cream's colors when I finally get the Sandopolis paint kit, so I can dedicate it to her memory
Thanks doc
Of course I'm drifting. They really designed these challenges in such a way that if you make a single mistake, you're chances at Platinum are fucked. It's destroying me. It feels like I spend hours completing a ring challenge and then they throw a new one at me 10 minutes later. I'm legitimately annoyed.
Just making sure. At first I went straight through some of the smaller piles of rings instead of drifting, which made platinum impossible to get until I realized my mistake.
I'm stuck on 3-3 right now because I refuse to move on until I get every possible star/key. Pray for me.
I made the mistake of playing Transformed before the first All Stars Racing, and it was so primitive in comparison that I couldn't play it for more than an hour.
Also, Billy Hatcher had shit handling.
Is it fairly popular on ps4? I was going to get it on switch but the whole friends list thing changed my mind
While it is primitive, I do feel like it still has its own charms to it.
That said however, I'm honestly glad almost all of its stages are in TSR so we can now play them with the Transformed physics and hope Ocean Ruin and the other ASR tracks are brought over as well.
Reminder that Charmy fucking dies.
I've had a few full lobbies. Most of them only go halfway, though.
any dlc leaks yet?
i can understand taking all stars and wanting to make a sonic-only version, but in theory the sonic roster should be just as massive
The lack of Cream, Charmy, and Espio is absolutely inexcusable in my eyes. I hope we do get DLC, if any of those three make it in I'd be very happy.
>namefag tripfag is retarded
color me surprised
Espio needs to be a fuckin priority because he was scrapped from the first All Stars Racing and everyone else who was scrapped made it into TSR
I miss her so much.
Really the only ones I'm missing is Chaotic as thier own them and the Babylon Rogues as a team.
Reminder that no one likes your comic, Ian.
>amy at the end
she wants the pussy's pussy
I just had this exact same thing happen to me
everyone except sonic
Who /vector/ here?
Do you think I they added Chamy, Espio, and someone else as DLC they would fucking move vector? That's the biggest crime tbdesu
Does the boost stat increase the speed or duration?
no lewd allowed
I really enjoy the class and team mechanics, while I initially thought this would be terrible for a kart racer.
What's your favorite class to play? I suppose speed is the obvious competitive choice, but going off-course with technique characters is a lot of fun, too bad it's not compatible with the teamplay aspect except if you're playing as a complete tech team...
I doubt it, since that would fuck the story up. Would be nice though
It seems like power characters have more routes, and better ones, too.
I hope you're all maining bat tats
Rougefag reporting in. God bless her
what stats/parts should I go with for her?
They wouldn't since the teams are locked in story mode. The most they would likely do, is have some third character as a placeholder for Team Chaotix, then have Vector, Charmy, and Espio have unique lines if they're teamed up, and hopefully patch in a way to select your teammates
*steals you're character slot*
It increases the top speed of the boost.
Just picked this up the other day and play with two others as a team, and honestly very impressed with the team mechanics.
The only thing that sucks is that there sadly doesn't seem to be many players and it can be hard to find a full room (the retarded decision to just fill a game with computers no matter what doesn't help, just let us wait for players) and as others have said it could also definitely use more content.
Overall though, very satisfied with the game.
IRON MAN?!?
Haven't unlocked everything for her yet. Can you recreate the dickmobile from SA2 or make something similar? Because once I get the parts that's what I'm doing
Shameless shills.
If only there was a mechanic in the game where your teammates would be able to mostly nullify that and help you out
Put the knife down, Cheese.
asspained
Eggman no.
Okay.
jesus christ Vanilla, are you trying to get raped?
Bought game... and it's shit... I'm going to return it.
ok
Sorry you didn't enjoy it then. I feel like you didn't put enough time into it to learn the mechanics, but whatever, it's your money
t. Crash devs
Well said, a game without Cream the rabbit is not a game worth playing.
git gud
we dodged a feet fetish fuel here.
Metal chads, how is he?
So does the game do anything to address the fact that Zavok has magnetokinesis, and could control everyone's cars to make them stop or crash?
Or do they just outright forget that Zeti can do that?
Pic related, Zeti exploiting this to force Mega Man to fucking shoot himself in the head
Haven't tried him yet, but he's got my favorite color combination for sure
He's definitely getting decked out with the Stardust Speedway color combo when I unlock it though
It doesn't, no
Didn't think so.
I personally think he's one of the weaker speed characters. His parts mostly emphasize boost more than speed and you really have to lean everything into speed to make him decent. Easier to just pick Sonic, Shadow, or Blaze.
user, you should always be boosting in a Sumo racer.
Is it semi possible to recreate his car from Transformed? Gonna try and do the same with Amy
Bros I really enjoy the game but it's dead on PC and I got no one else to play with. I wish they advertised it a bit more and announced free updates to entice people to buy it because I like playing online.
>subbar
retard
I feel like more people will look into it when Denuvo is removed and they may help it succeed with good word of mouth, everyone who bothered to get it seems to really enjoy it, even critics
How do I master Chao or do the second ring challenge
I keep getting timed out
Prioritize handling with your loadout
Cute rabbit
Yeah, Cream is very cute.
GREEEEEEEEEEN
LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE
RIDE
holy shit this game is chaotic, I get hit by items every 5 seconds and end up in last place. FUCK
i enjoy zavok's character in tsr for some reason
he's just entertaining
How similar is the game to the PS3 Sonic All-Star Racing?
I love the game, the feel, the mechanics.
Is it the same in the sense of the scope of the game? content and all the different forms you had like plane and water.
Is it possible to recreate Sonic's best car, the Cyclone?
Same thing happens to me. I like it though, that shit rarely happens to me in Mario Kart and I find myself leading the pack unless it's 200cc. This game is so much more hectic than that game gets and it really does remind me of those moments in Transformed where I get fucked right near the end of a race
Not exactly but I got sort of close
Handling in Transformed is almost the exact same as TSR but the stages change between laps. Basically TSR has about the same amount of general content, as Transformed had 20 tracks and 1 DLC stage, and it also had a ton of missions and mods to unlock. Transformed has this game beat roster wise since there's over 20 characters, and has a battle mode, but most of the cast is locked behind World Tour
Maybe change the wheels to the Charge Tires and it'd be perfect
aint my shot, dude
Ah ok then. My only wish is that you could make the All Stars versions of the returning vehicles honestly
I just like his calm voice.
This concerns his JP voice, but the more Zavok has a role in games means more Nakata overall, which is always a good thing in my book.
No Espio, no buy.
>Vector is in but no Charmy or Espio
Pathetic.
Especially since Espio was supposed to be in as far back as the first All Stars Racing
Don't play with my feelings like that user.
Cream is coming back to the mainline series and spin-offs soon just wait and see.
no
your mom on the other hand is a sumo
Maps change between rounds? Thats kind of a bummer since you actually have to play the map a couple of times to know the routes.
Also, do you get to change to plane and boat form mid race like the old game?
>Emerl and Vanilla
>2 characters who don't have a current 3D model to reuse
haha
You're getting Jet, Master Zik, and Buzzbomber.
>Buzz Bomber
>Not Egg Pawn
In TSR no, cars only
Story mode looks cool
m.youtube.com
That sucks, I liked the planes and boats.
Guess I'll grab it 2nd hand or when it hits sale, I really do think Sonic All Star is the best kart racer around.
>It's no use
probably not intentional but still
OP here, I thought my thread died last night. How is it still here
Honestly if they added in team Babylon my NUT would be LEGENDARY
I could do without planes but liked the boats. I don't really mind it being cars only though since the first one was and it was still pretty good
so glad my ride's looking crisp
>Team Babylon
>They drive hover cars
They better fucking fund that shit
thanks doc
To each his own, do they keep the cool game modes as well?
Battle, the part where you gotta hit check points while blue and green cars are blocking your way and what not.
Traffic Attack missions are in the game, yes
I dislike your son and his ride
Actually his ride is alright
He's ok.
Sonic=Shadow>Metal>Blaze>Amy
And while I'm at it:
Eggman=Chao>Silver>Rouge>Tails
Zavok>Vector=Omega=Knuckles>Big
yeah Zavok is ass but at least he has both the best and worst looking car out of them all
Zavok's car is the only worthwhile addition to the game he adds
Fuck this shit
Six hours and still stuck getting the platinum medal for the ring challenge in Chapter 2.
Drift into every ring you collect. Even just a half second drift right before it is enough.
Any Transformedfags who would mind sharing their impressions of the game so far? How does it stack up mechanically and in level design?
>check stats
>lose online race
>check stats again
>somehow my online rank increased
Ok I guess?
Put about 200 hours into transformed and 10 hours so far into Team Racing
I prefer it to Transformed. Transformed was all about chaining the turbo, the turbo is not as important now. You have other ways to increase speed.
The items are better as well. The game feels less clunky, but a little bit more hectic.
That being said, some people didn't like the game that much. If you want an exact copy of Transformed, this game is not for you. It plays a bit different, but better imo.
I didn't master Transformed but I like this game a bit more in some ways.
To me Transformed was about flow and keeping it going, TSR is more focused on building up speed and finding/exploring the best routes. Very much employs some ideals of Sonic in it
I DON'T CARE WHAT IT TAKES

862 here, can confirm his existence makes 0 sense in this game and the only reason they added him was so every character doesn't look like a sonic copy
I believe it, but I wish the roster was good before they added his big ass.
I guess I can forgive it since I can finally use Blaze
I WON THE RACE
AND NOW I'M HAPPY
gratz user
Which version are people playing?
>This is where that robot is from
You learn something every day
PS4
I got it on Switch and PC. Glad modding is already happening on PC tho
Switch for me
Do you have to finish the entire campaign to unlock Eggman and co?
Peecee
Does the PC version support 144hz?
I don't think you're able to play as Team Eggman at all in the story mode
None because Cream was excluded once again.
Based.
PS4
I might buy it again on Switch if it goes super cheap.
Switch is 30 fps docked are you sure? Also fuck this demolition mission where you have to use 35 wisps for the key i literally got platinum without getting it and i'm fucking seething.
THAT DOES IT
I NEVA SHOULD OF RACE YOU
YOU MADE ME LOSE
Yeah. That's why I went with PS4 first.
Yes, Switch is 30fps.
I'M NEVER GONNA SLOW THAT HEDGEHOG DOWN ENOUGH TO CATCH HIM
Not him, but is it also 30 FPS when it's just in the regular handheld mode?
Not that user either but yes.
SCRATCH!
GROUNDER!
I NEED YOU TWO TO HELP ME OUT
Thanks doc
Knuckles giving daily dose to Shadow when?
The main problem with the Power Characters is that acceleration is actually a fair bit important in this game since items hitting you brings you to a complete stop. and trust me, you will get hit ALOT online. Also their Spike wisp would've been so much better if you could fire them.
IF YOU BRING ME VICTORY, I'LL SHINE YOUR TREADS
Does this play like Sonic All Stars? That was probably my favorite kart racer.
It's built off of the car gameplay from Transformed.
Welp, guess I'm buying it.
Expert AI is free in solo mode. based metal sonic and his high boost
HOW
JUST WIN THE RACE
JUST WIN THE RACE
JUST WIN JUST WIN JUST WIN THE RACE
I DON'T CARE WHAT TAKES
JUST FIND A WAY TO WIN THE RACE
How do I unlock Espio and Charmy?
You have to unlock Cream first and then win 2 races with her on your team.
Spend 50,000 tokens on mod pods and get the platinum rank on every time trial.
You don't
Switch
THAT DIRTY RAT
HES CHEATING
LOOK
Yes. They have defense but without acceleration it's still not amazing. The tech characters can be built with high defense and have the acceleration to complement it.
damn this song is bangin'
THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM
I'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN TO CHEAT
I'M CERTAIN I'LL DO SOME MO-O-O-O-ORE
The story mode renders look so good. Too bad those models fall apart as soon as they move, probably.
It's nice to see the characters get new renders after nearly a decade.
Didn't they all get new renders for Forces?
Some are really just touchups but yeah they did
