More apearing on Sonic fansites and forums, such as The Sonic Stadium's portable version thread.

The game is out in Europe, by the way (PSN download is 1.5GB).

By having this thread show up on NeoGAF New Threads' twitter feed, I've already done more than SEGA to promote the game.

BadWolf · Dec 5, 2012

Looks nice.

thetrin · Dec 5, 2012

Looks great. I'm still torn between the Steam version, and the Vita version. Who doesn't want TF characters in a racing game?!

GrizzNKev · Dec 5, 2012

I wish the Vita didn't output upscaled screenshots, it makes the games look 10x more aliased.

SuicidalSteve · Dec 5, 2012

Looks rather impressive! Kudos Sumo!

The game looks native, actually. It's just that most (all?) monitors have much lower DPI than the Vita.

DrAndonuts · Dec 5, 2012

The colors look like they pop more here than in the Wii U version, which already looked super nice. Totally getting it.

Takao · Dec 5, 2012

The real question is the frame rate.

el retorno · Dec 5, 2012

Looks great! I need a kart racing game for my vita. Hopefully it plays well.

Tsunamo · Dec 5, 2012

Glad I decided to wait for the Vita version, it looks great!

sixteen-bit · Dec 5, 2012

Looks native res.

That's an accidental powerful marketing tool that I never considered. And all of us can harness it!

Well, some of us. Sorry Chickdigger. ^_^

Those blown up images look terrible regardless. When quoted they look great.

PerZona · Dec 5, 2012

It looks actually good lol

Carl · Dec 5, 2012

Hard to see why Sega have been neglecting this version. Look great.

ZeroAKA · Dec 5, 2012

The first screenshots showed up after the game was released.

...Why?

Durante · Dec 5, 2012

Always good to see a native resolution Vita game. It's the first thing developers should aim for IMHO.

Wait. It's already out? I thought it was delayed or something (or was that the 3DS version?).

It was. Delayed until this week.

First post mentions that the game is out in Europe. Still not sure about US release though.

Out in Europe on PSN.

Because Sanic goes faster then Sega.

SmithnCo · Dec 5, 2012

Looks nice. Will probably get eventually.

Nibel · Dec 5, 2012

Just beautiful - especially dat water

Sumo did a great job on every platform it seems

Skyzard · Dec 5, 2012

Not as nice on all levels unfortunately.

Looks quite good overall though. Just curious about that framerate like Takao mentioned.

Not putting up with potential dips anymore when I'm paying full-price basically.

Hopefully a very well recorded video will show up soon on youtube..

Anyone from EU want to chime in? Is this VT 4 levels of magic or Modnation un-magic?

Berordn · Dec 5, 2012

Looks kind of flat and bland to me, but I guess that's just having the console versions to compare it to. The real test is how it looks in motion and I haven't seen that yet.

I probably won't double dip unless it eventually supports cross-version saves. I spent enough time unlocking everything on the PS3.

Let's not compare this to Modnation.

I was referring to framerate not gameplay

Played a bit of the Vita version, seems to be 30fps with no drops on the first Sonic level at least.

Ok one good report. Starting well..

thanks TimmiT

Looks good in motion?

Takao · Dec 5, 2012

The only screenshots of the 3DS version are incredibly compressed, lol. Even worse than Vita's compression.

Looks about the same as in the screenshots except for the image compression of course.

I haven't seen any Sonic Transformed 3DS screenshots. Can you post them here?

FalsettoVibe · Dec 5, 2012

I might pick this up cheap.

Azure Phoenix · Dec 5, 2012

Bought my retail copy today, problem is the included Metal Sonic and Outrun Bay code is invalid - already soured my impression of this version :/

TimmiT · Dec 5, 2012

Oh dear, seems like Sumo forgot to implement half of the d-pad controls. Can't control my vehicle during an all-star move, can't shoot power-ups backwards with the d-pad, can't shoot the Blowfish power-up forward with the d-pad either. This all can be done with the left stick though.

Also, the game has been removed from the European PSN, seems like they sold it too early.

Big Chungus · Dec 5, 2012

does this game still have the crazy ultimate power ups from the original game?

I think these might actually be photos:

eighty(one) · Dec 5, 2012

Very excited to see the game looking good. I preordered this on Vita, a few weeks back. Too bad it releases later - 12/18 in the US. Can't wait!

You mean the all-star moves? They're still in the game, but they're severely toned down.

maquiladora · Dec 5, 2012

Water looks nice in the second one.

Totobeni · Dec 5, 2012

After Burner/Carrier Zone track look really bad in this screenshot

Nope, but Hard and Expert will make you wish they were still there.

Skyzard · Dec 5, 2012

Almost went for it - although the d-pad issues ..... guess I can wait till friday. (not that I expect them to be fixed by then, but who knows)..

There is supposed to be a 100mb patch iirc TimmiT, are you sure you updated?

Metalmurphy · Dec 5, 2012

Looks native, or close to native, so that's a big plus. Is this still 60fps?

What do you mean still? It's not 60 fps on any console (aside from the PC version).

erpg · Dec 5, 2012

Word is 30 with dips in some specific track areas - which I hope can be patched out in the future.

OctoWara289 · Dec 5, 2012

Those 3DS screenshots are super blurry. However, I don't think they look THAT bad. The Vita screens DO look bright and crisp though.
