I think the 3DS version is safe. Nintendo announced that the 3DS will be getting a demo this month!

I am worried about the quality of the final version though as Sumo have shown nothing yet.

Well at least we'll probably know if it's crap or not. They've said the game was built from the ground for the 3DS so I don't see it being terrible. I'm really eager to try it out.

Just to let you know, a month was never specified for the demo. The eshop announcements were for Q3 and Q4 so the demo could come at any point in that time period. You would think that Sega would be pushing Sumo to get it done in time for release right before the game's release but that isn't set in stone.

Considering the fact that the DS and Wii versions of the original seem to have sold the most, I'm surprised Sega hasn't given the 3DS version a MASSIVE push. Also, the game will pretty much be running with Paper Mario alone this Holiday season and it's in a genre that the majority of the userbase can get behind. Could definitely be a perfect storm for positive sales assuming that Sega can wow users with the demo.

Just always been kind of obsessed about his game ever since I was young lad. I'm not particularly hyped for Sonic & Sega that much, but I was just reading about it today and the early rumours about Ristar and Vectorman being in. I thought to myself, in spite of everything else, if Ristar was in the game then that would make it an insta-buy.

I gotcha was just curious.

Ristar fans, try not to get too upset,

You know the development team tried their best when the race starts and Ristar is cheerfully waving the flag.

Ristar is the flagman, but at least he's in the game this time.

Sega has a way of losing great oportunities that I will never saw on another companies.... they have THE flagman (the dancing one) and they use RISTAR for this ????

Give the star a car and let THE flagman does his job =/

...or at least make unlockable flagmans ...

We've got him in a role that works and he's been promoted from cameo on one track, to Flagman on all. We've explained a few times now that from a point of view of being playable, we've got issues with what the character looks like from behind.

We can't change the character design - so we've gone for a role that works. If what we do next isn't a 'look at all the characters from behind' game design, maybe we'll promote him again. Not promising!

I know this will be an upset for some of you, and I do apologise if you expected him to be playable, but we've never led you to believe otherwise. We can only have so many characters playable and for those that can't be, we find other roles they can fill. He's a perfect fit for the Flagman job, so he got to do it :p

I kinda get the reasoning behind it.

Still, I'd be lying if I said the fact that Danica fuckin' Patrick got in as a playable character but Ristar only made flagman didn't upset me.

Does it have online multiplayer this time?
Click to expand...
Post from a few months ago:
We've already got full control customisation working on the PC version, so you should be able to plug in any form of gamepad that has two sticks and enough buttons and play right away. Right now you can even remap controls for a single player over multiple devices - not sure why you'd want to, but there you go.

We're not really talking in any great detail about online multiplayer right now - other than it's there. Including on PC.

When we do start talking about the PC version in more detail (and that may not be for a while) - I think PC folk will be very happy :p

Yeah i thought the 3DS version would get more of a push then this. Nintendo has that mario kart fan base so not sure why Sega not giving them any attention @ all.

Thanks for heads up on the demo..

Does anyone know the numbers for the first game? I guess it's possible that it sold the most on DS or Wii. Now it's different since there's no Wii version, WiiU has a current install base of zero and 3DS is also somewhat young, and definitely not DS-huge.

Now who said the OutRun flagman wouldn't be in? I remember saying it was something we wanted to do in a Sonic Talk podcast, so we got him in as a cameo on the OutRun track :p

I love that URL :)

BTW I wonder if, when they say that PC users can expect a surprise, if it's just that we get online or if there's something more than that. If I had to guess, I'd say "Steamworks" (which people seem to think PC users go gaga over) but maybe it's something like super-HD textures that require a 3gb video card or something. Or G27 wheel support.
Click to expand...

Considering Sega games all seem to be Steamworks of late (they even use the Steam logo for their PC platform logo), that's a near lock.

I wouldn't go expecting G27 support. If the original game didn't work with it, I can't imagine they're going to suddenly add support for a title that has flight (although it sure would be awesome if they could magically make it work).

I'll personally settle for everything working as intended out of the box. If Sega hits on that, they're good with me.

So who's joining me with Sega Transformed on PC?
Click to expand...
I didn't reply to this, but I'm definitely in. It's the only system where I can basically be guaranteed use of any number of control methods (in this case, 360 pad and possibly wheel) as well as having higher framerate/res etc.

I hope we get some 3D thrown in with it as well (without having to get all hacky). That'd be nice.

Trailer for Danica Patrick. Kind of wish they did this sort of thing for ALL the new characters, promote them and a new level with each.

Also S0L, how does the Outrun Level work into the game, if at all? A single track doesn't really sit into a 4-level "cup", is it just an extra level to select outside of the cup challenges?

See ?

That is EXACTLY what I said about missing perfect oportunities !

Dude's NAME is flagman and they don't put him in the flagman position =P

Girl is a NASCAR racer and they don't put her driving Hornet !

First one has great 3D without any hacks.

Little worried that because they seem to be pushing the consoles with this one, they'll be using rendering cheats that'll screw things up. But hopefully if that's the case, Helix mod will be able to fix it in short order.

Oh there will be when Agent G and Washington are revealed, yep......nope.

I think it's safe to say at this point that my Valkyria Chronicles related dreams are coming to a close and i'm doubting that the Bonanza Bros will return.

Looks like it's Eggman for me.

Ah, that video made me realize how much I like Jason Griffith's Sonic waaaaay more than the current voice.

Will be modding the sound effects.

This is going to be my Wii U launch game. A premium system, pro controller and this bad boy. As a shameless and totally unapologetic Sega fanboy this game is giving me the shivers...and there's something appealing to me abut being able to kick off a new console generation with an all out Sega festival.

Gotta disagree with ya. I think Roger's voice is more natural and has a bit of a snark to it. fitting Sonic better.

Jason doesn't know how to emote.

I like the voices so far except for Amy. Her voice is still makes me cringe.

This game is really shaping up! Although I do hope the Bonanza Bros do return, they were my favorite to use with B.D. Joe second.

That was a very sloppy put together trailer, more random frame rate video grabs then you would ever need, ick.

Why is she in this again?
