Excited for the game, but the name is really really terrible.
- All-Star moves activated by filling All-Star gaugeThese 27 characters will be unlocked in a new single-player adventure mode which is "inspired by games like Mario Galaxy," he says. "There's a feeling of starting at one place and unlocking characters, rescuing them as you progress through the game and different game modes... I thought the original game was a fantastic driving experience but maybe lacked a little bit in meta-game type stuff - progression and things like that."
- massive budget, Gareth Wilson says;Progression doesn't stop there, as each character can be levelled up through five ranks. Filling up the All-Star gauge with on-track moves earns you XP as well as granting access to your character's All-Star power; each level unlocks stickers and achievements as well as perk-style vehicle mods which can be equipped to alter the handling characteristics of your favourite characters. There's no difference between these in the demo build, but Wilson intends them to be pronounced - "I want to tune the stats quite hard, actually, [so] there's some genuine differences to them," he says.
- difficulty ranges from C-Class (easy) to A-Class, to All-StarSega's investment also encompasses new rendering and physics engines (created "with future platforms in mind," says Wilson - but no, he can't confirm or deny a Wii U release)

- gunning for 30fps since water physics rules out 60fps (=_=)
- 27 characters not counting exclusives, will be unlocked in single-player
- All-Star moves activated by filling All-Star gauge
- XP/leveling system

- difficulty ranges from C-Class (easy) to A-Class, to All-Star
- weapons and powerups have changed a little bit
OH REALLY!? Last time I checked that First game have more than 7 characters. I checked the list so we might get 20 returning characters, along with 7 new characters.

For the first game, the idea of Sonic driving a car always threw me off. This one may have enough going on that it doesn't matter and I'll get it.
Kiryu driving, Majima in the passenger side for attacks, Akyama in the back relaxing with a hostess Perfect.??? [AkiyamaKazuma Kiryu]
Let's hope he doesn't cut the 'single race' mode. My biggest issue with Blur.Apparently the director for this game was the same guy who worked on Blur. So I'm in.
It was.... And so was Soul Calibur 2, SSX Tour, Fight Night Round 2, Mario & Sonic Olympics, Itadaki Street, DOA Dimensions and Dynasty Warriors Vs. I'm glad that I'm not the only person who found his comment peculiar.
Odds on Space Harrier and Joe Musashi as racers?
I really hope they replace Big.
I do too. But it would be even better if it were Vyse, Fina, and Aika together. Not completely unprecedented, since Jackie and Akira were both in Jackie's race car in the first game.
SumoRex said:This game creates a pack finish mainly by good balance... however there is a "1st place attack weapon", but (unlike the MK blue shell), with some good driving it is avoidable... It's mentioned in one of the reviews/interviews on one of the web sites. But you'd have to read em all cos I can't remember which site it is...
Also they totally need to bring back the announcer guy from the first game. He was hilarious.

Go get Futatsugi to make this now!
Nom.
What's wrong with you?
I knew this would be controversial...
Truth us we did look at online support, be it GFW or some other method.
When we looked into the cost vs the projected sales, the two didn't add up. So as a result the feature wasn't added to the game.
One of the main reasons is that on PC people will steal it rather than buy it.
I've been in touch with SEGA to get the Steam product description amended but I also put that comment out there as I don't want anyone being
misled into buying it for a feature the game doesn't have.
At the end of the day, the PC market is dwindling and is being damaged by piracy and as such, publishers aren't willing to spend a lot of money for people to just steal the resulting games.

SOL, from Sumo Digital, regarding the absence of multiplayer on the PC version of Sonic and Sega All-Star Racing.
PC version never got any of the DLC either.
So yea, I paid $15 for the PC version, I won't be touching this one, unless their attitude has changed.

Yup online on PC is officialy confirmed. Sweet
ugh.. absolutely 0 need for an XP/Leveling system
God I hope not, I turned that announcer off immediately after the first race.
Weren't the license miles in the first one basically xp? I forgot what they were used for though, probably unlocking.
Most of my friends had a SNES.
Yeah and just bleep out all their cursing. It would fantastic.
Opa Opa's male, and yeah, at the rate this is going it's going to be another SSB Brawl, a sequel with no real new female characters... hopefully they change that with one of the last few.Only 7 new characters and 4 are already known to be male? No love for Se-gals ;.;

Oh well, fine, whatevers. The world didn't need more Emelia (PS2), Alicia/Isara/Edy/whomever (Valkyia), Shinguji Sakura (Sakura Wars), Candy/Honey (Fighting Vipers), Blaze (SoR), Janet (Virtua Cop), Junon (Dragon Force)... among others. Gotta keep Knuckles, Big, and Shadow around! Watch 'em add Blaze the Cat or for maximum trolltential, Marine as the sole new gal lol. It is what it is! I dun get how a story mode or exp fit into a racing game but so long as it feels as good & fun ta play as the first I'm still in!
TSSZ is saying that Ristar and Vectorman are playable.

Based on the Eurogamer article, I think they mean this game has 27 unlockable characters, not that there is 27 characters total.

And elsewhere, someone noticed Tails' new car is similar to his car from Sonic Drift.
