That's very true. The first Sonic Racing was much better. If this new game continues all the first did right and makes it better, we're all in for a treat regardless of console. The handheld versions are a different story though since the first one was pretty damn bad.
Here's a Forbes interview with a publicist. The game footage is off-screen so it isn't great quality but at least it shows some racing action. Apologies if this has already been posted. Don't panic about the November 30 release date...that's for Europe, not the Americas.

It's possible that they are secret characters.

Yep, definitive version confirmed. Forbes video confirms it IMO.

Seeing people playing with a sideways Wiimote made me want to vomit. Hopefully it supports the pro controller. Was worried about the game's shift to aerial racing, but that looked quite good. Sorta Diddy Kong Racing-ish. How many people are supported via online play on the Wii U version?
S0L said the game will support every possible controller input, Pro Controller included. 10 player online mode.

Yes to pro controller. 10 player online I believe.
Why would you do that?
Member
According to the dev (NeoGAF poster S0L), the game supports every controller configuration they possibly could support. That means it will support the Pro controller and probably the Classic controller and Nunchuck, too.

Cool, I may have to convince my daughter to ask for this version for Xmas. It will come down to framerate, which looked good in the linked video.

Hmm mind linking to where this was mentioned/stated please?
For some reason, the release of 1+2 on PSN and XBL makes me believe they are in the game.

Naturally I would agree, kind of torn between 60 FPS on my PC (with added IQ) and local multi though. Seeing that it's a Sega game it'll drop in price very quickly though so I can wait for impressions.

Whichever version gets Segata Sanshiro gets my business.

I believe all versions will get Segata...altho based on his final commercial being on a Nintendo console/system is...weird.
@w00tkins- Aw, well hopefully they make it as DLC in the near future ^_^;
Oh, let me assure you that it is a Mario Kart, simply with Sega characters and no Blue shell.
And every character get a different "Star" item.
Like Sonic get Super Sonic, Tails start to fly, Amy Punch everybody with her hammer. But I find it kind of weird that they diminished the roaster by removing a lot of characters...

I dont get why they removed a lot of variety. Lets hope the more to be announced are from many different games. Make for a lot of fun to see Billy Hatcher running around on his giant egg
Repping Segagaga without announcing an English re-release would just be cruel.
Thanks for sharing, framerate seems really solid now. I may get it at launch.
From the Sonic Wiki:
So far, 29 playable characters (including three 3rd party characters) have been confirmed to appear in this game. It has also been said that the game will feature platform specific rosters, and no single platform has all 29 characters.

Heh that last line is confusing me, but from what I understand using this example-
Using at least 3 platforms: WiiU, PS3 and 360, does that mean that at least 2 of them will have 29 characters?

Game looks decent, would be much cooler if it was 60 fps but that's what happens when graphic whores praise water in games.
We know Wii U version will have the highest console framerate, and from the look of it the 60fps PC target is not that far away.

No it wasnt. The DS version ran at a nice 60 FPS and had a crap load of content in it. It was impressive how muchthey put into it when handheld versions are usually given the shaft.
Alexios
Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Isn't 60fps the standard on DS though, with devs having to go way out of their way to work around it and allow higher detail for 30?
If the DS game is what iOS got it's relatively impressive for the DS 3D wise but not really amazing or all that great to play imo.
But yeah, having a lot of content and features is a good thing of course.

Have there been any actual rumors of Segata Sanshiro being in this or is that just wishful thinking?
You got a source for that? The only thing I've seen is S0L saying that it will have slightly better textures. The framerates for all three consoles are targeted at 30fps, but I haven't heard anything to suggest which will be the most steady.

OF course he doesnt have a source for that.
That video sold me.

That's not saying it's better than the others. It's saying they finally got it close to the targeted FPS but mentions nothing about consistency of framerate, which is a really awful thing for a dev to admit. Especially about a Kart game. Nintendo would never release a modern Mario Kart game that wasn't locked hard at 30 or 60. The only qualms I have about buying another Kart game from Sega is that they released the last game with an inconsistent framerate. That's a huge no-no for racing games, and is a big reason why Modnation Racers is such a terrible series. But for 40 dollars, I'm willing to give this a chance. Hopefully at that pricepoint more people support them. Last time it felt like no one bought it at full price and just kept waiting for it to drop and drop in price.

Nope.

Unfortunately the devs themselves admit it won't be 60 unless you buy it on PC, which makes me want to shake them and ask why they didn't simply remove some graphical effects/items in order to lock it in at 60.

Does this support the pro controller? I was surprised to see NSMBU doesnt.
Following the links to the original source has him quite clearly saying that it is the closest of the 3 versions. I think its fair to say that these comments are referring to consistency.
Hmm, a problem. Might have to wait for the U version to land now instead of getting the PS3 one as planned next week.
Oh, and thanks for the link GDGF.
