The big problem there is the way the vehicles face, you should be sliding 90% of the time and thus you would end up staring at the walls often especially on boats.

this game with a cockpit view would make me so sick to my stomach. Just thinking about the Golden Axe level in first person makes me nauseous.
Not to say I don't want it added. Seems like some people would enjoy it.

In game v-sync fixed it for the most part, sometimes still crap now and then but mostly very smooth now. Thanks

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
So? It's cool. Arcade rally games with all their power sliding around corners etc always offered that view.
I've just read this entire thread. I'm glad so many people are enjoying the game. I'm probably going to do some selective quotes to pass to the team too.
Though perhaps not this one...
Talk about swimming upstream eh?

Any chance you could pass on the request to remove black bars from non 16:9 resolution on the PC version? (with hor+ fov preferably)

Where's the patch for the console version SOL? I want to play online again.

Hey S0L, any further word on any DLC at all? Specifically, the character polls a few months back?

I was thinking of a Goldrush TF2 track.
It's too bad the guests don't have tracks. Although not sure the audience that wants whatever Danica Patrick would get as a track.

I don't know if I'll ever be able to unlock the Ages car so is there a possibility we can get it as a paid unlock? Hah, never thought I'd ask for one of those...
Edit: Oh wait, just 165 stars? Maybe I can do it.
Otherwise, I'm gonna be enjoying the game and pimping it to friends while I wait for that Outrun DLC to arrive. Thanks for the awesome game!
I thought it'd be an impossible task as well but it's really rather manageable to get to 165. I did it without doing a single race event past B class, as long as you can do the majority of the mini-game type challenges like tank, drift/boost and ring flying on expert then it's not all that daunting a prospect.
Oh fantastic, I just checked GMG but all I saw initially were the EA sales, thanks for that!

Yea Ring Race, Versus and the Tank missions are all pretty easy on Expert. Nice 4 stars each right there, which adds up fast.
I'm 14 away from Ages. So close, the home stretch (but I'm almost out of events I can do on expert easily)

Then again, if Danica Patrick got us Three Seven Speedway, I'd put money down for that.
Oh man you guys did a great job on the Vita version,this is easily the best racing game I've ever played.I've just read this entire thread. I'm glad so many people are enjoying the game. I'm probably going to do some selective quotes to pass to the team too.

Have you tried doing the elimination ones? Theres an element of luck to them but they're doable if you're persistent.
Ain't exactly the rightest time to be mentionning that, what with the current Minami Minagishi scandal spreading a wildfire of mob-rage around the Internet...
I am so glad I ended up going in on a 4-pack with some friends. I'm having a lot of fun with this game.
I guess I just hadn't really thought much about the game before other than the characters but I was not prepared for how fun it would be to go through Panzer Dragoon and Skies of Arcadia themed levels, and I'm glad I stayed away from any comprehensive character lists because I'm loving seeing people pop up in my games that I didn't expect (like Gilius).

Wait you Sumo developers even post here?
Well then let me say Sonic Racing Transformed is easily one of the most fun games I ever played and I even double-dipped on the Vita and PC version and don't regret it one bit! It's really funny since I initially didn't think much of this game as I wasn't a fan of the first one though Transformed really blew me away, heck my group and friends play it weekly for multiple hours!And if I already have the chance can I ask if you are aware of the save corrupting bug on the PS3 where sometimes during a race the sound might glitch and if you don't exit the game at this point your save-game will be deleted upon the end of the event?
It's coming, we've got versions in test with SEGA at the moment so we're quite far on with it.
Hey S0L, any further word on any DLC at all? Specifically, the character polls a few months back?
Can't really say much on this yet, but it's something that's very much in discussion!
This one isn't straight-forward as the whole interface is designed for 16:9 and can't simply be scaled. Hence the letterboxing. It's unlikely to change, sorry!

I hope some of the weapons delay racers a second or two longer after the patch.
As for DLC, I've been sitting on some points waiting for this to be announced. I'm a Day 1 buyer.

Wait can you do that on the PS3 aswell? o.o
Nope. Vita has a handy error log when an application unexpectedly closes, and you can choose to upload it.
PS3 just leaves you alone and dumbstruck, far as I know.

Ah alright I see, I just asked because my friends and me already ran twice into the save deleting bug :/
I've enjoyed the game a lot so far and I didn't even expect to see mouse controls there for the menu. I'll buy another copy if you manage to get us in the next patch some actual configurable and unlimited numbers in those XML settings files. A lot of us would really appreciate if we could increase the Shadow resolution freely(particularly the one in the water).
A lot of thanks for implementing the fullscreen windowed mode as well. It's my favourite mode for most games, since I tend to alt-tab pretty often.

Meh, she isn't singing in Sugar Rush and many Japanese fans said they forgive her, that's why the video was taken down. So all is well.. lol
S-U-G-A-R! Jump into your racing car. It's Sugar Rush! Sugar Rush
Had my second crash today. I hope you guys can fix that. And the Nights track is totally nuts.

Are the crashing issues just for users with AMD hardware? I haven't had one in 10 hours of play, but maybe I'm just lucky.

i'm oddly interested in this game - mainly because it would fill a void for local pc play that most games don't fill (even when they should - I'm looking at you, borderlands). I think I need a slight price drop still, being that it's a kart racer

Great job with the game Sumo! I loved the first Sonic Racing game but was kind of disappointed with the lackluster PC version (no multiplayer). Sonic Racing Transformed more than makes up for it.
I'm assuming the Steam charting has a lot to do with people picking this up via other sites like GMG and Amazon due to deals and discounts because there seems to be plenty of people playing the game. It would be criminal to let this game fly under the radar though. This is one of the best kart racers of the last decade and a genre that is a rarity to find on PC. The good news is that PC games tend to have long legs so hopefully good word of mouth and future sales will keep this one going. I posted a Steam recommendation to help get the word out. This game deserves success!

Did Sumo ever give a reason for why half of the last game's cast was cut?
I dunno but it cant be dlc given that they are being wishy washy on there even being any. Kinda weird though that games like Billy Hatcher have stages and yet Billy isnt even playable despite being in the last game.

To the poster in this thread who suggested using Vyse, thanks so much.
I'm clearing the Hard races (vs AI) much more easily now. There's just something bout his ride that really clicks with me.

cutting Billy Hatcher, Opa Opa or Ryu and then adding in Reala is kind of odd. Like... what popularity does he have versus Ryu?
Pudding, Meemee and Gum I can kind of understand, wanting to bring more female racers. But... really? Reala?
Eh... I liked the cast, but it just seemed to have a few odd inclusions at the expense of a few important vets not returning.
Oh well, back to the best remix in the entire game and pretty much the most fun level in the game. I don't even like Golden Axe, but hot damn that level is a ride.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
The average GoDaddy commercial would do fine as we'd be racing around scantily clad women.

I am slightly annoyed that characters like Wreck It Ralph, Danica Patrick (ugh), and all the PC and console exclusive racers made it in at the expense of other more iconic or nostalgic characters.

but 2/3 of the PC exclusive characters are Sega characters from well known, iconic, PC exclusive series. I don't see anything wrong with them.

================
Update - 4th Feb 2013
================
Hello again, rather than post this into the thread (where the comments may be lost...) I thought I'd answer a few of the common questions raised with an update to this first post.
Before I start, I'd like to thank everyone for their support, thanks for your patience whilst we investigate and address the issues that some of you are experiencing.
Here we go...
1. Can we have a confirmed timeline?
This is difficult as it's not entirely under our control. Once we believe we've fixed the issues, we need to provide an update to SEGA for them to QA it. In testing it they might find that it's not fully fixed some of the issues you're experiencing or indeed we've introduced something new. That's the nature of software development, you can knock one peg in, which knocks another peg out. We have had people working on the issues in the original post since Friday, including work over the weekend. So we're doing our best to resolve these as soon as possible. We believe we can address the majority of issues this week, but we'll update as we go.
2. Why weren't these issues found during testing!
Ah the wonders of PC development. If PC's were the same as consoles, with a simple small set of configurations, that would certainly have made life easier. But they're not. Every PC is unique in some way. There are variations in processor (Intel, AMD and more), variations in GPU (Nvidia, AMD, Intel and more), variations in OS (Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 - in 32 and 64 bit varations), variations in service packs installed, driver versions, revisions of DirectX and more. That's before we add variations of display and controller to the equation and before we take into consideration of what's available in any given part of the world...
We've done our best to test the software on as many configurations as are possible, but it's simply impossible to test every possible combination of hardware out there. So sadly, that has meant issues coming to light post release. Again, now we're aware of these issues, we're doing our best to resolve them as soon as possible.
3. Can we have VAC support to prevent cheating?
This is something we're looking at, but only after we've corrected the 'Game Not Found' behaviour, we'll worry about keeping out the cheaters once we know everyone can enjoy the game as we intended it!
4. Will you add character X as DLC?
As much as we'd love to add more characters, this is really a question you need to go to SEGA with. The only confirmed DLC coming for the PC version right now is the Metal Sonic + OutRun track pack. Before the holidays we did start talking to the fans and got a shortlist of characters that fans would love to see in the game, and this has been something we're discussing with SEGA, but there isn't much I can add on this point... yet
As we go through this week, I'll update as we put the known issues to rest.

No Banjo Kazooie or the Metal Sonic + Outrun Track Content.
PC has a Team Fortress, Football Manager, and Total War character and will get the Metal Sonic and Outrun track as DLC soon.
