You can already preorder it in the store. I'd much rather have this team making a much more polished Sonic game, but I guess this is the surefire way to make a profit.

 

[Tailzo]

I never tried Sonic Riders. Wasn't it good, but too hard?

Sonic Riders: Zero Interest

 

[Neo Child]

Lets hope its as good as the first one

 

[CrunchinJelly]

I want a next-gen version.

 

[Kafel]

I want a next-gen version.

I thought we said we'd stop with that ?

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Sonic Riders: Zero Interest

Bravo.

 

[Sage00]

Sonic Team in Japan working on these spin offs.
Sonic Team USA making the main games.

This is fucked up, Sega.

 

[jooey]

seeing as the producer or whoever said they were making a sequel in an interview BEFORE THE FIRST ONE CAME OUT, this is like... a post-rumor?

Sonic Riders: Zero Interest

:lol

 

[Dark Ninja]

I CAN"T WAIT

Spoiler

for the soundtrack

 

[Alpha_eX]

I got given Sonic Riders on GC at some event for game designers, this was about 2 years ago, it's still in the shrink wrap. Not looking forward to this at all, hopefully it turns out good but with the way they've changed sonic, I doubt it will, I hate his 'cool' attitude.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Might be cool if it uses the Balance Board...

>_>

 

[Father_Brain]

What happened to Sonic Musou?

 

[Scribble]

Didn't the first use the F-Zero GX engine?

 

[A Human Becoming]

New Sonic games make me a sad panda.

 

[AdmiralViscen]

Sonic Riders: Zero Interest

:lol

 

[Mgoblue201]

Enough with all of these Sonic games, spinoffs included. What is it going to take for them to go back to the drawing board and reimagine Sonic? You can already see fan reaction at an all time low with the sales of the 360 and the PS3 title (and the Wii title didn't come close to equaling SA2 on the GC). Is it going to take diminishing profits before they finally are willing to give us a stellar game instead of another decent one with some upside and severe flaws? Are they even capable of that?

 

[PhoenixDark]

Zero Gravity...like space...sort of like a galaxy...Galaxy?

Sega takes another L

 

[Oblivion]

Sega really needs to cut off the feeding tube.

 

[Diablohead]

Didn't the first use the F-Zero GX engine?

If it did it failed hard.

 

[ZealousD]

I never tried Sonic Riders. Wasn't it good, but too hard?

It was pretty much the definition of an average game. It wasn't particularly bad, there just wasn't really anything that made it stood out other than the fact that Sonic was in it.

 

[Suikoguy]

I thought we said we'd stop with that ?

Kinda hard to do when the games are for PS2 and Wii

 

[Wario64]

I'm still waiting for the the other rumor to come true: Sonic Musou

This is fucked up, Sega.

I know times have changed, but Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was created in the US. Sure, STI was a mix of US and Japanese talent...but so is Sonic Team USA today (different "talent", unfortunately).

 

[Tailzo]

Zero Gravity...like space...sort of like a galaxy...Galaxy?

Sega takes another L

Like in Nights?

Anyway, I'd like them to work on a great 2d game for consoles again. (I keep hoping, but I hear that's impossible because of Yuji Naka.)

 

[mollipen]

A new Sonic Riders? Hmm...

 

[Lobster]

Seeing as how you'll find a two-page preview on Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity (for PS2 and Wii) on pages 68 and 69 in our (Play) Sept 07 issue... I'd call this a pretty crappy "rumor." (or "rumour" if you'd like.)

Serious? Awesome..hope the Wii is the lead system or..just use Sonic Wildfire engine.

 

[grandjedi6]

Me thinks you'll be disappointed

 

[Rlan]

Riders really was broken at it's core - altering a racing game to allow certain kinds of characters [Speed, Fly, Power] into specific routes was a horrible design decision. It just completely ruins the whole point of the. Kart racing game - Keep it simple, stupid.

 

[angelfly]

I liked the first one even thought the AI got really cheap sometimes. I'm interested in seeing how they improve on it if in fact it is true.

 

[CurseoftheGods]

Sonic Riders: Zero Interest

:lol

 

[Azure Dream]

Vicious AI and an overly-picky ramp jumping system didn't help, either. Still, I liked all the different vehicles you could employ (the boards,

Spoiler

air shoes ala Shadow

,

Spoiler

scooters

, and even a

magic carpet

), and it's one of the few Sonic games to actually have multiplayer bots, for arena-style battle modes no less.

This is most likely a predictable ten-second cash in, reusing the engine and assets and building a few new tracks, with a few more characters. Still, Wii tilting controls and some tweaks to the formula could help it loads.

 

[FightyF]

As long as I'm not the lead producer, Sonic will never regain his former glory.





It's a claim we can all safely make.

Who are you again?

[Slavik81]

A sonic game without running is a sonic game not worth having.

'cept Sonic Pinball. That could be awesome.

 

[Lobster]

You know what would be better..a New Sonic Heroes..that game was a decent Sonic spin off and a game I think would work great with the Wiimote.

 

[Scalpel Knight]

Oh shit, I'm gonna cancel my Bioshock preorder and get on this immediately.

 

[AlternativeUlster]

You are a liar. Stop lying on the internet, liar.
