He drove the Hornet in the VF Kids cut scenes. But this is fine too.jetsetfluken said:Hmm...combining Jacky from VF and Outrun car into one character...I guess that was smart. I mean, what else would Jacky drive?
Danthrax said:So here's how I see the pros and cons between the 360 and Wii versions, which I'm still undecided between:
Xbox 360 pros
- teh HD!!1!11
- Gamerpoints (lol)
- Possible DLC
- Easier to play with people online
Xbox 360 cons
- Stupid Banjo-Kazooie on boxart and in game I've never played a Banjo game, I don't care about him and he doesn't belong in a Sega game
- One-piece controller, which is less comfortable than Wii's two-piece controller
- More expensive
Wii pros
- No fucking unnecessary bear-with-bird
- Two-piece controller (Wiimote+nunchuk), which is more comfortable
- Less expensive
Wii cons
- 480p only, boo-hiss
- No DLC!
- No gamerpoints (lol)
- Harder to play with people online
I just don't know...
Upsidedown Fuji said:Well, the pros and cons pretty much balance out according to what you typed above. I'd go with whatever one your friends are getting. Online play is going to be where your replay value is really going to pay off. I'm getting the 360 version because I'm a graphics whore.
The biggest nitpick I have ever seen.Danthrax said:Xbox 360 cons

It works without Akira being there, he feels out of place :lol but cool.Rlan said:
Now can you Outrun whiners stop it now? :lol

Who complains over having more characters?
So am I and I don'y like Banjo.Gravijah said:A Sonic fan from the early 90s.
B_Rik_Schitthaus said:Mo' stuff mo' fun.

S0L said:You can blame Akira on our Japanese producer - he's a massive VF fan.
They work really well in game, trading blows for example and Akira is integral to their All-Star move too.
Besides, Jacky + Akira in a bright red sportscar. How much more love could we send AM2 in one racer slot.
For all those moaning about Banjo in the 360 version too - he's purely an extra character that appears in the character select screen. There is no change to the games title in-game - it looks exactly like it does on the other platforms. Why folk feel the need to complain about something extra you're getting for free, I don't know. If it really offends you so much you could always print out your own custom box cover

Poona said:FWIW though I love Banjo being in the game. I loved playing Diddy Kong Racing, where Banjo made his debut and also raced, and to see him doing it all over again at least to some degree makes up for there being no follow-up to Diddy Kong Racing (whether it was Donkey Kong Racing or the later Sabreman Stampede).

God, I knew it. I knew it all along.

SecretBonusPoint said:Seeing JSR stuff not cel-shaded always feels amazingly wrong. JSR and some of the Sonic levels are good picks for tracks but theres a lot of really...weird choices that lead me to believe being able to just grab Gamecube/Xbox assets was what lead to most of the track decisions due to the ease of going with already created concept art/basic geometry/textures that just needed up-rezzing. This is the only way I can possibly explain any kind of Billy Hatcher track making it in :lol
Ben2749 said:It's great how open you are in talking to people and addressing questions, S0L, but I'd be lying if I said that I wouldn't like to see you unleash the unbridled fury that some of the stupider people/questions must bring on when they make light of the hard work you guys put in.
RAMPAGE. You'll feel better for it.
Did you guys play that one level late in the game where you have to roll the egg that must not be broken on a track around a gate while you go through and you have to get through fast or else the egg will get out ahead of you and break but the camera can't fucking get around the gate so you have to do it blind?S0L said:Can't you guys simply accept that we like Billy Hatcher?

No Saturn characters, even in the make believe wishlist? You guys really must hate SEGA's best system. :/S0L said:Nah, it's been easy. All we did is everytime I saw moans and complaints, we adjusted the character roster downwards.
You'd have had Ristar, Vectorman, Sketch Turner, Gilius, Joe Musashi and a host of others if it wasn't for all the wahhhwahhhh on the forums Been surprisingly carthartic that.
Good job we started with so many, else it would have been a Sonic Time Trial game on one Seaside Hill track.
Also Jacky and Sarah in one car? How would they manage to race whilst she was busy trying to kill him?
