This is actually real, I saw a video of it. It unfortunately got privated though.

This. It's nowhere near as much fun for Sonic if he just instantly wins against everybody not named Shadow. Besides, he didn't make the rules, so if he wants to compete here, he has to follow them, too.

A hollow shell.

After the death of Sonic Riders, every Sonic racing game has been just that. A hollow shell, made by folks who don't properly understand the appeal of Sonic and how to translate that to a racing medium. And who are either too stupid or too cowardly to use the proper winning setup that was used previously.

This looks to be no different.

F*** you, Kinect. Just, seriously... f*** you.

The track variety is insane, especially compared to Team Sonic racing which felt like 4-5 tracks split into 15 similar tracks

Crossworlds looks like 30 tracks already, and it's using p much everything featured in a Sonic game in the last 10 years, as opposed to just Generations

Not a demo but a beta launch on the 29th through Monday I think, you can play 12 sonic characters and 2 crossover characters Ichiban from Yakuza and Joker from Persona 5 during it

Kind of with you... Spongebob, Minecraft, and even Pac-Man (even though I like Pac-Man) are a bit weird... There's already too many Sonic characters that they could make a stupidly large roster of just them... Granted then the roster would have to include shit like the rest of the Deadly Six...

I have more leeway for the Sega crossovers though... I'll definitely be playing as Ichiban because just randomly having a realistic adult human man in the roster of cartoon and anime characters is hilarious to me and I love Ichiban...

The only IDW character I really know is Surge... But I'd take them over The Deadly Six or like Charmy the Bee...

You're right, the no voice thing is bullshit regardless though...

My biggest problem so far, aside from the firm confirmation that the NS2 version is on a proper cartridge, is that this seems to be primarily Sonic racing, and not Sega All-Stars racing.

Vyse is the reason I liked Transformed so much.

Team Sonic Racing was the previous, and yeah, it wasn't as good. It requires teamwork to be decent instead of being individually skilled. If the racer count was higher it might have been better about it

The 1st Crossworlds beta was surprisingly fun but chaotic cuz items were all over the place, and we didn't know what some of them did or how to avoid it.

Crossworlds has the Car/Boat/Plane stuff from transformed + Xtreme Gear from Riders, so it's pretty similar.

I don't think it's worth $60 though especially given all the microtransactions that the game will have.

$60 or even $70 should be the base game and season pass.

Not really, since it's half-baked. The crossover characters don't even have voice acting. They're mute, lack character interactions, and basically may as well not exist. They're just shallow husks.

Iizuka basically excused the "no voices" thing as a "we just want to get the guest characters out in a timely fashion without having to worry about schedules lining up or certain things being approved." Considering how many lines each character seems to have, I can understand where he's coming from.

It just makes it seem like they were an afterthought though. Maybe the guest voices are something they can patch in later (IIRC Hatsune Miku didn't have her voices until recently), but eh....

I sorta get it, but I feel like people would rather wait for what feels like a full character over getting a shallow husk quickly. That was a huge issue with the initial Nicktoons Brawl, it all felt so shallow because there was no voice acting or anything.

And if they were worried about it taking too long and causing gaps, it's not like they have a shortage of Sonic characters not in the game that they could've filled those gaps with, even if at the expense of a few less guest characters.

I dont mind the crossover characters but I would happily trade them away for actual Sonic characters.

It's got Sonic in the name, of course it sells.

The previous kart racing games were also good, the last one was the only blunder IIRC.
