Sonic Team Racing will be the Melee of the Sega Racing series
Huh. Am I excited? Maybe…
SEGA: Here’s our new Sonic Racing Game
Me: Eh..it looks alright, don’t know if I wanna buy it.
SEGA: Big The Cat is playable
Me: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!
This game is better than Forces
Of course, anything Sonic not made by Sonic Team is good.
It’s a bit absurd but it’s the reality. Fans or ther companies knows how to make a good/decent Sonic game
Will it still have plane and boat segments? That’s what made the previous game stand out to me
Unfortunately not. That feature also gave the game some uniqueness compared to other games, but now that’s gone, the game looks pretty “meh.”
All Stars Racing Transformed still looks better, ngl.
But, this ain’t bad. I still wanna try it.
I was really pleased to hear a new Sonic Racing game was on the way but they can stick all this team tactic rubbish where the sun don’t shine, I’m out.
Just show me Silver, Blaze, Vector, and Infinite as playable racers (not necessarily on the same teams) and my attention will be back on this game.
Still no hint of Infinite? Bah. Gimme Infinite, bitches! D:< I'm tired of beating him up in Sonic Forces and want to play as him even if it's just racing.
