SEGA says no interactions with base roster and collaboration characters in Sonic Racing CrossWorlds

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds looks like it is shaping up to be a great experience for racing fans with a healthy roster of traditional Sonic the Hedgehog characters and third party IPs. Sadly though it seems as those the traditional Sonic the Hedgehog roster won’t interact with characters such as Joker from the Persona series and Kasuga Ichiban. The news was revealed in a recent interview with Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka.

Earlier, you said that there will be interactions between characters, but will there be interactions between Sonic and the collaboration characters? For example, a combination of Sonic and Kasuga Ichiban…

lizuka: There is no dialogue for collaboration characters. Because of the IP, the voice dialogue is limited to the 24 Sonic characters.

  1. Sad apart about it is that that’s a good reason to not get the game and I say that rhetorically

  2. So, what was the point of a collaboration crossover if they only are showcased characters? Weird and sad.

  3. I want Ecco the Dolphin driving a cart against Sonic. Toe Jam & Earl as playable characters. My squad from Phantasy Star IV. Vector Man!!!! Wonder Boy lets go!!!! Have the guy from Comix Zone up in there lol – forget IP and just grab everyone from those classic Sega console roster no matter who owns it. Scorpion and Sub-Zero! A raptor from Jurassic Park! Let’s do it!

  4. Seriously, no interactions? That’s a huge missed opportunity! Part of the fun of crossovers is seeing characters from different worlds react to each other. This just makes the ‘crossworlds’ feel so shallow. Very disappointing to hear. When you need to reduce stress, you can play drive mad game.

  5. Honestly, it makes sense from a development and licensing perspective. Voice acting for every possible interaction between dozens of characters, especially licensed ones, would be a nightmare for costs and rights. While it’s a bit of a bummer, I get why they’d do it. Finally, recommend a stress-relieving drift boss game.

  6. As long as the racing gameplay is solid and the tracks are fun, I don’t really care if Mario and Sonic don’t chat it up. It’s a racing game, not an RPG. Focus on the core mechanics, and I’m happy If you’re struggling with naming, why not try using Wheel of Names?
