Sega Makes Yogscast Racing DLC, Pisses Off Everyone, Rightfully So - Top 5 Alternatives

GG3 picks up the news from Sega and their announcement of adding downloadable content to Sonic & Racing & All-Stars Racing Transformed for charity. Don't expect a Sega character, it's Youtube channel Yogscast that gets the honors. Fans are not pleased and fully right not to be. Here's an explanation and a solution.

how anyone can be pissed off at any type of charity is beyond me, but to each their own i guess

Kran3801d ago (Edited 3801d ago )

Because they could have done something so much better for charity instead...

My_Name_BTW_Is_Dante3801d ago

They're not mad at the charity, they're mad at the character...And it being overpriced at that. Seriously, who would even buy this character? It would be better to support the charity directly.

It also would've been smarter on SEGA's part to actually include a character that people would WANT to buy so they can get more money for the charity.

Who would even think that people would be upset at charity?

kB03801d ago (Edited 3801d ago )

I actually agree here, I'd rather donate straight to charity rather than give sega any satisfaction.

Especially since gamers ahve had petitions to put certain characters in the game....that could have been charity.

Example Ryo Hazuki from Shenmue

SegaGamer3801d ago

I'm sorry but if people are pissed with this then they are just a bunch of babies. This is a good thing, money goes to charity and we get proper DLC, not just DLC that should have been in the game in the first place.

Had they added any characters from the SEGA franchise then it would just be same old story again, characters being added that should have already been in the game.

Yes, yes it is! Damn shame that Sega never made another sequel or even updated this one with new tracks and characters.

"The platform of choice, however, is the Xbox Series X."

Yessir, the game runs extremely smooth because of the frame rate boost. Still, till this day I play Sonic ASR with friends.

darthv72829d ago

Transformed is my favorite of the series. Even Team racing (the next iteration) is pretty good too but I liked transformed better.

gangsta_red829d ago

I tried team racing and it just didn't click with me as much as Transformed did.

I seriously just wish Sega would do another sequel to that game instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.

It was the best alternative to Mario Kart on Xbox/PS

Good list. Personally I’d probably trade the Sonic CD game in this list for Sonic the Hedgehog (1), simply because CD is quite easy so you’ll blast through it, and the original Sonic was basically a new benchmark when it was released which blew everything and everyone at the time away. It also features my favorite zone, Starlight Zone.

I really hope one day we’ll be blessed with a Sonic Mania 2.

RetroCaptainSteve879d ago

Yeah, the first game will always be a classic, but I believe Sonic 2 and 3 moved the chains for the series quite a bit. Sonic CD definitely innovated as well, particularly with its amazing soundtracks and 3D bonus stage. :D

Fntastic879d ago

R was one of my first PC games along with Worms 2 and some others like Virtual Springfield. R was kind of good in a strange way i guess, i didn't hate it at the time.

Sonic CD was decent but I'd say i liked the music more, at least for the JP/EU version, some of the levels felt a bit all over the place and most of the bosses were odd and a bit too easy. Even though the system was a flop too it did have some very good games like Final Fight also which had some great music.

Rebel_Scum877d ago

The 8-bit Sonic’s always get left off these ranked lists.

badboyz09877d ago (Edited 877d ago )

My top top5 (After mid 2000's sadly I stopped playing sonic)
Sonic 2
Sonic adventure
Sonic & Knuckles

2. Sonic rush
3. Sonic unleashed ( day time stages)
4. Sonic generations
5. Sonic advance 2

RetroCaptainSteve877d ago

Good picks! But...SA 2 kinda fell backward on those digging segments. Great rap song tho!
