Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Team Sonic Racing

Wonder why they changed the name, unless this is just Sonic characters which I find it hard to believe.

mikel10152180d ago

I believe it is only Sonic characters, hence the removal of "all-stars"

-Foxtrot2180d ago

Well hopefully they fill the game with lesser known characters we hardly hear from anymore.

Teflon022180d ago

Based on the article it says sonic characters and levels not Sega. So you might get some guest characters but mostly sonic characters. I do hope lesser known characters are in and especially espio. Guess we'll see if I will main tails like the last game. Billy hatcher was my main in the first but I always have back luck where they remove my characters in sequels like MvC2 where my whole squad was removed from 3 and only one character I even know liked to use was in it

-Foxtrot2180d ago

I'm hoping for characters seen in the comics as there are so many which they never talk about in the games. Some do pop up but they always seem to create new characters instead of using what they have.

They have the choice out of characters from the UK Sonic Comics or the US one, mixed list but they have...

Johnny Lightfoot
Porker Lewis
Tekno the Canary
Shortfuse the Cybernik
Grimer
Brotherhood of Metallix
Commander Brutus
Grand Chief Whip
Evil Super Sonic
Drakon Empire
Vector the Crocodile
Espio the Chameleon
Charmy Bee
Mighty the Armadillo
Ray the Flying Squirrel
Nack the Weasel
Princess Sally Acorn
Rotor the Walrus
Antoine D'Coolette
Bunnie D'Coolette
Nicole the Holo-Lynx
Doctor Ivo Kintobor

Hell even the Anti-Morbius world Moebius

Scourge the Hedgehog
Miles Prower
O'Nux
Rosy the Rascal
Princess Alicia Acorn
King Maxx
Boomer Walrus
Jeffrey St. Croix
Buns Rabbot

Newmanator2180d ago

Are you off work today Foxttrot you've been the first comment on every article today lol

ocelot072180d ago

Even though I enjoy them. I was hoping for a new Sonic R.

Teflon022180d ago

Let's be honest, a sonic r game would have been horrible, these games are way better

Gazondaily2180d ago

Nice! I really liked the first game (or the demo)

Teflon022180d ago

You should try the second, apart from the oddly washed out look on every version but Vita imo (probably just the OLED version doesn't). It is arguably the best combat racer and imo better than mk8. The stages are way more creative, transforming midrace etc. Just with it was as polished as Mk.

Gemmol2180d ago

I agree its your opinion that you think it's better than Mario kart 8. In my opinion it was really solid but it would come 3rd after diddy kong racing and Mario kart 8.

Mario kart 8 will forever go down as the best

superchiller2180d ago

Completely agree. The courses, environments, weapons, characters, and music in All Stars Racing Transformed are all far superior to those features in MK8, which was very bland and sterile by comparison.

Gaming_1st2180d ago

@Gemmol

I have to say Mario Kart on the N64 is the best hands down.

Teflon022180d ago

Crash Team Racing and Diddy Kong Racing is the best hands down. Mario Kart 8 isn't even top 5 for me. It was very underwhelming outside of graphics. The Anti gravity never did anything for me because I played Crash Nitro Kart and it was literally an exact clone of how it's done in that game. The gliding, and underwater were completely trash compared to Sonic Transformeds 3 forms. The stage design in Sonic were way more interesting. Though I'll admit, Shy Guy Falls, boos mansion or luigi's mansion (whatever it's called in it and that one stage that opens the middle on second and third lap with the water and thomps lol. Those were great stages, but nothing in that beats the golden axe stage, race of ages, galactic parade, sky sanctuary, and more. Of course it's my opinion. But atleast I can't hate on your taste. You acknowledge the greatness that's Diddy Kong Racing. Last thing is Music. Mario Kart as of late hasn't had memorable music for me and I can't even enjoy the remade music. I like orchestrated music but it's so forced that it's uninteresting. It's not the music type for racing. Sonics music was hands down the best combat racing title music I've ever heard, since Mickey's speedway USA/DKR/MK64. Gameplay, I just love everything in both feel wise. But things like near misses, stunts and bees instead of blue shells (though it does need to be fixed if brought back because it was way too easy to dodge in flying sections)
my top 5
1Tie Crash Team Racing/Diddy Kong Racing
2Tie Crash Team Racing/Diddy Kong Racing
3 Sonic & All-star Racing Transformed
4 Mario Kart 64/DS and I'd probably give the edge to 64 out of nostalgia to be honest
if I was going to add a honorable mention. It's Mickey's Speedway USA (honestly best thing about this game was it's amazing soundtrack and Modnation Racers (roadtrip was better but didn't have online vs so that's why I pick the ps3 version)

rainslacker2179d ago

Not sure I agree with it being better than MK, although there are some things which are better about each, but I do think that the 2nd game was a ton of fun, and it seemed to go under the radar when it released.

I probably wouldn't have even played it if it wasn't a WiiU launch title, but I'm glad I did.

gangsta_red2180d ago

Hells Yeah, even though I was hoping for a direct sequel to Sega All Stars, i'll gladly take this too.

narsaku2180d ago

Unless these guys can top Mario Kart or at least add something unique and worth while to the battle race genre I'll pass. :/

SuperSonic912180d ago (Edited 2180d ago )

You might wanna raise that Mario Kart's bar to Creash Team Racing's level

TallonIV2180d ago

That would lowering the bar lol

SuperSonic912179d ago (Edited 2179d ago )

@TallonIV
CTR was the first true 3D Kart racer I have ever played and still play today on PSOne.
MK on N64 was a smoke and mirrors joke

Teflon022180d ago

imo Transformed was better and that was the previous title from Sumo so it's passed MK bar by default for me personally. Now if they can jump from Sonic and SEGA allstars racing to Transformed level of good to the same amount of jump again. It'd be DKR and CTR bar which is significantly better imo

PlayStation Plus games for March: Ark: Survival Evolved, Team Sonic Racing, Ghostrunner

Ghost of Tsushima: Legends joins the lineup as a bonus game this month.

LG_Fox_Brazil815d ago

Better than I expected. Nice month

GamerRN814d ago

Ghost is a solid get! They didn't even do Death Stranding yet, so I'm surprised.

philm87814d ago

@GamerRN It's just the multiplayer.

GhostofHorizon815d ago

Thought it was a great month before Ark was confirmed to be in there as well. This is fantastic, putting Legends in there as an additional bonus game helps because it always feels weird putting a portion of a game on Plus.

Hope people give it a try, Ghost of Tsushima is one of my favourite games and this mode was fun and had plenty of unique elements. I think at the minimum, check out the story and raid content because there's some really neat things in there.

DaCajun814d ago

Probably just trying to do what they did with Godfall, hoping people will purchase full version after trying this portion of the game. It's just the new demo tactic to boost sales. Given how good Ghost of Tsushima is, it will definitely work.

GhostofHorizon814d ago

Without a doubt it's there to give people a taste of the game. One key difference is that Godfall was counted as one of the free games while this time around they made it a bonus free game. Which make a ton of difference when it come to perception of the offering.

Sayai jin814d ago

Pretty good offerings! Ark is a good get. My youngest has never played it, so he will give it a go. My oldest has it on Xbox so they can't cross play. He just brought the season pass and all the DLC early Feb, but Game Pass Ark Ultimate Edition that has all DLC on it lol.

darthv72815d ago

TSR is pretty fun, though not as fun as ASR Transformed but still fun. I've only played the switch version but I'll gladly earn some trophies on my 5.

Eonjay815d ago

Actually a really good month. And mix these with the new game releases like Horizon and Elden Ring. A really good month couple of months to be gaming right now.

mattyhaxxx2815d ago (Edited 815d ago )

There’s too many games for me to play. Not enough time.

EvertonFC814d ago

Gets Even worse when GT drops

GamingSinceForever815d ago

If you are playing Horizon and Elden Ring alone you won’t have the time for anything else.

I won’t even start Elden Ring until after I get through Horizon, because I can’t see playing them both simultaneously.

Eonjay814d ago

I'm going through Horizon now and like you I'm finishing that first. And so my backlog grows bigger still.

GamingSinceForever814d ago

@Eonjay….Adding to that is the Cyberpunk update that is now another long game in the backlog.

mattyhaxxx2815d ago

Nice I really wanted to try ghosts of Tsushima and been looking to buy ghost runner. Good month. Cheers

darthv72815d ago

i could be wrong but I think that GoT is the multiplayer side, not the main game. either way, you should play the main game anyways... its really good.

mattyhaxxx2815d ago

Well this will give me a taste of the gameplay

Silly gameAr815d ago

It's only the MP portion, but the mp is really good.

Sgt_Slaughter1083d ago

What is?

Witcher III, Slay the Spire, Virtua Fighter 5, and Sonic Mania are an excellent lineup of titles to add.

Smok911083d ago (Edited 1083d ago )

Lol thanks for your thoughts. Let’s now collectively disagree.

waderae1083d ago

How can you disagree with virtua fighter 5? You haven't played it. It's not out.

Hawk1986661082d ago

All the disagreeing are fools. You thinking adding a 6yrs old game thats timed, that's on sale nearly all the time for cheap is a great addition as the main game?? 2 of the games are previous PS+ games so a lot will already have them. And Virtua Fighter nearly everyone will already have that through plus! You're all Clueless

SegaSaturn6691083d ago

Those are great titles. Real treat.

Rocosaurus1083d ago

Love witcher 3, but that game is six years old.

Eidolon1082d ago

Great great game. Would need another playthrough (Gwent and horse racing) to get the platinum, plus I never bought/played the expansions.

monkey6021083d ago

Slay the Spire is an incredible game

Highrevz1083d ago

Agreed but I almost slept on it if I’m honest.

It’s like a traditional turn based RPG without the dramatic story. Monster Train is another good game if you need something similar to Slay the Spire.

monkey6021083d ago

I've heard that actually. Not played it yet though. Good shout!
