U.S. retailers Gamestop and Walmart have updated their product pages for Sonic & SEGA All Stars Racing with some new tid-bits of information. If the information is true the game will have 20 characters and 24 tracks total.
Here’s the information as listed on their site’s –
* Party racing fun Battle it out in single player, challenge your friends in 4 player split-screen or compete in 8 player online action! Game modes include Grand Prix, Arcade and Time Attack.
* All your favorite racers Choose from 20 different characters from the Sonic & SEGA universe including Sonic, Tails, AiAi and Amigo.
* High Velocity Vehicles Every character drives their own unique vehicle including sports cars, bikes, monster trucks, planes and even a giant banana to perform special maneuvers!
* All-Star moves Race by a competitor with a variety of pick-up weapons (missiles, mines and other obstacles) or one of the 20 unique character moves such as Tails’ tornado, Samba’s conga line, and much more!
* Stunning visuals Race over medieval castle ramparts, under lush rainforest canopies and through bustling cityscapes as you battle through 24 challenging tracks from the Sonic and SEGA Universe.
The information looks like a legit press release of sorts that SEGA could have passed on to retailers but we’ll wait for a full confirmation from SEGA/Sumo Digital. In terms of the character and track totals, we could hopefully see more via downloadable content though if the leaked box art info is right plus Sumo Digital have previously expressed an interest in it so fingers crossed.
Its going to be so cool, can’t wait <3
HOLAS: ™
20 is kinda low, if that’s true I hope it is just the initial roster (and we have like 5 or 10 more to unlock).
I could have sworn S0L said it was 24 characters and 20 tracks…
@ nuckles87
I don’t recall him saying anything on character and track totals. All I know is Craig Duncan from Sumo Digital vaguely says there are between 20 and 40 tracks in this interview – http://sonicstadium.org/news/jv247s-video-interview-with-sumo-digitals-craig-duncan
Its time to play : Lets name all 20 characters!
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, Eggman, Big, Alex Kidd, Ryo, AiAi
Billy Hatcher, Samba monkey, JetSet Radio dude, Someone from GoldenAxe,
Someone from House of the Dead
Then possibly : Someone from Streets of Rage, Someone from NiGHTS, Someone from Phantasy Star/Skies of Arcadia.. Altered Beast maybe and then the format exclusive character..
20 is a good amount its no cluster fuck like mario kart wii was. besides since theirs now DLC there can be more in the future!
ok jix, let’s start who is confirmed for sure, 14 characters (7 from Sonic, Aiai, Amigo, Alexx Kidd, Beat, Billy, Ryo, and that zombie duo from House the Dead).
Last 6
I think NiGHTS, Ulala, The chaotix (all in one car), Bug, Either Axel or BD Joe from Cazy Taxi and the guest star.
^ there will be no more sonic charas in asr so no chaotix
Also no NiGHTS.
I’m thinking Ristar XD
@Eggman 123
Who says there will be no more Sonic characters? There could be a bunch of some unlockable Sonic characters that they haven’t revealed yet. Heck if they included Big, there is a good chance they’d include Cream, Silver or Jet.
I’d imagine that at least one of the Babylon Rogues would appear if that was the case, seeing as they are racing characters.
I’d be happy to see Ristar make a return =) probably unlikely though =(
@sonictoast
Sumo said that. look it up. i too wanted to see another sonic character but maybe as dlc
I don’t think anymore Sonic characters are going to happen. I do see a return for Ristar though.
