"sorry, gotta run" - sonic you're driving a car, dude [editline]17th January 2013[/editline] a vehicular racing game based around Sonic, a character whom's biggest strength is running really fast, is just too stupid.

"gotta go at an average pace" -sonic, 2013
Despite above argument, the original was really fun. Glad to see they're adding multiplayer to this one.
All these PC exclusive characters seem really gimmicky/forced. They just don't feel right. Football manager dude? I seriously went "what" out loud when I saw that. Maybe the TF2 one would be alright if they actually used some vehicle related to TF2 in either style or something ingame, like a bomb cart.

While TF2 fits the cartoonish look, who thought football manager would make a good racing character?

Wreck-It Ralph is a playable character, and in one of his lines he asks why Sonic's in a car. :v:
Football manager really that popular?
[QUOTE=FreezingStorm;39258121]Football manager really that popular?[/QUOTE] pretty sure its the top played game on steam at all times [img]http://puu.sh/1P0g9[/img] ok i was wrong, 2nd top played
[QUOTE=bepassley;39258149]pretty sure its the top played game on steam at all times[/QUOTE] I still can't understand this.
I had the demo on wii u, didn't find the game very fun. There's something about these style of games that only Mario kart seems to get right
[QUOTE=Trogdon;39258541]I had the demo on wii u, didn't find the game very fun. There's something about these style of games that only Mario kart seems to get right[/QUOTE] I agree, it just doesn't feel as tight or coherent as Mario Kart. For example, I can't tell what in the hell most of the items in this game do and it's hard to tell what items are being used; the indicators and sounds just don't tip me off in an obvious enough way like Mario Kart does. It's still fun, though, and it's nice to have some freshness for once.

watched someone stream this game. the first time they played as wreck-it ralph, they ended up somehow going through the wall at one point, ending up in glitch world, before being forced back onto the track... suddenly, his second lap was "the final lap!" and then the lap after that was "lap 2". then the race never ended. for anybody. he wrecked it.
Seems like they really botched the Pyro voice?
[QUOTE=legolover122;39258837]And maybe I suck ass at the game but the second event, that boost challenge thing, was damn near impossible even on normal difficulty.[/QUOTE] Were you playing the Wii U version? The Wii U version was actually bugged; the checkpoint rings (which put more time on the timer) that were supposed to appear didn't appear for Boost Challenges and thus made some of the later ones literally impossible to complete. I believe they patched it now, though.

Like you had to fly through a bunch of rings to boost which pause the timer for a short time and you also got one boost powerup. The rings showed up, and the timer paused, but you had to hit like every single one, and that combined with fucking atrocious plane handling and controls made it nearly fucking impossible for me to actually win it.

The voice acting with the Pyro was shiiiiiiiiiiiit. Heck, even the Heavy and the Spy didn't sound like themselves. and i still don't get it why is sonic using a FUCKING CAR
[QUOTE=GreenDolphin;39259270][url=http://www.twitch.tv/fiveleafclover/c/1740216]Sounds very similar[/url][/QUOTE] wow i guess this game has its fair shares of very odd and random bugs. why would the track ever need to unload like that
[QUOTE=Zuimzado;39259390]and i still don't get it why is sonic using a FUCKING CAR[/QUOTE] who fucking cares this game is fun as shit, and being a huge love letter to sega fans makes it even better seriously, dat hornet that transforms into the afterburner jet that transforms into a dreamcast controller

It's getting really tiresome seeing this same post 20 times every time the game gets brought up. And those are the official voice actors so your guess is as good as mine. At least Heavy sounds right, no complaints there. Pyro sounds like they're trying to give him too much enthusiasm, like they're trying to make his voice heard over the loud music. Spy, not sure, just sounds higher pitch than normal. Are there console exclusive characters, or does PC just get some love over the consoles for once?

I'm also tired of people complaining about the logic of Sonic in a car; look, we get it, he's based on speed yet limiting it, haha, who cares? Just deal with it, people.

[QUOTE=Magikoopa24;39261661]Everyone gets exclusives, I think XBOX got Ralph or something.[/QUOTE]Ralph is in all versions of the game. Only the Avatar (XBox 360) and Mii (Wii U) characters are exclusive, PS3 and Vita don't get anything special.
