Based on the designs of what we have seen, I think characters are locked to their cars, but we can probably heavily customize aspects of them.

If only one Chaotix member gets in it will absolutely be Vector, but there are many more choices for large characters to pick from now. Zavok is a likely candidate especially considering he is a bad guy and that fits with the team focus.
I would say espio tbh

But If I were to be bet, you are getting both.

I don't think omega , cream, and charmy are going to be in this game.

idk

I could totes see it being the four Sonic Heroes teams + Team Eggman with the Doc, Metal Sonic and Egg Pawn.

Classic Team STK and Team Hooligan for DLC pls

I don't think so. There are popular sonic characters that aren't heroes that have replacements

I could totally See rose instead of being Amy, Cream and Big. Being Amy, blaze , and like vector. And before you say vector is unfounded, vector was on amy's team in a riders game. In that scenario, there is no chaotix. So that leaves room for the weirdo team. Weirdo Team could be Silver, Chaos , and like Zavok or something. And before you say " Zovok or the d6 aren't popular and they suck " my retort is " I know that, that doesn't mean sonic team knows that or cares because they certainly keep using them "

And then Eggan team is Metal Sonic, infinite, and Dr. Eggman. And Eggpawn is just an extra racer that was used for in game modes you can unlock.

I am considering tackling Sonic Lost World in my Steam game list next, and I will probably use the Switch Pro Controller for this game. I played a fair share of platformers so I would like to know how this game feels like to play. Given that the only other Sonic 3D game that I played (besides Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic R) is Sonic Heroes, I probably didn't have much to base my expectations on Sonic.

Do you all have any pointers?

Seeing as this post hasn't got any responses, I will post it again just in case it was overlooked:
Do you think Sonic had enough characters to fill in for a Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine 2, assuming it would have been based on Puyo Puyo Tsu? I know that by the time an adaptation of that game were to be released, the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog would have been past history, but the game seems to leave an impression on those who enjoyed the blob-clearing game. Reason for asking is how Puyo Puyo 2 had so many opponents so I'm wondering if Sonic is able to replace them all.

I am not one to catch up on enemies in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, but I imagine that there could be enough enemies if they decide to really dive into other episodes, so we could have seen weird stuff like Warpnik, Dr. Qwark and even Super Robotnik (to replace Masked Satan).

Thank you for reading.

It's uh... inconsistent. Which can lead to frustration.

I don't hate Lost World... but... out of all the 3D Sonic games you could play, why this one?

It was cheap on a Steam sale so I got that game but I haven't bothered with it, and besides, I am going through my backlog. and I am quite curious about it given that I like platformers, and I plan to beat it to completion without going through the hidden levels.

I guess in a way I am probably saving the better one for later, though I didn't have Generations in my Steam account yet.

Thank you for reading.

Well, I suppose playing Lost World frist will help you appreciate Generations all the more.

I WAS SUPER WRONG

Omega is super playable, some magazine images came out. Also Rrouge's care looks fire.

I hope they have team dialog if you race with certain characters on the same team.

Also omega's car looks like legos. Also , Shadow is at car like 4 or 5 and rouge has two very expensive looking cars. GUN pays well apparently

Dunno about you peeps but I am liking Shadow's vehicle.
I need a new trailer that showcases more of the gameplay tbh

Yeah, I'm highly suspecting it'll be basically Sonic Heroes plus Team Eggman in terms of the cast. That would make 15 characters.

GUN pays well, or whoever they work for now.

I wonder if they got gun logo's on they shit like shadow's car in transformed. That was weird. The jet form was fire though

Professor Beef can you change your tag to "Deadly Six edition", it's the only way for you to repay for your nocturne crimes, cheers in advance.

Y'all talking about some Sonic Racing here? o.o
I was gonna talk about the glorious snake pass OST and its criminal lack of a release of some variety, but yeah Sonic Racing, that's a neat thing.

I'm expecting at least two SWERVE characters, the two characters of the heroes lineup taking the boot for these shocking reveals being Charmy and Omega.
Err okay, not Omega.

Cool to see Team Sonic Racing announced for Japan immediately. SEGA Superstars Tennis and ASR notably never released there, and Transformed took like two years to arrive there.

As for the Deadly Six, I think they make a lot of sense for racers but considering the roster size I think they could end up being bosses (like the tank thing from Transformed) or something. Zazz has grown on me and I have always liked Zeena's design so they would not be the worst possible additions ever or anything I guess. That would be Mephiles.

I would say espio tbh

But If I were to be bet, you are getting both.

I don't think omega , cream, and charmy are going to be in this game.
Nah, Espio has notably missed out on loads of playable slots in the past like the Olympics titles. Plus, this game is going to need as many large characters as it can get for the power class.

It's weird how accustomed to old reused out-of-context voice clips the ASR games have made me.


That means that Kirk Thorton had to re-record his shadow voice and make it decent like in forces.

So that's fine by me

Edit: Just thinking, despite being just sonic. Nights could legit be in this game

Game looks alright for my tastes. Looking forward to seeing more than one set of B-roll, though.

(Really, I just wanted to note before it's too late that on 50ppp this page is nice)

The amount of dialog is pretty annoying, but it is nice to hear unique voice clips for a change. Seems like SEGA's actually giving this one a decent budget for once thankfully.

That said, I will also totally miss contextually awkward ones like when Ryo Hazuki smashes someone off a course and he calmly says "Sorry, I'm in a hurry".
