No.853 [View All]
A new year'll mean new news, so I've made this thread in order to accumulate news for those unable to get it.
First Sonic news of the year: Both Sonic Mania and the Collector's Edition will be ported to the Nintendo Switch by Tantalus Media, the same company who helped port The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess to the Wii U.

I'm really annoyed that the trailer had no gameplay to show at all. Makes it seem like they aren't confident in the game. Trailer animation is really bad too, but that might just be my inherent dislike of the Modern models

New information on Team Sonic Racing will be covered in this week's Famitsu issue on June 7. From this preview, Rouge the Bat and E-123 Omega have been confirmed as playable characters, while the Black, Blue, and Crimson Wisps have been confirmed as powerups. For racers we have so far, there's:
>Sonic
>Tails
>Knuckles
>Shadow
>Rouge
>Omega
>Egg Pawn
That leaves 8 unrevealed characters.

So we got Team Dark and Team Sonic. If we're following the standard Heroes team formula, then the rest should be Team Rose (Amy, Cream, Big) and Team Chaotix (Espio, Vector, Charmy) with likely Metal Sonic and Eggman joining the Eggpawn as Team Eggman.
That does leave out Silver and Blaze, so that would be unfortunate unless they replace someone on Team Rose or Team Chaotix gets dropped.

New information and gameplay footage for Team Sonic Racing have just come out.
A Kotaku UK article states that the game has you race with the team of the character you pick. Items can be requested by any teammates who have fallen behind and transferred to the first fallen-behind teammate who accepts it. You can perform Team Ultimates, powerful speed boosts, by slipstreaming (trailing behind a teammate for a certain amount of time), passing items to your teammates, or using your items to hit other racers.
The E3 build, sent to a small group of journalists, features Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge, and Omega as playable characters, while blue and orange Egg Pawns take up the remaining racers as CPUs.
The gameplay footage features Orange and Red Wisps in addition to the already-confirmed Black, Blue, and Crimson Wisps, as well as brand-new voice clips recorded, a first for Sumo Digital's racing games.

A new interview between Iizuka and Gameblog has just come out.
>In Team Sonic Racing, why did you decide to remove all the other characters from Sega (from licenses like Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Shenmue, Super Monkey Ball, etc.) and focus on the characters of the Sonic universe?
<Team Sonic Racing is a brand new racing game taking place in the world of Sonic. This is not a continuation of previous All-Stars games. Our plan from the beginning was therefore to focus on the characters in the Sonic universe.
>Do you not think the previous All-Stars Racing offered a satisfying balance between Sonic characters (there were 7 in All-Stars Racing Transformed) and Sega characters?
<Yes, in fact, I have never asked that so many characters from the Sonic universe be integrated into Sega All-Stars Racing. Personally, I would have preferred that there were a greater variety of Sega characters in these games.
>Will there be guest characters from other Sega or outside licenses?
<There is currently no plan for adding additional characters.
>In All-Stars Racing Transformed, you could fly planes and boats, the circuits were transformed and were rather spectacular. The Team Sonic Racing demo that I tried only offered a circuit, itself quite classic, featuring only "normal" cars. Why did you decide to go back to more classic races?
<The interest of an All-Stars Racing game is much wider, similar to that of a party game. We wanted to offer a variety of characters and gameplay so that there is something for all players. Team Sonic Racing, on the other hand, is more focused on the driving technique and the elements related to the competition.
>How did the idea of using a team system of three characters come to you?
<The objective in racing games has always been to finish first in the race, which has the effect of making stoic games. Being Number 1 is ecstatic, but all the other participants in the race are disappointed with their result. The winner did not really have anyone to share the joy of victory. We wanted to change this style of gameplay and create a racing game in which you can share this joy with others. This led to the integration of the teams.
>How can a human player cooperate with characters controlled by artificial intelligence?
<Your artificial intelligence-led partners offer you their items and communicate with you during the races. Even if you're the only human player playing, we want your artificial intelligence-led partners to interact with you in a way that makes you feel part of a team.
>I was told that there were certain elements scripted in the single-player. Can you tell us more about this?
<Even though we did not create an epic adventure, we created the Team Adventure mode that tells a story as you go along. So you have a motivation to continue until the end, even if you play alone. All characters in the game will be introduced to you in Team Adventure mode, making it a good starting point.
>On Switch, will the local multiplayer game allow twelve players to play in the same room (with 12 consoles or less in the case of split screen games)?
<We are still under development. So I can not go into too much detail about the final configurations.
>What are the resolutions and framerates on the different machines?
<We are still under development. So I can not go into too much detail about the final configurations. But we are working to get the best resolution and framerate possible on all machines.
>Since this is a racing game with only Sonic game characters, can we deduce that the license "All-Stars" is dead?
<No. As I said before, this game is not connected to the All-Stars games. This is a brand new Sonic racing game.
>How has the success of Sonic Mania impacted Sega and Sonic Team's strategy for future Sonic games?
<We are very grateful that hardcore fans have really welcomed Sonic Mania, and that new and young players have been introduced to Sonic via Sonic Mania. As such, it is a very good game for the Sonic brand. Sonic Mania Plus will be released next month and we hope that more people will discover the classic Sonic experience and that it will make them want to be interested in Sonic Forces, Team Sonic Racing and other great games we have and cannot wait to show to everyone in the future.
