Looks really good and also graphically a lot better than the new Mario Kart too

I advertised for Google Stadia
(basically ex AM3/Sega Ross/team Sega Rally/Star Wars Racer)
Shadow Generations was fire.
Sonic Cross Worlds will be a volcano.
Now, shut the fuck up, old Sega fans, take time to play your huge backlog and wait for the return of the king Sega (Alien Isolation 2, new Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, Shinobi, Sonic Cross Fucking Worlds and so much dope from console + arcade teams working together again)

Oh my.. that changes things massively. Positively.

Looks so good. At first I was like ehhhh, then they started changing up everything and it was amazing. Very hype for this

Yup !
It's finally in-house !
On top of that, it's co-developed with one of the best arcade racer team ever...
Sega of Japan is on fire.

Wake up, Gaf.
Sega characters are confirmed. (by Sega)
With some deep cuts
(Sega racing arcade teams are probably working with Sonic Team on this one. That's how it is now at Sega... arcade teams joined console teams for absolute bangers)
Until they show actual SEGA characters as being playable this could mean anything from background/stage props to assists functions...hopefully they are actually playable.

More important than gimmick extra characters, there are already Galaxy Force 2 stage for instance.
In Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, there were just Sega guest characters, nothing more...
Sega themed levels > Sega guest characters (both is better of course)

True but there is no MK9 on my Series S and your PS5...Great timing as ever Sega.
Ok, your uncle and grand mother will play MK9. What about many of us ?
Plus, cross play is confirmed...

I honestly dunno if I'm watching this new game or just a mix up videos of preview racing games of Sonic.
Also the "tricks" looks very weird. Like one of those bugged models flipping on the air in all directions. Tails looks like a retard doing all quick air tricks in the air for a long time.
The impression I get is that plane controls aren't great, as the person playing seems like having great difficulty to pass through ring boosts.

Oh dude if this game has Sam Gideon from Vanquish sliding around the track on his rocket powered ass I'm gonna lose my mind.
I just went from 0 to 100 on hype for this game.

Having this game for launch on Switch 2 guarantees it will be a long seller. Perfect timing.Great timing as ever Sega.

I could totally see SEGA selling their "classic" characters to their older supporters (unfortunately)

Breaking news (?)Great timing as ever Sega.
It seems that MK9 will be Switch 2 exclusive...
And Cross Worlds will be available on Switch 1 + PS/Xbox/PC + cross play.
Sega has this time a boulevard ?

I was hoping this would be the case with the name "crossworlds". As long as I get a samba de Janeiro track, I'm good.

I saw that after posting. Encouraging!There are Sega All Stars levels:
Galaxy Force themed level...

Not that bad because there is no Switch version of MK9.(Switch 2 exclusive) On the other hand, Cross World will be available on Playstation 4, Xbox One, Switch 1...
Now, imagine an earthquake at the Switch 2/MK9 factories
Plus, it's a long term game with season pass and cross play (unlike Transformed or TSR)

On top of that, Sonic Adv2 level is basically a more colorful and enhanced version of After Burner's stage seen in Transformed. It's also has more visual variety with obviously Metal Harbor elements.

I forgot what thread I was in and was trying to wrap my head around a Switch Exclusive Mortal Kombat for a couple of minutes.

Ha ha ha
Sonic Cross Worlds has everything:
- Cleared road (MK9 isn't on Switch... No Crash Team Racing 2, no LBP racing 2 at the horizon)
- Good technical balance : Transformed was boxing above its weight on PS360 (30 FPS)
- The right consoles: Transformed was too ambitious for the Wii and therefore the Wii U was chosen... bad luck for Sega.
- Cross play
- Hardlight will again make an amazing port on mobile sooner or later.
- Sonic movies momentum
Cross worlds will crush the previous Sonic Racing games and could become one of Sega's biggest spin off within the Sonic franchise

The tricks are sped up with an upgrade. There's other videos that show the tricks much slower.

Honestly... im a little worried. I mean I hope i am wrong as I like Kart games, but the whole world shifting mechanic really means that well crafted tracks are out the window and replaced by track "bits"
Like I never imagined when driving "oh I wish part of the course is randomised" it just feels off to me.

Got a code, it looks really nice, runs smoothly and handles well, but it's incredibly chaotic and I have no idea what a lot of the items are doing. Also not a fan of the music. While there's some decent remixes in there, some just don't fit the mood at all. Still quite promising though and I'll probably buy it.

What time is it?
The karts feel so heavy and transforming every few seconds kind of ruins the gimmick.
Is it really? Mario Kart 9 might be the perfect advertisement for a new Sonic Racing game.

I would literally rather have skinny Lizzo **** in my mouth than have to play this game for longer than 15 minutes. No joke.

Music was the only thing left in SEGA besides those terribles game.
Even games like Sonic 2006 or Sonic Lost World have amazing OST.
After Sonic Frontiers I knew it they would either fire the music team or the music team retire/get out of the company.
I don't think Sonic racing games are in the same league as Mario Kart.

I'm not sure how MK would be a good advertisement for Sonic Racing, but I was speaking personally. I don't need two kart racers in my life at the same time.
Exactly but getting your name mentioned next to it can bring you attention.

Where is Mario or Princess Zelda as Guest Special Characters

Whats is funny is that you can tell this from the gameplay videos some previews provides.
Really dissapointing, I was feeling they would do a bait and switch of looking like the All-star racing series.
At this point would be better to simply remaster the All-Star Racing game. But gods above, after what they did with Colors, remixing worse versions of all music (who knows why), I'm sure they would do a terrible job again.

Get Transformed. If you don't like that one, then Sonic Racing isn't for you.
