The Mystery Behind Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds

[@BeefbossZilla2011]

Imagine we actually get a Crossover between the game universe and the movie universe🥶

[@malimaui2802]

You made a certain point that I didn’t really think about, kind of lol. Dimension hopping may not be from other versions of Sonic, but just different versions of a track. Hopefully information comes soon

[@JakeThehedgehog-m1x]

i swear...they are gonna use the shatterverse concept from sonic prime for this game...when it says dimensions and such i can already! feel it's connection to sonic prime.

[@ironprincedom2611]

'THAT' and the movie characters/versions as DLC!

[@Squorzel]

@@JakeThehedgehog-m1x also the worlds part of the logo looks like the prime part of the logo in sonic prime

[@PrinceVegetaBrief]

Yes, because SEGA would let the Prime series end in 2024 if there was a tie-in coming

[@PrinceVegetaBrief]

It's a new all stars game

[@SeanMaguire02]

Thank god someone is pointing out how absurd stabling Riders boards to the All Stars style wouldn't work for anybody be they Riders fans or All Stars fans.

[@stevenanthony3644]

8:18 me I’m still playing sonic games on Xbox one so yeah.

[@bfdiplushie6695]

They need to bring back Sonic & all star racing transformed because it’s my CHILDHOOD And I hope they remastered the Sonic all star racing transformed in ps4/ps5 Nintendo switch Xbox series x steam

[@bfdiplushie6694]

IOS and Android because I love sonic & all star race transformed

[@Cookies14357]

they should add the other games map like the maps from sonic and all stars racing transformed and the other characters like ulala, beat, gum, etc

[@caguay]

I'm fairly certain that's actually Jet's extreme gear, the tail end shape checks out .....okay here are the emojis ☝🤓

[@cofagrigusfan24]

what if the game is a collab project between Sumo Digital and Hard Light?

[@BlueStride]

Now you're thinking with portal rings. 🤔

[@Cam10_84]

I think Hardlight will probably be working on the apple Sonic Racing and updating it with whatever comes in Crossworlds, so sorta

[@King-n00bi3]

@@BlueStridesome might say they’re in a whole other realm of thinking.

I have a feeling the Extreme Gear might be a part of the Transform gimmick along with other vehicles, though I'm still not holding my breath. I hope this game also gets the extras from the Apple Arcade game, such as the Green Hill race tracks and skins. I was thinking it would be an enhanced port of it from the logo. It'll probably be a celebration of a lot of eras of Sonic. I also think it might be a joint collaboration between Sumo Digital and Sega Hardlight. I hope that Tennis game is also on consoles. TSR was just so mediocre. I consider it the Forces of all the Sonic spinoffs ever. It wasn't a bad game by any means, it just didn't do anything too special or amazing. The updates were very lackluster. It's like they didn't know what to do and ran out of ideas. I like Free Riders more than that game. So I'm sure Crossworlds will be better. While I wouldn't mind if the Racing/All Stars series continued as both series have great games, the Riders series was such a unique competitor to Mario Kart, and it's surprising that no one made a spiritual successor yet, even though they were never the most popular. It would be nice if they continued both and released Riders games alongside kart racers to please all fans, since the Racing series did actually sell a lot more and got generally better reception. There's also more of them, including the SA2 Kart Racing side mode, and some mobile games. The only other most similar racing series I know is SSX. I'm saying this as someone who grew up with Mario Kart. What made this series unique was that they didn't feature cars and they had in depth story modes, and that is something I appreciate as you don't really get that anywhere else, making the experience and characters more memorable, and that goes for the whole Sonic series. Free Riders is in fact my favourite one! Controls always worked well for me. I think it has the best track design in the series, and designing for the Kinect was a really neat idea, but they should have added a controller option. Honestly, optimising for the Kinect must have been really expensive, so in turn the story mode took a downgrade with those cutscenes and simpler plot, though I never hated it as the cutscenes are more expressive than most animated ones and the story is better written and suits a racing game more, plus I like how more characters are involved, plus Metal Sonic. Shame Zero Gravity scrapped most mechanics as it felt boring to play, almost as much as TSR, but it's story would have been really good in a mainline game. The first game didn't have a tutorial, which really affected it's reception, and something that Free Riders did really well. Its graphics look almost as good as Unleashed, and its locations were the most unique. There's just so much untouched potential! I'm grateful there are some fan games and mods that exist. I can't wait for the dx 3.0 update with custom tracks, as it's only in X at the moment! I Also checked out a Roblox fan game, and was reminded of the forgotten battle mode, and I thought, imagine custom battle arenas! Would you want the next game to feature this? I think it could be really good if they had bigger arenas and better items! What sort of story should the next game have? Should it play more like the first game or even feature the Zero Gravity gimmick? Free Riders played more like the first but slightly more simplified and had really cool setpieces and side modes, so I would love gameplay which takes that further! It would be good if they did something like that to make it more accessible, plus a detailed tutorial mode! This is why I disagree that their gameplay is way too in-depth for casual gamers, and that is proof that they can simplify it to be accessible enough while maintaining that core feel. And if you want more Riders gameplay, at least Speed Simulator has Extreme Gear.

I still use my Xbox One… S.

[@ddsbo]

no shame in that don’t listen to him

[@Squorzel]

@ yeah it’s fine obviously, it was a joke from him as well probably
