Multi Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (Sumo Digital)

Platinei o anterior e vale bem a pena. É um rip-off de Mario Kart, mas ao menos copia bem.

Este vai ser compra certa também. Espero é que desta vez seja possível jogar as ligas em multiplayer, para mim uma das grandes falhas do anterior.
 
All-Stars Racing Transformed Coming November, Wii U Confirmed

SEGA is aiming for a November 2012 release for Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. We can also reveal with certainty that the SUMO Digital-developed racer will be heading to Nintendo’s Wii U, with versions for PC, iOS and Android also in the works.

Transformed will feature 16 tracks to race on, with scope for more down the line – the game will definitely see some form of DLC, if things go according to plan. For those attending the San Diego Comic Con, expect a new character reveal too.

SEGA and SUMO are also planning some “unique platform specific features” for the Wii U, 3DS and Vita versions of the game – we’d assume this will boil down to alternative control methods using the various inputs of each platform, but we’d welcome something more dramatic.

The details were announced at the Las Vegas Licensing Expo 2012 (in Las Vegas, obviously), where SEGA appeared to make a big push to sell the Sonic brand to various marketing and licensing partners. Details on the history of the Sonic video game franchise – as well as details on SART – were revealed in a press pack handed to attendees.

NiGHTS to be in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed

This has been a surprisingly awesome sweet sixteen birthday week for NiGHTS into Dreams and its fans. Mere days after a digital HD release of the classic Saturn title was revealed, we now have confirmation right out of Summer of Sonic that NiGHTS will be appearing in the upcoming SEGA crossover racer Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.

NiGHTS and his rival Reala will both feature as vehicles in the game. In the original games, NiGHTS could transform into different vehicles and creatures to better suit certain environments. All-Stars cleverly references this mechanic by allowing NiGHTS and Reala to change into all new vehicle forms. NiGHTS is driven by the childlike Nightopian creatures, while Reala will be driven by the Goodle riding nightmaren from Journey of Dreams. The character designs are based off of Journey of Dreams.

Despite the character designs being based off of Journey of Dreams, the stage is derived from three areas from the first game: Spring Valley, Gillwing’s Lair and Wizeman’s boss arena. Going by the footage, these areas are going to look gorgeous and I can’t wait to play them. If the level is present in the Comic Con demo, we’ll be sure to get you some details and footage of it next week. Until then, you can catch the footage shown at Summer of Sonic here. The Sumo Digital Q&A starts at 27:30 while the footage can be found at 1:17:40. Keep in mind the footage is work in progress.

Amazon.com Outs S&ASR Transformed 'Bonus Edition' and World

Amazon.com and .co.uk have today updated their listings for Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed with a full product description that reveals a ‘World Tour’ mode. This is likely what previews have been referring to as ‘Story’ mode and will be how players unlock new content, much like ‘Planet Superstars’ mode in SEGA Superstars Tennis. Amazon.com has also updated all versions of the game to a ‘Bonus Edition’, though, unfortunately, they don’t explain what this edition of the game includes. We’ll keep an eye out for an update.

The full official product description and packshots from another angle (including the 3DS version’s menu icon) are available after the jump courtesy of Amazon UK:

"Product Description

Sonic and the All-Stars cast line up on the starting grid once again to battle for supremacy in the ultimate race. Compete across land, water and air in incredible transforming vehicles that change from cars to boats to planes mid-race. Master your driving skills as you drift, barrel role and boost to overtake your rivals, or use your weapons tactically and unleash your All-Star move to gain the winning advantage.

It’s not just your fellow racers you need to watch out for, as the road falls away beneath you, or the river runs dry, new routes emerge and your vehicle transforms to take advantage of the terrain. Discover alternative routes and short cuts as you perfect the course in this adrenaline fuelled dash to the finish line – racing will never be the same again.

Features:

Dynamic Tricks: Take to land, sea & air as you race through 16 dynamically changing courses inspired by SEGA’s illustrious gaming history. Discover alternate routes, find new power-ups and avoid emerging hazards as you race to victory – every track feels different.

Choose Your Racer: Race as over 20 legendary All Stars. The starting line-up has been transformed as new iconic characters from the world of SEGA join the race. What other game sees a hedgehog battle it out against a monkey, a sky pirate and an axe wielding dwarf!

Fully Transformable Vehicles: This is no ordinary race. Each character is equipped with their own unique vehicle that can transform into a car, boat and plane to take advantage of the changing terrains. Each vehicle handles differently and players must master all three to triumph.

Tools of Devastation: Utilise an arsenal of devastating weapons which require skill to aim, shoot, evade and block. The All-Star Moves also return, this time the more daring and stylishly you race, the more your All-Star meter increases allowing you to unleash carnage on your opponents!

Ultimate Gaming Experience: Old rivalries can be settled and new ones created in up to 8 player online. Journey through the All-Stars’ world to take on a huge range of modes and challenges, including Grand Prix, Battle arenas and an incredible world tour.

Transform!

* Transform into a Car: Boost and drift your way around the track.
* Transform into a Boat: Tackle dynamic rapids and huge waves to beat rivals.
* Transform into a Plane: Take to the skies to barrel roll and dogfight to victory."

On your marks, get set, GO!… to your local game store, that is, because those of you who pre-order the upcoming Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed will be getting your mitts on a special Bonus Edition of the game, containing exclusive content including an OutRun inspired track and Metal Sonic as a playable character.

Just announced via the SEGA Blog, this limited edition version of the game will be available to those who pre-order in North America while stocks last.

Fresh from his starring role in Sonic 4: Episode 2, he’s back to take on the blue blur once more, this time on the race track! And the air! And the sea!


And as if that’s not enough, the Bonus Edition will also contain an Emoticon Sticker Pack, which you have to collect throughout the game “as rewards for skilful play, high scores and more”.


As it stands, the Bonus Edition appears to only be available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, with no mention of the Wii U or 3DS versions at all.


Also, fear not if you’re not a North American resident, as a Limited Edition of Sonic & All-Stars Racing is planned for Europe as well – but the specific details of which are yet to be revealed.
