Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing Sequel

Yup. There will be a PC version. And judging by one of these comments (Look for Krazy Bean 14's question), the frame rate is going to be a significant step up on the console versions. Online play is implied.

Well, as long as we're dreaming:

• Jack as a playable character.
• Howard and Kreese as optional announcers.*
  "Bayonetta has taken the lead!" "Nice rack on her!" "Aw, true that!"

Oh man, characters from Platinum Games' games would be so cool.

Wondering if they're dropping certain characters because their conversions would be tricky. *looks at Ryo Hazuki*

@ Beta Ray: FISTBUMP GET.

The first stage we saw was based on Panzer Dragoon (didn't see that one coming).

And a more in depth look at the Monkey Ball stage.

Edit: Huh, now the links decide to work for some reason.

If only Platinum Games could've kept some of their Capcom properties...

Gene racing around in a go-kart and throwing Headslicers at people would've been great.

Oh, I just remembered; we need more Daytona in S&S2.

Let's get Dinosaur Canyon as a racetrack and the Hornet as a playable driver.

A panzer dragoon stage? That's a load of win, so glad Sega still acknowledges that series' existence. The concept art is AMAZING, looks better than the actual game <_<.

I want to race in Lashiec's castle.

I vaguely recall these tracks being mentioned before >_>

In any case, the art and screenshots look great. I'm eager to see more.

Online 4 player split screen confirmed

So you can have 4 players on one console simultaneously playing with other people online.

This game just keeps getting better and better.

Man, the description of that Golden Axe character makes me smile. Funnily enough, this game might be the first thing to like anything from Golden Axe, even if it's not actually Golden Axe.

The description of the All-Star Moves this time around makes me wonder whether or not the All-Stars might be weaker this time around to compensate for the new mechanics for acquiring them.

This game is starting to sound godlike.

Hopefully the 4-split online thing gets working on the 360 version...looking at you, Capcom.

Four players, on one console, online all at once? That's unprecedented, and awesome.

THREAD REVIVAL!

New trailer, new tracks and new characters.

Golden Axe and Jet Grind Radio tracks. Joe Musashi and Shadow confirmed.

Now this is how you do a thread revival... give us some new info to chew on!

Shadow was inevitable, but Musashi getting in is cool. The later tracks getting darker and harder is thematically appropriate, I guess. I know they said that they were looking for more sources to draw tracks from already, but to have that point reinforced is nice.

Also, I saw some interesting faces in the trailer. It's looking so good.

I'll admit. I'm much more interested than this than in playing my Mario Kart 7. Once again, as a handheld gamer, I'm hoping for at the very least, better graphics for the 3DS version so that if it's the same tracks as the console version, I won't feel as if I'm missing out. I'd also say Vita but I suspect it'll have the same feel. What I'm going to be on the eye for is diferences between handhelds from consoles and then 3DS from Vita. (If it's going to the Vita but I think it will.)

EDIT: So evidently it's only for the Vita. Fine by me. I need another game for it than Persona 4: Golden.

I think there is a 3DS version, but I can't remember where I heard it.

Every track uses a different game for the base? Ooh, that's actually pretty awesome.

Sumo's getting hardcore with their track selection, too, that's cool.

So, what's Golden Axe and Jet Set Radio?

The question is whether or not Shadow will be as infamously broken as he was in the original.

Joe Musashi? Hooray for the Shinobi love.

That water level from Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master would make for an interesting stage, but I doubt we'll be seeing any more Shinobi representation besides Joe. Which is ok. At least he made it in.

@ Tech: SON I AM DISAPPOINT. 8|

Golden Axe is a beat 'em up set in a fantasy, Dark Ages-esque period. Jet Set Radio is more or less teen gangs in the future fighting turf wars via graffiti while fending off an evil corporation. Better Than It Sounds. Seriously.
