yeah, im betting on the WU version here too, but unless i can snag it for around $30, ill prolly rent first anyway - i try to be cautious with launch games, especially ports.
This game looks hot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT1TUyxBxk0
Anyone with a better video to share?

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I don't believe is is true.

If SOL is not in that thread, this is the only place to ask, especially as the forum post Sumo was responding to was saying that the frame rate was due to the slow Wii U CPU.
Ralph and Danica are cross platform, not exclusives. That'd be mental
We've got a new trailer coming soon, as we get closer to release expect more noise from SEGA. We're too busy finishing the game though right now to do much in the way of shouting.
Obligatory 'SEGA SATURN SHIRO' here too

Oh and I'm not even remotely allowed to talk about WiiU specifications. It has a CPU and GPU is about as far as I can go!
However, I really don't get the obsession there. Clearly it's better in a number of ways than the current systems (not least in memory!) - but really, it's the games that make a system successful or not, not the specifications. Else no-one would have bought the DS

Thanks man.
Better yet, Sega Tennis. (although I think that was announced for Mac)
S0L I have a PS3, 360 and have a Wii U on pre-order... are you allowed to say which version of the game I should be pre-ordering?
He would like you to buy all three.

Framerate was the only thing lacking to make this the ultimate version:
Whoa whoa whoa. 5 player multiplayer? I didn't care about the Wii U until now. 5 FUCKING PLAYERS SWEET JESUS!

Wii U if you want 5 player split screen, PC if you are one of the so called master race gamers or ps3/360 if you don't mind about the split screen, i'll personally go for the Wii U

While you're not allowed to talk specs, do you have any knowledge on why other verified developers like Tecmo Koei/Namco Bandai Games/Gearbox Software etc are allowed to openly talk the specs? I find it very polarizing on what's allowed to be said assuming everyone is under the same NDA.Oh and I'm not even remotely allowed to talk about WiiU specifications.

Awesome, guess I will pick it up launch day for sure then!

Thanks for the clarification, S0L. Looking forward to the new trailer, more character reveals, and the game of course.
Also, playable Ristar along with Segata would make me buy 10 copies. Just saying.

I'm betting it won't. The first SAR game shat all over every kart racer before it, and Mario Kart 7 didn't even come close.
It's almost not even a fair comparison. SAR has Sumo Digital at the helm, so it's actually a great arcade style racer underneath the crazy tracks and powerups.

The 'oh it's shit' comments come from the old code demo, the 'oh its fine' comments come from people working on the game with updated code, it's not that difficult to understand.

The first sasar was good Ive played it way more than mario kart this gen and it was better than mkwii. It didnt top all of the mario kart games though. Diddy kong racing still sit up top by itself though. I expect the next mk on Wii U to be a killer though.
S0L said:
Great news.
*Hoping* that target framerate is 60fps not 30fps, and the Wii-U version hits that when playing single player or online.
Having the option to play this game without a TV screen and instead using the GamePad when I want to, taking it around different areas of my house makes me want the Wii-U version instead of the PC one. Framerate was and is my only concern.

Given what we know about some of the sonic fanbase, the idea of racing as "Mii's" upsets me more so than avatars ruining Fire Pro
I really liked the first one, but better than Mario Kart DS? Nope. Mostly because they feel different, though, it definitely doesn't feel as "crazy kart racing"-ish as Mario Kart games, and this one looks even more like that. It's good that we get different experiences and not clones. I agree that Diddy Kong Racing compares more to Mario Kart.

I really hope that we can get some 3DS or Vita footage soon though, especially since the game comes out in 2 months.Right now we're in full on finaling mode, once it's into submission we intend to look at some demos, be they show floor or end user, but really it's a SEGA question for when they'll show it. Can't really answer that one. Let us finish the game first
On the handheld platforms, we've not shown anything for a couple of reasons. Mainly it's been a question of making sure the framerate is sorted so any visuals we show are indicitive of the final game. We don't want to show anything misleading, as if we have to pull back on detail or textures, you'd then (rightly) complain that early shots don't match the final product.
Oh and whilst I can't go into detail on the PC version, yes, all the complaints from last time were very much heard. There will be online play, proper controller configuration, plus you'll not miss out on leaderboards etc - and that's all I can really say for now!

I pre-ordered the 3DS version because you guys did fantastic work on both the Wii (the game is graphical marvel for me to this day) and the DS even with its limited ability. I really don't want to be disappointed......
(Also, from the data I have S&S All-Stars sold A LOT more on Wii and DS than it did 360/PS3, so I have faith that you'd treat these platforms' successors right.)
Sumor Digital talks more about the Wii U version.

First thing here is the demo shown at the Nintendo WiiU launch event certainly wasn't final code and should have been labelled as such. So many things about it, elements like performance, controls, balancing and the GamePad screen features should not in any way be taken as final.
In fact, if you came to the office today, the code you'd see here which has numurous improvements in every single one of those areas isn't final either. That's the point here, it's not finished
One of the interesting elements about being a launch title is that you have dates that don't move. As such, we have to make calls about how we use our time wisely. Doing a show floor demo can easily take two to three weeks, but that same amount of work is way more valuable to us to get the final game done. Especially since a show floor demo is invariably chucked away and never used again. Of course we also were told the demo would be behind closed doors... So we never really expected the level of scrutiny it got!
Anyway, it's all academic. Right now we're pretty much in target frame rate bar some spikes with effects on certain tracks, and in some cases in 5 player splitscreen. We'll continue to hit those (and we have time to do so) not only on WiiU, but on all the other myriad of platforms we're on.
We really care about this game, it represents over 2 and half years work for pretty much the entire team and right now every working hour is spent working on that final polish, getting the frame rate into the right place - and delivering what I very much feel, is our best SEGA project to date.
Right, best go squash some more bugs!
uh why'd you post a link to a quote from this thread like its news or something...

If GAF's the source then why post it again? In the thread where it was posted?
