If there’s one thing that Sonic’s known for, it is his insane speed. However, it was decided that the character should drive a car in Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing. When it comes down to it, it does make sense that the blue hedgehog would be much too fast for the competition. Although, that’s just one of the reasons why Sonic drives a car in SEGA’s new racing title. Will Tarratt, Sumo Digital Senior Designer, provided a full explanation in a recent interview.

“The quick answer is that we did try it to start with. We knew that people would want to see that…However, he’s really quite different to all of the other vehicles and we wanted a bit of continuity…And it’s quite strange to control something quite small running around a track with cars. And then you get the problem of what happens when they hit each other. He can’t be run over by a monster truck. So what it came down is that it was more fun, it was a racing game, fundamentally everyone is in vehicles, stick Sonic in a car and it’s as much fun for the player so they don’t get confused or disoriented when they’re driving. And also, it wouldn’t be fair, the guy was way too fast when he was on his own…We’ve gone through a number of iterations…He should please with his speed in the speedster.”

“No, it will not [release on Wii]. The hardware of the Nintendo is less than that of the other next-gen game consoles and the gameplay is very different.” – Katsuhiro Harada, producer of Tekken 6

Mr. Harada’s statement about the Wii hardware is true, but I don’t see any reason why the gameplay wouldn’t work on Wii. On the other hand, we have seen some disappointing results when developers have attempted to port over a 360/PS3 title for Nintendo’s console. What do you guys think?

– “deep discussions with Nintendo” for trying to skip friend codes. They want to seamlessly include circuit sharing because D/L is almost instant, and anyone should try other’s creations, so they don’t want any barriers. They’ll probably use SD storage as well.
– they want as many online players as possible. Starting with 8, but aiming at 16, more or less.
– 200 tracks included are made with in-game Wii editor, exactly like PC one.
– All Mario Kart control configs + NES-like, using D pad.
– gamescom build is from last Friday (14th). It’s smooth and fast, and already has loads of tracks. Q1 2010 is still the date and keeping 60 fps, the goal.
– snow, coast, rally, stadium, iron and island environments will be there.
– not on PS360 because not being realistic simulator could be underrated. Also because of Wii audience, controls and input for editor
– single / track editor / multiplayer menu and the shop. Race, platform and puzzle are back for single player, aside from “my tracks”.
