Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed roster won’t be the same on every platform

Not all versions of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed will feature the same characters.
New comments from Sumo Digital’s Steve Lycett indicate that there will be 29 characters in total across all of the games. But some versions will offer a roster in the “high 20s” while others will be in the “low 20s”.
Lycett said:
“The thing is, different people think of different things when you say ‘How many characters are in the game’.
“Are we talking about playable choices, drivers, vehicle forms, which platform are we talking about, what?
“Me, I go with actual playable choices on the character select. Over all the different platforms, this totals up to 29 actual playable choices. But that doesn’t mean that there are 29 playable choices in all platforms (in fact no single platform has all 29). Some drop down to the low 20?s, some instead have high 20?s.
“Why is this? Well some platforms have characters that are unique to that platform. I’m not going to say which, that’s part of the fun of the reveals! Some are SEGA characters, some are not. Don’t bother asking :p”
Dishonored dev talks vaguely about Wii U, says interface is important

Dishonored co-creative director Harvey Smith was recently asked about Wii U. Unfortunately, Smith didn’t have much to say about the console.
He did speak a little about the importance of interface though. Smith feels that the Wii’s interface “reminds me that I’m struggling”, but hopes Nintendo will “have a better fix this time around”.
Smith showed some openness to working with new devices since they provide “a very fertile ground for exploring new ideas.” He additionally stated:
“Nintendo deserves accolades for that. I just don’t know how far the new console goes. I didn’t perceive what people’s excitement of the device was. I don’t know why, but it didn’t show up on my filter somehow.”
All of Smith’s comments are posted below.
Crysis 3 “a possibility” for Wii U, Crytek working with Nintendo, dual screen talk
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
When we last heard about the possibility of Crysis 3 on Wii U, Crytek’s director of creative development Rasmus Hoejengaard basically said it wouldn’t happen. And more recently, founder and CEO Cevat Yerli indicated the studio has no plans for the platform.
Now Crytek is changing its tune a bit.
When Rasmus’ comments were brought up in an interview with Crytek games producer Mike Read, he noted that Crysis 3 “is a possibility” for Wii U, adding that the studio is “working with Nintendo”.
