I had so much fun playing 4 player split-screen on the first one. Can't wait.

Rampaged Death4346d ago

People use the word 'major' way too much now. I used to remember when major meant something in the game industry.

Tonester9254346d ago

What can be so major about this?

Rampaged Death4346d ago (Edited 4346d ago )

It includes Shenmue 1+2. That would be the only thing.

AgreeFairy4346d ago

I'd rather wait for Shenmue 1+2 to be downloadable instead. I wouldn't buy this game even for Shenmue (much like how I passed on the first one despite it having Ryo Hazuki as a character).

Tonester9254346d ago

I loved those when I had my GameCast!

bit-crusherrrr4346d ago

Maybe that it'll have an original idea in the game and not just rip off mario kart 7.

Even better tho exclusive to some new sega hardware, that'd be nice.

Psychonaughty4346d ago

I'm looking forward to whatever the announcement is as the first game was surprisingly good despite what all the haters above me say.

Yes, yes it is! Damn shame that Sega never made another sequel or even updated this one with new tracks and characters.

"The platform of choice, however, is the Xbox Series X."

Yessir, the game runs extremely smooth because of the frame rate boost. Still, till this day I play Sonic ASR with friends.

Transformed is my favorite of the series. Even Team racing (the next iteration) is pretty good too but I liked transformed better.

gangsta_red818d ago

I tried team racing and it just didn't click with me as much as Transformed did.

I seriously just wish Sega would do another sequel to that game instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.

It was the best alternative to Mario Kart on Xbox/PS

Yi-Long869d ago

Good list. Personally I’d probably trade the Sonic CD game in this list for Sonic the Hedgehog (1), simply because CD is quite easy so you’ll blast through it, and the original Sonic was basically a new benchmark when it was released which blew everything and everyone at the time away. It also features my favorite zone, Starlight Zone.

I really hope one day we’ll be blessed with a Sonic Mania 2.

RetroCaptainSteve869d ago

Yeah, the first game will always be a classic, but I believe Sonic 2 and 3 moved the chains for the series quite a bit. Sonic CD definitely innovated as well, particularly with its amazing soundtracks and 3D bonus stage. :D

R was one of my first PC games along with Worms 2 and some others like Virtual Springfield. R was kind of good in a strange way i guess, i didn't hate it at the time.

Sonic CD was decent but I'd say i liked the music more, at least for the JP/EU version, some of the levels felt a bit all over the place and most of the bosses were odd and a bit too easy. Even though the system was a flop too it did have some very good games like Final Fight also which had some great music.

Rebel_Scum867d ago

The 8-bit Sonic’s always get left off these ranked lists.

badboyz09866d ago (Edited 866d ago )

RetroCaptainSteve866d ago

Good picks! But...SA 2 kinda fell backward on those digging segments. Great rap song tho!
