Are you kidding me? ANOTHER PC dlc update? WHERE'S THE CONSOLE SUPPORT? As far as i know, consoles are getting ONE dlc character, and we dont even know who it is yet. Meanwhile the PC version has gotten 5 new racers. That is ridiculous.

Smashbro293915d ago

It probably costs them the same amount to post DLC and patches as it does to develop the actual DLC. After seeing how much trouble Sony and Microsoft game the Skullgirls team and how much it costed them just to post it I'm not surprised at all.

Bladesfist3915d ago

Everyone knows that the console digital distribution pipeline is slow and flawed.

legionsoup3914d ago

Agreed - but do PC sale for this game really beat out the console sales? Would seem odd to me if it did.

Bladesfist3914d ago

It might simply be an ease of use thing, no idea.

@legionsoup

YES. Total War series is amazing. I keep forgetting Sega owns the IP.

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.

darthv72819d ago

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

gangsta_red819d 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

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.

RetroCaptainSteve870d 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_Scum868d ago

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

badboyz09868d ago (Edited 868d ago )

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