Joystiq:
On Thursday, the UK PS3 version of Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing received a new downloadable racer and a new stage: Metal Sonic and the Egg Hangar, respectively. Then, in what seems like an inadvertent April Fools prank, it disappeared, having evidently been released early as a mistake. The Sega blog post announcing the actual DLC release for this week (Shenmue's Ryo Hazuki in his forklift) makes a point of noting that "This is the only DLC item out today."
This week's Achievement HUNT, brings you Ryan vs. Ray.
Over a year ago SART developer Sumo Digital held a poll of which Sega character fans wanted them to add as a racer. Today marks the launch of a new paid DLC character... but he was definitely not on that poll.
What a douche move
You know what to do though, when they announce the sequel...don't buy it
It's funny that Transformed in itself is already a sequel and one of the DLC characters from the poll is Ryo from Shenmue... who was already playable in the first game. All they would have had to do is add in a transformation move for him.
Lazyness at it's finest
Games are supposed to add onto the last game, not remove things.
Nintendo do this with Mario Kart, they remove characters and you never see them again.
PASS ME IF YOU DARE, I HAVE A SWARM OF BEES AND I’M NOT AFRAID TO USE IT!
Sonic reprises his role in this racing game as the super-fast blue hedgehog, however this time you need to prove how fast your vehicle is instead of how fast your feet are. The concept of the game is kept very simple and by doing this makes it fun and easy for the kids to play too. There is a character selection of 20 different characters from Sega’s long running line of superstars including some rather long time forgotten or little know characters. The character roster of course comprises 7 of the most well know characters from the Sega franchise including obviously Sonic, Tails and The villainous Dr. Egghead as well as a few others that I feel could have been left out to include some other know names from different Sega franchises.
