Oh well, there goes another slot to HotD Zombie.

[DiGi Valentine]

Lovely. Yet again, where the hell is NiGHTS? ....do you see what i'm saying now?

[JaxTH]

Those House of the Dead EX characters never made there way outside of Japan.

They are a nice addition...But yeah...Where is NiGHTS? Christmas Please (Since SEGA only did this cause it's Halloween time)?

[KENOSiS]

if they release NiGHTS around Christmas though, I hope it's christmas NiGHTS 8D

[Purge]

Also, I saw no Ulala in the trailer released.

[Noctourne Wonderland]

Mighty always makes me think of mullets and jam jars .... never sure why.

He makes me think of Vegemite. Oh Mighty, you're so easily related to food.

It's a zombie. In a car. Wow.

(Didn't I suggest that as a joke a while back?)

[JaxTH]

These are the zombies from House of the Dead EX in case no one got a good look. They are from an Arcade Mini-Game fest thingy. It's aimed at the younger crowd.

[Jof]

Wow, that's really quite awesome that they put those characters in, they could have just shoved any old enemy from HotD in there (hell, Overkill wasn't that long ago). Really obscure stuff for an English based company to throw in there. Wonder if that was SEGA's idea or Sumo's.

EDIT: Apparently someone *mole* over at 4chan 'leaked' this. If you don't want to possibly know who is in this, do not look ahead.

EDIT2 : Actually this is pretty much very likely almost definately fake, but hey, we can have fun imagining if it were real. Theres no mention of the zombies here, and a few other &^$£-ups.

Some of it is really hard to believe, like

Spoiler

Space Micheal

but not without the realms of possibility. Hell, DiGi will marry Sumo for that.
If that list is true (and it the downloadable characters thing like was mentioned before turns out to be this awesome. Then holy f*** Sumo, best game ever!

Spoiler

STICK CANYON?? f*** YEAH!

[JaxTH]

It's automatically fake since Sumo said other series (except for Sonic) would only get one representative.

[LUCiD]

So... no Reala then?

[DiGi Valentine]

I would love to believe that list Jof, but i can't. It just seems so farfetched. That's well over 20 characters. I don't think Sumo would have the time to make all of those in the time they were given.

And i keep hearing that other than Sonic, for everybody else there's only 1 character from each game series so that this way they can free up space for other potential characters that have not featured in an allstars game yet.

Which part are you refering to as being downloadable, Jof?

[StarsOfCASSiOPEiA]

I would love to believe that list Jof, but i can't. It just seems so farfetched. That's well over 20 characters. I don't think Sumo would have the time to make all of those in the time they were given.

I highly doubt that list too, unfortunately. :/ The time required to get all of those characters into the game would just be incredibly large. And if that thing about 1 character per game (besides the Sonic games) is true, that list is dead. Darn. D:

I'm curious to see (assuming NiGHTS gets in) if there will be a NiGHTS stage. I noticed one up top, but what level would you guys like to see?

[TRiPPY]

Lol so fake. If this list is anything though it might be one of the shortlist lists of characters before they were axed.


...
I seriously had an ASR related nightmare lastnight D: It was genuinely horrible.

[Jof]

Yeah, I know it's definately fake : P But it's something to talk about at least lol. DiGi, the downloadable guys would be Banjo for the 360 version, Captian Falcon for the Wii, but not sure on the PS3 one.

So which NiGHTS stage do you think should be in ? I never really thought about Stick Canyon before.

[TRiPPY]

Hmm well they said that this time around they were doing less retro levels and more modern game levels since SST done the retro thing where Sonic was involved. Though... the SST level was from JoD -not NiD. If it was to be a NiD stage i would love to see Soft Museum (it'd be a bit mad), TwinSeeds has already been done in Superstars (very well i might add), sooo i guess Stick Canyon would be good, i mean you could go all the way up the tower and then go loop de looping on the rail part (... somehow).

Frozen Bell would make a pretty level! It could be like an extended version of the tobogan slide And snoooow.

[NinMicroSega]

How about this list? "???" indicates a not-yet-revealed character:


Race Car (on-road vehicles)
Sonic
AiAi
Beat
Amy
Zobio & Zobiko
??? (one of the Crazy Taxi characters; most likely BD Joe or Axel)

Motorcycle / Scooter (average vehicles)
Alex Kidd
Ryo Hazuki
Big the Cat
Shadow
??? (Vectorman in his motorcycle form)
??? (Ulala on a scooter)

Monster Truck / ATV (offroad vehicles)
Amigo
Dr. Eggman
Knuckles
Billy Hatcher
??? (Gilius Thunderhead on a beast)
??? (Akira Yuki on an ATV)

Plane / Flying (airborne vehicles)
Tails
??? (Opa-Opa)
??? (Orta riding a dragon)
??? (Vyse)
??? (NiGHTS)
??? (Ristar)

[LUCiD]

I hope that list is real, that'd be awesome!

[TRiPPY]

Would Ristar be a flying character though? I've never played the original... granted he's a shooting star with stretchy arms.

[Jof]

Where'd you get that list from? It looks a hell of a lot more likely. But in regards to Nights, would he be flying a plane or just on his own? I mean. It's Nights! He is the essance of flight. But then again, Sonic is in a car..

[TRiPPY]

Personaly i hope he turns into whatever it is he's 'driving' just like in the games. Well... as long as he's not stuck in that form the entire race. I think that would really set him apart from the other characters.

[JaxTH]

Where'd you get that list from? It looks a hell of a lot more likely.

It's his own list and the only one I've seen that looks...I dunno...Professional.

Would Ristar be a flying character though?

Not really...He could be if they give him a star post to wind up on at the start of the race though.

[DiGi Valentine]

Yeah, i saw that suggested list at SEGANerds. I can see why they might think there's some ratio between the certain types of vehicles in the game so that could be something to look out for.

Though that list is also over 20 characters.

[JaxTH]

I thought there was gonna be 24 characters.

[DiGi Valentine]

I heard 20 ...but, hey, who knows anymore? Guess we'll just have to wait and see on that.

[JaxTH]

Also Sumo said (on SEGA) that SEGA is in charged of revealing characters so not even they know who will be revealed next (As the Halloween trailer caught them all by surprise it seems).

[MADAMOiSELLE]

Me would love a Crystal Castle track. Oh yesh! BTW, I hope they have a multiple number of music tracks to choose from like in SST.

[DiGi Valentine]

I'm saying Memory Forest, for the day and night thing. It would be cool to race around the track and have those switches positioned at various points so that when you drive into them will turn that track from day to night. The bluebell flowers will glow in the dark and the lights will come on in the house-trees. It would be pretty damn awesome.

[Noctourne Wonderland]

I like that list. It's professional, logical, and just plain good. Ristar with a pole to swing on at the beginning is brilliant.

I still stand by my suggestion for Twin Seeds with a track lit only by a small glow under your car and balloons to mark the turns. It could be very celebratory, like Rainbow Road in Mario Kart. Even more elaborate would be track that starts out in the Dream gate and goes through a random door each time. You would never know what NiGHTS course you'd get.

[viperxmns]

I'll be very impressed if Ristar ends up playable. Though I figure he'd have a car of some kind, and the Star Handle would be his All Star move, and would act very much like NiGHTS's imagined Drill Dash All Star move.

[7Force]

I'll be very impressed if Ristar ends up playable. Though I figure he'd have a car of some kind, and the Star Handle would be his All Star move, and would act very much like NiGHTS's imagined Drill Dash All Star move.

Thats what i was thinking, the Star Handle would be a perfect all star move for him.

[KENOSiS]

it would also be nice to see Ristar with 3-dimensional graphics. now I want a Ristar Wii remake :/

[DiGi Valentine]

In regards to this AllStars Racing game, can i just say thank you to Jax for bringing up the discussion of NiGHTS in the official ASR topic at the SEGA forums. I'm not signed up there and only pass through on occassions to read what's going on so thank you for bringing awareness to those forums that NiGHTS hasn't been revealed yet and should be cause of concern. It's appreciated, man

[JaxTH]

Awww....

Your welcome man.

[NinMicroSega]

Just give me a virtual cookie already:




Steve's good with his choice of words, but come on. He should have used the typical corporate fodder, but I guess that's what makes Sumo Digital just plain awesome!

[DiGi Valentine]

That's all nice and fine but it doesn't confirm anything at all. "You'll have to wait and see" is what he's been telling everybody since day one. Nothing new here.

I sent an email out to S0L yesterday too ...though i'm guessing his response to me will require more than 3 lines of text so chances of hearing back from him this week are: zero.

[iLLViLLAiN]

Akira Yuki on an atv. I'd laugh my head off for days.

[NinMicroSega]

Well guys, here's some (non-NiGHTS) news for you. It has some very good information; hopefully Steve is just toying with us again:

"I get a lot of requests for Vyse. But what kind of vehicle would he ride?"


I say a flying lifeboat with Skies of Arcadia branding, which would be no larger than Beat's car. Amirite?

[DiGi Valentine]

With all due respect but where is S0L saying all this? In a direct email to you? Because if he is, are you sure you're allowed to be posting what he's saying to you in a private email in public like this?

As for Vyse, yeh it would be nice to see the guy again, i like Skies of Arcadia and he would be a welcomed addition to the cast line up. I'd imagine he'd drive a flying boat, what else could he drive?

As for NiGHTS ...i'm personaly on my last ounce of hope for him now. Everybody keeps saying "oh, NiGHTS is expected, i dont know why you're worrying" but it just aint as easy as that. There is no evidence to prove NiGHTS is in yet there's evidence to prove he isn't. And it's becoming a real battle trying to remain excited for this game knowing my favourite character could honestly not be in it.
