Apparently there's an Extreme Gear in the trailer? I would've checked it myself if it wasn't posted at 2 in the bloody morning.
You see it hung on a wall draped. People speculate it'll be like Mario Kart Wii onward where you can choose kart or bikes, although I don't know how you'd balance that without removing their uniqueness or the kart transforming mechanic, which seems to return based on some other promotional material. One thing about the trailer I haven't seen anyone mention is that you can see someone's reflection (mostly their eye) after the title reveal. Looks like a green guy to me but I don't think it's Jet, most likely some new throwaway villain.
As for the roster, this:
Probably the racing game counterpart of Sonic Speed Battle - conceptually, at least. Like throwing in Sonic Prime, Boom, IDW characters etc since 'multiverses' is the current 'thing' in multimedia franchises now.
is the most likely outcome but I'd much rather have more of the SEGA crossover characters the All-Stars games had. Not only because I couldn't care less about the modern "extended universe" but also because I know for a fact all they're going to do is clog the roster with 5 Sonics and 3 Shadows while adding one or two IDW characters as DLC or whatever.

Short description of the new racing game popped up on an Asian microsite.

New special moves are going to be added as well, being Extended versions of Shadow's moves, Perfect Boost, Perfect Jump, Chain Attack (like the Lost World Homing Attack I guess), and Quick Grind.

I want to play that dream team game really bad but the fact it's locked to apple products fuckin' sucks. I only even know it exists because my uncle has an apple tv and I went to his house to help him do an engine swap on a car and when I went inside to grab a beer my 10 year old cousin was playing it on the couch and I asked him what sonic game it was. I thought it was like some fan game or something but he's pretty young and I don't think he gives enough of a shit about sonic to search things like that out. it looks fun as hell, but by the time I was done working on the car I was way too drunk to bother even trying it, and my family is a bunch of insane vietnamese people and I didn't feel the urge to spend the night there so I could wake up and play a kid's game for a few hours.
 
If you want to play Sonic Riders in the modern day, play the DX mod. It's gotten to the point where new stages are being added.

Gioeli began working with Sega composer Jun Senoue in the ’90s, first on Sonic Adventure’s “Open Your Heart” and eventually on the title track for Sonic Adventure 2, “Live and Learn.” Together, they wrote and performed first under the name Sons of Angels, then Crush 40. Gioeli says in the lawsuit he was paid $3,000 by Sega in 2001 to write the lyrics for the then-untitled song that would eventually become “Live and Learn.” But the scope of the work changed, his lawyers write in the lawsuit. Senoue and Gioeli worked together remotely; Senoue would send demos to Gioeli, who would rework them into a revised song, of which he owns the master recording. Gioeli’s lawsuit filing says he “controlled and oversaw the recording process, produced the recording, directed the arrangement and of the song, directed the recording progress for other musicians, and recorded and performed the vocals.” It states that his only correspondence with Sega during this process was through Senoue. Gioeli says the master recording is credited to Crush 40, but not Sega. He has reportedly “maintained and registered” the song for decades with music licensing agency BMI, which is listed as co-written by himself and Senoue. He also holds the copyright, according to the lawsuit, where he is listed of having authorship, rights, and permissions over the music and lyrics. (The song was registered by the U.S. Copyright Office in 2024, per records.) Gioeli says he was only aware that the song would be used in Sonic Adventure 2 — not elsewhere. He learned in 2024 through a fan, his lawyers write, that “Live and Learn” is used in lots of other places.
Gioeli has worked with Sega for more than 20 years, most recently with “Green Light Ride” for Team Sonic Racing. Crush 40 also performed in the Sonic the Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Symphony in 2021. But the process for the rest of Gioeli’s work with Sega resulted in more specific agreements that included rights for the master recordings and compositions — something that he says isn’t the case with “Live and Learn.” That’s why Gioeli is asking the court to determine who the owner of the masters is, and then to compensate him for the lost fees he would have gotten for licensing the songs out to Sega. Gioeli’s lawyer says that a Sega lawyer told him it doesn’t have rights to the song during correspondence regarding a Sega symphony series. In 2024, a different lawyer allegedly told Gioeli that it’s a “joint work,” and that Gioeli is entitled to “50% of Sega’s profits from the joint work,” but has “refused to account” that Gioeli is the owner, or a joint owner, of the copyrights regarding the master recording and composition. Gioeli’s lawyer says damages for the breach of contract could be more than $500,000. Restitution for the unpaid royalties is listed at another $500,000 or more. “I have no comment other than my desire to maintain the preservation of a long standing beautiful relationship with Sega,” Gioeli told Polygon. “I do not want fans to draw conclusions or be disrupted from the beautiful memories we have made collectively with this music. I believe and hope we will come to a peaceful settlement that will be fair and just.”
this doesn't affect the 3rd movie, as he did sign a licensing deal with Paramount
 
This'd also apply to Super Smash Bros too, no? Though perhaps he's wise not to push his luck and go for Nintendo lest he accidentally kill himself in a tragic accident that benefits Nintendo's legal team.
 
Can't reply to your post directly @Vyse Inglebard but this reeks of BS all over the place from Gioeli's part. Live and Learn is one of the most popular songs from this IP and for him to not be aware of it being used in other media? :story:

I hope some potential milk comes out of this.

...I liked Open Your Heart way more anyway.
 
Ohhh. You shouldn't have. No really, you shouldn't have.
>the year is 2033
>SEGA decides to re-release SA and SA2, either as remakes or new ports for current gen consoles
>half the soundtrack will be replaced with bad music because multiple music licenses falling through that SEGA won't negotiate

I like to think he knows nothing of Sonic and has never played any games to this day.

Imagine when the composer of Green Hill goes Ken Penders on SEGA.
 
It took him 23 years to figure this out? I think he should lose the lawsuit just on the basis of being retarded.

he already has actually, the guy who made the soundtracks of the first two sonic games actually owns the IP of them and just lends it to sega. one of the reasons they went for Jackson for S3K
 
Wait. The films aren’t awful? The last I heard of them was when people were having a mental breakdown that the cgi sonic’s face was fucked up in the trailer and they hastily went back and fixed it. Might need to check them out for some dumb fun.

They're OK family films at worst, with 2 starting to ramp up the lore and introducing Tails and Knuckles. I'm sure you know what 3's about at this point.
