"Mom, can we have Mario Kart on PC?"

Yeah, obviously. The main benefit of having a natively supported kart racer on PC would be an active online multiplayer scene though.

(Yes, you can play emulated MK8 online with emulated wireless local multiplayer but that has a very limited player base and is prone to crashing and other jank)

Yeeah, it has Migu so I'm excited

I have always been of the opinion that Sonic and All Star Racing Transformed was the far better Kart racer compared to MK8. (Though the name is admittedly a mouthful)

I haven't put much time into playing Team Sonic racing, so I can't evaluate how it stacks up. I just vaguely know that the community reception felt that it leaned too hard into into the team racing gimmick and the game suffered for it.

If Cross Worlds gives me more of the game feel and mechanics that SaASRT nailed with a modern coat of paint and polish, then I'm 100% here for it.

Call me when it’s Sonic Reading Crosswords

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I misread it as that and assumed it was a sonic themed 90s style edutainment game

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I only half misread it and was confused about wtf a Racing Crossword was

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Same. I figured it was something like the faster and more accurately you type out answers to the crossword, the faster your car goes.

You are required to badmouth all corporations at all times.

Why does sonic need a car he run fast

Why does Usain Bolt need a car he run fast

[–] dragongloss@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Usain Bolt not sonic, he is too slow

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

You don't know that, have you seen them in the same room? thonk

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

I felt excited about that Chocobo Racing sequel a few years back, and that ended up being a micro transaction mess. This looks neat, but I'm afraid it'd end up the same

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

I hate the way Sega operates. I mean half of it is straight up gambling. BUT you cannot deny they have built up a lot of very recognizable and beloved characters over the years and they have that part covered. Game will definitely be popular if it's good.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Minecraft? That's BDS

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

I was badmouthing the Sonic guy at the start and then ate my words when Miku, Yakuza, and Joker made an appearance.

is it against the rules to bad mouth mario games too?

Crosscode is adding a sonic racing minigame? Sweet.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If this is a crossover game and not just a sonic game, are we allowed to badmouth it? Or are we only able to badmouth the crossover parts, but not the sonic parts?

[–] BanSwitch2Buyers@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

I guess they're going back to crossover stuff after Team Sonic Racing was only Sonic characters, I think. Which was nice.

Not looking forward to it because I know for sure it's not going to reach the bare minimum of CTR's greatness in the genre. Like imho the only game that has managed to surpass CTR in kart racers just happens to be CTR:NF.
