Thread 719874387

What went wrong? You know shit's bad when people dab with Sonic's new racing game on you.

No Mii Drivers.

>>719874387 (OP)
They spread the butter too thin and ended up appealing to no one

The tracks are too fucking wide and intermissions eating a lap of the next course is retarded.

They blindly chased the open world fad without thinking how it would be a detriment to the game. Sonic is actually doing interesting shit like gadgets which radically alter the playstyle beyond subtle stat changes, temporarily tacking you to a whole other course on lap 2, team based co-op events, rivalries in single player... and probably more we haven't seen

>Intermissions on fucking GP mode
>25 players
>front running sucks and only bagging matters
>sonic has the same item spam shit, but it has less players and gives people the illusion that they can counter item spam with gadgets
>boring as fuck overworld with nothing to do
>characters unlocked by a fucking rng item with a rng transformation instead of adding red p-switches in the open world

It's Mario Kart Intermission/Bagging. Wallriding and grinding is fucking cool and some tracks are nice, but fuck everything else.

nintendo tried to do their own thing but with kart racers you really need to deliver on quality gameplay first and foremost, not that the gameplay in mario kart is bad, but there are a lot of baffling design decisions that lead to an overall inferior experience to sonic racing where they put all their attention on making the gameplay feel varied and fun, keeping you in online matches, letting you customize vehicles, etc, no wasted dev time on features nobody asked for

The Sonic racer would be better without the crossword gimmick that blends all the tracks together. A lot of the tracks are great and deserve to be their own thing. Especially the casino track.

You can turn off the crossworld mechanics apparently

Why is peach making eyes at the goomba?

He is allowed to watch when Bowser fucks her

>What went wrong?
is the answer to this not blatantly obvious

>>719874885
The part about keeping you in the online matches is understated. In MKW you often find non-full lobbies and it takes you back to free roam with same said lobby. But sonic is always throwing you into full lobbies with people equal to your power level. People had 20 hours logged into the playtest because it was quick to get into races
>>719875296
well would you look at that, actual options. Meanwhile at nintendo you have to play their way of fuck off

>>719875726
My peenus weenus of course haha

>>719874387 (OP)
I remember enjoying the sonic racing game on the wii more than the mario kart one

>>719874387 (OP)
what went wrong? hm that's a tough one. I'd have to say it was your mother not swallowing.

8 Deluxe was such a slam dunk they tried to one up it with the open world, which was a fundamentally terrible idea from the start

Knockout tour is a neat novelty but they shoved it into EVERYTHING and yet there are still barely an actual elimination races.
They tried way too hard to double dip.
Let circuit tracks exist in isolation.
Make more knockout elimination races so they can make the intermission areas have purpose. Keep the two segregated so everyone can be happy with their choice.

>>719876123
I actually like the knockout tours is just with only 8 routes it gets old fast

>open world was ultimately the reason they didn't make a new mario kart game for the switch 1
>open world was the one feature loads of people ended up not liking
We could have gotten a switch 1 mario kart game that featured the new movement mechanics without the intermission drama and we could have gotten it YEARS AGO.

>>719878762
And now Sonic will fucking rape Mario Kart World while the MK community are smug retards who love daddy Nintendo and their shit ideas.

>>719874387 (OP)
It's almost as good as CTR. If only it had mode for regular races.

>>719874387 (OP)
>intermission
>2-3 laps
>actual track
>1 lap
lol
lmao

>>719879009
>Sonic will fucking rape Mario Kart World
look at this retard, didn't you say the same for the past failed sonic games?

>>719878762
The open world is fine but the issue is that it bleeds into every game mode.
Just let my run laps please.

>>719879184
>almost as good as CTR
You fucking wish.
Come back when Mario Kart has a mini turbo system that isnt gutted.

>>719874387 (OP)
I want a game where I am racing around a track, not slowly driving down an American highway. They tried to make Forza Horizons but forgot to make it good

>>719874387 (OP)
Literally they fell with the open world meme.

>>719879432
Open world racing games can work when they incentivize exploration

>>719876123
>elimination races
I remember really liking this game as a kid, there was a race type where every lap the guy on last would be destroyed until 1 remains

>>719879243
Nta. People really liked the SRC demo though. Even if the game sells less than MKW, it can reasonably be assumed that Sonic will be beater than World

>>719874387 (OP)
They should make open world like og nfs most wanted more than forza horizon 5

>>719874387 (OP)
And yet I haven't seen a single bit of footage from Sonic that feels FAST. I swear to god, there isn't a single kart racer out there aside from Mario Kart that can actually give an adequate sense of speed.

>>719881927
Elimination is a great race type when the game has good speed tech. Its like the pressure of a competitive time trial played in real time with no resets.

>>719882183
CTR?

>>719882183
>Mario Kart feels fast
Do you get motion sickness from a brisk walking pace?
Mario Kart hasn't felt genuinely fast in almost 20 years.

>>719882183
>aside from Mario Kart
What the fuck are you talking about? 8 even in its highest CC setting looks fucking slow

>>719874387 (OP)
Driving in a straight line isn't fun.

>>719874387 (OP)
My tin foil hat theory is that this game was never meant to be successful on launch. After mk8, Nintendo realised that they can make incremental changes to a Mario kart game and milk it for money for a decade or even more. Mk world is, conveniently, a big, empty wasteland just begging for extra dlc tracks and what not. This game will look completely different in 5 years. LOLing at anyone who spent 80 shekels on the early access beta.

well its boring, luck based and item spam the game.
