Came here to post pretty much the same screen cap.

It was technically very impressive. Shame it was wasted on a racing game; it could've been a better "traditional" sonic game than Adventure was.

>>4125497
It is okay, last week there were more than 10 concurrent Castlevania threads. Sometimes up to 3 Doom general threads.

Looks really good. It's pure crap.

Graphically it's very impressive for a Saturn title. Controls like shit and it's way too short, especially being released after Mario Kart 64

>>4125754
the controls are not shit. you need to use the shoulder buttons

>>4125424
it should be better
there's nothing technically wrong other than the controls being slippery as fuck for a "platform" game
would have been nice if Traveler's Tales worked on an actual Sonic game for the machine, because Sonic R is pretty good looking

>>4125768
even with the shoulder buttons and acceleration feathering, you're a slippery piece of shit in Sonic R
someone keeps repeating this shit like it matters -- the game's nearly unplayable without the shoulder buttons, I dunno how the hell you'd manage without them

>>4125424
A ridiculously good tech demo for Saturn. Travellers Tales were fucking wizards. I enjoy the game quite a bit; the courses are very well designed with the branching paths, and unlocking everything is decently challenging. The characters are wildly unbalanced and there's a severe lack of content, but what's there is good.

It also has the best Sonic soundtrack ever and I will fight you if you try to tell me otherwise.

Travellers Tales were great and should have been making Sonic X-Treme instead of this shit and the Sonic 3D port, they clearly knew how to get the best out of the hardware. Both games even existing was a fallout from the cancellation, Sonic R was a traditional kart racing game with cars until very late in development when they slapped on the Sonic license.

Sonic R is in almost every way a pretty shitty game. But despite it's problems it's pretty fun in a dumb sort of way. Genuinely fun.

Soundtrack is great.

>>4125424
It's probably Traveller's Tales' best game.

>the game's nearly unplayable without the shoulder buttons

Jump. If you get your jumping right you can skip places, as cut corners or kinda bounce on them.

>a 3D sonic game in this engine with multiple playable characters and levels designed as race tracks

I would have bought it. Especially if the boss battles were good.

>>4127223

Toy Story 2 has it beat, a good platformer and it too has great music.

>>4125554
Castlevania spam is definitely a problem.

Sonic R is my favourite racing game.

best track in the game

Nix the multiple characters (that's the beginning of cancer), except for bonus unlockables. And keep the levels traditional, not repeating race tracks. The engine is clearly up to it. Hell with no other racing characters, they might even manage to bump up the draw distance, which in turn could allow for faster speed.

If they make the levels linear instead of loop-around curves, they can make them 2-3x as long as a single lap in Sonic R, and then do transitions to another map somewhere in the middle (ie. you fall off a waterfall, load next scene while falling, or you enter a cave - fadeout, load next map).

They'd need a shitload more than just 5 maps though. More like 100. But, Adventure had that much bigger total area to cover too, just a year later (while they also released Burning Rangers next to it), so it could have been done.

Anybody have any scans of the advertisements related to this game? I have a distinct memory of an ad, probably in EGM, that was talking about how your have to pick all the bugs out of your teeth after playing this blazin' fast racing game

Finally played this game when I bought my first saturn this year. Actually held off on playing it until I had a chance to bring over my buddy's son to play it with me. He's a ten year old with full blown autism that loves everything sonic. Lol we both decided it sucked complete ass before we'd even completed the first race. And this kid could even tolerate that 3rd person 3D sonic game that's in the doom engine.

Oh god, I remember playing that. I had tons of fun with it. Knuckles w

What emulator do i need for this?

>>4130420
There's a PC port

>>4125424
seems interesting a cool idea of a 3d sonic adventure style racing games

I like it

>>4129989
There's nothing wrong with multiple characters done in the way Sonic 3&K or Sonic Advance does 'em. Each character would still play like a Sonic game, but would have their own additional bits.
In fact, this is the only actual issue with multiple characters in say, Adventure 1 and SA2, they don't really play like Sonic, they're some other half-assed thing entirely.

>>4127223
Man, TT's consistently had much more technical ability than game design ability.

>>4126247
>Sonic R was a traditional kart racing game with cars until very late in development when they slapped on the Sonic license.
that's actually pretty surprising considering that it handles actual platforming to a decent extent

>>4126247

Ha. Ha. Ha.

You've obviously never played the game. Look at Amy and her 'car'. With all of the platforming and all of that and how hard playing her makes the game, it's obviously never been a traditional kart racing game.

>>4130438
or the gc port
and don't talk shit about s racing

I love the sonic R soundtrack, very europop

Way better than any Mario Kart

CAN YOU SEE
THE SUN IS SHINING ON ME

>>4125424
This game goes from crap to gold if you have at least two other people to play with you. Especially if you all pick Eggman.

>>4132234
IT MAKES ME FEEL SO FREE
SO ALIVE

I love that game, I did a 100% walkthrough stream for it, took like 20 minutes. It was fun though!

Whose your racer? Knuckles is my runner of choice.
