Sega Teases New Ocean View Map And Music Track For Team Sonic Racing

Sounds like an adaptation of the Ocean View track from Sonic Transformed, just with the Sonic R mash-up removed (and removing Sonic R music from anything is never a good thing!)

Life's a beach and then you dive.

They have completely ruined what was a brilliant music track from Transformed. This game looks worse every time we see it.

Shame the race track will be worse in this game, the transforming aspect and the nature of changing the track as the race go on were very cool concepts. At least Transformed will always be playable on a current gen system thanks to Microsoft's backwards compatibility setup.

Ah yes. A new race course.

That from the image and name is a returning retro course.

New.

Huh.

I really really want this game. What more can I say.

SEGA SHOULD use Initial D Eurobeat style songs for Racing games.

60fps or forget it

I thought that a sequel to Transformed would have kept the same formula (more or less), as it was something that made the game pretty unique and fun. From what I've seen (and heard) so far, this new game feels a bit uninspiring, and somewhat back to a more "standard" kart racing game. Bummer.

@Anti-Matter Initial D taught me that Eurobeat is the only music you listen to when you drive up or down a mountain.

The more Sega seems to be hiding gameplay, the more i wonderr i should just buy Crash Team Racing instead.

I just can't take my eyes off that poor whale. What are they doing to it? Seems like it is strung up with a high powered cord between the guitar and the amp.

On a more serious note: this is to keep our attention during the delay and I'm all for the delay to improve the game, as we all should be. Those wishing it was "Transformed" will never be totally happy, but I want to feel how it plays or at least hear from others. There's still plenty that could go right with this game.

Me? Give me a spiritual successor to Diddy Kong Racing and the adventure mode style of progression. I honestly don't care where it comes from — SEGA, Nintendo, Rare, Sony — as long as it is awesome.

I haven't really cared for any of the music that they've released for this game. Actually a couple tracks were simply annoying. Oh well.. we'll see how the gameplay is.

@aaronsullivan Same as you, a spiritual successor to Diddy Kong Racing would be great. I mean there is Crash Team Racing coming out soon but for me it's not the same even though it's a good game.

Good soundtrack: check.
Fun looking tracks: check.
Fun gameplay: we will see.
Good amount of characters: decent, I wanted Sticks to be playable...
Price: I hope not above 40.
