right guys so today I've been invited a
bi and Sager to come to their Sega
offices in this insane car because today
we're playing Sonic racing at their
studios
isn't that right Sonic I know what
you're thinking why didn't you take
Sonic for a proper spin in that car well
legally I wasn't allowed to drive the
car anywhere apart from the parking lot
so instead sonic took me inside to show
me the ropes of his brand-new game team
sonic racing there's no speed limits in
there so much more fun so I did
originally play this game along with the
devs but the audio is a little bit funky
it's hard to hear us so I'm gonna give
you all the points along with the
gameplay for Sonic's brand-new game I
have a massive Sonic fan of a massive
racing game fans so the two combined is
gonna be awesome let's take a look at it
the main difference about team sonic
racing comparing it to its previous
racing title is that you play in teams
now teams of three which can either be
you by yourself with two computer
players or you and up to two of your
friends in one team racing against three
other teams of three so four teams three
races in each and then you work together
during the course of a race to be able
to get points get special abilities get
weapons and more importantly get points
so that you can win as a team so it's no
good just one of you finishing him first
and then the rest of you at 10 and 12
because your points combined so even
though you had someone that come first
those two people at the bottom are gonna
slow you down but if you are good at the
game when you're playing with two people
who are new or aren't as good you can
still help them with various different
techniques to bump them up the school
board so I guess the first thing we
should go over is the character roster
there are so many characters in this
game all your sonic favorites your
obstacles sonic Knuckles tails we've
also got Eggman we've got the child
we've actually got child's in this game
Metal Sonic shadow and tons more each of
them have their very own cars which all
look insane as you can also see each of
the characters are split into three rows
and in the
rose they each have classes which are
power technique and speed and they all
have special abilities for example the
speed ones just generally have faster
top speed and faster acceleration
whereas the technique ones are able to
do things like just drive over grass
which is really handy you can cut all
them corners with the technique class
then you can move on to customisation
there's two different ways to customize
the first one is with different parts so
you can kind of tweak your cards give it
more acceleration less handling or the
opposite with all different parts which
is kind of cool and then my favorite
part you can customize the colors so you
can go for a wacky skiing you can go for
a normal scheme you can go for a cool
scheme you can do whatever you want but
then you can apply them to all three
cars you kind of have your own team
colors there's different paints shiny
ones matte ones normal ones but then
there's also decals so you can add stars
and fire and then you can add horns too
like these ones so as you're looking at
the gameplay we are playing as a team of
three I'm on the top left and then the
two devs are playing on the other
screens and let me just go over a few
different ways you can work together in
this game the first one is that you can
pass each other items so you can past
each other weapons which are also known
as wisps in this game you collect them
and you get stuff like there's one
that's a drill that there's one that
just fires like a missile so for example
if you have a speed boost wisp upfront
and you don't really need it yet you can
pass it back and trade it with one of
your friends that's further down the
pack so they can use the speed boost and
get you more points by gaining positions
it's actually really good but if you're
on the receiving end of a wisp and you
get here and you spin out obviously your
speed goes to zero but if one of your
teammates runs past you through these
golden arches by your car they can do
something let's call a skim boost which
will bring you straight back up to speed
straight away rather than your new
needing to accelerate from zero which is
really really handy a great recovery
method if you're getting hit by all
kinds of whisks now one of my favorite
things cuz I wasn't that good at this
game is that the person who is in first
leaves a golden trail behind them and
I'm pretty sure that's called the
slingshot trail because the two
teammates
I can get in that golden slipstream and
get a speed boost which is really cool
and then if you overtake the person that
was creating the trail you get even more
of a slingshot boost so then you can
kind of chain it and overtake each other
it's the way you can combo these
abilities is crazy so that's one of my
favorites because I was I was down back
in the lower end of the pack so being
able to follow that golden trail from a
good player meant that I could keep up
now why would you want to work as a team
well first off your points are all added
together so as I mentioned before
someone using first will get the maximum
amount of points but people down
eleventh or twelfth will get the lowest
amount of points and then that will add
it together so if another team ended in
the middle of the pack they're gonna
have more overall points than you and
eventually win but there is another
reason why you want to work together
because the more you work together the
more you build up your team ultimate
meter and when that is full oh boy you
get quite the advantage the more skin
boosts you give to other players in your
team and the more wisps you trade and
the more slingshots you do the more you
build up your team ultimate bar and when
you use it you get this golden boost of
energy so you are faster than everyone
else you are invulnerable to wisp some
weapons and you can also bash into other
teams and make them spin out it's so
powerful and the devastating if you're
racking up like two team Ultimates in a
race it's almost impossible to finish
badly because it's just so good the only
way you can build it up is by working as
a team so you have to make sure you're
doing that what other things are in the
game ah rings that's a classic thing in
Sonic so the more rings you collect in
this game at the faster you are but
there's no cap on the ring so you can
get like you can get like 100 rings and
you will have incredibly good speed
boost but as soon as you get a bio whisk
all of those are gone and you have to
start from zero back to your normal max
speed what's also cool about this is
there as a story mode so you can play
through the story mode learn about the
game but then when you've completed that
and you feel like you've got your skills
and your team set and ready you can take
those online so you can have up to four
teams of three playing online against
each other and if you
get these techniques the skin boosts the
slingshots the trading of whisks if you
get all of those down to a tee you're
gonna be able to pull off some crazy
combos big comebacks and put off some
really big a team ultimate moves oh by
the way something I noticed that is it's
pretty prominent in all sonic games is
it the soundtrack the level design and
everything is amazing you've got the the
real fast
rocky electronica music head with the
crazy neon visuals and one of the tracks
were flying around in a hot-air balloons
it was awesome I don't think there's
another racing game out there that has
put so much emphasis on team playing the
fact that you can trade items back and
help your teammates when things start
going wrong can really allow you to
create some really cool strategies and
techniques and I don't think that's been
done before it's definitely a first in
the racing games and as I mentioned at
the beginning of the video I'm a massive
Sonic fan I love all the characters I'm
glad they're bringing some of them back
for this game I'm glad they all have
their crazy cars personalities and the
game looks so slick and I hope I brought
