Hotshot Racing is a brand new arcade racing game for PCs from Lucky Mountain Games, Sumo Digital and Curve Digital that is heavily inspired by SEGA arcade racers like Virtua Racing, Scud Race and Out Run 2. We were kindly given access to the recent beta and we’ve put the game through its paces to discover if it’s worthy of your time.
A new remix from the Team Sonic Racing soundtrack has made its way online. This time Jun Senoue teams up with Tee Lopes and Takeshi Taneda for a remix of Sonic Adventure’s Sand Hill theme. This new remix will accompany the Sand Road circuit in Team Sonic Racing. Listen by clicking the embed below; it’s something very special indeed:
Team Sonic Racing is due to be released on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on May 21st 2019. The game is being developed by Sumo Digital.
It’s time for another new song from the Team Sonic Racing soundtrack! Jun Senoue is back and this time he’s collaborating with none other than Hyper Potions for ‘Market Street’; a remix of the Rooftop Run theme from Sonic Unleashed. Check it out below:
Gamescom is currently on, and as such there’s been plenty of new information regarding the upcoming Sumo Digital racer Team Sonic Racing, from a variety of sources.
First of all, a new track has been shown to press, revealing Market Street – based on Sonic Unleashed’s Rooftop Run. It seems more based on the Generations iteration of the stage, with balloons and confetti abound. Besides, there are also new released casino games at 666 casino. Be sure to check it out.
Famitsu has also published a preview of the title, revealing the mysterious character seen on the game’s box art. His name is Dodonpa, and he’s apparently a suspicious but charismatic Tanuki who invites Sonic and co. to race. They also offered a brief look at the game’s story mode, which appears to have a similar map system to Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed’s World Tour mode. Cutscenes of some description are also in, though they appear to be basic textboxes with portraits a la Sonic Free Riders.
(We haven’t included the full scans of Famitsu due to it being a bit spotty legally, but they’re out there).
Finally, an IGN Stream has confirmed the number of tracks on offer. There’ll be 21 tracks, spread across 7 locations. This is similar to the original Sonic & SEGA All Stars Racing, which had multiple tracks in say, Seaside Hill and Final Fortress from Sonic Heroes. Apparently the earliest game to be represented through tracks will be Sonic the Hedgehog 3 – although ingame signage has mentioned Green Hill Zone. On a more amusing note, you can make a team of the same character – so if you want a Big the Cat army, that’s a thing you can do, since this types of games are popular for this, but there are also other types of games where you can even make money, such as Casino games like sbobet online.
Overall, there’s a hefty amount to digest here. We’ve included a gallery of Market Street screenshots from SEGA Press below (past the jump) – let us know what you think! (more…)
When Tracker isn’t playing SEGA games, he’s talking about SEGA games. Or drawing about SEGA games. Or all of the above. You can also catch him over on Twitter.

Sumo Digital have put together a gallery of unused concepts for the original Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing.

Website Dead End Thrills has been given a debug version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed to play with and produced some amazing screenshots of scenes from the game in a super-high resolution for your viewing pleasure.

No information regarding what character it is has been revealed at this time. Presumably, the character will be released as DLC for the game at some point in the near future.
