“Intense” Multiplayer Planned
It appears that the same demo of Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing shown at June’s Electronic Entertainment Expo is available for the public to play at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con.
Brian Ekberg of Gamespot caught up with Sega’s Omar Woodley, who is an associate producer of ASR. They chat it up while Sonic jumps and fidgets around in his car around the track. The chat does bring up some new information, as well as some conflicting material.
From the video, you can see another power-up available for pickup–one of Eggman’s piranhas, which themselves have gotten a redesign from the old days. The all-star move for Amigo has also been disclosed; opponents will be conga dancing out of his way.
The video does bring up some points of contention regarding tracks and playable characters. Woodley suggests that both the number of available characters and available tracks will hit “over 15,” in his words. You may recall back last month that another developer walk through pegged the number of playable characters at 20.
We’ll have to get some additional clarification on that remark at a later point. In the meantime, there’s other material to be uncovered within Gamespot’s video, including multiplayer plans, available below. TSSZ News will continue to bring you new details on Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing on the road to its planned February 2010 release.

Why is the music bringing tears to my eyes?
It makes me very happy for some reason. ;<
Same demo, so not too much else to say till we see new stuff.
You notice how for Sonic they always use his exclamtions from 06 until they record new lines for games?
Super Sonic? What about Magic Sonic who was mentioned the other day?
Looks great, I am really looking forward to playing this! I hope the release date in the UK isn’t too much later than the US one. Although I do have exams around that time anyway.
I want a video of Samba’s special. NOW!
Eggman in a monster truck FTW!
*Smirks* Looks like a fun game. Should be decent, good fun at the very least, and all-star SEGA goodness at the most.
Not bad, I’ll look forward to this product. I like how it’s looking less like Mario Kart and looking more of it’s own creation.
I also Noted the Seaside Hill music. That was nice of them.
Here’s hoping for an ARK level FTW!
