Re: The Sonic General Thread (Team Sonic Racing Revealed!)
Wonder why Sega decided that having the racing game based entirely on Sonic is the best direction for a racing game, since their previous games attempted to place other SEGA characters to make for a diverse set of characters. Not that I am complaining since Sonic's already taken up the majority of the racing roster, so the next logical step is to make a racing game entirely from the Sonic universe. I also agree that Wisps are a great way to use items, and I like the powers they spout ("Rocket", "Laser", etc.). I think it's another logical way to utilise standard Mario Kart powerups, so for example Laser can act like a Mushroom boost for the cars.
15 characters sounds like a good start. I can see the standard cast showing: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, Metal Sonic and Eggman. What the rest are is a trickier question since Sonic has a diverse cast of characters but to have 15 altogether is not enough. I am guessing that Blaze, Silver, Rouge, Cream and Vector are the next in line are probably Espio, Big and Sticks.
I wonder if Sonic is taking cues from Mario Kart since there are several thing that Mario Kart is already doing: 12 players per race, taking place first-and-foremost at their home franchise and a more standarised power-up system as a result.
Thank you for reading.

Got IDW Sonic the Hedgehog issue #5 today.

The plot involves The Chaotix receiving a anonymous tip that Eggman was spotted in a village and Espio brings Sonic to it but when they arrive it's revealed that Eggman (supposedly) has some form of amnesia and does not remember who he was. He adopted the identity of a oblivious handyman apply dubbed "Mr. Tinker" and in all honesty it's kind of adorable seeing him being portrayed as a good guy even if it's obvious it won't last long and things will inevitably revert back to the status quo eventually.
Also I love how they gave him overalls.

Re: The Sonic General Thread (Team Sonic Racing Revealed!)
Looks like they only show Team Sonic (Sonic, Tails and Knuckles) and Team Dark (Shadow, Rouge and Omega), probably because of the Sonic and Shadow relationship, so I am curious on what Team Rose would have since Amy is the only one who appears regularly whereas Big seems to be gone while Cream appears less frequently.
I predict Team Eggman will not only have the doctor himself, but Metal Sonic and Orbot+Cubot (both in the same car).

I might be wrong but I don't think Omega necessarily appears on a more regular basis compared to Cream or Big.
But my Sonic lore is rusty.

Yes, Omega doesn't appear quite often, but he is probably seen as more important than Cream. Just so you know, Cream the Rabbit doesn't appear in Sonic Forces, whereas Omega and Rouge did. I guess the darker tone in Forces would be out of place for a cheerful kid like Cream, but Omega is more suited for such a setting. Still, Cream is probably going to appear in Team Sonic Racing since she has occasional appearances.
Big is essentially gone ever since the management decided that Big is not a good idea, so we can see that Team Rose didn't have Big, as it's usually Vector that took that place.
