There’s been plenty of concerning developments in gaming news recently. More than probably is healthy for anybody to take in all at once. I’ve touched on pieces of it here and there, but today I want to take a break from it entirely and focus on something fun instead. With that in mind, have you heard about the next big update for Sonic Racing: Crossworlds?
As part of the Sega Consoles pack, players will gain access to four new cars based around most of Sega’s original consoles. That’s one car each for the Master System, the Genesis (on its own), the Mega Drive and all its add-ons, the Saturn and the Dreamcast. The Master System has notably been left out for some reason, but perhaps that’s something that’ll come later on.
For those who aren’t in the know, the Mega Drive is just what the Genesis was called outside of the United States. Also, there is indeed potential for the Master System to come later, since Sega can still car-ify its handheld systems (the Game Gear and the Nomad).
The designs all look pretty slick, even the Mega Drive with its full tower of add-ons on its rear. Actually, it’s kind of nice to see Sega’s able to poke some fun at the monstrosity the Genesis wound up being after the Sega CD, Sega 32x and the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge came out, isn’t it?
There’s another update that adds a new, 1v1 Dual Mode, that allows players to settle the question of who’s better without any distractions or interruptions. So it’s looking like there’s plenty of reason to jump into the game both for those who’ve lapsed or who’re looking for a reason to pick it up.
I’m not a racing guy, so I don’t know if Sonic Racing: Crossworlds is worth the $40 asking price, but stuff like this does admittedly get me to give games like it a second look.
Have you been playing Sonic Racing: Crossworlds? What console would you pick if you could only drive one?
