Here is one topic that I've been wanting to talk about for a while.
Ever since the reveal of Simon from Yogscast in Sonic Racing Transformed, fans of the game have been going nuts to the creator on the Sega forums. There are the people complaining that Yogscast sucks and Simon shouldn't be in the game because no one likes him/has heard of him, and there are the people complaining that Simon should be downloadable on consoles as well as PC.
Adding fuel to the fire, fan favourite Ryo Hazuki, whom fans have been begging to appear in the game from the beginning, is only available on Android and iOS, presumably with all the other most wanted DLC characters. The fans have been raging against Sumo Digital non-stop on the Sega forums. Seriously, those guys are some of the angriest forum users I've ever seen. Only a few guys are genuinely reasonable.
I would like to voice my opinion on this rather trivial and overblown subject, since I love Sonic Racing Transformed to bits.
First of all, I have no problem with Yogscast being in the game. If anything, it's really awesome how a Youtuber can make it into an actual game full of famous characters. While it may be a little annoying that console users can't use these characters, but who really cares. Like most people, I think Sumo Digital should probably release some more DLC for console gamers, but if Sega decide not to, then that's cool I guess. What I really can't understand is the fact that players are complaining that he's in the game, even though he is still optional DLC unlike Team Fortress, Willemus and the other PC exclusives. What's the big deal? If you don't want to play as Simon, then don't, simple as.
Yeah, I'm a little gutted that Ryo's only available on Android and iOS. But it's just one character. Get over it. But I can see that there may be concerns that all of the wanted DLC characters may be only playable on phones. I still want Segeta Sanshiro dammit! I personally think that they should have saved all of this DLC for the next game in the series and then Sumo could have avoided all this agro.
What are your thoughts?
