Third guest of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Leaked
Today has been a crazy day for those who want spoilers for Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. First, we got hold of who the latest unlockable in the game is, thanks to Spanish site Sonic Paradise, and now we can also say who the third guest in the game is.
Many have been rumored, from Hatsune Miku to Segata Sanshiro or even more Wreck-it Ralph characters, but the real deal is that Valve’s Team Fortress characters are in the game.
And you might ask…characters? More than one? Yes. Three of them, in fact. There won’t be more than one character at the same time, since Sumo stated a long time ago that they won’t be able to put more than one character in a vehicle at a time due to technological issues. They’ve got a pretty interesting way to dodge that here.
Three famous Team Fortress characters will be available at the game, but they will collectively only take up one character slot as the driver will change every time we transform into a different vehicle. For the land vehicle, we will use the Pyro. For the water section, Heavy will be the captain of the ship, and the Spy will drive during the aerial segments.
Again, we don’t have any image or video of the characters; we only have file names of textures and models inside of the game disk data. We can pretty sure, however, that this is a PC exclusive, even if it was found in the Xbox 360 version. It’s not the first time this has happened even outside of Sega, since it’s pretty commonplace for game developers to leave unused characters or other version exclusives inside all of the game versions . It happened with the first Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, since Banjo, Mii and Avatar game files were found in the PC version of the game.
There is still more to come, hang on!
Well that is very unexpected. Happy though! Now if only we had Sonic hats in TF2. . .
…never played TF2, so I’m not even remotely interested. Cool for Steam users and TF2 fans, but I’m indifferent to this addition.
“Three famous Team Fortress characters will be avalaible at the game, but only taking one character sl… […]”
That paragraph sounded kinda strange to me.
THE EGGMAN IS A SPAH
All I can say is that I didn’t see this coming.
awesome! my little bro loves that game, but hes not that big of a sonicfan than me. but since their in the game he’ll play it for sure lol
“Many has been rumoured, from Hatsune Miku, to, again, Segata Sanshiro, or even more Wreck-it Ralph characters. But the real deal is that Valve’s Team Fortress character’s are in the game.”
Segata would be a SEGA character not a guest so that’s incorrect, Lame Pandering Anime Girl TM was deconfirmed months ago by S0L himself. The story at Paradise also mentions Segata being in the game files:
“assets/default/cameos/miscellaneous/sourceimages/segata_diff.tga.texture
assets/default/levels/allstarfinale/sourceimages/segasaturn_norm.tga.texture
assets/default/cameos/miscellaneous/scenes/segatasanshiro.mb:segatahair_mat.material”
So he’s in the game somewhere hopefully as a actual racer and not some hard to find cameo, “allstarfinale” makes me think he’s a final boss or something.
I think i just had a nerdgasum
@Ricardo Mendoza
LOL that’s new
I actually thought the Scout was going to be one of the racers…….
I don’t think I’ve ever been slapped that hard with a surprise. Well besides the Generations spoiler.
Wait…TF2 in my Sonic? Holy sweet mother of god,this game just got 9001% cooler!
Can’t wait for some Pootis.

The day the Internet went “OH MY FUCKIN GOD!!!!”
What Stephan said.
So, SEGA is doing what TF2 does with all the updates: spoilers something new hidden in different files. Yes, even that practice came here.
Now I’m reminded why my SASASR main (bonanza bros) isn’t in this one….f**kX100.
They’ve gone TURBO
If this is true, it’s almost as bad as the Three Raving Rabbids in TMNT:Smash Up.
If not worse because SUMO has been going on and on about how hard and money/time consuming, it is to make characters/animations/vehicles, etc.
To focus on three… no… FIVE 3rd party characters before SEGA ones really is a deal-breaker to me.
Still, I’ll give them the benefit of doubt for now, and brush this off as fake.
@’XaDos: Give Andrea a break because I vaguely remember reading that she is a part of one of the foreign online Sonic communities and, besides that, she has a way with words. Even so, judging from her writing style, she must be a latin speaker, either Spanish or Portuguese, because I notice a few (very, very few, Andrea!) prepositional errors here and there that creep in the text. Either way, she writes worlds better than most of the native English speakers who frequent this site and a fair cut above most of the current staff writers at TSS excluding Dreadknux and T-Bird.
@All: I did not expect the inclusion of these characters in the game. It really doesn’t make a difference in my final decision of buying the game, but I am sure my hardcore PC gamer friends will find it icing on the cake.

This is the weirdest crossover ever.
@edcedc
Nice.
@SSJSonicXX14
I keep meaning to ask, what’s your problem with Miku again? (Who is she supposed to be “pandering” to?) Did some fat guy dressed as Miku touch you inappropriately? That’s no good.
We seriously need photos to back this up. I will not believe this for a second if photo evidence is not shown. Granted, this is fucking incredible, but really, we need video and photos. Regardless, good news. 😀
@Ecchi …You mean to tell me that just because they have some extra characters in the roster that you dismiss the rest of the whole fucking game?
@darkgomugomu that’s the sonic fanbase for you. :U
@WorldsSlowestHedgehog
Take out the damned ponies and the hated CoD & I’d buy it for a laugh.
I’m sorry for those that don’t like this roster but Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Metal Sonic,, Eggman, Wreck-it Ralph, Nights, Vyse, Beat and the cameos of Ristar and Segata Sanshiro are enough for me.it would be nice if they bring back Ryo and put Team fortress’s guys on consoles
really in that respect they could have done done team chaotix
espio for land
vector for water
and charmy for air
Am I the only one who wished hatsune miku was in the game
@Sonicfan91: Yes. Miku has no place being in a this game, or any game with other Sega characters in it for that matter.
Not to mention the Vocaloids are disgustingly overrated.
How so?
God dammit. What crummy choices these turned out to be. Got so hyped but then all of a sudden its clones and guest-character after guest character. These characters don’t even make freaking sense. What does Sonic have to do with TF2? This game has become nothing more than a publicity stunt for Sega, with Nascar, with Disney, and now with frickin Valve.
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO ACTUALLY WANTED TO SEE SEGA CHARACTERS?
@Sonicfan91
I’m not totally bummed out, until someone mentioned her she wasn’t even on my radar as far as who I wanted in this game. It would have been nice to play as her though.
@Amuro
But Sega exclusively makes all the games, she’s not completely removed from Sega. Besides, would she be any worse a fit then Danica or the (admittedly awesome) TF2 characters?
WE GOT A SPY ‘ROUND HERE
