Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity

I also use Firefox mainly. However I am currently at my parents (leaving tomorrow again, yay :) ) who do not have Firefox and I have to use IE7.IE7 overall seems to be a bit slower, and won't load a page unless all components are downloaded, whereas Firefox shows every component when it gets downloaded. However, IE7 also has its uses, like when you want to retrieve some media that are not downloadable like swf, flv, mp3 etc.). I like it how some sites have prohibited the use ofright-clicking to avoid people downloading their files, Ionly need to go and get them later from Temporary Internet Files! :twisted:

Ahem, on topic: The japanese title is "Sonic Riders - Shooting Star Story" as sonicphc discovered. Does that mean that the artifact may have impacted the Earth from outer space?

To be on topic, gravity-chnging in 3D Sonic games never worked well with me. Crazy Gadget and Mad Space were prime examples of this. So, I hope they really work on this gravity thing, and make it ... well, you know ... fun.

The gravity issue is really just a transition one. In Mad Space it was solely based on position, and on Crazy gadget it was triggered by a switch. The first didn't work too well. It wasn't clear where gravity was going to change. The second functioned much better, but hurt pacing. I mean, changing gravity is easy to do. Just change the constant force on the player to the direction you want it to be and presto you have changed gravity. It's a really easy thing to do. The problem is, though, making it not catch the player off guard is hard, even when they trigger it intentionally. sonicphc

Inverting gravity is all you need to make the gravity inversion work... it defines itself. Obviously the stage needs to be designed for that change, but that's assumed. As for the camera change, if you're not going to mess with the perspective, which is half of what gravity flipping does, why bother at all? That's like asking why in Sonic Rush doesn't the screen flip upside down on Dead Line when gravity flips. The answer: Because it would seriously disorient people, more so than leaving the camera changed would.sonicphc

well the gravity flipping thing does sound difficult but i did get used to the first Sonic Riders, so i should get used to this one with some practice, once i get it.

also, i have completed Sonic Riders to a 100% yay me!!!

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity Lyrics

There aint no way any other way will do
Fly right any weather nothing new in you
Speeding in a stream in a sense that no one else can define
Floating as a dream in a bliss that you no longer feel time
Watch your gravity, just watcht your other plans
Watch your gravity, fight true now let them loose
Oh, watch your gravity, for all that's knocked falls down
watch your anomalies
With one were believing in, No
Just fight on until its true, Oh

This is what i think the lyrics are, with help form DoctorEggman

Is that the theme song

But then you have to own the board.sonicphc

Nope. No one really does, as the game is still in developement. People are guessing late next year, though.DoctorEggman

I hope this isn't just crap, then.

once its in the usit doesnt take that long till its in Puerto Rico

I haven't payed attention, but has this game been released yet?TAMKFan

I'm sure that this has been brought up several times before, but what characters should be playable in Riders 2? Thus far, we know that sixteen characters will be playable. Many have filled the slots already...

1: Sonic / 2: Tails / 3: Knuckles / 4: Amy / 5: Jet / 6: Wave / 7: Storm / 8: Blaze / 9: Shadow / 10: Rouge / 11: NiGHTS (confirmed in an issue of Nintendo Power)

Dr. Eggman is assured a slot. It's inevitable. Hopefully, his robot riders won't be playable this time. (I'm sure everyone will agree that they were a waste of character selection in the prequel.) Cream should show up, although it seems that her appearances in recent games has declined a bit. Shall we see Marine on Extreme Gear? Perhaps. If so, Sega is recognizing her as a main character. It would be good for her popularity. In addition, it would be really nice to see her in detailed 3D.

Alright. Of course, these are just my guesses. The list is up to fourteen, with the previously mentioned three simply speculation. For #15, Vector, Ulala, or AiAi. Vector, because of his Olympic Games appearance, and Ulala or AiAi, because of their arrival in the first game.

For the last character, I would loooove to see Amigo in the bunch. Why not? He's getting a sequel soon, right? This would be a perfect opportunity for Sega to familiarize audiences to him for his Wii debut. Not to mention his raw maraca attack power! Take that, fellow monkey, AiAi!

Does anyone else have anything they'd like to say about character selection in Zero Gravity?

LOL Nice points, there. :-) Don't mean to pry, but, I think you got AiAi and Amigo a little bit confused. Not to blame, though, because both characters are monkeys, rarely speak, and are both owned by Sega. Samba de Amigo really is the best rhythm game ever devised. You should buy it if you get the chance.

Before I stray completely off-topic, I need to address some mistakes I made in my last post. Dr. Eggman is in. I overlooked that. Silver's in, too. I can't believe myself for leaving him out of the picture. :-| So, here's the list thus far...

#1: Sonic

#2: Tails

#3: Knux

#4: Amy

#5: Jet

#6: Wave

#7: Storm

#8: Eggman

#9: Blaze

#10: Silver

#11: Shadow

#12: Rouge

#13: NiGHTS

According to Wikipedia's SR:ZG article, eighteen characters will be "in the final game", contrary to what I thought I had heard before (sixteen). Also, if you look at the character list, Cream, E-123 Omega, Billy Hatcher, and two "unknown" robots are in it. Woah! Is this official?! This might just be some crazy dolt trying to confuse the world through Wikipedia, but still, it would be nice if all of this is confirmed by Sega. I did some research, and some folks claim that they saw Billy in a trailer, but I haven't been able to spot him myself. Hopefully, Amigo makes it in. Scrap E-123. X-|

Woah! That's incredible! Kudos to KnucklesChao. That must've taken him a while to create. Thanks, Thrippa! X-)
