A friend of mine found this... community.livejournal.com/sonicstuff/589550.html...somewhere on the interwebs. It's a preview of a new Sonic Riders game that someone copied to their Livejournal. I for one am giddy as hell, I LOVED the insane challenge the first Riders gave me, and if anything, I want them to make it even harder. (Maybe even F-Zero GX kind of hard, if it's possible) ...Oh, and online multiplayer, they need that so bad.

Eh, the first game was alright, it need more Shadow and Rouge. But, wouldn't it basically be like the first one?
Hay guys, lets go 'airboard' and find sum emeralds!1!"

Actually I think it'd be a bit silly to force them into the storyline, especially Shadow.
"Kay gaiz, I'mma go take a break from mourning the loss of Maria and running from the government to go boardin'."
As long as he's playable, I'm fine with it. And while I'm on the subject of who's playable, anyone got any guesses of who they're going to throw into this game?

[glow=red,2,300]Oh GOD. If they bring Jet back for some RANDOM, UNGODLY (who gives a crap about spelling?) REASON, I will JUMP off a friggin CLIFF! AH!
Oh and by the way, knowing SEGA, who knows who they'll pop in this time? *sniffs new game* I smell crappy new characters![/glow]

Hey, I like Jet! Anyway they kinda sorta already announced that he's back in and for why... " In Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, Sonic discovers a strange artifact that has the ability to alter gravity itself. An object of this power obviously attracts Sonic's rival, Jet the Hawk (who made his first game appearance in the original Sonic Riders) and this sets off a war of sorts for possession of the artifact." And of course they're gonna add new characters that no one cares about, that's just stating the obvious right there.

See, I like Jet. I think he's a cocky son of a gun that doesn't give a flying (litterly) crap who Sonic is. And I like it. He's not like Shadow and Metal Sonic that are rivals out of some urge to prove they're better. Jet KNOWS he's better. In fact, for the most part, he is. Sonic's new to this extreme gear crap, and it wasn't until the end of the story that he even got close to placing with Jet and his goons.
Don't mistake me. I'd HATE to see Jet in Sonic Rivals 2 or any other main game. He should have no reason to be in it. He doesn't care enough about global politics to fight for anything. However, I'd love to see him return in Riders: Zero G, since this is his business. Hell, his people invented the sport. They should be in it.
I also like the story of the first. It was nothing major, but it was a light tale that let the personalities of the characters shine -- perfect for a racing game. I just hope they do something similar in feel, but fresher this time. At risque of it being silly, I would like Shadow, Rouge and what not to be in this game. Perhaps have a larger story of trying to protect this Zero G device, and the people who's hands it falls into.
I hear they're taking away turbulence. Thank God. Here's a list of things I'd love change for the sequel.
*Better course design (Fewer 90 degree turns). *Less savagely difficult AI. (Make it adjustable). *Better EQ on Voice Samples. (I should be able to hear Rouge taunt) *Less obnoxious Omocho Samples. *More vibrant attacks. *Fewer races against non-descript robots for no apparent reason. *Less use of the word EXTREME. *Perhaps a few courses inspired by classic Sonic levels?

Hopefully this game is worthy of a sequal. Quacker, I have to dissagree about the AI. As freakin' difficult as it was at first, they turn to the easiest thing in the world. I can even overlap them, and between me and second place is about 15 seconds. Other than that, I'm fine with everything you guys said.

........... I just dont see this being any good. Also, the PS2??? What a waste! Everyone's going to get it for Wii. Maybe they can make up for the bad storyline (because it will be) with awesome gameplay mechanics. PLEASE dont let Jet return!!! I already blew his brains out on my deviantart page!!! EDIT: Here ya go... it's kind of hard to find on DA. Sorry for the bad scan quality! fakersinc.deviantart.com/art/Jet-Must-Die-61194763Also, in defense of Sonic, Jet can be best at baking cakes for all I care. Sonic could STILL kick his annoying ass. >D If anything, you all should feel grateful to Sonic for dumbing down his own talent to give the bird brain a chance! THATS RIGHT. If Sonic didnt wanna be fair, there would be no Riders game!

[glow=red,2,300] Exactly! Jet was sort of fun to play as, but man, his voice sucked! He was kinda stupid, dissing Sonic and all. Plus, whenever he opened his mouth, all I could hear were crappish screeches. I think some over-exaggeration of his voice used in this video I saw once proves the point. youtube.com/watch?v=K-Ad_iW6rRE Plus, it's a friggin funny video. Jet's kinda cool, but a word to SEGA: Get him a better voice and I'll try to be a little more fan-girly instead of kill-Jet....-ish. Even though Shadow is my fav.[/glow]

True, Jet's voice was annoying. However, did you notice that it sounds much better in the opening movie for the heroes? It wasn't all high-pitched like the in-game version.
And, if any character(s) should be added in Zero Gravity, here's a list:
Chaos Zero Silver the Hedgehog Blaze the Cat Mephiles the Dark The super forms of Silver, Sonc, and Shadow (special board only!)

Welcome to the message Boards, Silver. The voice was better in the opening movie. Sadly, it sounded TOO close to Sonic. As much as I hate the squeaky on in game, at least it's isn't a dead ringer for Soniku. That's a cool wish list you have, but it's a little impractical. *Chaos Zero has no reason to be ridding an Air board, what so ever (not that Cream did either...) *Silver the Hedgehog is cool, but doesn't he belong in the future? He loves his world, so shouldn't he go back to it? *Blaze is Hawt, and I lover her, but I'm not sure why should would travel through time to mess around with Jet. *Meph the Plothole-a-saurus is dead, and apparently never existed that to the ending of Sonic 360 (Thank God) *The special boards would be awesome with Super forms.

Truthfully, I could see all those characters being in, just not being in the storyline, like Shadow and Rouge were in the first one. (Except Mephiles the Rock Candy)
Oh and yes, Shadow does needs to go golden sex god in this game.

Damn it. I wish "Golden Sex God" was his official name.

I know what you mean by impractical, Duk. But, just to be a little more insane, here's what their attacks could be:
Chaos Zero: Becomes Chaos 4 for no reason and dies because he isn't in water (He's a shark-thing. Sharks need water)
Silver: Warp back in time to the beginning of the race to annoy the player (Lv.3=beginning of game and all data erased!)
Blaze the Cat: Become a fire kitty and loses race due to 3rd degree burns.
Mephiles the Dark: Summons the fire dude from Sonic 2006. Chaos flies by and washes him away. Mephiles loses.
THAT'S impractical!
Oh, and the reason, in case some are wondering, that Tails and Knuckles wouldn't be used for the super board thingy, is because they never changed appearance.
Another thing that would be nice is if you could create your own character, but that wouldn't fit in...unless it's in extras?
And besides, Sonic Riders isn't cannon, so that explains Silver and Blaze. AND Mephiles the creepy Shadow-look alike.

Heh, heh.... That is pretty impractical man. Where did you get the whole Chaos needs water as a shark thing? I'd assume a shark made OF water has enough water. Also, Penguin, can you come over my place and unlock all the character for me? I'm usually great at games, but sonic riders borders on infuriatingly difficult.
