Yeah, I remember that. Had a demo of it. Thought of it instantly when I heard about Riders.
Trick Style was an absolutely awesome game. Hopefully Riders can turn out to be something like that.

Jet especially looks like Bean.
aye, at first i thought it was void. Honestly this is what, say, sonic spinball *genesis* was similar to. Unfortunately i too would rather see a proper sonic game...

But now you know.... I really hate it."
Reel Big Fish singer talking about one of his own songs...
Yet strangely this game seems to be having the OPPOSITE effect on me, i hated the idea at first but on the CONDITION that it's a solitary spin off i'll be happy to give it a go.
I mean, Sonic and snowboarrding IS already well established, so air boarding is a neat twist and... well, as I said with Shadow when I saw the first video it could go either way.
So, as long as there are MORE Next gen (REAL next generation games) on their way some time in the future (near or far, I want news that it's in production at least) and this is just a one last stop spin off before the current consoles close down, I'll go with it.
And, who knows, this "eXtreme" experience could be quite fun 
I am so going to hate that word by the end of this... 
Tails now wears goggles, and his tuff of hair up front is twice as big. Looks a little like Billy Hatcher. In fact, it could just be for a wind effect, but everyone's hair seems a little longer.
What's up with the new characters? Doesn't Sonic have enough characters in his friggin games already?!! If they needed a bad guy team, they could have easily had Fang, Rouge, maybe Shadow, and a robot or two. What about Bokkun? Stick him as a bomb-throwing rider. That would be great.
I expect we'll see this game around January/Febuary.

Can somebody rip this? Or is this like that Shadow video that can't be ripped because Sega's servers are utter crud?
Oh, and Cream's in. I noticed in some freezeframes from my end.
Edit: I could be wrong about Cream, I watched a lower quality version and it seemed like Cream was in there, but I watched it a second time and now I'm not sure.
Well, the screens and graphics look rad, but I'm afraid I won't be able to control it well. I'm not really good at racing games. I don't do so well in Sonic R, and Tails' and Rouge's kart racing levels are the only thing that's keeping me from getting all A's with Tails and Rouge.(Got all A's with Rouge and all A's with Tails with the exception of Eternal Engine, not including the racing levels of course.) But I will be getting this seeing as how I'm a Sonic maniac. Here's hoping for easy controls.
The new guys are thieves and villains - that automatically makes them worthwhile (providing they don't turn good at the end, like Shadow, G-merl, etc).
My comp's telling me the file's offline. Does anyone know of anywhere else I can download it?
Oooo so they are villians? 😀
Sonic needs more villians and i hope that they all dont join together and fight Eggman.
But they will *sigh*
I wonder if one of them is going to be cockney! please we've got a new yorker (Vector) make my dream come true.
Too small, VCP.
Better.
Looking at that, though, I'm seeing a distinct lack of any kind of filtering whatsoever. I mean, heck, at LEAST try some bilinear filtering, it's only been around for 7+ years.
Amy has a new dress 
BTW Gamespot a new trailer as well pictures
www.gamespot.com/xbox/dri...index.html
From looks of it it story cinemas. Guess unlike Sonic R this one will have story, an EXTREME story 
After watching the trailer, I can't say I think much other than the fact that it reminds me of F-Zero in level design, music and speed. Plus was that Sonic's VA from Sonic X?! >.<
I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT TRUE SPEED REALLY IS!
*twitch* I still hate what they've done with the characters...But it should only be for this game, anyway. Hopefully. As usual the visuals are unimpressive overall too. But, again, it could be fun.
Looks like the big head thing{and Tails'...THING, thing...} are some sort of scaring tech to slow opponents down or generally f**k them up. Interesting. And I love Amy's fangs.
Jet looks prety cool, Web/Wave is a waste of a flamejob, and Storm is just another fat thing.
It didn't SOUND like Ryan Drummond, thats for sure 
it did to me.
and is it just me or does that trailer feel SA2/B-ish.
Those green hoops at the start are from the SA games...
Near the beginning of the video (the one from the japanese page - I'm blind, as I don't see a video at Gamespot with that link) it has "Speed!" (with Sonic), "Fly!" (Tails) and "Power!" (Knux). Utilising the Heroes character categorising. You were right, John Taylor - custom made for Sonic Heroes 2 
Oh my goodness. *I* was right. Wow.
Argh! I was being sarcastic. nooooo
Well i suppose i'd better add something.
Gamecentral (UK Teletext type thing) reported on Sonic Riders today. They werent impressed really.
As far as Tails' bigger hair is concerned. I think Sega just got a hold of some fanart...
It looks like it uses the Sonic heroes engine turned into a racer. Doesn't look half bad actually.
Yikes. Airboards? Why not on foot? Other than that...it looks pretty nice. I love Tails' longer hair, he looks older. =) Not to mention the graphics in general. Jet does look like Bean at a first glance, but another character...Sega what is wrong with you all? Although they are said to be thieves so that's flippin awesome. This gen, wow. I guess this isn't "Sonic Next" then, and it said 70% finished ready by Winter 2006. Whoa. It's late so my thoughts are basically streams of conscienceness, but you can pretty much grasp my idea. =P From what i've seen it looks like it could be a blast.

Some big shots of Sonic Riders and half confirmation of the 8th character.
Sonic
Tails
Knuckles
Amy
Jet
Web/Wave
Storm
Dr Eggman
its gotta be his face on the map unless Big has trimmed his ears and gone gangsta.
Dr Eggman
its gotta be his face on the map unless Big has trimmed his ears and gone gangsta.
Hahaha...I hope he won't be in a machine. It'll be funny to watch him do tricks and stuff.
There seem to be certain places where you get off the board and run. Nice. =)
I like the look of this. It looks like it'll be fun to play. ^^
I'm fairly certain the on-foot portions are reserved for the beginning of the race as they run out into the track and jump on their boards to start. I suppose the camera pans around the group as they do, for effect.
I hope Dr Eggman wont be in a machine. I wonder if they are going to throw all the characters into this game. Big and Vector will look hilairous.
Vector would lookd right at home, his style ie already perfect for it.
Hmmm....thieves and detectives. I could definetly see Vec and Espy being in it, but Charmy. lol What would he ride...a stick? =P I doubt the Chaotix will be in it though. I think we would've seen something about them by now, but I could be wrong of course. I wonder if Blaze will be in it. *stabbed*
Whimmy Wham Wham Wozzle!
Here's video from ign about this game
media.cube.ign.com/media/...ids_1.html
Of course the characters speak in Japanese.
Ooo, it doesn't look too bad afterall. The scaring move is just for slowing down someone adjacent to you...It generally just looks good and I think I'm actually getting used to Tails and Amy's stupid hair.
If anyone wants me to take a screen of a certain part, I can.
Edit: Oh, and I'm thinking about how the types of character will pan out:
Speed: Sonic, Jet?, Amy?
They'll just generally have a top speed and better accelleration?
Fly: Tails, Web/Wave?, Eggman?
They mgiht be able to reach higher places to reach speed hoops that other characters can't, or even be able to reach whole shortcuts.
Power: Knuckles, Storm?, Eggman?
There could be shortcuts in every track, but with obstacles in the way. The power characters would be able to get rid of them, the others won't.
There's a problem with this though - once the obstacles of a shortcut have been destroyed, won't the other characters be able to use them? Maybe the objects have a short respawn time.
That video looked nice. =)
I noticed that at one point (after the green bird says something) a text saying "I've heard enough of your bragging. I'll show you what" appears and the word "Pride" (in japanese) appears. I wonder if that has something to do with the story? After all it looks like there'll be cinema scenes.
Maybe the thieves lure Sonic and co. into the air-boarding races by mocking them or something. I wonder if Eggman hired them? Like others said, I just hope those three stay bad.

Isn't the video at Sonic Central the same...just in English?
right Hyper Sonic Warrior, I downloaded the IGN japanese trailer (I think thats the one you got) and about 1:22 in to it there is a glimspe of Dr Eggman on a bike. It comes after a Sonic trick and a Storm Trick. Sonic is the character the shot is centred on. I tried to capture it but Windows Media Player doesnt want to play ball.

Almost going blind in front of a TV helped. now very think lenses help me see things. I supposed it help the fact that Sonic Adventure and such are fast so i can see things quicker i think.
^^^Eggy?
that would explain the Eggy icon on the map in some of the screens.
also, i believe that the team (from Sonic Team) that worked on the Billy Hatcher character models are the same ones working on this.
that would explain:
-why Tails' and Amy's bangs look big.
-why the feathers on back of Jet's head look similar to that of Billy's.
and
-why the character models have big hands and feet.
SSSOOOOOONNNNNNIIIICCCCCCC RRRRRRRIIIIIIDDDDDDDEEEEEEERRRRSSSSS!
Looks good, hope that the birds are 100% villians, and mention some old villians or something.
Yay Eggman there. But is that board or a hover bike he is using

dunno. they might make an exception for him just like they did in Sonic R (along with Amy and her dumb car).
....though it would be funny as heck to see Eggman riding an air board.
anyway, here's a developer interview video:
www.gamespot.com/gamecube...090805.asx
there will be a demo available at TGS so keep your eyes peeled for demo videos!...as well as hands-on reports.
Gamespot has the same trailer now with english voices. Plus, short interviews with the designers on Sonic Riders, and Sonic Rush.
I have 2 comments:
1) I don't think Sega have messed up a racing agme yet, so this shouldn't be too bad
2) Sadly, however, Sonic R appears to remain the only platform racer out there. Bah.
Well there was Sega Touring Car Championship for the Sega Saturn that wasnt that good. But I agree for the most part Sega do make good to ledgendary racing games.
8 - 17 Riders. Maybe 8 is the sarting amount and then it goes up to 17 when you complete stuff.
Well since it looks like janu left before he could see my post in the Rush topic I SHALL STEAL HIS POST DATA AND ASSIMILATE IT.
- - -
UPDATE:
^^^according to that interview, there will be 17 characters.
this is the same guy that was interviewed by Gamespot that said 8. Takashi Yuda. i believe he's the dude behind this game like Iizuka is with the Shadow game.
but once you think about it, in the GS video, he said "8 MAIN characters" most likely meaning that the story mode will feature those 8 characters (Sonic, Tails, Knux, Amy, Jet, Web/Wave, Storm and Eggy) and in other modes you could probably play as other ppl as well as those 8.
interesting......
- - -
Moo. I like loads of characters. Maybe Shadow will be on his bike like Eggman.
whoops....
i've been too busy to notice.
Quote:
The return of the souless one. The Tails Doll
How can he have no soul if he steals so many each day?
So who could the other nine characters be? Probably Cream, Rouge, Shadow, Espio, Vector, Charmy, Big, Gamma/Omega and possibly Blaze. It'd be nice to see some oldies like Mighty or Fang or Tails Doll, though.
