Xbox 360 only?
K, I ain't happy.  Myself 123  21:15, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not too excited myself, Myself (I just love all the fun things I can say when talking to you), but the concept of the game is to use your body, and unless Nintendo comes up with something good, and/or Sony makes another EyeToy, were stuck going over to a friend's house and saying "Hey, can I use your Xbox 360?"

-SalaComMander

I would, but I've never done it before so I don't know how. Anyway, I guess we know why they've called it Sonic Free Riders.  Myself 123  21:34, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Done, I reckon.  Myself 123  21:39, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you are you an admin on another site?  Myself 123  21:42, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

All right I was wondering how you knew.  Myself 123  21:48, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Wait, so you're an admin on other wikis? How are you not qualified here?

-SalaComMander

I never saw "XBox360 exclusive" anywhere.--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round ~ 23:32, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

@Murphyshane

Ok, I guess that makes sense

@Kagimizu

You really didn't look hard at all.

-SalaComMander

@Kagimizu: You need the Kinect to play the game. And Kinect is only used for the XBox 360. Sonic &amp; Scrab  Master

I'm pissed off to. What about those who only have Nintendo systems? Oh well, maybe they'll make one where u can use the Wii balnce board. Metatknight 321

Not gonna happen. Too much motion control for Wii.

-SalaComMander

Xbox360 Is the only game systym I don't like, and I really want this game! Mesuxelf (talk) 13:59, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

the Wii has games where a camera (that acts exactly like kinect does) is needed. Said wii games come with the camera, so I don't think full body motion is a problem for the wii. And what about those people who dont own an xbox 360 nor have friends with one? guess they'll have to miss out on it :(Toa Zyphex: ONLINE! 20:21, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

I have an XBOX 360 but I don't have the kinect. Only because it costs to much. I do plan on playing this game. When I get a kinect this will be the first game I buy for it.Danielk2427 14:04, March 22, 2011 (UTC)danielk2427

YESSS
YESS!

unlike some of us, I am veeery exited about this :)

cause i only have 360.. XD

I know my family has enough. My parents are going to buy Kinect to buy Kinetcimals for my sister, and I'll use my money to buy Free Riders. I'm home most of the time, so I'll get many chances to play. Sonic &amp; Scrab  Master

LOL I'm so exited with this announcement! But Mighty is right, linekt must cost ALOTSENATORSILVER 14:26, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Storm is confirmed. And we don't know for sure if Kinect is required, but we know that it's the suggested method.

-SalaComMander

Vat!? Only for ze XBox 360!? This is abomination! (XD) But, anyways, I guess I'll have to stare at Youtube for a while when the game comes out...  KHGenesis651  SUPER NOVA  01:40, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

New Sonic Riders Characters

 * What if E-123 Omega, Metal Sonic, Marine the Raccoon, Shade the Echidna, Tikal the Echidna, Chaos, Cosmo the Seedrian, Big the Cat, Chip "Light Gaia", Chaotix (Espio the Chameleom, Vector the Crocodille, and Charmy Bee), Eggman Nega and others appear ?

Any Question? how do you unlock silver and blaze

I doubt most of them, but they would all be awesome.

-SalaComMander

This question is aswesome and irrelevent i agree. Sonic &amp; Scrab  Master

Hey, this is neither stupid nor irrelevant. There's no such thing as a stupid question, and since he's asking our opinions about whether or not we would like these characters to appear in Sonic Free Riders, it becomes completely relevant. -SalaComMander very grees


 * what if e-123 omega, vector, espio, charmy, and big can be in it that would be the greatest game in sonic riders history don't worried all sonic x characthers will be cast in the of sonic free riders.ditso duck

Wii game

 * Sonic Free Riders is not going to be in the Wii, and its going have Mii? Why?

It's not for Wii, if you insist of asking such questions, then at least read the article first.  Myself 123  16:03, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

To good to be true? (My opinion)
Aside from being officially confirmed (which I haven't heard), they've been in every Sonic Riders game so far.

-SalaComMander

Yeah, he's not official, it's just some jerk making stupid edits.

-SalaComMander

To be honest, that would be kinda cool in my opinion if Big was playable in this game. Sonic &amp; Scrab  Master

Just so long as he doesn't talk, Big's new voice is the only one I absolutely despise.

-SalaComMander

One Problem....
I'm sure he'll still have a Bike in this one, but they're gonna hve to get creative to figure out how to control it with Kinect.

-SalaComMander

He does backflips.

-SalaComMander

Play the first Sonic Riders, Peform a trick and pull back.

-SalaComMander

QUESTION


This is from the first, and it's edited.  Myself 123  20:49, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Kinect Only?
Anyone have any news if this is compatible with standard 360 controllers too? I don't want to buy Kinect, but I really want Sonic Free Riders. --Halofighter92 00:46, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

odds are your gonna have to buy Kinect sooner or later, because alot of games that are gonna be released in the future will use kinect-14sonicstar-/[Digital overload]/.http

2 good reasons why I am against Kinect.
 * Ever since Wii came out, sick of games trying to get me to get up and be active and stuff. If I wanted to exersize, I would go out of the house or something (Or play WiiFit). Whatever happen to being able to pull off the epic with just a simple control pad in your hands? A keyboard is fine too.
 * I have a low ceiling, that and I am tall. Not only will I be bumping my head a lot jumping but also be making a noise that the neighbours might not like.

I had confidence that like SR0G, that while a new method of gameplay will be introduce it would still be playable with previous controls. Since I play SR0G (and Brawl) with my trusty GameCube controller.

These "active" methods of game control we have today, while a clever new way to play games, but haven't really considered the home of the players in advance.--Mystic Monkey  sez 00:24, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Not to mention they just overall aren't as effective as a controller. -SalaComMander

Yeah. I believe that these days, game producers are concentrating on features but keep forgetting who these features are for. I noticed this happening for a while now. For example I rented Transformers: War for Cybertron because it's review boasted loads of good features like being able to design your own transformer. However because my XBox 360 is not set up with XBox: Live (I dunno much about it nor how to set it up properly, heard I need to buy it.) it means I cannot use any of the nice features or unlockables at all. Despite all the fun it promises, all I can do is play in story mode. Another example is Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles which looks all well and nice, but it's really more for friends and team work and those playing alone will rapidly get bored.

Features are all well and nice but utterly stupid to the players who can't use them. Producers should consider every player than just presume everyones console is online or live thus limit it down to those who have it while those who don't have the these online features are not playing the games to there full potential.--Mystic Monkey  sez 22:18, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. I have Halo 3 at home but I don't have XBOX Live so all I can do is play the story mode.--Danielk2427 14:27, March 22, 2011 (UTC)Danielk2427

Chaotix?!
Chaotix are awesome....case opened alot of people agree theirs people that never played espio,charmy,vector,

in sonic riders so people expect the chaotix team to be in sonic free riders caused it will be fun please disco duck

cast them it the game.

'bout time
About time I got my hands on a Kinect and game... Though have to forget about "eatting" til week after this Friday but despite my aching wallet I am happy. Though setting up Kinects is a bit of a pain and I can't steer properly. But now I can help out with Extreme Gear articles.--''' Mystic Monkey is at  Diamond Dust Zone  this Christmas.

Dr. Eggman and E-10000
Hi, I noticed that there was a recent addition of unconformed characters to the list of playable characters, while it seems that they were removed, I still see both Dr. Eggman and E-10000 as playable characters, is this confirmed? I have not heard any info about characters apart form the ones seen in the E3 demo and I want to be sure that this isn't just speculation. 74.70.209.222 16:11, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

E-10000 Has been confirmed, and considering that he's a Eggman robot, it seems likely that he will appear too.  Myself  123  16:20, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I did some research and I found some footage that confirms Dr. Eggman for sure as well Do you want me to cite it as a source? 74.70.209.222 17:27, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah sure.  Myself  123  17:37, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Lock this page to new and unregistered contributors
I recall that we do that to games that are still in development in order to avoid vandalism right? Well now would be a good time to enforce that policy.Jacktheinfinite101 17:48, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

It's been done, I've also blocked that user for a week, It really bugs me when people outright ignore me.  Myself  <font color="Black">123  17:45, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Don't let him get to you, he's just looking to cause some trouble. Jacktheinfinite101 17:48, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

O.k. Thank you.  Myself  <font color="Black">123  17:50, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Plot
Okay, what about plot? Any suggestions about what it might be about, or any confirmed details?--Wh!te$tar 02:52, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Gaah!
What's that freaky blue thing!? and were did it come from?

I think hes tails dolls cousin.XD But the real question is why does he get artwork before everyone except Sonic and Jet?

I think he might have something to do with avatars but I am not sure.--<font color="00FF69">Mystic Monkey  sez 16:14, September 17, 2010 (UTC)



He's meant to be some sort of a dummy figure.OrbAdventures (talk) 12:23, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

sonic free riders
hi me and my family we enjoy playing all characters in sonic free riders i hope sega adds all the characters like special charaters:marine the racoon, captin whisker, chris thorndyke, johnny, chip, light-gaia, dark gaia, wisps more main characters:maria, pb robotnik, g.u.n, nega, mighty, froggy, cheese, eggrobo, eloo -series, gizoids, fANG, Omochao,the president, flickies, tikal etc,The main chacters are: sonic, tails, knunkles, shadow, amy, rouge, blaze, espio, vector, mental sonic, the chaos and dr.eggman. Recurring cast: omega, cream, big, charmy, jet, wave, silver, storm, vanilla the rabbit,E 102, gamma,and Emerl the gizoid,chibi charmy bee, cosmo and also hyper sonic x all these characters should appear in this third game of sonic riders becaused thats what sega said in two weeks ago he said its o.k. that all these characters could be in the third game of sonic riders becaused i alot of people said that we should make sonic free riders better than the first game and zero gravity,becaused were trying to make it more fun but people want to play old and new characters,they never played them before thats why they should appear.thank you and we all apreciated.the chaotix should appear becaused we never played them before so we all expect theirs like about 900 people that want to played all characters cause I'll be more fun thats why.

this sucks now i have to sell my stuff to get xbox 360 and kinect

Graphics
This game doesn't seem to have the right amount of graphics for a XB360 game. Ultimate Dude  127 17:04, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

No Custom boards?

 * The customization of the game isn't really making an extreme gear but leveling up one characters extreme gear by tasks.

Thats not "customizing" at all, that is just leveling up. I know it is still early days but this game is either nearly finished or waiting release. I invisioned Extreme Gear Customizing to be something like recolouring any gear (character or brought in shop) and perhaps changing it's shape or something and the oppotunity to rename it. I was looking forward to the idea of my own "character" board even if it's based on Sonic's or another gear. Is it too soon to say how Extreme Gear Customization will work?--''' <font color="00FF69">Mystic Monkey is at  Pumpkin Hill  this Halloween. ''' 21:53, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

Yesss........

This had better not be like Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. When they said you can change your board in the middle of the race, I thought they meant actually changing to a completely different board during the race, not upgrading it.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 17:05, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

Music
Do they have the characters theme songs in this one like Catch me if you can? Eggmanfan 19:27, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Metal
Someone has put a red link Metal City Expert, but shouldn't such a stage be added to the Metal City article?--<font color="00FF69">Mystic Monkey  sez 00:27, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

Also, does it count as Trivia to say that Metal Sonic is the only character not to have any sport equipment like different shoes, goggles or shades?--<font color="00FF69">Mystic Monkey  sez 02:16, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

Haha!
Im Excited! I Have the Kinect and 360 and Wii! So HaHaha! Im Ready For getting up and move! Kool! 22:13, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

Speed/Flight/Power types
If anyone has played this game, you would know there aren't any types. For example, Vector can't even punch things (as the gear part isn't available for bikes strangely). In fact, some people can have either no types or two. The only difference between these characters is their position they ride in (normal and goofy). So should the types area of the topic change to board positions, or should they just be wrong for the rest of time? Violo 08:48, December 16, 2010 (UTC)

It should be changed to board stances. Strange that you can't add gear parts to the Beginner.OrbAdventures (talk) 12:21, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

Cream artwork sprites
I've been waiting for weeks and weeks, and I still see the major problem of the sprites; they're too small. They're supposed to be as big as the other Sonic Heroes. Just like in the actual game. Could someone do something about it? Morty340 21:10, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

SONIC TEAM
Y U NO RELEASE THIS GAME ON PS3?! Linkzelda1234 08:01, February 7, 2012 (UTC)
