The modern Sonic racing games have generally been decent, so I have high expectations. I hope it's just Sonic characters alone, since I never really cared for Sega's other IPs, and there are plenty of unloved Sonic characters that could do with a little more exposure. Besides, there's always DLC if there is enough demand... I think there's a good chance there will be more than 15 racers, which seems very paltry in the world of racing games today.

1. The roster is often limited to a certain number of characters, and it's always going to be the more popular ones that make it. So unless there's enough demand to see the likes of Mighty back, the "forgotten" characters won't be featured I'm afraid.

2. Silver is long overdue in a Sonic racing game; he's fairly well liked by fans, at least nowadays. As for other characters, we'll have to wait and see.

3. New missions would make the game more interesting and worth playing, so I'm counting on it.

Another thing I'm speculating on is the Sonic levels that the race courses will be based on. I'm sick to death of Green Hill Zone and Seaside Hill, but I won't be mad if they return yet again. I'm looking forward to whatever is revealed next!
