A Closer Look at Dragon Canyon in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
We announced Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed just one week ago, and gave you guys your first look at the new & returning characters as well as two of the levels – Dragon Canyon from Panzer Dragoon, and Temple Trouble from Super Monkey Ball. Today, we’re showing you some concept art from the Dragon Canyon level.
Panzer Dragoon was released in 1995 for the SEGA Saturn. The Dragon Canyon Empire level takes its cues from the bleak, fallen lands which provided the setting for the legendary SEGA Saturn game and its sequels. Once a great and prosperous empire, it’s civilization was destroyed millennia ago; the last remaining people live in fear of biological weapons which they created in the past. The one last hope was a blue dragon, discovered in an ancient temple, and is the centerpiece of this level. The winding canyons are heavily inspired by the on-rails nature of the original titles, however the land, sea, and air options and ever-changing environment present these ravines in a very different way.
You can see how this concept art is echoed throughout the level.
We’ll take a closer look at Temple Trouble later this week.

Please have splitscreen multiplayer modes on PC with multiple game pad support. I believe this will trend well with the gaming community. Also, buy stock in game pad makers.

Wow….just…wow, this looks just AMAZING I mean, how many hours did the concept artist(s) spend in them? They are really awesome.
Maybe the game is a clone of Mario Kart but, with the last one, we can be sure that it will be really fun

The panzer concepts really transitioned well into the actual game. I’m getting a slight Orta vibe in there, too…

Woah, this is unreal. I never thought that Sega would be digging so deep into their archives for this game. This makes me hopeful that we’ll be seeing a NiGHTS track as well.

It always struck me a little weird that Sega’s not looked into artbooks for their various series. They seem to be rather lucrative for Capcom. But that’s not what matters right now.
What matters is that this is looking to be a very fun game, hopefully better than the first time. I can still only hope that we will see Segata Sanshiro sitting indian-style on a Sega Saturn controller as a racer. I can dream, at least…

That’s some very impressive artwork, I like how the buildings resemble those seen in the original Panzer Dragoon.

Wow. The design looks so well-organized and Panzer Dragoon stage looks so mystical.

It wouldn’t be Panzer Dragoon without some amazing art behind it. It’s certainly a change from what I normally associate with the dead, post-apocalyptic world of the game, and at the same time, it’s nice to see a different take on the PD world. As others have said, the first and last pieces are more reminiscent of the first game’s art. RIP Moebius.
