Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart is a standalone mod of a mod based on the Doom Legacy engine, turning the game into a kart racer similar to Super Mario Kart.

>>1958551I went into this board to post about it in the RR general, but that's dead so I'm posting it here.https://www.kartkrew.org/news/2025-09-11_dr-robotniks-ring-racers-version-24-release-candidate.htmlComplete fucking overhaul update, combing over it right now.
>>1958879It’s still more of the same, with more mechanics on top. I don’t know how this is going to bring in new players let alone back people who hated everything about it from the start.At least the turning/handling doesn’t feels less ass and more back to Kart’s.
>>1958879>fall off the track once in a race>fight my way from the back to to first>get an A rank>end up second place by points because the new main scoring system (exp) is based on consistent timing at checkpoints more than where you placehuh...actual control is much improved and from the few hours I played and the new item rates / how its calculated (based on exp) heavily disincentivizes bag2win gameplaythere's still pretty heavy mechanics bloat
>>1958879>all these changesalmost like RR was fucking terrible on release or something!
>>1958879>they actually fixed itwell god damn
>>1959603we'll see about that, seems they just replaced extreme bagging with extreme frontrunning
>>1959606extreme frontrunning is based because it rewards actual skill
>>1959607earned frontrunning maybe, not mechanically-enforced.>position minigame gives an even stronger lead to the first out the gate>no more self-hits means items can be spammed with impunity>trap item hits give amps for if the pack even thinks about catching up>item odds and ring box amounts are affected by exp so frontrunner continually gets more momentum
>>1959611>no more self-hits means items can be spammed with impunitythat literally doesnt even matter if you're in first place anyways, if anything that's a nerf to frontrunning
>>1959616having to potentially contend with your own traps on the next lap makes placing them on the "ideal" path much more risky.
>team mode is just baked in friendmodcome on even m*rio kart lets you do four teams now
racing on a Friday again
>2.3 ring racers>master was a mostly fair and doable challenge can get the emeralds with enough skill>2.4 ring racers>what's that? you fucked up once? LOL you lose your A rank lmaocheckpoints with singleplayer are so shit you are at the mercy of the awful rival npcs noire 2.4 when

GET IN DA SERVERThread soon
ITS UP>>>/v/720588605REMEMBER TO BUMP
>>1960934Per-race rank doesn't actually matter, dumbass, it never has. Overall score is what determines whether you get the Sealed Star and your final rank in general
>>1961204My point still stands master too hard vicious too easy
>>1912690did this shit get canceled? lmfao
Hmmm.....Sunday night traffic accidents, perchance?
>>1912690embarrassing.
>>1958879I fucked around with it for a good while and while it makes massive improvements in a lot of areas (power items in the dirt thank GOD) it struggles even worse from "there's way too fucking much going on right now" syndrome. I think there's three different consumables you have at once now and even more moves on top of an already bloated movesetAlso Nep is in the patch notes lol
>>1967813It's not going to win over people who didn't like 2.3 already I don't think, even if it is more balanced. They've done nothing to compress/simplify the input overload and have added more options on top of everything else. It feel less chaotic in single player if only because you get to stay in first but online it's just as insane as it ever was.
Kart....has perished....
>>1967813The problem with this game is that the core game is too flawed, they would have to make everything straightforward and remove the convoluted bullshit, but that will never happen though, in fact im surprised they dint let the game rot away

>>1958879Not a common user of these threads but played a bit of RR 2.3, could get plat on TTs on most maps with not Chao/Ring guyThe new time trial plats just seem insane, I watched the ghost of 1st after getting bodied and man its insaneKind of discouraging, I thought I was gonna use 2.4 to replay the game, try to complete most of the game, get some medals, now I don't think I want to anymore. It seems like even more of a commitment than before.Maybe I should return to srb2k.
>>1975670Its not hard to pull a gold on time trial, the game is still dogshit though
Is it a good idea to shared privat hosted servers here? I typically play with a group of core friends up to 8 players. I would like to include some of you guys in the gameplay. v5.1 and all
It's been a bit since I last played, do you still have to rely on the console for pretty much all your settings?
>>1984163Most if not all the settings have changeable values in the Options menu nowadays with the modern modded client, though the console is still faster to use so long as you're aware of what command does what.
>>1984114I'd play sure. Whatever settings you have. Just know that the better players here might stomp.
>>1959606>replaced extreme bagging with extreme frontrunningWith the constant complaints about bagging in the Crossworlds threads on /v/, Ring Racers 2.4 has positioned itself as the antithesis of Crossworlds in that regard
>>1987957actually surprised with the amount of people hating bagging, there is some hope after all, its a tranny playstyle
>2.4 rc5 released>EXP actually literally wasn't doing anything to item odds for the past four release candidates besides locking you out of garden top and shrinklol
does anyone have that one image of motobug holding the papes
>>1988343nevermind i found it
>>1985450Well we utilized the xlib custom items and CGB's advance tricks. Plus we've been playing for YEARS now with each other as well. I think you guys have a ton more knowledge though, but I'd like to see how some would fair regardless
>>1987972of course they fucked that upalso i don't know what they did but single player seems to be shittier than it was in 2.3 for some reason

>>2038232>>2038318>they're STILL seething
>new ring racers update releasedthoughts on it? could it be redeemed?
>>2039910the release candidates have been fantastic from what i've played but people who didn't like that it isn't SRB2K2.0 aren't going to like it now
>>2039910they made it worse and its the last update, its finally dead
>>2039910Instead of addressing some criticisms with simple solutions, they tore up the game all over again and stuffed in a bunch of new mechanics. New players are still turned away at the door, old players have their muscle memory skullfucked, and even modders are inconvenienced because race map logic has been redone. It's a lost cause, I'm just going to be replaying 2.3's singleplayer for now on.
>>2039910I like some of the fixes but why add even more mechanics on a already bloated game?
>>2039953>New players are still turned away at the doort. hasn't played any of the release candidates
>>2039953>>2039959What are the new mechanics?
>>2039970https://www.kartkrew.org/news/2025-11-02_dr-robotniks-ring-racers-version-24.html
>>2039990>WavedashThese retards really want this to be Smash on wheels.>This is the last version of Ring Racers to officially support Windows 10lollmao
>>2039910At this point, I kinda appreciate the kitchen sink design. Like if they're gonna commit to DURRRR being a different game and not even technically in the same """series""" as SRB2K, then go all out and add all the nonsense in the world that you want. Never in my life would I want SRB2K to have a ridiculous suicidal afterburner system for the express purpose of tackling other players with the insta-whip, but hey it's fine for DURRRR. My only concern were the actual core issues that made it more objectively bad to play, rather than bad in a "oh god what did they do to SRB2K" sense. It was namely issues with the handling, which they seem to be trying to address, but I'll have to actually play it when I get off work later to see if it's for the better.
>>2040371"Wavedash" has been a thing since 2.0. It's got nothing to do with Smash Bros. Wavedashing besides the name, it's just a small speedboost you get for sliptiding
>>2039910Honestly I'm having a fun time with this, the feeling of going through certain tracks at Gear 3 feels like an adrenaline rush. I wonder what new updates are going to come when it comes to content?
Well hey, I tried a few times to gather folks here for the kart lobbies that we run with agroup of 6-8 people consistently. I only ever got 1 anon join, So yeah, the game feels dead here in 4chan
>make a dogshit sequel>split the already small playerbasereal smart there kart kucks, I haven't even played either game since drrr came out
>>2045330>i enter threads just to announce how much i don't like what the thread is about!okay fag
>>2045047>So yeah, the game feels dead here in 4chanSome moved to DURR, other moved to Crossworlds, and more still are just waiting for blankart. Playerbase is pretty shattered. Blan test sessions get upwards of 20 people so there's still hope
>>2045047If you're looking to get people back in, just post that you're gonna join the serbian and update with player numbers so people know how many are in.Also there was that other server an anon posted and that one isn't on the server list yet so uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
>>2045592What's Blankart?
>>2046440srb2k updated to the RR codebase, along with a bunch of other optimizations/updates on the side.
>>2039990>>2040394Is it just me or is 2.4 WAY more abrasive in singleplayer GP?The CPU feels a lot more punishing overall and getting to emeralds at all is hell with the new exp system.Honestly I can't even tell if I like the physics changes yet, the game seems faster sure but more responsive? Idk about that.
>>2046662Some of the devs were vocally unhappy about how strong the bot nerfs were, and personally I agree. I also think it's reasonable to make emeralds harder to reach because the special stages being harder to get to makes it less likely for someone unprepared to get turbofiltered.>Honestly I can't even tell if I like the physics changes yet, the game seems faster sure but more responsive? Idk about that.The arc on Neutral Drift helps a lot, especially with heavyweights.
>>2046843>relaxed is too easy>intense is too sweatyIntense/gear 2 felt really good to me before and I still had vicious for a real difficulty bump, I don't see the reasoning for making the AI harder when the exp systems seems to be very punishing in the GP environment.If you get throttled early on in a track you now have to deal with much lower exp gains and restarting is a no-go because it is even more punishing for end point gain.Now if I do bad early in a race it feels so much more anxiety inducing when before all I needed to do was push the lead by the end like any other racing game. I get the "consistent" racer argument when it comes to checkpoints, but that shit is moot when the AI easily outpaces you on extremely winding courses. Even if can you overtake them all by the end you've still missed all of those precious checkpoint exp bonuses. And I can't even restart to try for a better race because of lives.>it's reasonable to make emeralds harder to reach because the special stages being harder to get to makes it less likely for someone unprepared to get turbofilteredAll that does is make them harder to learn and get better at, the more insurmountable you make reaching them the more annoying they'll be to actually complete when the emerald stages are an exercise in memorization anyway. So now you have >track exp>ring bonus>lives>dynamic adjusting AI>and the placement cutoffwhich ALL work against you for ranking and the simple CHANCE of ATTEMPTING emerald. It's genuinely too much shit if you ask me.
>>2046969>All that does is make them harder to learn and get better at,Driving skill literally directly translates into Sealed Star skill outside of like two of the stages. If you're not good enough to get into them, you're not good enough to consistently beat them.
>>2046975Sealed stars are so much more about item targeting/throws and knowing where the capsule will go while memorizing the gimmick layout of each course. For the record, I grinded out all of the emeralds on 2.3 using freaky build (so my save didn't transfer back over to 2.4). On 2.3's intense I would consistently be able to get into and practice emerald stages, it felt like a fine balance due to the difficulty of the stages themselves.In 2.4 actually reaching the stages is far more challenging than the emerald stages themselves since I have them memorized now. I'm definitely not a pro ring racist and play the game fairly casually, but I was good enough to get the master emeralds then while scoring well and I'm saying the 2.4 hikes in difficulty on the "medium" mode is going to turn off most intermediate players, simple as.I feel like the exp system was built to prevent multiplayer bagging first and then was stapled on poorly to singleplayer without a second thought.
>>2047003>Sealed stars are so much more about item targeting/throws and knowing where the capsule will go while memorizing the gimmick layout of each course. With 2.3 I'd agree, but in 2.4 you get Sonic Boom so much easier during the special stages that driving skill matters way more. 2.4 also encourages offensive item play way more with Amps, so getting Emerald requirements necessitates getting better with items either way.The only stages I think really fall into "memorization required" territory are Towers and Rooftops (and even then, Rooftops is only like that because of that stupid bit at the end, the rest is fine)>I feel like the exp system was built to prevent multiplayer bagging first and then was stapled on poorly to singleplayer without a second thought.Personally, it's felt way more forgiving than Lap Bonus, at least to me. Losing 5/20 lap bonus because you dropped to 4th on the third lap is way more punishing than losing somewhere around 10/150 EXP.
>>2047072I see what you mean with the booms and amps which I admittedly am still struggling to adapt to using.My main point really boils down to the GPs feeling far less predictable than emerald stages due to the CPU being inconsistent. I can brute force emerald stages through rote memorization and practice, whereas the GP itself can be a crapshoot to get to those if the CPU decides to pull out some ridiculous bs or rubberband like a motherfucker.Frankly I have zero issue with how the emerald stages were designed, it's making them harder to access that feels like a chore. On a sheer "fun" standpoint I preferred when the CPUs were a bit more tame overall. I have no issue admitting "skill issue", but to me I wish we had a Gear 2 difficulty that had AI more akin to 2.3 slotted between relaxed and what vicious currently is.I've had far more moments of being donked off into the abyss without a chance to recover on 2.4 than 2.3 due to CPU shenanigans, and with stun being implemented it feels way tougher to recover now.

Hosting a kart sess in "smashinarena.us" rn. ~8 players
It's over...
I'm thinking about getting into SRB2K or DRRR, has anything changed for either of them? Launch for DRRR was a mess with twenty nearly useless mechanics you had to memorize for the one use case per race that if you didn't remember would fuck you over. I liked the simplicity of SRB2K and am mostly hoping there's players left with good enough mods/track activity.
>>2056577DRRR added 500 more mechanics and tweaks on top since launch, and SRB2K has stagnated thanks to DRRR killing both communities.
>>2056618Are there any mods that simplify DRRR so it's not such a fucking mess?
For me, it's Cream

finally caught a wrongdrift on the input display.
>>2060625You play with an analog?
>>2060729yeah, only game that has this issue though and it's persisted through multiple controllers.
>>2060625AAIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE SAVE ME NIGGERMAN
>>2060730Does the game recognize the analog properly? If digital easing is on it might be the problem.

I have played 2.4 and I have no idea what the exp is even suppose to do. Its also virtually impossible to catch up to AI on some tracks now because they still take 180 turns perfectly without losing any speed except now single shoes are the only items available unless your in 8th place lap 3.Tested against AI at max on Dragonspire Sewer 2 and at level 7 and they were racing basically identica to how they do on max.
>>2065259the bots are still cheating barebones garbage that makes look mario kart bots like honest racing contenders
>>2065259EXP are the points you get through the checkpoints and finish line (every lap) which totals out of 100. The more you frontrun, the more EXP you get, which entitles you to power items if you get fucked over especially with max level bots as >>2065298 says. Dragonspire 2 is a dogshit map just like Roasted Ruins and Quartz Quadrant because of how the waypoints for bots, their long straightaway which their ridiculous tether can grab each other off of, and the narrowness of the tracks which any item hit interaction grants them generous amps and charge. You basically have to always play offensive and shit anyone for keeping in top half.Took me several tries to get 1st, but placed mostly 4th and 3rdhttps://litter.catbox.moe/cwoxzpku7oxi6iz6.webm
>>2064029hey so like that thread is locked but my group was trying to get the prox chat to work that someone mentioned in that thread. Did it work at all? For us it hardly works at all. We followed the steps to a T as well.
Is it time to kick bubblegum and chew ass?
>>2065259>I have played 2.4 and I have no idea what the exp is even suppose to doMain purposes:>low EXP locks you out of Garden Top/Shrink at low positions>high EXP gives you more offensive items once you start falling behind first (quad orbis, double jawz, etc)>low EXP/low position gives you roulettes weighted more towards boost (sneakers, large super ring stacks)>GP being scored through EXP actually makes races generally more forgiving since consistently staying in the top 1-3 positions will generally result in a higher average score even if you fall behind at the endAs for the bot difficulty, they're not too bad once you understand why they have the cheats they do. They can't drift and largely try to follow waypoints, so they're super predictable in their lines and vulnerable to trap items like landmine/toxomister/banana. The maps that they're the most fucked up on are the ones with a lot of straightaways and wide turns they can get through while hitting rings or boostpads near the center, which is why Zoned City makes them feel so much harder, as an example.
