The crossover characters and tracks are my least favourite factor about Sonic Racing: Crossworlds, an in any other case glorious kart racer that didn’t want a bunch of licensed partnerships to face out. That stated, it doesn’t shock me that the modding group has taken that idea and run with it. I do want somebody would add extra Sonic characters, comparable to Agent Stone from the live-action movies, but it surely looks like modders produce other concepts, like Jack Black’s Steve from the Minecraft movie. That is mainly my worst nightmare.
Steve, as he exists within the Minecraft video games, is already in Crossworlds as DLC, however now you possibly can play as his obnoxious movie counterpart. The “Jack Black Steve Collection” mod on GameBanana comes courtesy of person BROCHONKY, who has added two skins for Jack Black’s character to Crossworlds. One is a photoscanned motion determine that appears similar to the actor, whereas the opposite is a stylized model of the character that makes use of Minecraft‘s signature blocky fashion. As a bonus, the mod additionally contains the notorious Rooster Jockey because it seems within the authentic sport.
The mod doesn’t simply embrace skins, it additionally has voice strains and music from the movie. Black’s trademark hammed-up supply adopted him into Overworld, so the film has a number of soundbites that grew to become memes, comparable to when he broadcasts the Rooster Jockey’s arrival and says “flint and steel” whereas instructing the opposite characters to craft. All of this looks like the making of a troll character, however I additionally really feel like listening to these voice strains repeatedly throughout races would rot your individual mind, so that you reap what you sow.
Sega is seemingly cool with character mods, so Steve will stay to Rooster Jockey one other day. The corporate just lately banned cheaters who used mods to win races, however the firm’s End User License Agreement explicitly encourages inventive work like including new characters to their video games. If I see Jack Black Steve on the racetrack, I can be working him off a cliff expeditiously.
