Which Sony Mascots Could Engage In Adventure Racing Competition?

By Rob Sutter


For those who know about video games on a casual basis, you probably know about the classic characters which are seen on Nintendo consoles only. They are, after all, the ones which are best regarded, as they have been the ones around for many years. What about the ones that Sony has created through the lifespans of the PlayStation consoles? These particular entities deserve mention, even when it comes to talking about the ones best suited for adventure racing competition.

Sony has a cast of personalities which are some of the most entertaining that I've come across. It feels like all I have ever see, at each turn, are those which look like something out of Saturday morning cartoons. I like variety as much as the next person, though, so I can appreciate Sony's focus on featuring characters that look just like you and me. Having human characters only helps to give them more realistic identities, thereby able to appeal to a greater subsection of gamers.

While these characters may not be entirely realistic, I think that Cole MacGrath from "inFamous" and Nathan Drake from "Uncharted" deserve to be talked about. MacGrath could be either a hero or villain, depending on how you want to play the game, and Drake is a renowned treasure hunter who may be in too over his head at times. As a result, these characters are given personality traits that we could most likely attribute to others or ourselves. As a result, it's easier to become attached to the characters.

I think it's apparent that they would be able to hold their own in terms of adventure racing competition as well. I believe that these characters can move very fast and take on any obstacle, as "Uncharted" and "inFamous" has shown us in the past. These personalities understand their limitations but they are unafraid of pushing themselves so that they can become even better in the process. Such drive is something that can be attributed to immensely physical events along the lines of Spartan Race.

It's clear that characters from Nintendo have gained much attention, but I can't help but feel like the ones from Sony have received very little. This is something that makes me shake my head because I can't help but feel like these personalities have their own sense of appeal. They work to tailor to the real-life capabilities of people as well as their limits. The rise and fall is something that should be seen in heroes because it makes them that much more likable.
