@LoboStudiosOfficial55 No, when you think about it they don't. Long quills don't do anything except wave a bit in the wind or when Sonic turns. That's not expression, that's physics lmao.
Same. I really hope that it comes to consoles (or at least escapes the apple arcade jail) some time in the future. Preferably while it's still relevant.
I also wanted it to be for Android, in any case it is the community that certainly suffered the most after seeing that the game would be exclusive to Apple arcade
You can play it on computer It just has to be an Apple computer And it can also be played with a controller Though this definitely would be one of the best console sonic games
No kidding. This may be the best Sonic has looked in a long time. He’s got the expressiveness of Sonic Prime, the voice of Sonic Frontiers, and FINALLY THEY FIXED MY BOY’S QUILLS!! They were WAY too short in Frontiers, which was my main critique of that game.
Dude, I would love a mainline sonic game with this team involved for all consoles. This animation and art style is so nice. It has the potential to be comedic but serious when needed.
Amy is the first character you release in Sonic Frontiers, her character level comes before Tails and Knuckles in Sonic Superstars, now she's the first character in that gets saved in this game. With her inclusion in Origins and she seems to get a lot a screen time in Prime, Amy has been getting a lot of love lately. Also, is Roger keeping the deeper voice for Sonic now? I thought that was just gonna be a Frontiers thing.
I thinks it’s more of Apple Arcade got them to make a sonic game for the service. I don’t think they just made the game and decide to just put it on Apple Arcade, I think it was made specifically for it
People don’t understand how powerful phones are nowadays. The latest iPhones are more powerful than a Nintendo Switch. This doesn’t surprise me. The next Nintendo console should be more powerful, but trust me, Apple and Android put out some absolute units of cell phones!
Okay, no, I refuse to believe this is a mobile game. This seriously needs a console release. Those animations are freaking smooth! Also, the cute reference to Frontiers at first is just simply amazing ❤
The expressiveness in that first full motion cutscene genuinely made my jaw drop. If the next mainline game really is getting a bigger budget they better be animating these cartoon animals more like CARTOON animals.
@@rickyrackey7930Cream as well, considering how long we haven't had her take a role in a brand new game in *years...* I think her best voice performance was back in Generations, her new voice actress sounds... eeeh? it's fine, but personally, could be a tiny bit better i feel like.
@@AltKaxREAL I think for this new era of Sonic, it’s time for a new and fresh cast if Sega is ready. Faye Mata-Cream Ray Chase-Espio Cherami Leign-Rouge Kaiji Tang-Shadow
This game looks freakin awesome, so sad it's Apple Arcade exclusive for now but also hopeful it'll be ported to other platforms! It just looks like so much fun exploring these more open-ended levels. But those new voices...Cream's isn't awful, but sounds less like an innocent child and more like a mom talking down to one. Rouge, though...it's just awful. She straight up sounds like Minnie Mouse like Amy did when her new actress first started, but now it's even less fitting for the kind of character she is. I mean, she even just got a new voice in Prime that, while I didn't think it was amazing, was still a better fit for her than this one is. Hope that if she's permanent she'll improve and lean more comfortably into her role like with Amy and the rest of the cast.
I agree, I know many people hated Rouge's 4kids voice, but I think it fitted her personality more. After all, she is one of the few characters who is an adult. There needs to be a balance between giving her a deeper pitch voice that isn't too sexualized
@@fabianugalde3789 Exactly, that's something I felt Prime actually did well. They toned down her sexualized look and voice and leaned into the spy/leadership aspect of her more. Again, I think her voice was a bit generic, but not bad and a much better fit than this one.
Well we have a problem Apple won't let Sega do that Apple want to keep it under platform so Apple can make more money and also the funded the game That's probably not going to happen anytime soon and they don't care what we want Apple is a billion dollar company they can do whatever they want because Apple funded the game because Apple funded the game.
Whoaaaaaaa maybe it’s just me but this has the dna of a GameCube/PS2 platformer...just more modern. Congrats of Hardlight for finally making a full blown sonic game I never thought I’d be this nostalgic for billy Hatcher...
I can't help but feel that Cream being integral to this game's story is Sega/Sonic Team's response to the fandom complaining about her lack of involvement since Generations. Not that I think that's bad; it's just an observation.
The name Ariem being an anagram (I think that’s the right word) for REM sleep is an amazing detail. For those who don’t know, you dream during REM sleep
Apple is like tons more richer than Sega, and they funded this game so that’s why it’s mobile. But damn, this shit looks better than any Switch game lmao
Wow. A LOT to take in here, i'll wait till I play it myself to talk on gameplay. But oh MAN the character animation is SUPER good! Hardlight is cooking.
This game looks absolutely sick. It’s a bummer that it’s an apple play exclusive. This would definitely sell well on console. I will say the new voices for Rouge and Cream threw me off 😂
I'm pretty sure they've had these voices since Generations, if not earlier, though Cream's performance this time around feels a bit.. forced, which is a shame.
@@Chibi_Rikka Going off the Sonic Wiki, Karen Strassman is the VA for Rouge, has been voicing her since 2010, So since Sonic Free Riders. She sounds way different then she did back then, same can be said for Rogers Sonic. It could be on the new voice direction that they are going for? Nonetheless, Creams VA is still up in the air, she hasn’t been in a game title for awhile, so it’s possible she’s been recasted, but who knows.
My god...the fact that theres this much effort being put into the animation quality for a mobile game is mind-boggling. I love almost everything about this except for rouges voice. Like, isnt she supposed to have a soothing, flirty but mature voice? As fpr creams voice its....oookaaay???? It goes up a down WAYYY too much. So much so that it sounds like her voice is constantly cracking.
This is exactly what I expected when lost world came out. More 3D obstacle course like levels that takes advantage of wall climbing and wacky leves and bosses. Really hyped for this one. Love the animations, in game cutscenes, voices, and artstyle. My only nitpick is the UI but makes sense for a mobile platform but hey I can play this anywhere
well they're certainly staying true to their goal of improving the animation and presentation of Sonic. This is probably the best they've been animated outside of Boom.
@@hover8642 I found this on the website Gamerant: “As a canon entry with Ian Flynn on the writing team, Sonic Dream Team is an exciting prospect for many”
Dang, it's like Sonic Adventure, Unleashed and Frontiers, with a touch of Lost World due to most of the classic elements, combined in one game. Not really bad, but it's amazing for a game exclusive for Apple Arcade; also, I am glad that Sonic's design uses his appearance from Unleashed (I prefer this design more than Forces and Frontiers)
Oh, so just in the first moments of sonic waking up, i saw how polished the animation was. Im just happy to say, Sega really did a great job with this game. I know its seems rather limited in where it can be played, but its still awesome to see sega doing their best!! I grew up playing sonic, so it makes me happy to see our blue hedgehog and his friends get some great treatment. I hope they can translate this type of animations and gameplay to newer titles.
17:13 This looks so gooood! The animations are making me sweat joyfully 🥴. The music sounds bomb; familiar, yet unique, and the stages encourage you to use your whole moveset.

I am so glad for Cream the Rabbit being a part of this Brand Newest Sonic game from the Apple Arcade, *Sonic Dream Team!* I Absolutely missed her SO much from *Sonic Advance 2 & 3, Sonic Battle, Sonic Heroes, Sonic Riders, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity & Sonic Free Riders and Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood* games!

GOOD. it reminds me of rise of lyric (edit: and prime!) in the best ways, the animation in that game was super expressive n that was like the best thing about that game. theyre doin some squash n stretch, using the characters' eyebrows to emote, having some sutble little expressions, letting sonic's mouth move across his muzzle instead of forcibly leaving it at the side - theyre actually expressing like cartoon characters!!! cannot stop replaying that intro scene at 3:53 and the pre-bossfight cutscene at 29:42 like my jaw DROPPED. i can only imagine what couldve been if this game had fully animated cutscenes. shoutouts sega hardlight for hearing our prayers oh my GOD
Well it's on apple arcade, so it most likely has an exclusivity clause in the contract. So i'd say the PC release will happen next year at the earliest.
Rouge seems to still be Karen Strassman. Cream sounds like Michelle Ruff did in Generations, and I want to say Ariem is Grey DeLisle? Or at least someone very similar.
Okay first impressions wow I did not expect to see the Boost formula again but then again this is probably been in the works for awhile and it looks like hard light has been experimenting with big sandbox Style stuff and also you can move the camera too and wow it's been a hot minute since we heard the voices of cream and Rouge I really need to get used to Rouge new voice because wow I forgot how different it was compared to her other voices and cream it looks like they turn up the sugary sweetness to 11 But anyway this game looks great and hopefully I will get to play as soon as I can
Y'know. MAJOR Missed oppritunity for NiGHTS from nights into dreams to make a comeback in this game. Due to it being based on y'know, **Dreams** and taking place in a **Dream.** it was so obvious Sega why didnt you do that? Heck! They made NiGHTS into a robot in Sonic Superstars! So why not!
Broooooooooooo, the CGI animated cutscenes look as clean as Sonic Prime's animation! If these are cutscenes that are in the same engine as the game, then that means that the Sonic Forces cutscenes are now just the laughing stock of Sonic animation and that Sonic Dream Team's animation did better at adding in-game engine cutscenes than Sonic Forces did (this is true, Sonic Forces' cutscenes were animated in its game engine, the Havok Engine and Hedgehog Engine 2/Hedgehog 2) Also, Roger is back at it again with voicing the Blue Blur LESSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
jumpscared by getting a new voice for rouge and cream lol. when was the last time cream even had voiced lines? over 10 years ago?? also the animations on that crab boss fight were so fun. such personality!

Rouge seems to still be Karen Strassman. Cream sounds like Michelle Ruff did in Generations, and I want to say Ariem is Grey DeLisle? Or at least someone very similar.
she does sound familiar, but the info is classified atm
@@liamclarke91is it just me or does rouge sound kind of jarring
Looks really good honestly. Here's waiting for the console release..
Okay first impressions wow I did not expect to see the Boost formula again but then again this is probably been in the works for awhile and it looks like hard light has been experimenting with big sandbox Style stuff and also you can move the camera too and wow it's been a hot minute since we heard the voices of cream and Rouge I really need to get used to Rouge new voice because wow I forgot how different it was compared to her other voices and cream it looks like they turn up the sugary sweetness to 11
But anyway this game looks great and hopefully I will get to play as soon as I can
If this ever comes to consoles at some point you already know I’m instantly buying it
Why do I get the feeling that Ari will be the final boss?
Yea I have a feeling she'll be the main antagonist.
Maybe
If that's the case, we can blame Eggman since he's the the one who angered her in the first place. XD
@@ARTSONICFAN990 why is that?
2:17 to 2:43
This may give you a clue of what I mean.
Holy crap that animation looks incredible 3:56
This is officially the best mobile sonic game of all time. Ashame I'm not paying 10 dollars for Apple Arcade tho.
The boss fight is hilarious, I never thought the game would go with silly ideas but they work so well here? ✨
Can’t believe the animation quality looks so good, even for a mobile game.
Sonic Frontiers really enabled a lot for the franchise. Cyberspaces were fine but this is just amazing and impressive, and its a mobile release!
Damn, the characters are awfully expressive for an Apple Arcade exclusive game 😂. I’d love to see more gameplay footage from you my guy 😂
i can't believe the model looks so good and the long quill sonic is back 😭
Okay, this game is actually very great!
Their voices sound so good! And the jokes are decent too! This game is PERFECT.
Cream's new voice sounds nice, I guess, and Rouge's voice is actually pretty good. Other than that, I'm glad Cream is finally in Sonic games now.
Pretty sure Cream is still voiced by Michelle Ruff.
@@naturalace5375 Yeah, probably. It still doesn't change the fact that Cream sounds slightly different, though. Lol.
It's hilarious how this story is so much easier to care about than Frontiers', and that’s coming from someone who kinda liked that game
Y'know. MAJOR Missed oppritunity for NiGHTS from nights into dreams to make a comeback in this game. Due to it being based on y'know, **Dreams** and taking place in a **Dream.** it was so obvious Sega why didnt you do that? Heck! They made NiGHTS into a robot in Sonic Superstars! So why not!
Dude, that's so cool! SEGA, PUT IT ON CONSOLES DAMMIT!!!!!!
Broooooooooooo, the CGI animated cutscenes look as clean as Sonic Prime's animation! If these are cutscenes that are in the same engine as the game, then that means that the Sonic Forces cutscenes are now just the laughing stock of Sonic animation and that Sonic Dream Team's animation did better at adding in-game engine cutscenes than Sonic Forces did (this is true, Sonic Forces' cutscenes were animated in its game engine, the Havok Engine and Hedgehog Engine 2/Hedgehog 2)
Also, Roger is back at it again with voicing the Blue Blur LESSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Not even close to Prime animation quality, but still very good for a mobile game!
Well highlight has been doing a great job with character animations I mean they worked on Sonic Dash of course know what they're going to do
This game doesn't have moving cutscenes lol
That is DEFINITELY Michelle Ruff as Cream again, glad to hear back!
Hey. Rouge is pure hearted... Sometimes.
They been showing her more with the good guys, she may be a thief but she's not a "bad guy"
Anti-hero for sure
@@Mariocat99 she got bored Hanging out with shadow, so why not hang out with adventure nerds
I hope we get open zones that are a bit more like this in the next main line game this looks really fun with tons of exploration.
Sonic voice is still deep like in sonic frontiers, and i love it
I got so confused when I heard creams voice so High pitched, I’m used to hearing her Sonic X voice 🥺
For the past ten years, Hardlight was known for "mobile sonic", but this is a massive feat in mobile gaming
29:22 who wrote this line
jumpscared by getting a new voice for rouge and cream lol. when was the last time cream even had voiced lines? over 10 years ago?? also the animations on that crab boss fight were so fun. such personality!
