The choice to have the levels be smaller and more bite sized makes sense. It's designed as a mobile game, so people will tend to play them for a few minutes at a time, it isn't really supposed to be played all the way through in one or two sittings. That's not really a negative or a positive, just a side effect of the platflorm tbh
@@SuperSireBoyYT Sonic 2 and 3 were made by STI in America but it was still the same development team as sonic 1, the name Sonic Team wasn't really used until nights was created. Also, Naoto Oshima, who designed Sonic, was a part of Sonic team and he was the director of Sonic CD , so it was still a Sonic Team game.
I think since Cream and Rouge haven't really been used in the games (particularly not as playable characters), the VAs might not be sure how to play them. It took Cindy a few tries to really nail Amy's voice, but now she's great.
@@stratospherica Rouge and Cream are the same VA's as generations, so this boils down to being a problem with how the voice director chose to make them sound Sega probably told them "Make Rouge less sexy and Cream more cutesy"
@@GlytchGames sure, but that was 12 years ago for Cream (I don't think she's had a speaking role in a game since?) and Rouge's last one was 4 years ago. It's not as if they've had much opportunity to get used to the voice, or tweak it like Cindy Robinson did for Amy.
@@stratospherica yeah that’s why I said creams actor may have just lost the original voice because her vocal chords have changed I’m just surprised they didn’t go with the voice actor from the M&S 2020 Olympic Games She voiced Tikal in adventure and Cream from the first time she appeared up to Shadow (2005) and Heroes
I just want to say I love the new intro animation for your videos Chaomix, and splitting everything into separate categories regarding Dream Team such as Gameplay, Stages, Animation, etc. 2023 definitely was the year of bringing back Sonic’s friends and long time no see for Cream since her last playable appearance in SA3, that’s Sonic Advance 3 lol and it’s also a poetic way to end off the 2023 Chinese New Year of it being the Year of the Rabbit 🐰
Personally, I adored this game. Like yes the game is short but I enjoyed this game so much. It’s just plain fun and I’m so excited for this game to get more and more updates. Also nice cut Chaomix you look great!
Honestly this feels like a beta test for updating the boost formula to the next level Also the cutscenes and models are top notch Really enjoyed this one
4:55 You should’ve mentioned it, (unless you do later in the video), but this game brings back how the light speed dash mechanic from Shadow the Hedgehog specifically. Where if you already preformed the move on a trail of rings, translucent ones take their place. Allowing you to light speed dash again.
While the voice acting may not be as good, Roger as Sonic, Mike as Eggman, and Colleen as Tails are always great. Knuckles is good too. I like Amy as well.
I think Heroes has some neat and balanced voice acting. My opinion might be biased since it’s my first sonic game (although, most of the voices in Sonic Adventure are pretty fitting and spot on too), but I think Cream’s voice in Heroes was the most fitting, considering her personality is kind of shy.
I’m not sure id say sonic dream teams is “adventure like” just because the boost button inherently changes how speed is achieved compared to the adventure games.
I think it’s closer to those games but it’s not good as Adventure 2, I haven’t played much of Adventure 1 cause I want to download with the Better DX + DreamCast convert mod which the Better DX also comes with. Adventure 2 is a better game in my opinion but I find it unfair to compare it to a mobile game.
I just wanted to say, I've been working on making a video for the past few hours and been binge-watching (listening) to a plethora of your videos throughout that duration. So, thank you for making a tedious process of creating scenes less painful.
Great review! I like that Sonic games appear to be going back in the direction of allowing us to play as other characters beside Sonic on their own. I've been wanting games where I can play as Knuckles for a few hours. Sadly I don't have an iphone to play Dream Team but this video was great for telling me everything I needed to know!
I thought it was decent/good, but at the end of the day it still is just a mobile game. They really need to fix the horizontal momentum on gliding and flying. Flying and gliding is fun in the Adventure games and even Sonic 06, but it feels like a chore in Dream Team. I do think the level design is built more for spindashing than boosting as well. That being said, it was so refreshing playing as Knuckles, Tails, and Rouge again.
I really like the level designs. It feels like they're tip toeing back into adventure era like games. With spindash being added to frontiers and the level design being more like A1 with multiple versions of the same stage for different characters for dream team is really nice. If only they could go back to unleashed art design. It felt like a perfect blend between cartoony and realistic.
Been playing it a bit and it’s pretty fun. I’ve been casting it to my tv and playing with a controller and that’s probably the best way to play it. Scrambled shores also has that one chill ass track that’s great. I think ariem’s name is a play on the term rem sleep
Sonic dream team in isolation is a simple but fun platform game, it’s art direction while very colourful seems a bit childish for my taste but it fits the theme the game was going for and the simplified controls take a while to get use to (not stomping after a homing attack chain feels so weird 😭) a bit overhyped by the fan base (like how is this comparable to frontiers ) but a solid side game on the go.
In the first clip you showed of Rouge’s voice, it sounded like normal Rouge. But when she said “Ariem cut him off from the Reverie!” she actually kinda sounded like Rouge’s original voice. Then later she sounds like Amy and then like a little old lady. lol I also am always baffled by how I think and say things that I don’t often hear other fans think or say but YOU, Chaomix, are like 95% me. There’s very few things I feel and think differently about. It’s scary. I want to do Sonic videos someday and I’m running out of ideas because you keep making the ones I’m thinking. LOL Now when I say it, all the fans will think I got it from you. But on the up side I can thank you and TailsTube for catching people up with things I talk about so it doesn’t sound like I’m just making it up.
this isn't a popular take but honestly if i were to judge it as an actual game and not a mobile game, dream team is really as middle of the road as you can get gameplay wise. most of it feels really samey and i feel like the level design while fairly branching has something of an overreliance on grind rails? it's a fun enough mobile game but really i don't understand the hype surrounding it whatsoever? idk, wasnt worth buying an apple tv for i'll tell you that much. 5 or 6/10.
I really wish they saved the Dream concept for a mainline Sonic title. It would be really cool to have Sonic race through everyones dreams/nightmares to save them Generations style, then they become playable and their abilities unlock more areas unreachable in other dreams. It would also flesh out the cast a bit, show what they like or fear in their respective dreams. And make sure Cream is still involved.
This game is such a treat in a packed year for Sonic. I hope Hardlight develops new Sonic games right alongside Sonic Team; Dream Team is that impressive!
So I noticed the Cream screeching thing too and it really threw me off, but after a while of listening I realized something- I think that noise is actually supposed to be CHEESE, not Cream. Which is... arguably even stranger.
Like Premydaremy said I hope whatever the next big Sonic game is could borrow some elements from Dream Team and perhaps get the Hardlight Team on board with development on a big budget Sonic Game, they have great potential seeing how well Sonic was animated in the game. Would love to see more from Hardlight.
I think Rouge is a generally enjoyable middle ground, she can be part of the team or not, she can act for her own interests but also out of legitimate affection or concern for other characters, I think she was like that since her first appearance in Adventure 2. I like that they are reincorporating her into Sonic media...It also helps that I think Knuckles and Rush are the best ship Sonic Team has going xD.
Sonic Dream Team was not developed by Sonic Team, so It doesn't make sense to say it's the first Sega and Sonic Team game to be fully 3D since Sonic 2006
I hate being that guy but how the hell does Sonic's budget work WHY DOES THE SPIN-OFF LOOK MORE POLISHED THAN THE MAIN GAMES WE'VE GOTTEN IN THE LAST 10 YEARS
I understand it's weird for some that Rouge is being placed with Sonic and crew, but I love that Rouge is getting more spotlight, her being my favorite female character. Lately, it seems like Sega has been pushing Rouge more into Sonic's group with the tv show and the idw comics.
Idk Shadow would been better He has an actual personality instead of just some sassy character made to people to simp on with no actual charisma and instead just a lustful who's greedy and steal gems
The Good: it’s a charming little spin off game with an immersive story, fun characters and a decent story. The Bad: it’s a fucking mobile game that u have to pay for after a months trial. But mostly because it’s a fucking mobile game. The Ugly: Rule 34 wasted no time with REM (Ariem)
I know that the 05 Sonic model is still used, but the dark blue color and the awesome cutscenes make it somewhat work. But they do need to make a new model from the ground up
I liked the game well enough but I kinda regret picking up that used Apple TV just to play it. I spent more time setting the damn thing up than actually playing it, but that's my fault for not using any existing Apple products. I liked it less than Frontiers and Superstars, and it was definitely overhyped by the fandom but that isn't the game's fault. I'd play it again if it ever got ported, but otherwise I feel like it just kinda came and went. Also the very ending where Ariem's fine and everyone gets to talk to her again kinda irked me. I feel like a more memorable game would have let the characters live with the sacrifice, like Chip or Cosmo.
i think scrambled showers does look pretty good actually,i just think the aesthetic of modern sonic should be an extension of classic sonic's so that level theme fits well with that,and i think it looks pretty good. and about it looking childish it's sonic the hedgehog,it isn't DMC5 so it can have more kidy fantastical looking environments,that never stopped classic sonic from doing it so why would it for modern?
I still don’t really think the models look all that bad. Would it be nice to maybe have some new designs? Sure, but I don’t think it should be anything drastically different. People love the Unleashed model for a reason, and I don’t think we should stray too far from it. However, man do I have to agree with your take on this game’s soundtrack. I remember hearing the main theme when the first trailer came out and I got so excited because I thought we were getting another Runners styled soundtrack, which I would have absolutely LOVED (I still hope we get another soundtrack like that in an actual mainline title someday). But what we got, while not bad, kinda fell a little short. There are some songs I definitely really enjoyed, but as a whole it definitely could have been a lot better. Overall, this is a fun little game that’s impressive as a mobile game, but kinda falls short as its own thing. If we take the best ideas from this game and the best ideas from Frontiers and implement them into a proper console release, I think we’ll be all set!
13:25 yeah Im with ya on this mostley Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails sound fine like the guys sound pretty alright but with the girls Rouge sounds so weird its so off and Cream to (but I'll give her actress some slack since she hasnt done cream in 12 years) gonna have to disagree on Amy I think she sounded alright (plus compared to the other girls she sounds better)
Whenever Sonic fans talk about physics, all they talk about is momentum and use the word momentum every time they're talking about another scientific property instead. "This game has momentum!" *is talking about GRAVITY*
how much money do you wanna bet that sega's gonna think the relatively low download count from being an apple arcade exclusive means that "people don't want fully 3d sonic games anymore"
I wonder why they keep putting in Rouge in Prime and Dream Team, when she isn't even part of Team Sonic. But I guess in this game, they're kinda the female versions of the main trio. Sonic/Amy is Speed, Tails/Cream is Flight, and Knuckles/Rouge is Glide
Back in the day we had something called team dark. A group rouge fit well in. But we don't have that anymore because the writers at sega thing shadow is an edgelord loner who doesn't have any friends. So now they just group rouge as "female knuckles" When she is way more than that. I miss team dark, I miss the shadow we had in 06. I miss the friend dynamic he had with rouge and omega and its a shame they ruined it all.
Yeah, I always viewed Team Dark as having a different demographic than Team Sonic and Team Rose. So putting Rouge's design next to them is kinda funny lol
@@jurassicarkjordanisgreat1778 Back in the day, Team Dark overshadowed her potential more than people realized, it's thanks to this formation she stopped being Knuckles' rival and instead all her abilities got reduced to her wings. I don't like her being Team Sonic fodder either, but Team Dark hasn't benefited her either beyond Heroes.
I feel like the sonic games & cast was blown out of proportion, especially with Knuckles’, Sonic’s and Rouge’s character development. Rouge was always on the “dark” side and always had an attitude. It’s weird to see her like this all of a sudden. I feel like things are starting to become too happy and bubbly (mainly to appeal to little kids, since the Sonic movies happened) but it’s honestly kinda weird, as an old fan. Sonic used to be a “too cool for you” typa guy, I dunno. Either way, the game is pretty cool without the context.
So many things I've been waiting for them to bring back for years, just for me to not be able to play this game on my phone or console 🙃 It's fine I haven't been waiting 20 whole years for Cream to be playable again, or 17 years for Rouge to be playable again 🙃 maybe I'll get another chance when I'm in my 40s 🙃
I love this game from what I've seen of it but I need to make this joke Hey Sonic, Klonoa called! He wants his original plot back (I know Nights beat Klonoa to it I think but still)
