Sweet, at least now I'm not risking wasting money to find out if my device can even run it.

All right, continuing on with Final Horizons. Got to the part in the story whee Amy, Knuckles, and Tails are getting cyber-corrupted. Got all their skills and levels maxed out, so now, it's a manner of reconciling Damn You, Muscle Memory! for me to really master the alternate gameplay.

That said, I can already tell I'd rather play Sonic and Tails. Tails straight-up kneecaps all platforming once you get the Cyclone, and Sonic is for sure the smoothest. I keep fighting the camera and the "stickiness" of climbable edifices with Knuckles, and his Glide sucks at turning. He's the least fun to play; at least Amy is Tails lite pre-Cyclone (except with a Homing Attack).

EDIT: Also, I see a lot of character icons on the map during the campaign. I definitely haven't interacted with them every chance. Are these Permanently Missable Content?

Those are like side stories from the main game. Once you clear the last tower and before the final boss, you are given the chance to switch out and play as any character you'd like, so you can grind out those interactions later.

Looks like Sonic Channel is going to keep the concept of teaming characters up for their monthly stories! (Probably didn't expect the positive reactions?)

For January 2024, it'll be Sonic and a choice between Tails, Jet, Merlina (yes, really), and a Moto Bug! We have until December 5th to vote!

I wanna see an Amy Shadow team up….cause Amy reminding Shadow of Maria is an interesting plot hook that hasn’t been properly utilized.

[up]I think I said it back in April, but there's a moment during Murder that I could absolutely understand if someone wanted to take it as Shipping Fuel.

[up][up][up][up]I did all those before getting to Sonic's section. I still need to do the trials. As for "before the final boss", is it like with the base game, where once you beat the final boss, your save file is set to immediately before you beat it? Like, if you beat the Final Horizons final boss, can you go back and play as the other characters?

I wish 100% the DLC character missions unlocked the ability to play that character on any island. But that would require giving Knuckles the actual ability to climb walls, instead of just special ones. I'm not a fan of how they handled it.

I'm mad Motobug is losing so badly.

I voted for Moto Bug too, and hoooooly crap is it getting destroyed in the polls. Like, damn. I was at least hoping it'd be doing comparably.

I always saw Crabmeat as the Goomba of the franchise even though Motobug is, I think cause in the Archie Sonic comics Crabmeat was Robotnik's main lackey for a bit.

I too instinctively voted Moto-Bug. But Merlina is good too.

Early Access: Early Sonic Dream Team gameplay

The characters have new models. They all emote way better than before, actual character animation is better as well...it's fluid and not stiff at all.

The characters' mouth (Sonic, Amy, Knuckles) even move from side to center depending on the expression.

—-

Cream's voice though...

Unfortunate.

To be fair, Michelle Ruff hadn't gotten to voice Cream for an entire decade. Literally, Michelle complained about not getting to record new lines for Cream since Generations earlier this year.

They could've certainly done more takes to get a better voice, but I'd say some slack should be cut here. Cream certainly sounds better than Rouge thus far...

[up][up]

Still in the middle of watching it, but hey, I'm just psyched to have voiced cutscenes. Wasn't expecting that since this is a mobile game. And look at that! Proper 3D platforming! (With some boosting!)

Geez, getting into Apple Arcade just got a lot more alluring...

[up] Oof, I read a blurb about that. Haven't heard Cream in Sonic Dream Team just yet, so I'll have to reserve judgment until then.

Cream here def sounds...younger than in previous appearances.

Oh well, we can rationalize that as All Just a Dream anyway given the game's premisetongue

Odd, I don't find anything wrong with her voice. But this is just me.

Rouge is, well, she wasnt Stellar. She is the one character I wish we got the actor from Prime.

It definitely feels like a case where the VA forgot the voice because it's been so long.

Rouge also sounds off from the clips I've seen, but I'm even less attached to the way she's sounded in the past decade.

KnownUnknown Since: Jan, 2001
#76499: Dec 3rd 2023 at 10:24:51 PM

Yeah, Rouge's voice hit me more than Cream's did. Rouge sounds a lot more like Amy all of a sudden.

Anywho, this looks absolutely fantastic. It reminds me a lot of Generations, except with more expansive, exploratory levels.

Rouge's voice first starts off kinda how I remember it from Forces, but it kinda goes higher after the second or third cutscene, which is a little bit jarring.

Cream though, I agree it being the one that took the biggest hit, since there's been a lot of years since Michelle Ruff's last did the role. Cindy Robinson's Amy is kinda a happy medium here, and I think one of my favorites, though I can't help but hear her Labrys from Persona 4 Arena.
