Once again, a Hololive talent has contributed a comic to the Fast Friends Forever campaign.

This time, it's from the Sonic ambassador herself, Korone!

Man, it sucks that Dream Team is so exclusive because it's looking fantastic.

The music deserves a mention. Imo, the various Scrambled Shores theme are way better throwbacks to that "SEGA in the 90's" pop/funk sound than anything in Superstars, which was actually trying to capture that. (Though admittedly, what it reminds me most isn't SEGA exactly, but stuff like Jazz Jackrabbit and Megaman).

Also, Scrambled Shores is maybe my favorite Sonic first level design in a while. A beach level crossed with a bounce house carnival? Super creative.

You're spot on about the bounce house aspect. I'm watching an early LP of the game (because I'm a filthy PC peasant), and it turns out the Giant Enemy Crab boss is also an inflatable, like Mr. Patch.

I’ll attribute the offness of Rouge and Cream to rust….from not reprising the role in such a long time.

That being said, Faye Mata would not be a bad successor to Rouge and Xanthe Huyngh would make an excellent Vanilla (or even Cream).

Forces wasn't that long ago.

She just sounds..."not the same" here.

... are the characters' legs longer in this game than usual, or is it just me. Like, I first noticed it with Tails, and really noticed it with Rouge. Rouge looks like she's walking on stilts.

Yeah, they are. Well, Sonic's back where was in Unleashed.

They all got new models and it's grand.

Usually in 3D Sonic, the knee is closer to the sock than hip, but here it's halfway between the hip and sock.

Dream Team feels surprisingly good to play for a mobile game. Just use an actual controller if you have one that can connect to an apple device.

I got an Apple TV just to play this game (someone was selling it relatively cheap) and doggone it was fun. I'm having a lot of fun with this.

Honestly, if you stretch it back to Generations, the only skid has been Forces. The games have been consistent for a while.

And even Forces wasn't as bad as people made it out to be, just undercooked.

I'd say Lost World was also a hiccup, at least as far as reception goes.

Not to mention Rise of Lyric also exists in that timeframe.

I can't blame people for memory-holing Rise of Lyric but it should still be casting a long shadow over the franchise reminding us Sega can still publish something as bad as 2006 at any time.

You are not alone.

Even before Frontiers' release, I've been saying that the franchise has released more good games than bad for the last few years (part of that was me defending Forces a bit hard), and that people gotta let 06 go. It's annoying to see it still get referenced in reviews to this day.

When you release a game as bad as 2006 (And then another one as bad awhile later) you deserve to have that hanging over your head TBH. That's on Sega.

There where kids that spent their birthday money on that game. There where kids who played it as their first PS 3 generation game. Remember the cruelty inflicted on their innocence!

And "More good games than bad" isn't something that's anywhere near a gold standard. tongue

It's important to celebrate the good and condemn the bad both, and right now though it looks like we have a winner. I can't wait to play Dream Team when I eventually get my hands on it after Apple releases it from ther clutches.

You are not alone.

On the flipside, the horrible licensed game of Rise of Lyric gave us one of the best bits of Sonic non-gaming media, so silver linings and all that.

I just don't see how it helps anything to hold on to negativity and remind people of it frequently when it's not relevant, just because it happened before.

That'd be like (Fire Emblem Three Houses spoilers for VW/SS): Dimitri's forces attacking Claude's troops while pursuing a retreating Edelgard, specifically over Duscur and nothing else.
