"Sonic Dream Team", a new sonic game for Apple Arcade coming Dec 5th, 2023



SEGA has released a brand new video today for a new title in their Sonic The Hedgehog franchise, titled "Sonic Dream Team".

The game is a full 3D platformer featuring Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Cream and Rouge, each one with their own unique abilities, throughout what seems to be dream-like stages, to save the world from Dr. Eggman and retrieve an ancient artifact that makes dreams come true. The trailer shows a few levels, with very vibrant and detailed stages, as well as unique enemies and bosses.

seems already like the most interesting sonic game besides sonic mania / sonic colours from the last 2 decades. propably will never play it because of apple arcade. rayman mini is stuck in that garbage service and some other titles.

If there was an architectural jump at some point, that was justifiable to lose compatibility.
Pretty sure that was the reason for it. Newer devices don't support the old 32 bit games, and even for older devices, compatibility was dropped in firmware from iOS 11...... Made it quite the trek to be able to play Monster Hunter Freedom Unite again lol

Who's playing on Apple Arcade fr ?

That's thing. Apple finances development of games to build an exclusive repertoire to attract people to subscribe.

Not only that. Back in the day at least, you're define a max version when publishing and app and you had to bump it with newer OS versions, that meant you needed to keep updating the app. There was also SDK changes that required you to do more than just bump the number to compile stuff.

Kinda reminds me of srb2, wonder if anyone at sega got inspiration from what is arguably one of the best sonic fangames out there.
Also the community already modded the base games in so many ways.
You can play as a multiplayers Persona like game or even as a kart racing game (SRB2K)

Tell me you did not read the article without telling me you did not read the article.
To be fair, everyone just jumped on the “Fuck Apple” bandwagon the second they entered this thread. I hate Apple but honestly the Anti-Apple crew are kind of annoying as fuck.
On the topic of the thread, I will probably check this game out when it comes out.

Touchscreen controls. Tap here and there, and move to the next part.

Touchscreen controls just suck for gaming.
Apple Arcade games are launched simultaneously for MacOS, tvOS and iOS. They typically support both controller inputs and touch inputs to accomodate the three systems (you can use controllers on iOS but most people don't use). That's not a thing inheritant to the game but a platform requirement.

It is with a proprietary adapter, but it does introduce some input lag from experience so I wouldn't recommend it. Not to mention how expensive that adapter is (like £60 to £80 last I checked? there might be third party ones though).

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
