Yo it’s the Overdrive dev himself. Thank you so much for showcasing my creation, it’s a old demo build but I didn’t want it to go to waste. The engine was just rebuilt from the ground up with a fresh new coat of paint so you’ll have to wait a bit longer for the full chapter 1 experience!
Roblox released Sonic Expedition, then Dreams answers with Sonic Overdrive. Both epic in their own ways. I really enjoy the trick system, wall running, and mach speed in this. They did a fantastic job!
Overdrive has been in dev for a while. We are eating good this year. Sonic Expedition is released, Sonic Overdrive gets an update and Fallen Star’s sequel gets announced!
I honestly frigging LOVE the voice they're using for Sonic here. He sounds like an actual teenager! As a lifelong fan of the franchise, I remember when Classic Sonic ACTUALLY HAD A VOICE. I grew up with Jaleel White's Sonic and the nasally, semi-British OVA voice, so to hear Sonic voiced by a youngster again is weirdly satisfying. Although the deeper, more "surfer-dude"-esque Modern Sonic voice matches the current version of the character pretty well, SEGA seems to have forgotten that it's possible to have a more nuanced take on Classic Sonic's personality than "like Modern Sonic except he never talks." To me, Classic Sonic should be a snarky bad boy while Modern is more centered and heroic. The OVA started with Sonic refusing to help Tails because he didn't feel like being bothered, while Modern is so aggressively nice he wouldn't even have to be asked in the first place. I dunno, just my 2 cents. Anyway, this game looks amazing.
Man I really like that Sonic model. Generation Classic Sonic is good but this one is COOL and AMAZING. It has an edge and adventorous style and it looks much more to a "Sonic but when he was younger". CD Sonic will always be my favorite Classic Sonic design and seeing this makes me more happy
Holy shit, this looks amazing, 10/10 and I mean that! The level design made for the free-flowing moveset, the aesthetic, everything. This is a perfect Sonic game.
The first stage is a Sonic OVA South Island remix, the jumping sound fx are also from the OVA, the running animations, the stage design 😭😭😭😭 I'm in tears what a beautiful game what beautiful passion 😭😭😭😭
Hey guys, Sonic VA here. Hope you all enjoy Overdrive. It's been in the making for quite a while. Get Hyped! Also for those who don't like the direction that Tails voice is going, blame it on me, I told him to do it and Demigod liked the takes. They sound good to me still, but to each their own.
I much prefer a sassier Tails to the toddler-sound he is so often depicted with in older games. Given that Tails is generally Sonic's kid brother, I just find it much more fitting and less generic (and perhaps being someone with a younger brother, influences my opinion on it somewhat). And Sonic sounds even more perfect. Good job!
I played this myself and...wow..just wow. From the first overdrive to this, massive upgrade. This has to be one of the best sonic projects on Dreams ps4/ps5. This was a lot of fun to play
I dont say this often, but you guys NAILED THIS GAME GENRA! Its been a very VERY long time since i seen a fan made creation like this capture the original essence of what Sonic has always been about. Thank you to the team who put this together. You guys should be stupid proud of yourselves.
This is just beautiful. The after images are a GENIUS touch...it really gives the feeling that he's going fast!! Which is the only thing a sonic game needs idky sonic team can't get a grasp on that
Dynamic soundtrack. Do the actual sonic games do that? I know they do that muffled effect when he boosts but I don't remember the song changing the way it does in this game.
This game looks stunning (especially Leaf Prelude's OST giving me "Up and Down and All Around" vibes)! Props to the devs and the VAs who made such a cool looking game possible!
Solid 9/10. I love dynamic flair and visuals as much as anyone, but there's something to be said for the peaks and valleys in an experience. Some subtlety would make the highlights pop more than just constant everything over-the top.
In my honest, most HUMBLE opinion: if the mad man that made this game makes more levels of various themes and level-designs AND keeps up this mid-game normal conversation dialogue. This will be THE BEST SONIC GAME EVER.
I like the inspiration of sonic ova in the music and his voice and a lot of things overall his voice is also a hit of adventures of sonic the hedgehog the game’s amazing ❤
Yo! This fangame is awesome! Leaf Paradise and its theme is already my favorite in the game now! Love that it’s a Japanese themed zone with Japanese arches, cherry blossom trees, waterfalls, mountains that remind me of Mount Fuji, trees grasses and everything else that’s based off of in Japan, including the culture too! Last time I’m going to say this, but my fangame will focus on a lot of those kind of levels from two of the 15 zones in it, as well as having Japanese koto and Japanese music with a whole lot of Japanese string instruments in the themes for a lot of those levels, in those 2 zones!
I love how Sonic and Tails are characterized here. With tails being a little more cocky than usual, probably due to Sonic's influence. and Sonic being a bit more relaxed, probs cause he's older.
Tails sounds more like an English dub for an old Sonic cartoon of, but Sonic sounds like an old Sonic game, but for the PS, the Sonic voice, I really like is, I think it works better than Roger, but because of the acting I would want Roger over this voice, give this person some time, and I think he could make an amazing Sonic
This and sonic utopia capture what I think Sonic should strive to be. Classic sonic level design is charming, but I can just never get behind its stop-and-go nature. Let the other platformers do that. In my opinion, Sonic's level design should prioritize constant, fluid speed and transferring of momentum. Wide, sprawling levels seem to foster this so well. Avoiding abrupt 90 degree turns and stiff, rigid movement mechanics is a win in my book. I also think bringing back a mechanic like drifting would allow for sharper turns to still work in this formula. Keep up the good work though!
Feels like a mix of Sonic Utopia and Green Hill Paradise Act 2. Hehe. I hope Sega finally considers trying out this kind of gameplay. Boosting by building up/maintaining enough speed feels more satisfying than button-press boosting.
OH MY GOD it uses the song! The song! The forgotten OVA song! AND THEN THE TEST STAGE HAS HIM WEARING THE FORGOTTEN OUTFIT I'm gonna die of nostalgia. 11/10, Sega HIRE THESE PEOPLE.
If Sonic and Mario Fans were to have a competition on who can make the better fan games, then Sonic Fans would easily win for an obvious, yet underwhelming and sad reason.
If classic sonic had a 3D game, this would be that game, a fully 3D game straight out of the sonic CD intro with parkour mechanics and focus on momentum
THIS LOOKS SMEXY!!!!!!!!! THIS IS WHAT SONIC NEEDS, A COMPLETELY NEW SET OF ANIMATIONS. Its time to gear away from the "modern" sonic dating back to Sonic unleashed.
I think if you show this game to a person who does not know about Sonic games, and then say that it was done by a FAN, then I think it will be stunning for him
Just saying that this is the reason why people didn't like 'Santiago' wayback when. Between this and games like Mania, there's a heart and soul that Sonic's always had, even at his most vintage aesthetics.
Like watching the CD opening fully rendered Its got a few elements from Adventure that I don't like, but it stands to reason that people gravitate toward whats been built I notice that this format does what most 3D sonics shy away from: shifts in perspective If people were to put their heads together and allow players to explore speed dynamics through a series of event driven trials, we'd have a game on our hands We tend to confuse the objective of top speed with the core purpose of fast pace. Its actually how we handle timing in accordance to fast approaching events. You can't know how you would react to contingency without first understanding the fundamentals of velocity To have a game would be to go from intermediate to advanced trials that test player awareness. We can then accept crushing difficulty at high levels knowing that we overcame the basics in every aspect of fast pace. Obviously it would be hand holdy at first. Thats what green hills was before the meme

Even better?!!!!
Do you know the name of the music, from the opening and credit?
This looks really impressive! It’s almost impossible to tell this was made in Dreams. Excellent job.
Dude, for a DEMO this stuff looks FIRE. If I get a PS4 or 5 in the future, I'm getting dreams and playing this.
Holy smokes, I can't even imagine how good the next build will be!

You don't understand Sonic Frontiers then kid
@@lazyvoid7107
Bro just said he grew up with Jaleel White Sonic and you're out here calling him a kid, what are you 50?
2:16 That specific part of the South Island theme playing as you're running across the waterfall and over the body of water below. Just beautiful
Man I really like that Sonic model. Generation Classic Sonic is good but this one is COOL and AMAZING. It has an edge and adventorous style and it looks much more to a "Sonic but when he was younger".
CD Sonic will always be my favorite Classic Sonic design and seeing this makes me more happy
I absolutely love how sonic's quills mov.
7 months late but there’s a special name for it than “CD sonic” you can call it Junio sonic.
@@Stickboy321Go true.
Generations Classic Sonic was never good.
Sonic: *puts hair dryer to his head* This sure is quite *mind blowing*
Holy shit, this looks amazing, 10/10 and I mean that!

When can we all play!!!!
The first stage is a Sonic OVA South Island remix, the jumping sound fx are also from the OVA, the running animations, the stage design 😭😭😭😭 I'm in tears what a beautiful game what beautiful passion 😭😭😭😭
the music originated from the 1996 sonic movie. strongly recommend if you haven't seen it! good action :D

Yoooo!!! My menu theme in a fan game!!! This was an awesome surprise. Great stuff!! 🤟🏾
I really like it when Classic Sonic has a voice actor based on his Ova voice
This is OUTSTANDING holy shit
This experience was gotta be epic about mind-blowing!
Love all the effort put in!! not the biggest fan of the voices but i know you cant compare this to the sega made games you guys did amazing
Hey guys, Sonic VA here. Hope you all enjoy Overdrive. It's been in the making for quite a while. Get Hyped!

They sound good to me still, but to each their own.
Tails sounds surprisingly good. Noice job.
You did a great job! Your voice is like a mix of SATAM, OVA and CD voices which I think is very fitting for a classic/junio style sonic.
I much prefer a sassier Tails to the toddler-sound he is so often depicted with in older games. Given that Tails is generally Sonic's kid brother, I just find it much more fitting and less generic (and perhaps being someone with a younger brother, influences my opinion on it somewhat). And Sonic sounds even more perfect. Good job!
"Hey Corey, Knuckles here."
Your VA needs work.
Imagine if someone created levels based on the Sonic OVA, with the now released Sonic OVA OST!!!!!!
I played this myself and...wow..just wow. From the first overdrive to this, massive upgrade. This has to be one of the best sonic projects on Dreams ps4/ps5. This was a lot of fun to play
This is Fantastic This experience was gotta be epic about mind blowing!
The level design reminds me so much of Generations with all the branching paths and the levels that cater to Sonic's speed.
This is amazing!

Overtime kicking it into maximum *Overdrive!*

So happy somebody’s covering this game!
First track is a remix of South Island & it slaps
This game looks stunning (especially Leaf Prelude's OST giving me "Up and Down and All Around" vibes)! Props to the devs and the VAs who made such a cool looking game possible!
Solid 9/10.
I love dynamic flair and visuals as much as anyone, but there's something to be said for the peaks and valleys in an experience. Some subtlety would make the highlights pop more than just constant everything over-the top.
Sonic Fanmade Level design is getting better and better. I love it!
Super cool!! Looking forward to seeing this develop!
This is amazing, I love that it captures classic sonics design, this games really needs more support to make better improvements!!!
2:40 crisp trick combo is crisp 👌😩
Amazing gameplay. I love the voice acting too.
This feels like classic sonic in the modern style if you know what I mean
i really like this one a lot it really fives off the classic sonic vibe especially when u to the jump thing it says jammin like from the comics
I love Sonic’s voice. He should be official
I just love the fact that I can count the amount of fan games that vastly more fun than official new Sonic games that are released
In my honest, most HUMBLE opinion: if the mad man that made this game makes more levels of various themes and level-designs AND keeps up this mid-game normal conversation dialogue. This will be THE BEST SONIC GAME EVER.
Everything about this project is stunning!!
Also any details on the soundtrack for the test zone? Really nice to listen to
This felt just like the OVA. Character designs, voices and even sound effects. This is cool!
SHUDDUP TAILS!
This just popped into my recommendations and all i can say is WHY HAVEN'T I SEEN THIS SOONER!
This is insane!!! Thank you!
I like the inspiration of sonic ova in the music and his voice and a lot of things overall his voice is also a hit of adventures of sonic the hedgehog the game’s amazing ❤

This environment and wold feels more alive than the entirety of frontiers imo
Nice to see backgrounds not loading and popping up randomly
Really impressive, great job.
I’m definitely gonna download dreams now
best jumping sound effect in the sonic series. Love it from the ova and CD.
This is easily the best combination of sonic in oficial animations and games, just perfect.💯💙❤
I love how Sonic and Tails are characterized here. With tails being a little more cocky than usual, probably due to Sonic's influence. and Sonic being a bit more relaxed, probs cause he's older.
People on Dreams sure make amazing games, I will definitely check this out!!!!
Tails sounds more like an English dub for an old Sonic cartoon of, but Sonic sounds like an old Sonic game, but for the PS,
the Sonic voice, I really like is, I think it works better than Roger, but because of the acting I would want Roger over this voice, give this person some time, and I think he could make an amazing Sonic

Both:
Menu - 00:00
&
Credits - 06:07,
I would like to know , what is the name of the song?
@sonicovertime Do you know?
This looks Incredible
No one might have noticed, but I am so glad OST South Island from sonic OVA is getting more attention
Feels like a mix of Sonic Utopia and Green Hill Paradise Act 2. Hehe.
I hope Sega finally considers trying out this kind of gameplay. Boosting by building up/maintaining enough speed feels more satisfying than button-press boosting.
Nice choosing the theme from the movie
This looks amazing
Sonic fans games is the only reason I bought Dreams when I saw it on sale at a point, most likely will be checking this out when I have time.
OH MY GOD it uses the song! The song! The forgotten OVA song!
AND THEN THE TEST STAGE HAS HIM WEARING THE FORGOTTEN OUTFIT I'm gonna die of nostalgia.
11/10, Sega HIRE THESE PEOPLE.
This seems really cool.
We love a sonic ova appreciator
sick! need to complete.thats the thing
EXTREME TIGHT JAMMIN RADICAL...hahaha WHAT DAFUQ?????
Damn, all this on Dreams? Crazy impressive.
The stuff you can do on it is insane, too bad the company behind it pretty much abandoned it.
Okay yeah, glad this wasn't clickbait. Solid stuff for certain.
*Epic!!*
this is what sonic should be in the modern age
Does anyone know the test zone music? I feel like I’ve heard it before somewhere but I can’t put my finger on it
It’s a great track but for the life of me I can’t find it
sonic ova
What's the music that plays during Test Zone?
I'm hoping more people can play this now since dreams was on plus
I thought the voices sounded familiar
If Sonic and Mario Fans were to have a competition on who can make the better fan games, then Sonic Fans would easily win for an obvious, yet underwhelming and sad reason.
Mainly cuz Nintendo doesn’t allow any fan games tbh
Bro I swear roblox is kinda nailing these banger games don't you think sonic overtime
This one is Dreams on PS5, but yes both have had bangers lately.
The south island theme suits so well bro
it looks awesome, i didnt realized it looked so amazing because my settings were auto 480p i turned it to 2160p60
If classic sonic had a 3D game, this would be that game, a fully 3D game straight out of the sonic CD intro with parkour mechanics and focus on momentum
Now all we need is a game that feels like it was straight out of the sonic Unleashed and 06 opening…. A man can dream
Us Sonic fans be eatin nice from both oficial and fanmade stuff
It’s amazing, they just need to bring the camera closer imo
I'd play the hell out of this. Sega would have been good if they did something like this.
THIS LOOKS SMEXY!!!!!!!!! THIS IS WHAT SONIC NEEDS, A COMPLETELY NEW SET OF ANIMATIONS. Its time to gear away from the "modern" sonic dating back to Sonic unleashed.
This game looks fantastic!
Is that the traveling music from the mud-90s Sonic OVA? Nice touch.
Daaaaaaaaamn this fire
I think if you show this game to a person who does not know about Sonic games, and then say that it was done by a FAN, then I think it will be stunning for him
This is what heaven looks like
The fact that this was created in Dreams amazes me
Just saying that this is the reason why people didn't like 'Santiago' wayback when. Between this and games like Mania, there's a heart and soul that Sonic's always had, even at his most vintage aesthetics.
Was looking at sonic utopia when someone said that sonic overdrive is like it and to check it out, it looks nice
.
[ Sun 1:27pm 11/5/2023 ]
Pretty dang cool.
Camera’s a bit too zoomed out though, not a problem if there’s FOV settings.
But Tails’ voice… yeesh.
:(
Impressive ❤
Now this is SPEED!!!

*Mind-blowing. One hyphenated word.
this looks way more fun than any of the new modern sonic games. Sega has no idea what they are doing with their franchise.
Looks great
Wow, Tails sounds like he's grown into a teen in this
8:40 better experience than frontiers. That’s what we meant by open zone lol
Sonic fans try not to make goated fangames challenge: literally impossible
other than the Postal 2 sounding voice acting I think this looks good
If Toei Sonic had his own Sonic Game, but tbh this looks great it looks like it takes inspiration of Sonic Rush 3D and Sonic GT at the same Time
