image if instead of remaking sonic heroes, they remade sonic on the game.com (the terrible black and white sonic game)
This brings me back. I'm pretty sure Sega used RenderWare to alleviate some of the stress of multiplatform development, and it was a big deal at the time. By then, Sonic Adventure DX and 2 had made their way to the GameCube (Sorry, Sonic Shuffle never left the Dreamcast.), and fans wanted the next big Sonic game. Of course, people were clamoring for Sonic Adventure 3, but that never materialized.
I'd never scoff at a remake/remaster of a PS2-era game, though.

I think Sonic 2006 was meant to be Sonic Adventure 3. It had exploration hub stages with mini-games, and 3 character paths. I think they did a last minute name change to not tarnish the legacy of the series after seeing how buggy and broken it was though.
I even remember such digital debate in Sonic Retro Forum however I don't remember of where it's right now.
You know Sonic Adventure 3 because of Sonic X Season 3 based on Metarex Saga.

Sonic R is a thousand times worse than Sonic Heroes.they picked the worst sonic to remake!
That generation was full of missteps, and Sonic '06 was definitely one of them. With Sonic being such a big property, I can't understand why Sega just said, "whatever, ship it!" Then again, Sega was starting to show some real lapses in judgement. Sonic Heroes didn't raise many flags, but Shadow the Hedgehog certainly did. I haven't played Sonic Unleashed or Sonic and the Black Knight, but I haven't heard encouraging things.
Sonic has always been a strange franchise to dissect. The Genesis games were solid, but the series has a real bumpy history after that point. For every Sonic Generations (hey, I liked it) or Sonic Mania, there's been a Sonic '06, Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis, etc.
You've spent too much time living in the city, and you need to feel the sunshine. It'll brighten up your day and take you back in time, I promise!
Don't forget, we have to keep it real.
I dunno, Sonic Labyrinth is pretty bad... But most people think it's a game about speed, but it's not... It's an inertia game. Once people realize that, it's easier to play and understand.they picked the worst sonic to remake!
I however would like a remake of Sonic Chaos, especially for the real Genesis hardware. I saw the PC port, but I don't care for it. It's ugly and everything is just... not right. Sonic Chaos is a different animal and needs to be remade with respect to the original. Nobody ever gets the sounds or graphics right for Sonic Chaos. It also has a little bit more floaty jumping physics than other titles.
Any of the Game Gear games would benefit from a remake, and I like the Genesis hardware idea. It'd help preserve the physics and 2D aesthetics.
I could never wrangle the hang gliders in Sonic 2, so that'd be high on my list for a re-do.
The hang glider controls are just like controlling Mario on the SNES with his cape: Occasionally pull back to slow down and catch lift.

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
