I've been planning to get a desktop gaming PC this year (I haven't found the right one yet) and the fanmade remake Project-06 from Chaos X is one of the games that I will be playing on it. I'm already aware that the final release won't have the story mode and the hub-worlds in it. (unless some other talented modders afterwards make downloadable mods of those parts, which is possible) I understand that I won't be able to try to emulate XBOX 360 version of that game into the PC that I'm looking for due to the recent shut-down of the XBOX 360 Store which made it clear that a used physical copy of the console version is my only choice of how to play it with the story mode and the hub-worlds, so I recently got into ordering one for the XBOX 360 that a friend of mine had helped me to get in August. The game hasn't arrived yet, so Sonic Unleashed is currently the only game that I've been able to play on that old console so-far.

06 shoulndt be remastered it should be remade a remaster is just where you update the graphics

The game sucks but the level design and the handle of playable characters were great

so while I got my start with SA2, the way I first heard of 06 was my dad bringing home a 360 for Christmas with 06 being one of the games he got alongside it knowing me & my brother were Sonic fans. Past me having no standards was able to beat Shadow & Sonic's stories (in that order) with not too much issue, but what broke past me was Silver's campaign having that required escort mission of protecting the one girl from robots. Never beat that town mission & thus never beat the game. I consider it a blessing in disguise now that I've seen other playthroughs & especially having seen End of Time & the insanely placed instakill eyes.

Not only did this game turn Sonic into a joke, it also more or less turned the Sonic fandom into a joke.

Istg if this game was finished properly the only thing people would hate is the story

I wish I could play it as an 8 year old again, i somehow beat it... I can’t get past it as a 25 year old.

I don't think it's lost on anybody who grew up playing this game just how big of an impact 06 had on the franchise. I was 5 when this game came out and played it for the first time when I was 7, it is undeniably a bad game. However, due to nostalgia and personal taste, I found myself really enjoying 06. I really like the concepts, soundtrack, and the level designs, and I can appreciate what this game was going for and what it would/could've been if it was 100% finished. On top of that, as a speedrunner of this game for many years at this point, the game is genuinely amazing as a speedrun BECAUSE the game is bad. The glitches make this game insanely fun to play fast, and the movement gets a lot more smooth and quick when you learn the techniques. (Side note, I think Project 06 has a lot to do with the opinion shifting on 06, since a lot of people play that version of the game now which is a stellar recreation of 06.)

Obviously sonic 06. The only reason being against it that I agree with is the fact that p06 already exists and is still being developed. Knuckles chaotix would also be nice as that is so obscure but is also a classic era game, and if you add more features, you can easily make it accessible for many gamers, like add a game mode without the tether. Though I think they'd have to include it in a collection or bundle and not as a standalone title. Origins was their chance to do this. Adventure games I think are most likely as they can just rerelease the 2010 and 2012 remasters and be lazy. Heroes would also be good as that game is janky and was also rush, and so was missed potential to be a worthy follow up to the Adventure games. I don't think they'll do unleashed because of the werehog, but it would be nice to rerelease it to make it more accessible to those who don't have an Xbox or PlayStation. Others are just either too recent or too obscure and unimportant. Off topic, but I would highly recommend Unleashed to any Sonic fan regardless of the werehog, since it has more Sonic stages than most other Sonic games when counting dlc and missions, and those are some of the best in the series, and you can keep replaying once you get through the story. Anyways, do you know if Sonic 06 ever got bug fixes or updates, or whether they fixed the action gauge to deplete properly? I've heard knuckles chaotix was on Gametap. Do you know whether that was emulated or a remake/port on PC?

Although your videos are cool, I would recommend cutting some of the dead air between lines. It doesn't have to be MrBeast quick, but it feels awkward in this state.

15 years or torment is a bit? :(

i mean the speedrunning community was the best part, waking up on time to see sonic speedruns and see who was gonna get a new record, good time

I wanted to like it, I could see the potential but the broken state it was in just made it impossible to really enjoy. It could have been great if it was just given more time in the oven, as P-06 is showing

I would remaster or remake sonic 06. I feel like if sonic team redoes that game it would be a banger. But hey I could be wrong

Unleashed on D? Mania on S? The meta era games on E? All the Classic slop on A? Don't let bro cook ever again💀

It's not a bad game tho by ANY objective standpoint. Yes, it ruined the franchise's reputation to the public eye but It's actually just a fun, flawed buggy mess of a game that wasn't given enough time at the oven and claiming otherwise is foolish. It's as wrong as claiming any Sonic game from the meta and Adventure era was bad, that the Warehog is a dumb concept or that Adventure isn't objectively better than any Mario slop.

No way people are still bullying this game even 18 years after it’s release

I grew up loving Sonic. My first game was OG Sonic the Hedgehog , but in 2006 I was 17 years old and my attention was towards to more mature games, so I skipped this game entirely, pretty lucky for me I guess

Second best Sonic game of all time right behind Unleashed. Peak OST, peak level design, peak characterization (everyone except Knuckles is at their peak here), phenomenal character designs for everyone except Tails (yup, you're all tripping about Eggman, he looks raw AF here) and ESPECIALLY Sonic and Shadow, those 2 in 06 look better than ever before or since, legit the 06 renders for the cast are to these day the best we've ever received. The presentation is great for the most part, peak script, the chemistry and dynamics of characters are once again at their peak with a few exceptions (Knux and Tails feel kinda lifeless here), directing is peak. The lore is peak. Each Episode focuses on a specific message ut wants to get across, broadly determination and finding one's true self through misfortune for Shadow, how naivety can cloud judgement and the moral ambiguity of sacrificing one to save the many for Silver and learning to occasionally let go of your duties and lower your guard to live life free for Elise through Sonic's core philosophies and all 3 episodes EXCELL at delivering those points across. The story is absolutely epic although I won't argue against the plot holes and inconsistencies cause they are objectively there, I do however wanna point out how hypocritical it is for the fanbase to bush 06 for it and not literally every other game in the franchise that suffers from the same issues. Whether it's Station Square getting completely destroyed but having 0 casualties in SA, Knuckles going from Pumpkin Hill to some random flooded mines and emerging to the surface through a random sewer access and conveniently running into Tails and Amy by pure chance or the moon blowing up having no consequences whatsoever in SA2. Just the way SA2's Knuckles side of things starts is just a mess to, with him and Rouge just standing there bickering about the Master Emerald, you legit feel like you've skipped a dozen cutscenes. The whole existence of Team Rose in Heroes is a giant plot hole in and of itself, with a super contrived reason for Big and Amy to be there and ESPECIALLY Cream. Every single Sonic game falls apart if you start pointing out plot holes and conveniences unless you ignore them. The fanbase does so... Except for 06. Infuriating doesn't even begin to describe it, especially since thematically snd story-wise in the end 06's narrative comes together much nicer than A LOT of the other mainline entries. Solaris is a great villain, with Iblis being cool but of course Mephiles stealing the show entirely, the spotlight is his to command every time he is on screen, best Sonic villain ever, hope he returns for SxS Gens. Then there are things I adore about this game that people hate and I legitimately can't wrap my head around. Why are y'all hating the motion capture? "It looks weird and bad!" No it... Doesn't? Are we even watching the same cutscenes? Aside from occasional lack of eye movement which I agree is a flaw this is the best posing, the best and most expressive body language and the most dynamic and realistic movement these characters have ever received with the exceptions of some Unleashed scenes and Sonic Boom. Like legit, I have no idea what the entire world is on about, they're aninated to nicely, the motion capture truly shines, it's one of these cases where I truly can't comprehend how people think it's bad even when I try my hardest to understand. No copium tho, issues are here. Loading timed are an issue if you're doing Town Missions (not for casual playthroughs tho, they're fine), performance on the PS3 is dreadful (I recommend the 360 version to anyone that hasn't played it, it runs great there), the implementation of Blaze is unfathomably messy, aforementioned plot holes, conceptually phenomenal Mach Speed sections but completely butchered in execution, the occasional mandatory Town Missions interrupt the pacing of the narrative and while NPC dialogues always guide you the right way it's still pretty easy to get lost in Soleanna (peak location btw forgot to mention, love all the lore people give you about the culture there). Definitely a flawed game but s REALLY really good one. I'm not even gonna pretend to be one of the "Yeah it's bad but it's fun" guys I think y'all are coo-coo, game is great. Sonic Man alone elevates it to a 10/10 but I'll be fair snd ignore him for the sake of non-biased integrity, 06 is a turbo solid 7,5/10. Sonic Team wanted this to be the foundation for Sonic going forward, THIS is what they wanted the products to be. The fans rejected it, I will always hate the fans for it because just like Sonic Team 06 is what I wanted the franchise to be as well. As it stands, it ended up being one of the best burgers you've ever eaten at a restaurant but the restaurant shuts down right after, so you'll never get to taste that delicious meal again in your life and the recipe is lost to time. THAT'S what 06 is. PS: Zero nostalgia for this game, I hadn't played a single Sonic gamer prior to 2021 and I'm an adult, I played everything chronologically so not only do I have no prejudices about 06, it straight uo lander right in the middle of my Sonic journey, it wasn't the first, it was the last, this take is not biased infused whatsoever.

I swear i keep seeing people saying unleashed needs a remaster and I'm just going to say this tell me what needs to be fixed the game ain't buggy the story is good were hog was always intentional there's absolutely nothing it needs just eat the pc port when it releases

I agree that Sonic Rush could use a remake with minor tweaking. It was popular and would probably sell well since Blaze is so popular. I would love to see the Sonic Adventure games remade! And you're right, Sonic Adventure needs love more than SA2. I could even see them modernizing the Chao Garden with phone app integration to make a new Mini Chao Garden. This way, you can take your buddies with you just like back in the good ol' days. Pokemon does something similar with Pokemon Home, and I think it would be an awesome touch to top off the experience. It'd be fun if you could race and fight your Chao with your friends online, too.

Sonic Mania isn't mentioned here? (Forces is, which is far worse and came out the same year. Mania should NOT be forgotten!) (Also I don't consider Mania Plus to be a remaster, more just a quick testing ground for some ideas that didn't make it into the base game. The new Encore Act 1 in Mirage Saloon is definitely the big highlight.)

yea. . this is pretty true. if the game released as the truly complete finished project that sonic P-O6 is becoming, we would've had the greatest sonic game OAT😫‼

Sonic 1: B tier Good start to the series, but definitely did not age well plus labyrinth zone is terrible Sonic 2: A tier Big improvement over Sonic 1 with more focus on speed, but the game goes downhill once you get to Oil Ocean Sonic CD: A tier I like the exploration based level design and the time travel mechanic, but the bosses suck Sonic 3: S tier (the GOAT) This game is as close to perfect as it could possibly get plus it has Hyper Sonic, so just that alone makes it peak Sonic Adventure: S tier Excellent transition of the classic formula into 3D, but Amy is too slow and Big is terrible to play with Sonic Adventure 2: S tier Other than nerfing the spin dash, Sonic’s gameplay is better than in SA1, mech levels are pretty fun, best story in the series, but SA1’s treasure hunting levels are so much better, Death Chamber, Meteor Herd, Egg Quarters, and Mad Space can go burn in the flames of disaster Sonic Heroes: A tier Team mechanic is good, level design is decent, but Team Chaotix levels suck, the physics are bad, and Tails’ voice is terrible Shadow The Hedgehog: B tier Story is interesting since you get to see it from the Hero and Dark sides like SA2, but physics are bad like Heroes, you have to beat it 10 times to get the last story, and Shadow using guns and the characters swearing are cringe Sonic 06: S tier The game may be very unpolished, but I still have a lot of fun with it, especially when using the Legacy Of Solaris mod or playing the fan remake P-06, my third favorite 3D Sonic game overall Secret Rings: C tier Bad controls ruins what could have been a great game Unleashed: S tier I have a lot of nostalgia for this game since it was my first 3D Sonic game, it’s an absolute masterpiece, best art style, best boost levels, Werehog is fun (except on Wii version), just wish you didn’t have to collect medals to progress (especially on the day levels) Black Knight: A tier Great story, characterization, and gameplay, but the level design is held back by the Wii Colors: A tier Could have been S tier if level design was better and if the story was better Generations: A tier Both Sonics are fun to play as, but the story sucks and S ranks are way to easy to get Lost World: haven’t played but I’ll say A tier since from what I’ve seen I think it’s underrated Boom: haven’t played but I’ll say F tier because from what I’ve seen, it is so boring, the worst game in the series Forces: C tier Story tries to be darker but fails, level design is mid, at least it has a good soundtrack unlike Boom, this game made me leave the series for a little over a year until the first movie came out Mania: S tier If there were more original levels, this would’ve been perfect, it’s also the game that brought me back after Forces made me quit Frontiers: S tier Open zones are so much fun to run around in and explore, boss fights are peak, story is good for the first time since Black Knight, and Final Horizon made Tails, Amy, and Knuckles playable again, my favorite 3D Sonic game Superstars: S tier If the bosses were better and if it had Hyper Sonic, it would’ve been better than Sonic 3

When I played this game growing up, I was too young to know what a "good" and "bad" game was. It was one of the first video games I played, so all of its flaws and shortcomings were lost on me. I had simply seen it as a game with a colourful character and some cool places to run around in. I have very fond memories of 06 because of this, and it wasn't until I replayed it years later that I realised just how truly awful it was. A part of me loves this game endearingly being a part of my childhood, but as an adult most of that joy I had playing this game as a child is now frustration knowing how a sonic game, or rather, any good third person game feels to play. It's frustrating to the point where I had to stop partway through a stage on a recent playthrough and come back the next day. Like someone else said, there is a bit of a guilty pleasure in playing parts of it. Most of sonic's and silver's stages can be enjoyable at times, and while they're not something that I would say are thoroughly enjoyable, there are parts where there is fun to be had. I can't defend anything about shadow though. I hated his gameplay back then and I still hate it today, which is pretty ironic because I adore how he plays in P-06.

the thing about sonic 06 is that its not bad cause of its ideas. its just buggy. the game is super unpolished. BUT if it was allowed to cook for another year and get out all the kinks, it could have been one of the best sonic games. i like it as a guilty pleasure. i know its buggy and sometimes the pacing is off (and the fucking loading screens) . but chaosx has shown that there is a good game under the mess.

I won't defend Sonic '06 as not being a bad game. But it was at least enjoyable. Sonic Unleashed how ever? That is the worst Sonic game of the 2000s era. No other game made me quit the Sonic series.

I did not grow up with Heroes, Shadow, or 06. I have no nostalgic attachment to them, and I can recognize they were a low point for the series in terms of critical reception and quality control. I cant blame people for holding that against them or thinking they just suck. That being said, I love them with all my heart. Not for what they could be, but for what they are. The different ways they execute Sonic gameplay, the stories they try to tell, the feelings they try to evoke. I can put up with the crap in them to get to the good stuff, which I firmly belive IS there. I don't defend them becaude they were my childhood, I defend them because I really do think they can be valuable experiences with many things to enjoy for people who can tolerate their flaws.

I still play the PS3 version and it's just as amazing as it was back in 2007 when i used to play it on the xbox 360

Yeah, what an unfortunate game... I still really enjoy it though! I don’t find it very glitchy, load screens can be reduced easily now, and I actually like the weird Sonic-Elise romance! I can imagine an alternative timeline where this game did really well and was very popular, and I think it would have elevated the franchise a lot just from being more polished! The potential is all there, but yeah, it’s what it is! One thing I noticed is every 3d Sonic game has some kind of problem that stops people from loving them, and with this game it’s obviously the bugs! So to me, it came the closest to delivering the ideal grounded 3d Sonic experience mainly because it has the least amount of non Sonic gameplay, after Frontiers!

I had forgotten how awful the animations were in Sonic 06 until watching this video.

So, I grew up with generation 1 Pokemon. Red and Blue were notoriously buggy, but I and many others enjoyed it anyway. The thing is, bugs in Pokemon Red and Blue r rarely interfered directly with enjoyment of the base game. I watched the SomethingAwful Let's Play of Sonic 06 back when it was new, so I have seen the game played from beginning to end. The bugs in Sonic 06 aren't quirky or interesting like the bugs in Pokemon, or the numerous fun glitches in Ocarina of Time. Sonic 06's glitches are downright frustrating and majorly detract from the experience. It's cool that some people enjoyed the game despite its flaws, but objectively, the game has serious flaws. You can't ignore them with a straight face. By the way, have you seen the heroic fan effort to save this game via mods? If you have time to look into it and are interested, I'd love to see you try a fan improvement project like Legacy of Solaris and offer your thoughts. Can the fans save it? Or it too far gone?

W video, you're underrated man 🔥

No, on this you can gate keep. This game is actually terrible and unfun. It has sonic and a human having a love affair. Eggman has... that weird nipple suit.

Even though I was a SNES kid, I've always loved Sonic. I'm glad the IP has done well lately.

Wacky worlds is weirder

I think if the Moveset should be simple, than wouldn't it be better to use Sonic 1 (aka Classic Sonic) instead of Modern ? Yeah I think this Sonic is coming from Lost world (I can't say for sure but it is also very simple there right? ) So my thoughts is more on that matter that he would have done more but couldn't because of license issues of SEGA maybe?? I'm not an expert either on this but I think that this is more the case why 😄

Sonic's Moveset is so uncreative yet it's so OP that he's the 2nd best character in the game I actually understand the reason on why it's so simple, the Classic Sonic games are meant to be easier to control As a Sonic Main, If Sonic gets a Moveset like Sonic Battle or not, I'm completely ok with it

honestly I think that sonics up special should be tails flying sonic into the air insted of the spring

Sonic's moveset could have been so much more

spindash spindash spindash

The last two reasons I understand, but the first one barely makes any sense. If that's the case, then Shouldn't Mario have a simple moveset then? Also, him having this "simple" moveset created a problem back when the pandering was a thing to the point Sonic started getting banned from tournaments all because of his moveset. On top of that, he doesn't habe any reps but Fire Emblem gets about 9?

I personally would change some of sonic's move to have more stuff from the modern games because most of his moveset is great! the only things I would change would be his side b for the boost His homing attack will have poses that references the ones he does in the games after a homing attack The animation for his nair being the instant shield from sonic 3 His grab animations to more frontiers based attacks Like his down smash could be the cyloop which would send you flying up potential kill move His forward throw would look like the loop kick His up throw could the tornado kick His back throw would be the cross slash move His up air would be the Mario's up air His up tilt would be the sonic draft The up smash would be one massive strong hit rather than multi hits His down smash would be the sonic flare from sonic battle And the dair to either the stomp, the bounce from sa1 and 2, or the sonic eagle And maybe to really nail that sonic frontiers feel give him the phantom rush gauge that fills up by attacking the opponent and would change your jab into the phantom rush and maybe increase your speed but lower your attack power or knockback either works fine and also make sonic lighter to balance it out more

While I don’t think Sonic's simple moveset was because of the rushed development, I don’t have any doubt about the fact that the lack of time played a factor on how it came out. It feels underbaked beyond the concept of it being simple (also he said he didn’t forget to make Sonic fun to play as, but they did forget to make him fun to play against). Though somehow Brawl Sonic is still the one with the most effort put in though, I mean they recorded new voice lines and he's much more expressive. No clue why his model in Smash 4 and especially Ultimate are so terrible, it’s probably Sega. It’s usually Sega. (Also one thing to note is that Sonic is much less popular in Japan than in America, so that might factor into it somewhat as well)

All of the cons of Sonic's existence on Smash Bros, there's no way he doesn't hate Sonic. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Angel Island isnt the only remix owned by the ip holders. One Metal Gear, Two Street Fighter, and all Final Fantasy are as well
