It Looks Like Sonic Team & Shun Nakamura Are Keen To Remake Sonic 06
The producer of Sonic X Shadow Generations Shun Nakamura has previously mentioned he'd like to remake Sonic 06 for modern audiences.
The game has some really cool ideas, really neat stages, and excellent music. I’d totally be down for a competent version of the game.
The fan remake P-06 proves this game has really good potential when all the glitches are cleaned up.
Not a bad thing. Deeply flawed games can be remade better than the original.
I'm unironically buying that shit day one
BUT WHYYYYYY?!
Because the original game isn't bad on a conceptual level, it's just dragged down but being buggy as shit.
The game's not awful, it's just broken. The ridiculous quantity and length of load screens was obviously avoidable. Levels try a lot of things that work fine most of the time, but suffer hilarious bugs for no sane reason. There were surely unaddressed playtester notes about how annoying certain bosses were - both for gameplay, and for repetitive audio barks.
I dunno that it needs a full from-scratch remaster, but it could definitely stand some professional updates. Or drop the assets into a new engine so it can take fresh shaders and feel like it's copying Mario Odyssey instead of Mario Sunshine.
