@ChaosX
On today's SPOTLIGHT, I'm revisiting Sonic Project '06 one last time. It's been a bit since I covered this game, but man, I wasn't expecting this much change since then. Sit back, relax, and let's talk about it.
Check out my Social Media pages for updates and other...things!

#sonicthehedgehog #sonic06 #sega - Hry
I'm aware there's a MULTITUDE of amazing details and other things I didn't cover, but hey, that's what the eventual VS video is for when this project is finished. However long that might be. Play the game.
Nice Intro to Johnny's Spotlight.
Now you don't need to only like the sonic sections of this game
Can we see Eliot get rekt'd by Flame Core?
ChaosX stated he'll take a break after the next QoL build, so who knows when the next major build will come out.
From what I have officially gathered. Sega of America had given this project the ok on their part however sega of Japan is basically extremely quiet on it. I wouldn't be surprised if they thought it was a much. Much better game
Thank you so much for covering the game again Johnny! Always a great time watching these!
Really appreciate the feedback! Since I've mostly focused on adding the base content, I haven't had much time to properly polish or improve the more rough edges (admitedly Silver's stages might've been just a bit rushed) but once the main content is finally up and done, I'm willing to go the extra mile to rework parts of the game that could be so much better!
But all in due time, again thank you so much for playing the game!
From the bottom of my Heart...Thank you for your hard work in polishing this game.
I'm HOPING Sega greenlights this officially to sell for Consoles, I'd buy a PS5 and a Switch Version (Physical and Digital Special Editions for PS5 and Regular Physical and Digital Special Edition for Switch).
Right now, the gaming industry could use such Passionate, Talented, Game Designers such as you and JKB Games.
Here's to hoping we get P-06 released for all platforms as well as Megaman X Corrupted 🙏🏽.
Oh hey it’s the guy who made all this possible. Big thank you’s to and your team for all your hard work on this.
Thank you so much for allowing us to get a grasp of what 06 would’ve been had it all gone to plan. You’re officially responsible for satisfying my urge to play that game in a functional state. You went above & beyond, thank you again.
you rock sir. so much work all without asking for a dime or a job at sega
You're doing God's work man. Keep it up!
Also, it'd be sick if you finished the main story or added chao gardens back!!
Finally Johnny can have an excuse to play Sonic 06 over and over like he does and not look like a lunatic. A dream come true I'm sure.
For Real he really loves Sonic 06 despite denying it
**screaming angrily like a banshee in sonic 06 multiplayer**
This fanmake has shown that the DNA of 06 was always there for a great game
06 was a guilty pleasure for me so seeing this from that perspective this project is utterly tremendous
@@Jimjim192Same here, I'm just wondering from the back of my mind what could have been if Sega had given the game two years of delay.
@@Jimjim192 I got about halfway through it in High School and honestly had a decent time with it. Yeah it was still janky as hell, but the levels were fun to explore.
I just found out about Project 06 today and now I'm downloading the most recent version, can't wait to finally have my unofficial Adventure 3
@@drpepperman2765Did you have fun playing it?
Maybe it’s just me but Shadow’s line in his story of: “if the world chooses to become my enemy, i will fight like i always have.” Is one of my favourite moments from him
It's raw asf
Honestly, after Mephiles manipulating people through the entire story, the entirety of Team Dark just telling him to fuck off is amazing.
Shadows story in general was the best one in the game. Also 06 shadow is still the best shadow we got in the games imo
@@comedytitan994706 Shadow is the best Shadow we've gotten period.
Shadow is honestly right about that line too.
Cause metaphorically speaking, it makes sense. Keep fighting for what you believe in is the general message there and for Shadow, it easily means the most cause man has he really gone through some stuff..
I swear whoever worked on Project 06 needs to praised a lot more in the fandom. They retroactively made Sonic 06 of all games amazing.
He definitely gets a ton a praise in the community! He's a well known creator in most Sonic circles at this point
Now all we need is a rewritten story and cutscenes for that said story and we will get a definite true game that Sonic truly DESERVES
They essentially made sonic 06 what it was ment to be.
Trust me if sega never split sonic team to go work on some wii spinoff this is the 06 we would have gotten
What's important about this project isn't just that it's fixing a lot of the issues from the original while updating certain aspects, like having little cutscenes and improving the controls and look of the game, but it proves that Sega and Sonic Team were onto something here. This game could have been a lot of fun if they had given it the polish and tweaking it needed. Even if the story was the same mess, the gameplay could have made up for it.
Now if sonic team eats this game up and releases it for 20th anniversary. This will be monumental like GTA 5 first once launched
@@JeskidoYT They're not doing that. They wouldn't give Mania a sequel, you'd think they'd greenlight this?
@@Kingdom850 To be fair they actually did try to greenlight Mania 2. Communications between the mania team and sega of America broke down and the project was cancelled.
Not really...
We also gotta keep in mind that back when Sonic Team had an interesting clear vision for the franchise, when this game started development one of the original goals N*ka wanted to achieve was for the game to have the same cultural impact as spider-man 2 and batman begins which were released around 2004-2005. Can you imagine the impact it could've had during 2006. Plus this game was also where in terms of hype, the franchise was at it's peak
The game we should’ve gotten at launch.
And to think he’s still not done developing it yet
Right.
@@PrizzimNeither was Sega, with the official game. Proof that it’s not a good excuse to push out a lackluster product.
If only it didn't get rushed for the holiday season
Sonic 06 was rushed for the 15th anniversary 😒
This has been one of my biggest reasons for getting a PC. To see this game but actually made good is so cool.
This project IS the reason I got a PC. This & the Sonic Infinity/Omen project
Imagine this on steam deck
@@JeskidoYTIt looks bad but it's fun
@@JeskidoYTit works on steam deck in high settings at 40fps. 60 fps is possible somewhat at the lowest settings and resolution but is very inconsistent so I stick to 40fps at high settings in 720p
P-06 really does demonstrate that 06 had the solid foundations to make a decent Sonic game. It's legitimately an accomplishment in being one of the best video game remasters of all time.
The 'official' Sonic The Hedgehog (2006) was just disappointing because of Microsoft forcing Sega to rush development as the 2006 Christmas shopping season was looming.
If the game failed to launch, Sega would've lost their license to develop software for the Xbox 360.
@@Code7UnltdAlso because Sonic Team was stretched as thin as they were with how ambitious the game was. 9 playable characters was a bad idea. Add in the mach speed sections and Shadow’s vehicles and I have to seriously ask if anyone realised they were doing too much
While the developers did put a lot of effort into fixing it, Sonic 06 unfortunately has too many fundamental flaws that can't be fixed in a remaster.
@@Code7Unltd Microsoft had nothing to do with 06 turning out the way it did. It's entirely SEGA and Sonic Team's fault.
@@chiron540 In terms of the story, yeah, they can't really do anything to fix that. However, I think the general gameplay and level design is what draws me and other fans towards the original game despite how janky and unpolished it is. It was based off of the Adventure games' structure, so they had the tools to make a fun experience already. The issue was terrible deadlines and over-ambition.
"Unfortunately, Rock Launch doesn't work here. Project 06 is too competent."
Love that spotlights can focus on a bunch of things like this. Keep them up!
36:33 I don't know why but "this is fucking alchemy" gave me goose bumps
This is seriously impressive
As someone who isn't a Sonic fan, seeing this makes me want to download this and experience what Sonic fans should have gotten almost 20 years ago. That speaks volumes.
It's even more impressive when you realize the person behind this fan project didn't even play the original sonic 06.
@@gigaman5850he did like year or 2 ago but yeah definitely impressive.
Wait rewind
Almost 20 years ago????
Oh geez......
34:16 The sudden jumpcut in the middle of this sentence was perfectly timed
I will always be impressed by what the Sonic community is capable of doing when it comes to ambitious projects like this. I'm looking forward to Project 06's final release!
An ambitious project from a guy who _never_ played the original. ChaosX literally started this project cos he didn't have a console to play 06 with. Lol.
Same for Unleashed, but he later cancelled that one.
@@kyanoang3l0_oldaw man!
@@kyanoang3l0_oldhe did end up playing the original later on. At first he was basing everything off clips but later in development if I recall, he later played the game himself to help with development
@@PotatoPL- Oh, ok. Must've missed that while following P-06's development. Still, recreating a game from scratch w/o the OG game itself and with just "a folder housing gigabytes of reference material" and others' contributions was impressive.
I've been purposely avoiding checking out Project 06 until it's as close to completion as it will be in order to ensure my first playthrough will have as many surprises as possible.
It’s nice to see Johnny talk so positively and passionately for good reason about Sonic
I would personally say Triple Trouble 16-bit is the AM2R of Sonic. One of the best Sonic games.
The way Chaos X has rewritten history.. J's reviews has said it was his favorite sonic game. Johnny calls it incredible. Gotta love how he reversed the general opinion of the game
Oh god, 06 is almost 20 years old.
I feel old...
Man... imagine the alternate timeline where this was Sonic '06 on launch.
It wouldn’t have been it was on Xbox 360 not pc it would not have been anywhere near as good
@@schakiarligonde1736man can you shut the hell up I see you everywhere get a life for God's sake if you don't like the game just don't play it stop going around saying "uhhh it could never be good trust me bro"
@@schakiarligonde1736 How would the Xbox 360 handicap the revamped gameplay? The graphics are mostly have been saturated, with the effects stronger.
Used to watch Johnny when I was 6 and now I’m about to turn 20 checking up on my childhood
I don't know how I'd be able to get through this year of college without Johnny. So soothing to listen to, and at the same time so satisfying to hear him break down games. I always smile when I see a new video ! (:
His run of videos since the Patreon page started have been so good as well you can tell he's relaxing a bit
Also helps that he is one of the few CZcamsrs that has never jumped the shark and still has my undisputed trust.
Finally, Johnny is praising Sonic 06 after 10 years from his old review on it. Good work, bro.😎👍
The original 50 minute long video haha
Sonic 06 is his favorite adventure game 😏😁
10 years…
@@mysteryperson1958Playing as SONIC is his favorite Adventure game. Which he said Sonic was the best parts of 1 and 2, sooooooo…
@@homuraakemi103 Johnny's old review in 2013 on the Sonic 06 game.
Sonic Fans like these always surprises me when making mods for past games. It is a thing of beauty seeing them improve on something to reach its full potential. Sliver actually being fun using his psychic power, Shadow using his powers to the fullest, Sonic feeling like his Adventure Games. It feels like a totally brand new game. I really can't wait for the full release of Project 06 & I hope to see more amazing mods like this.
This is not a mod. It's a full-on remake made in the Unity engine.
Great Spotlight Johnny! You said it best. “Project 06 is Shaping up to be the Adventure 3 06 was meant to be.” I hope you can find the chance to explore the levels just a little more (maybe get those S ranks?), because there may be a “Super” surprise waiting for you. :)
What a time to be alive, even Sonic 06 got fixed after all these years.
I had a feeling Johnny was going to enjoy it, seeing as how he likes the Sonic portions of the original, but watching him just gush about this is always a fun time. It's nice that us Sonic fans of most eras can eat well right now
This game is a HUGE improvement from 06 and looks and plays better too! Hope we get boss fights and cutscenes added in soon, then the game will be complete.
I cannot express how long I've wait for you to do a video on CURRENT Project 06'. It is legitimately fantastic and one of my favorite sonic games.
Sonic 06 came out 17 years ago. Now, kids born in that year graduating high school. I can still remember 2006 like it yesterday. Anyone feel old yet?
Seeing my Silver cutscene animation in a Johnny video is so surreal XD
If the Last Story/Boss update comes out and sticks the landing, we could be looking at a Top 5 Sonic Game instead of just a Top 10 one lol. I am curious if the actual campaigns themselves will happen afterwards, not entirely sure if they're worth the effort but as is, P-06 is a miraculously great game that I need to play way more of. ChaosX and everyone else who helped out on this did a stellar job.
Not covered in this video: Shadow and Silver have their own hidden upgrades in the fashion of Sonic's gems, if you enjoyed the last cutscene of Shadow's story, you may enjoy what his upgrade has to offer.
This is almost poetic 🥹 I remember vividly watching your long 06 review (as well as ClementJ456's review series, what a throwback!) as a kid nearly ten years ago and being intrigued by "the game universally panned" that was just out of my reach as a young Sonic fan. Following the progress and stories of the PC remasters/remakes of 06 over the last half a decade has been a crazy journey, and watching this spotlight feels like a full circle moment. I can't wait to see this project finish - it's bound to be the among the best fan projects to come out of the video game community at this rate 🔥
Just imagine where the series would be nowadays if Sonic 06 launched like this. Maybe as Sonic 07 or 08.
Sonic project 06 is basically the Sonic Adventure 3 we never got
Simply amazing. What I appreciate the most is the time they took to polish up shadow’s skating animation. After SA2 it never looked as smooth. Well done
Project 06 redeems the rushed and broken mess we got back in 2006 by giving it the time that it needed. Even if more time wouldn't have fully fixed the story of Sonic 06, the devs really tried to be make Adventure 3 everyone wanted, but completely failed to reach due to a cut team and not having nearly enough time to cook, which lead to a completely broken mess. Thankfully, P-06 does everything to help improve the gameplay to what it always should have been.
Even if the original game was finished I honestly doubt it would be anywhere near as good as p 06 it was 2006 and the technology wasn’t as good and it was on Xbox 360
If this is what Sonic 06 have looked like back when it first came out, it could have been hailed as one of the greatest Sonic games of all time
Silver was already a dork _in_ 06. He gets to the past and all he can do is talk about how pretty everything is. Even deserts! It wasn't the most predominant part of his character, but it was there, and his dorky voice helped.
This is absolutely spectacular. You're original Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) video is one of my favorites of your content and I remember watching that so much when I was younger (and I still do to this day). I remember being obsessed with the game despite its infamy and wanting to see if it could be improved. Lo and behold, I discovered Sonic Project '06. All the updates, from the character movesets, the speed, the controls, the visuals, the bug/glitches fixes, the added bonuses such as the intro cutscenes for the levels now. I am so happy that Sonic '06 is finally getting the praise, recognition, and redemption that it deserved ever since its time constrained development that ultimately doomed the product when it first lauched way back in 2006. I think I'm gonna wait until the full game is finished because something like this I would rather prefer to take its glory all in one setting. Keep up the good work ChaosX and team. You've made a miracle.
Thank you so much, Johnny. I’ve been a fan of your videos for many years now, and I always will be.
Typa shit I’m on fr
I can’t believe it! Johnny loves Sonic 06?????
This is what sonic 06 should’ve been
Goes without saying, doesn’t it?
You know, the funny thing is this version of Silver would be a perfect protagonist replacement for in the frontiers game. Honestly, the plot and exploration and puzzles in frontiers would fit Silver's character and play style a lot better. Project for later possibly...
From description and issues with Silver, I feel like best authors of project could make - is to add ability for him to gain height (not much) similar to ACs in Armored Core 6 - where as you hold jump button mid-air, assuming you still have energy, you will begin ascending - but the more you ascend, the more power is used. This could eliviate issue with overshooting drastically, provided you're not launching yourself without power as Silver. I also think it would be good change to Silver's gameplay.
If I were SEGA, I'd be looking at this and I think "oh we need to hire this guy and give him the funds and team to finish this and give it an official release". That may never happen but who knows, a guy can dream.
But here's my question: if you could rename Sonic 06 and give it a proper subtitle, what would it be? I'd go with something like 'Sonic: The Flames of Disaster'.
Sonic Chaos X would be a great name.
And here's something else: it's playable on Steam Deck! You have to make a few tweaks, but its fully playable and runs well!
Love the cozy vibes on this one. Omega looks so damn awesome, reminds me of his portrayal in the comics. Considering what Sonic Team showed today with the final DLC for Frontiers, what you said at the end about what makes a great Sonic game, I think there is hope.
I feel the exact same way with a lot of the things you said here. This game is a masterpiece as far as Sonic games go.
Shadow Chaos Blasting that hallway of Badniks was oddly satisfying, being a survivor of his eponymous game and at one point attempting to 100% it for some reason.
Meanwhile, people have no doubt given up on X7, which is a lost cause after it's last chance at redemption has long since sailed (Rockman X: DiVE). This is a VERY unique experince from start to finish and I'd like to see what the infamous Last Story has in store for the P-06 team.
It takes intentional effort to screw up something like X-DiVE. Capcom really hates Mega Man.
And that is partially how I feel about the Mega Man Fanbase. P-06 is a perfect example of fans taking action. So far, all I've seen Mega Man fans doing is lament that things could've been better despite having all the tools they need to improve X7.@@Elyseon
@GaiaX5 Unfortunately, the last Mega Man fangame I remember hearing about (multiplayer arena brawler) got slapped with a C&D, and the makers had to shut down the servers.
Sega REALLY need to pull a Valve/Black Mesa here. Support the completion of the project and release it officially. Incredible work.
Playing Shadow alone is absolutely worth getting the game. Project-06 actually captures the feeling of Shadow really being this unstoppable, Ultimate being. You feel so insanely powerful, how quickly he just snaps from enemy to enemy, and how after hitting them he does that slow flip just to show off feels just right. Project-06 gives us a Shadow we can truly feel like he is the Ultimate Life Form. Play it for him. Sonic and Silver play great too, but Shadow really is something amazing.
This game is right up there with all the greatest Sonic games like 2&3, Adventure 1&2, and Generations.
Adventure 1 and 2 are definitely not some of the greatest sonic games ever made. The other three games you mentioned are though.
@@okagron Agree to disagree then, but they're both in my top 5.
Generations, Adventure 1 & 2, Unleashed and P06 would be 5th. If you don't count P06 Frontiers would be in it's place.
Yesss, I've been waiting for Johnny to check this newest version of P-06 out! Love the spotlight, and this makes the game legit look fun to play now. Not perfect, but the difference is night and day!
When P-06 is complete, story and all. Here’s hoping there going to be a revisit Let’s Play sometime in the future.
Sonic Project 06 is what Sonic 06 should've been
My review of this game: It's very satisfying
My favorite thing about Shadow is chaining together carefully placed homing attacks and spears on enemies to stay in the air as long as possible across different rooms in the stage, just to get that "PERFECT" score. So satisfying.
My favorite thing about Silver is speed running the stages with perfectly timed ESP mode activations and teleport dashes. Grabbing enemies and simply releasing them again will crush them to bits. So satisfying.
My favorite thing about Sonic is dashing through enemies with the bounce attack and homing attack. The bounce attack gives you a homing attack refill, meaning you can descend to the ground super fast, then dash forward to keep your momentum going. So satisfying.
Fully agree with that one part... Something original to take full advantage of these characters would be so good.
I mean hell, you only get to play as some of these characters as little as TWO TIMES throughout the ENTIRETY of 06.... That's going to be a real shame when project 06 is fully finished.
I'm so glad to see you covering this now that it's matured so much!
We finally got to see a perfected version of Sonic 06. I always knew that game’s reception would be positive had it been properly finished.
Thank you for taking the time to improve upon this game ChaosX.
I can imagine some madlad doing a Sonic World thing with Project06 and adding a fully functional Chao Garden and everything needed for it to be connected with the main game. Making 06 the true Sonic Adventure 3 it was always meant to be.
Great video!
A couple of weeks ago, I finally got to play Sonic '06 for the first time. It was quite the experience and yes it's true what everyone was saying that the game was bad, but had the potential to be good. I really did enjoy the amazing soundtrack from Sonic '06. I'm definitely looking forward to try Project '06 because I've heard very good things about it.
Perfect timing, just tried this out a couple days ago! Really good! There are a couple little things I am not fond of, or maybe not used to, but its simply amazing! Sonic 06 was my first Sonic game, which might be why I never hated it, but MAN do I wish it released in a similar state of quality like how P-06 is.
P-06 is genuinely my favorite 3D Sonic game and it’s even possible it surpasses even my favorite 2D games being Mania and 3&k. It’s about as close as we will ever get to what I would imagine a Sonic Adventure 3 would be like, the controls are perfect, the graphics are PHENOMENAL, the added details make me feel like a kid again, the upgraded characters all feel amazing, etc. Its all just perfection for me.
Sega should unironically hire them and release this officially.
I just played this game because of reviews etc like yours. I never played the original but I really enjoyed this! It's so good! I did feel a bit annoyed at some of the controls, like if the homing attack doesn't lock on you'll dart off the edge which is quite annoying, but wow, it's a really great effort to make it the game it should be! I'd like for it to include the story and cutscenes so it becomes a bit more of a full experience but I guess I'll check back in when there are future updates!
Hell yeah Johnny! I've been here since before your original 06 video, love your work bro 💪
I asked Chaos X to make an option so the camera is higher and sees you angled down so we have better vision of what's underneath us. Also would be cool to add some visual queue that would do the job shadows would do in old 3D platformers so we can keep the actual shadows and also have the sureness of landing
I find it awesome that a people with passion can creat something as amazing as this
Fan projects forever so special to me. Any company taking those down is truly lost.
As someone that does not, has never and likely will never care about the Sonic franchise, this is kinda hype. Taking one of the most notorious modern games ever released and not only turning it into a functional product, but a GOOD game? Uh, yeah, that deserves attention, a lot of attention.
Johnny I'm glad your doing a Spotlight on this project and I can't wait for you do the Full Project 06 release espically when they do the boss fights and last story segment also they fixed all your problems gameplay wise with the hedgehogs and Amigos
I can listen to Johnny all day talking about video games, I really can't wait for the day P-06 becomes a full game
This project is seriously amazing. I’ve been so happy to keep up with it
Saying that this proves Sonic 06 would have been the best Sonic game EVER given more time to cook and less crunch is probably an exaggeration, but still, more power to people pouring their blood, sweat, and tears into turning SONIC 06 into something better…
Nah, the crappily written story and questionable game design has nothing to do with crunch or rushed development.
@@jlev1028uhhh yes yes it did lol
They would've changed the story if they had time
Same goes for questionable game designs
Now I can safely say
06 IS ADVENTURE 3
I remember the joke from clement about how 06 is just sonic adventure 3 in his review ages ago and its never left me.
But project 06 i feel kinda earns that title. It feels like a true evolution of the adventure formula
The passion for this project is insane
Modern 3d Sonic could use some non-linear level design from classic series like Sonic2 and Sonic3 - with 2 or 3 different paths to the end. That's just my opinion though, but thats exactly what i've been missing in such games this whole time
Kudos to the developer. I don't play sonic, but hearing you gush about everything says all I need to know.
That little intro was beautiful
10:24 And that’s when you gotta draw a line in the sand and say “What am I willing to put up with today?”
the combat focused gameplay in shadows story makes use of overvelming amount of enemys and makes it unique.
i still remember johnny nearly spitting out his tea at the loading screen speed during SHC.
Its crazy when you really think about it. Sonic 06 should have been the greatest sonic game to be made. Its sad it never reached that because it was rushed. Also considering tge fact that some of my most fond gaming memories came from Sonic 06.
Id love to see Sega remake this game with yhe help of the developer who made the Sonic 06 fan project.
Just keep Mephalis one shotting and deleting Sonic in the story. That easily the best part of the story.
This game is what Sonic games should be. Its sort of luke this with Sonic Frontiers but the Project 06 seems like the full evolution od what Frontiers is.
I think 06 story can be greatly improved with minor fixes and rewrites without compromising storybeats and stage orders. Just make Elise a kid whose dad recently died a weeks ago has just assumed the crown and is now having her first soleanna festival when Eggman arrives to bully a literal child.
This fixes so many things. First, Elise having the blue emerald for 20+ years doesn't fit with other sonic games, her having it for a couple of weeks makes more sense. Second, i empatize a lot more with her character if she hasn't had the time to process grief, was told not to cry and move on with a huge responsibility on her shoulders, at a very young age. Rather that a well stablished monarch that just give up and let herself capture eveytime. Gameplay wise Sonic carrying someone 2/3 his size on his quills would be adorable.
With a few dialogue rewrites, Mephiles' mission would not be to make an queen cry for the first time, it could be drown a little girl in utter despair and hopelessness.Then killing Sonic would make sense.
Just think about it, everything falls into place
There really are a lot of things to appreciate about the game- the cutscenes are grand for its time, the music is incredible and classic as always, and the story for the most part (long as you cut out a certain "romance" in it) really is good. I honestly can say this wouldve been close to the top ten spot of that years gaming if they fixed all the bugs and glitches before launch.
Thank you for covering this
This title looks amazing now, I might have to give it a try once it is fully completed.
I played 06 for the first time last year just prior to playing P-06, and honestly even with the og I felt, if it had been actually finished, 06 could've been one of if not the best Sonic game, there was so much to love but it was simply not a finished product, it's an alpha, neither on a story level nor gameplay.
Project 06 to me feels like a realization of what 06 could've and should've been, it's not 1-1 with what it likely would've been but man it feels like it's done everything it can to fix and refine what was there without compromising it's original vision and I think it's in part why people have recently gone back and reflected on what was good in 06 despite it's major issues.
I was waiting for Johnny to have another chance to talk about his favorite Sonic game again 😄
I have played it and I loved it, but back when I played it they didn't have the silver patch out so I'm excited to download that and try it now. Your viewpoints on this game are awesome as always Johnny.
Thanks for the video, even though I'm late watching it lol.
Almost backflipped with joy the moment I saw the notification for this video! 😆
Hearing all this praise makes me wonder... What if this was the Sonic game we got back in 06? How would a successful Sonic 06 game shaped the franchise going forward? Would Sonic Unleashed never be a thing? Would they have stuck with this fresh slate and further explored this more "serious" direction for the series?
If Sega was as devoted as their fans, things could have gone a lot more smoothly for them.
Unleashed would've been like 06 but instead of mach speed you'd have the boost formula.
The boost was always planned to be implemented, even in heroes and rush you can see the vision they had but if 06 didn't fail they wouldn't have leaned into it so heavily.
Fun fact: Sonic, Shadow & Silver each have a secret ability that can be obtained by getting all S Ranks on their stages then finding that ability in specific stages (and for Sonic you also need to collect all of the Gems
28:33 the frame rate drops so heavily, because there is something wrong with the reflections and the volumetric lights. Putting the reflections off and the volumetric lights to medium or lower will eliminate the lag.
16:39 "Im just going to release and go about my merry business" lmao 😂 PAUSE! lol
