I LOVE SONIC 06!

[linkenski]

I have probably played this game more out of anything since 2024. I go through phases of Sonic 06 nostalgia, and there's been both mods for the 360 port to test on Xenia, the ChaosX fan-remake "Project 06" which is nice, and there's a PC Recompilation available that makes it playable at 240fps.

The thing is, I don't even dislike the game anymore, and I genuinely see it as a pretty good game (with some lame parts in it), and I really think it just came out at a bad time when it was easily dwarfed by other Next Gen experiences on Xbox 360 and PS3, because if not for that there's something incredibly unique and cool about the game, and I just love the whole "It's a realistic looking setting but now Sonic & Co are jumping around in it" and I wish gaming had more of that. Especially because it has such a Gamer energy to it. It reminds me of the 3D Ninja Gaidens in that sense, where there's just so much ambition that it feels like the devs momentarily forgot they were making a game with Sonic in it.

Four full minutes since this was posted. Why is this user not banned already!?

Jk. Like whatever you want, but don't expect anyone to care.

Had no clue there was a recomp of it out there. That being said I was never satisfied with Project 06 because it's fundamentally a different game. I'll try out the recomp when it's completed.

Well, now I know what the newest addition to my ignore list will be.

you got Project 06 working on those instead of merely on PC? Cool beans!

Where's the link to patch P-06 to work on Xenia, Xbox 360 and PS3? Share it here!

I genuinely respect your love for this game and there are definitely things to enjoy about it, however the time it came out in while it is a factor as to why it's perceived the way it is and it turned out the way it did, is not for the reason you stated, it's entirely on SEGA for rushing the game for sonic's anniversary
and yuji naka leaving the team in the middle of development for the sake of assisting the development of nights journey into dreams, they were also working
on sonic and the secret rings as well as sonic the hedgehog genesis (GBA).

There is a reason sega is hesitant to acknowledge it consistently and even make posts joking about how bad it is,
again i respect your opinion but this is important to note when defending this game.

I was also surprised to find out that a recomp had been done of Sonic '06. It's possible I just plain forgot it existed- I guess it's been around since last year-, but I thought the only 360-era Sonic game that had a recomp was Sonic Unleashed. Either way, it has my attention.

I've never played Sonic '06 myself, but I'm always amazed by how much attention it gets. If I ever have the time, I should try it out myself.

Honestly, I think you're being a bit lenient with this game. Even putting aside the context of its release, Sonic 06 is still riddled with fundamental problems: unstable gameplay, bugs, uneven pacing… it's not just a matter of “bad timing”.
