Only redditfags and e-celebs follow whatever people say about Sonic 06, but I honestly thought it was overhated. It's a bad game, but it's not even on the same level as the worst Sonic game ever. The game was rushed to the core in order to capitalize the franchise's 15th anniversary and it turned out to be an absolute disaster in its final form, but not the worst
sonic 06 is one of the biggest examples of why games should
NOT be rushed out for an anniversary or a holiday release.
in fact, Super Mario World on the SNES was a game that suffered from rushed development. they had alot of ideas for it, but then the higher ups at nintendo decided to make the game a launch title for the SNES, this rushed the game's development, and caused
alot of content to get scrapped. the game was a success and one of the best games for the snes, but i can imagine this made miyamoto against rushed development because of this. because it turns that situation into a gamble.
in these modern days, no man's sky, sea of thieves, and cyberpunk 2077 had very rough launches with bugs and missing features because the developers couldn't get more time to work on them, but they were able to fix the game and add more features with future updates and they became good.
The closest you’ll ever get to Shadow 2 is the upcoming Shadow Generations expansion pack for Sonic Generations. It doesn’t have any guns or vehicles, but it features Black Doom as the villain again

Meh, it's just not the same without the guns. They were a central part of the game, without them you're just playing as edgy Sonic.
Besides, they won't dare to make it edgy, so what's the point.
if they bring back stages from that game, i'm hoping for good ones like lethal highway and sky troops.
and by the way guys. people were talking about a rumor that sonic heroes was getting a remaster. the devs at sega and sonic team debunked it, but they said it's considered.
looking back on the sega dreamcast/nintendo gamecube trilogy. sonic adventure, sonic adventure 2, and sonic heroes, they were really great. these were the first three sonic games i played when i was a kid. they're not one of the very best of the franchise, but they're great nonetheless. they had awesome main themes made by crush 40, and memorable stages too. i'm up for these three games being remastered. and back on december 30th 2023 for japan and january 6th 2024 for US was the 20th anniversary of sonic heroes' release.
