Takashi Iizuka confirms that removing the sound adventure would be laborious how to create a new game
A classic that does not come back
THE Nostalgia for these classics Dreamcast It has fueled voices and requests for years, especially now that there is no simple way to play them in new generation consoles such as PlayStation 5 or Switch 2. Although the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions remain accessible through retroccompatibility or steam, the absence of a modern relaunch has left a void for those who wish to revoke the adventure of Sonic and Company.
The expectation for a modern return of Sonic Adventure It’s not a minor thing. Many consider their original launch as one of the best Dreamcast previews and their second part has left its mark so much that it has even inspired the elements of others Sonic the Hedgehog 3 In cinemas. But unlike other franchises that do not stop obtaining remassors and final editions, Sonic Team has just touched his jewels of the GameCube era and Dreamcast From the time of Xbox 360.
It is not uncommon to see fans get theories, make viral requests or even invent losses on the possible return of the sound adventure. However, The same Iizuka clarified that he prefers to invest the effort in new games: “Part of me thinks that maybe I should create a completely new title, and that’s why there are currently no plans.” Textual words that close the door, at least for the moment, to any hope of remake.
A more selective saga with its remastered
Curiously, Sonic is not exactly a saga given to remakes or remainingAt least compared to other legendary franchises. The only securities that received that treatment were relatively modern deliveries, such as Sound generations or Sound colorsand classic compilations like Sound origins. The Dreamcast and GameCube games were not yet published for current consoles, something that many players see as a pending topic.
In the meantime, Iizuka himself recognizes that the Technological barrier and expectations of the modern public It is an almost big challenge how to launch a new game from scratch. And taking into account the fact that the team prefers to look to the future, it seems that the adventure of Sonic in 3D that has marked a generation will continue to be that, a great memory … unless you decide to sprinkle the Dreamcast or pull the backwards compatibility in Xbox.
The legacy of Sonic Adventure and his current influence
Despite the absence of remake, the Sonic Adventure Legacy He is still alive in the community. Both the characters and their structure of the open world and the attention to the narrative have influenced other modern deliveries and even cinematographic projects, such as the expected Sonic the Hedgehog 3. In addition, there are few indie and fans developers who have tried to capture that magic in their projects, a clear symptom of what jumps from 3D Sonic.
In the current era, in which most franchises do not stop seeing their past with remakes and restarts, The refusal of the Sonic team to look back strengthens the commitment to innovation. Although many we dream of returning to the tour of Square or City Escape with the new generation graphics, at the moment it is time to look to the future and expect what surprises that the blue hedgehog will bring.
