I want Sonic 06 on PC

[SonicM]

I know it almost has nothing to do with SA2, but just something i want to talk about

[SonicM]

btw i like sonic 06, but it's because it's a "so bad it's good" kind of "like"

It's pretty playable on the Xbox Emulator called Xenia. Lots of graphics bugs with the shadows and you need a pretty good GPU but its playable.
(enabled ROV mode though).
Unlike unleashed you don't even need a premade safe file.

There is a fan update being worked on that updates the graphics, physics, load times, and gameplay. I’d wait for that version. There is a demo available to try out. It’s much easier to set up than an XBox on your computer

You can disable shadows with a fixed cache file and it takes a lot less processing power that way too.

Get this Xenia build and follow the instructions in the description: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQwZ3XlxZGY

DX12 seems to perform way better than Vulkan for me though. Disabling shadows did really boost the performance though.

I tried the latest Vulkan build and it still ran in slow motion for me (has like 30% GPU usage instead of the 100% with DX12).

The Vulkan build always eventually goes slowmo for me (strangely you can get it back to full speed just by opening the Windows start menu but it'll go back to slomo after a minute). However the ML build I linked to runs perfect at least for me.

Oh, that version really does run pretty well.
The DX12 version with that ROV mode runs about just as well but when I disable shadows it somehow also disables the speed lock so the game runs too fast actually. The modded Vulkan version seems friendlier on the GPU though.

the best thing ever is sonic 06 to see in steam, i like it really (its for me sonic adventure 3 without chao garden)!

love things in sonic 06:
+ best gameplay with the Sonic Adventure games and Heroes
+ interesting story
+ a lot playalbe characters
+ city quests are funny

honestly, i only really like it for it being glitchy as hell, if they take out all the glitches from the game and ports it onto steam, i won't buy it (in my opinion, the glitches make this game more fun to drag through)

[Ragedchiller1]

sounds like a great idea but they will need to fix those evil glitches and they should add in sonic colours too.

[Ravel]

In my opinion Sonic 06 was really good.
It was unplayable for the bugs and everything...but:
>The story was good overall
>The gameplay was fun
>The level design (aesthetic part) was awesome IMO
>Soleanna was...well I live in Italy so...

I really want to see another Sonic title like 06 honestly...

Personally speaking, Sonic '06 had the potential to be fantastic, but there were too many issues plaguing it:
-Unreliable controls
-Glitchy gameplay
-Scripted events able to kill you
-A large but uninteresting overworld
-Repeating levels for different characters

Honestly though, I wouldn't mind seeing it remade if they could remove the bugs, at least to see how it was going to go. They would need some major revamps to get around the fact characters all had copy paste levels, but given that some of my favourite parts were those unique stretches (the Silver segment in Flame Core was awesome), I feel they could do something great with it still.

[Sixtyfivekills]

I'd buy it for Shadow's story alone.

[SonicM]

i'd be happy and sad if they removed all of the bugs and glitches, because it wouldn't be sonic 06 anymore, it would just be any other sonic game. I would be fine if fans did a remake of it, but if it was official, and there was no way of the glitches to come back, i would be sad. (my favourite ones being the gems, and the box glitch)

-06’s gameplay is terrible, go play Unleashed’s daytime stages
-no
-Adventure and Heroes do the same except they actually function well and are more fun to play as (save for SA1 Big)
-The whole game is funny because it’s so bad but these things are tedious draining and time wasting
-The game took the worst parts of Sonic Adventure’s overworld and made that the entire thing
-no
