So far... Sonic Heroes is the only 6th gen Sonic game not released on Steam...

Say what you want about its quality, but it is kinda a shame that it won't ever see the light of day again due to EA hogging the Renderware technologies Heroes used.

Yeah, but that is kinda besides the point as I am talking about rereleases on modern platforms (including Steam)

Never noticed Sonic Heroes wasn't on Steam until now, guess I wasn't paying attention. LOL

While I personally prefer the Sonic Adventure games over Sonic Heroes, it's still an alright game, and it would be nice if SEGA rereleased it for current consoles and Steam.

Yeah it would be nice too, but then again... there is the issue of if EA will be allowing developers to look at the Renderware SDK again.

the PS2 GTA games were all built on Renderware and they got plenty of re-releases (before the bad collection came out)

I think it's more to do with SEGA just not wanting to re-release Heroes rather than Criterion/EA depriving them the ability to do so.

I mean to be honest, I am not that well versed in game development.

You're telling me SEGA could've gotten EA/Criterion's blessing to release it while still retaining the Renderware engine, yet they don't feel like it? Is that correct?

Especially when the PS2 version of Heroes actually got a digital re-release on the PS3 store as a PS2 Classic in Europe and Australia. If it really was a RenderWare issue, I don't think this would've happened at all.

Don't forget Shadow The Hedgehog, which is a 6th gen Sonic game. Or Riders.

Would be really nice to see these again on steam even if they were through lackluster ports like SA1/SA2 got, because at least that way the fans will just tweak them to be closer to how they're supposed to be.

Shadow and Heroes needs to come to Steam.

Riders zero G as well

Considering they have never even ported Unleashed to PC or ps4 (as much as I love Heroes it is a fact that most people prefer Unleashed) and that Colours was a mess of a port I don't think it will ever happen

After Colors Ultimate and Origins (Colors Ultimate was horrible and Origins isn't bad, but not all that good), I'm not sure Sega and remake Sonic games all that well. However, if they were gonna do it, I'd rather Heroes just be remade in the Hedgehog Engine 2 (or whatever Frontiers ran off of). Perhaps Riders as well (Shadow has no reason to be rereleased).
