Nakamura‘s biggest role in development up to this point was having directed the Dreamcast hit Samba De Amigo, though he did have past experience with Sonic games, having worked on Sonic R, both Sonic Adventure games as well as the recently released Sonic Heroes.
The Havok engine was already in consideration by the team, due to having shown great promise in earlier games and tech demonstrations around the time.īut as the fourth quarter of 2004 came around, Shun Nakamura got a phone call about how SEGA was forming a new team to start working on a game for Sonic’s 15th anniversary in 2006. The idea was to have a game set in a realistic world where the player would be playing around with physics to manipulate the world and solve puzzles. Yoshinari Amaike, whose latest work had been designing enemies in Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg was part of a small development team at SEGA that had come up with a new game concept. Our story begins long before Sonic 2006 was a thing at an unspecific date somewhere before fall 2004.
Get ready, because this is one really weird and long answer. But one question keep on popping up whenever anybody gets their hands on the game just how did SEGA, a professional AAA publisher and developer, allow this to happen? Even SEGA themselves have recently made easter eggs bashing the existence of Sonic 2006. With its unpolished gameplay, ridiculous glitches, awful writing and disappointing visuals there’s not much that wasn’t laughable about the final product SEGA put out for the 15th anniversary of its own company mascot. By now there shouldn’t be a single video game enthusiast that doesn’t know about the infamous SONIC THE HEDGEHOG released in 2006 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, commonly referred to as Sonic 2006.
