\"'Aw,<\/a><\/p>\n

SEGA has zero interest in remastering Dreamcast launch title Sonic Adventure<\/a> and its sequel.<\/p>\n

While the 3D platformer received a cool critical reception at launch, this author is particularly fond of the game, largely because it kickstarted a generation of unforgettable action on one of the most legendary consoles of all time.<\/p>\n

But Sonic Team boss Takahashi Iizuka believes it\u2019d take too much work<\/a> to bring the titles up to the standard of modern releases:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI do hear [the requests for a Sonic Adventure remaster] a lot. I really am appreciative for everyone who likes the Sonic Adventure series, but when I think about what it would take to kind of bring that game up to the standards and expectations of what the modern gaming audience would want, I think it would be about as much time and energy as it would to make a new title. Part of me is thinking maybe I should just make a brand new title and that\u2019s why there\u2019s currently no plans.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

SEGA did port the original two Sonic Adventure titles to the PS3, but they\u2019re not currently playable natively on the PS5.<\/p>\n

There has been hope that the Japanese publisher may be cooking something with its back catalogue<\/a>, as it recently delisted the SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Classics<\/a> collection and also removed a bunch of retro releases from the iOS App Store.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d love to see a kind of Arcade Archives<\/a> for SEGA\u2019s back catalogue on the PS Store<\/strong><\/a>, as many publishers are seeing the value in re-releasing retro titles these days, and the Sonic maker\u2019s portfolio is almost as powerful as Nintendo\u2019s when it comes to the sheer breadth of quality content available.<\/p>\n

On the subject of Sonic Adventure remasters, we do agree with Iizuka, though.<\/p>\n

While we enjoy both games in the series, we think we\u2019d rather see Sonic Team continue to develop the ideas introduced in the excellent Sonic Frontiers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But what about you? Do you think Sonic Adventure remasters would be a better use of the publisher\u2019s time? Defend those Big the Cat levels in the comments section below.<\/p>\n
