While lurking the eBay, I found this:

Just thought somebody with some spare cash in their PayPal would be interested in this. Not sure where this kind of topic would go, so I posted it here. Sorry if I did a no-no. -
What would Sonic Heroes have been like without Sony?
05 October 2011 - 08:00 AM
I was just reading the 'Sonic and the Worst Fandom Ever' blog when I came across little tidbit about Sonic Heroes that aroused a shitload of curiosity deep within me:

...The problem occurred when Sony decided to interfere. According to legend, Sonic Heroes was originally going to be on Gamecube and XBox only. However, Sony told SEGA the same thing they had told Capcom numerous times: “Release this on Playstation 2 or you'll never be allowed to release games on a Sony brand console ever again”. The PS2 was the dominant console that generation and being prevented from releasing titles on it could doom a company. However, SEGA was terrible at programming for the PS2. They had even produced a number of Dreamcast titles in the past that flat-out could not be done on PS2. But now, SEGA had to take a title they had already partially finished and move it from it's own proprietary engine to something that could easily be ported to all three consoles: Renderware. This sudden engine shift probably put them far behind schedule and messed up any chance to really polish the game as much as it needed to be. This caused SEGA to produce yet another sub-Adventure title.
According to this article, Heroes is a mess and we all have Sony to blame. What's even more interesting is that they were using a different, most-likely stable engine before all of that shenanigans took place. Could it have been a heavily-tweaked Adventure engine? Who knows? But what really gets my gears turning is that somewhere... hidden deep within Sega's vaults full of unseen Sonic protos/POCs is a playable version of said theoretical prototype... anyways please fill me in with any info I'm not aware of; I really want to know all about this.
