Sonic Heroes Remake in UE5 Rumored, So Who Knows If It'll Happen

Yeah they do these little flourishes occasionally in modern Sonic stuff. I noticed a lot of them in Lost World and how they enhanced what should have been an unremarkable looking game on paper. It convinced me that they should commit to the bit entirely but it feels like they've only gotten more focused on realism since.

 

What about Dream Team?

 

Has the series ever shown any real interest in doing that style though? Even as far back as Sonic 3 the series has generally favored degrees of realism+detail over other things, with Lost World, Dream Team, and maybe Superstars being the only big exceptions. And the latter two aren't even made by Sonic Team.

 

I know what sonic team's preferences are, I just think they're working against what's best for the series. Wouldn't be the first time.

 

3D Sonic's aesthetic needs more of a general overhaul before they do more specific things like put zany manga FX shaders everywhere. It's not like 2D Sonic ever really leaned into that either.
