Sonic Team director shows interest in Sonic Adventure remake

Sonic Adventure holds a very dear spot in the hearts of many gamers. The same could be said for the dev team as well, and it appears some of them might be interested in revisiting the game. In an interview with Retro Gamer, Sonic Team Director Takashi Iizuka discusses the potential for a remake.

“It was the first highspeed 3D action game that also featured a scenario highlighted with six different stories, the A-life Chao, six unique styles of gameplay – it is a unique game offering even 20 years after its release. At the time, it also wasn’t just a solitary software release, it was the title to bring people to the Dreamcast and we were given the budget to make something to showcase the hardware,” says the director, clearly proud of the team’s accomplishments. “However, it was the very first 3D game that we worked on and looking at it now I can see the rough edges it has, which really makes me want to remake it again,” he adds with a laugh. That comment is sure to bait the fans – and can you imagine Sonic Adventure’s ambition realized with today’s tech?”
