To some extent, thats understandable.
And even good games from the early to mid-2000s tend to age poorly.
Thepublisher declared 2024 its “Fearless: Year of Shadow”.
The Keanu Reeves-voiced version of the character played a big role inSonic the Hedgehog 3.
We just got Sonic X Shadow Generations at the end of last year.
Sega also toured around a physical replica of Shadow’s motorcycle Dark Rider and collaborated withLEGOon Shadow-centric sets.
So what if Shadow the Hedgehog was panned at the time?
So what if it has little chance of holding up without some major tweaks?
Why not give it those major tweaks?
Not letting us play this game on modern hardware is not very Year of Shadow of you, Sega!
Well, 20 years later, we know that’s kind of Shadow’s whole deal.
I don’t think Sega needs to mess with the story too much.
Give our boy a gun, and set him loose to shoot and say a few damns.
Shadow’s fans love him for who he is, swears and all.
Though much-memed, offensive-sounding lines like “Disgusting black creatures, get out of my sight!”
might be worth a second look.
The bigger problems with the game centered around its controls, and that’s easy enough to rework.
This cannot be… my destiny!
