My Pitch for Sonic Adventure 3 (And Why the Series Needs it) 

Imagine clicking on an SA3 story pitch, skipping ahead, and the first thing you hear is “Espio sighs and does taxes.”

I just want Sonic to be treated with respect again, instead of a joke...

"we don't take lives, we save them." was such a good line

Silver's psychic knives would be a nice thing to bring back, that way he doesn't have to constantly pick up things to use.

Thank you for giving silver another chance

I'd also like to point out that one act of this pitch did a better war story than all of forces.

Imagine making a fan fiction that is better then some of the official work

Something that frustrates me about the unwillingness to revisit the adventure formula is that it also benefits the DEVELOPERS. The boost formula is cool but extremely creatively restrictive. You can’t do a whole lot with it in terms of level design. The adventure formula is inherently “level focused” and had an emphasis on the player exploring and using the level itself to reach their goals. The devs would have a LOT more variety and creative freedom if they went with the adventure formula again

Even if SA3 never gets made in our lifetimes, this video alone, this godly presentation would leave me satisfied as a definitive game itself., and I am happy that Sonic Adventure 3 *exists* in the form of this 2 hour pitch.

We will most likely never see Shade the Echidna ever again, mainly due to Ken Penders trying to go after Bioware and Sega.

This was such an incredible video. Thank you for making this, it reminds me just why I still continue to believe in Sonic even after all these years

That's an amazing way to reintroduce Shade and a new character in the game without any issue with dealing with Ken Penders

Missed opportunity to make big say want to play go fish instead of just saying cards

This feels like the greatest fanfic I’ve ever experienced. Honestly, you need to make more videos like this one.

the fact that SA3 could save the Sonic franchise singlehandedly is mind blowing, and stressfully crucial.

Y'know, I had an idea: Imagine if Cryona was a child Echidna who just so happened to touch the Snow Sapphire (My attempt at renaming it), and because she had prolonged exposure to it, its power transferred itself to her. Eggman from 2006 (The timeline where 06 never happened) went back in time, to a point where Perfect Chaos already attacked, and found Cryona as one of the survivors. He takes her in the current time, and grooms her to become his "perfect soldier" like Ghetsis did to N.

I mean, the "one of us must die" scene is a perfect example of Sonic being Sonic. He defies the odds every time when they're stacked against him. I'd say nothing wrong with it!

you are criminally underrated.

You had me at no 2d stages.

I really don’t get why people seem to ignore how SA2 proved there’s a way to have many playable characters without bloating the number of playstyles. Glad you factored that in by having “skins” for each of the playstyles. I honestly don’t care if Blaze is just a sonic clone with none of her fire abilities or if Omega is treated like a living organism in terms of water and stuff, I just want to play as them again! I do think the having every character be able to play every stage is way too ambitious though. Sounds like a great avenue for fan modding if the base game is designed in an easy-to-mod way.

I'm actually crying at that moment with Knuckles, Shade and Rouge all talking together. This entire story was incredible!

Bruh I teared up a bit. I played the adventure games only a couple of weeks ago and I fell in love with the franchise again after many years and I would love your SA3 pitch to actually become a real game (or at least something similar bc of the whole situation with Penders and stuff) and of course polishing some details. Like I forgot how much joy this franchise gave me. Your video needs more views seriously you're criminally underrated.

Those last 20 minutes of the video is just... Wow. You took the words straight from my mouth and i can’t describe how cathartic it felt to see someone else who understands the soul of sonic and what he means to me

It's a "Dystopia" if it's a utopia(gone wrong), like if it's one type of person's idea of a paradise but it's awful for another type of person. Silver and Blaze's future is "Post-Apocalyptic", because the apocalypse already happened. Excellent video! SEGA should hire you.

Whisper instead of the avatar makes loads of sense. Uses hover to hover, lazer for shooting,and stuff

Come back When you have a stray dog. And money. Keep that joke in the rewrites. That was great.

I almost cried the first time I saw this. This is just a masterpiece right here, this guy needs more attention.

That was beautiful, I really love the story you crafted. Cryona is a great OC, and the fact that you incorporate a few ideas from existing canon is great, like introducing another gemstone with a unique power, like the Phantom Ruby or Warp Topaz.

26:18 "The Avatar will have a pretty small role in the plot." *Literally has only one solo stage.* *Gets frozen half to death* *Gets overrun by robots and have to have Omega save their tails* Yeah, that checks out...

“Did you have to run really fast past a post?” These are the good type of jokes I wanna see.

Ok, ok. I’ve finally gotten to watching this whole thing and can I just say it is so comforting to find someone who still cares so much about the Sonic series, every part of it. I especially appreciated the emphasis on the story - it may have been bare bones but I loved it all the same. These characters have made such a huge impact on me and I love them to pieces. You respect all of them so well. I hope that Sonic Team realizes that they just can’t please everyone and focus on making what they want to make.

Even if something like this doesn't come to fruition, I'd love to see this story realized as a fan creation!

“Did you guys have to run really fast past a sign post” I just imagine Blaze and Silver look at Sonic like he’s the crazy one

Sonic Team: Nah we got something better at home Sonic Team House: SOnIc fOrCeS 2

You really nailed everything that makes Sonic so wonderful. Thanks for the effort and the genuine passion.

Want to know my favorite line in this video? "Shadow chuckles, 'I guess some things never change.'" XD

I'm not head over heels for the story pitch, since I feel like its juggling too many plot lines and not giving any of them enough attention. It's a self-admittedly unrefined story, but I feel like that'd be the case no matter how much it was fleshed out. Silver, for example, ends up being about as auxiliary as Blaze is in '06, so I think that in theory, both characters are better served by starring in their own stories instead of competing for relevance in that way. I enjoyed the video though, and there are definitely good moments, like Shadow's attempted sacrifice, and I really like the idea of Angel Island bring permanently grounded now that Chaos is gone.

someone send this to SEGA

Even if we don’t get a SA3, I think Sega has finally learned their lesson. With them hiring Ian Flynn, retconning two worlds, and not doing memes as much anymore. Some may call me gullible, and I’ll admit things could still go wrong, but things are finally looking up.

34:30 an idea to augment this flashback even more effectively: Maybe have this scene play as you idle on the start screen, sort of like the prologue of the first 2 Paper Mario games. It settles one last unanswered question about the SA games (that being what has even happened to the Master Emerald since 2001) and can serve as foreshadowing for the future Knuckles is in for.

Everyone: Who tf is Shade? Me, who played Dark Chronicles: . . . Lol, but tbh, I feel like Shade is a bit too obscure to include in this game...at least not without some form of explanation of who she is and why she's here.

"sonic chuckles..." my brain: "i'd rather flex my muscles"

This is a GREAT pitch, honestly! The writing for the characters, Shadow and the Chaotix in particular, are fantastic. This actually inspires me to finally make my own pitch for a Sonic game.

I really hope they can build upon the world of Sonic Unleashed. Sega put an insane amount of love into those parts of the world. I’d love to explore Chun-Nan as Blaze during a fireworks festival at night or Cream in Empire City as she gazes down upon the city from the roof of a skyscraper.

I just watched a 2 hour game AD FREE and loved it all

Honestly, Big's story isn't the one I think needs to be improved the most: I think it's Amy's. She only got three levels - fewer than Big - and they could have done more with her. At the very least, I think they could have padded on a couple more levels. For instance, the area in Station Square where Zero first arrives in a cut scene is close to one of the entrances to Speed Highway. So Amy could have done the first level there before even meeting up with Sonic. Or switch things around so her escape from the Egg Carrier takes her through Sky Deck - and she enters Hot Shelter later when searching for Birdy's family.

I know I'm kind of a year late, but this was an amazing pitch and the final segment was very thought-provoking. Wonderful job!

“Wait, how did they build a ski lodge in a week?”

This made me smile a lot and reminded me of the IDW comics. For an actual SA3 it’s maybe a little fanficy, but the game play and main story points are 100% fire

The fact that he does the voices and everything shows just how passionate he is, I love it

I'm just stumbling across this video and I have to say. As a long time sonic fan I long for the days of good story telling in a sonic game. Games like Unleashed, Secret Rings, Black Knights, and even 06 to an extent all TRIED to convince you of the story they were telling. Forces doesn't even try to fo that. Some of the best moments of storytelling from Forces were the teaser trailers before the game came out. The way they introduced us to Infinite before launch was the best part of the hype going into Forces. The quick shot with all the villains, his theme being an absolute banger, and his up to par voice acting made him seem like the next big bad guy...then forces dropped and the rest is history. If Sega doesn't see this then I hope some Independent developer does and makes a fan game better than any game post Generations (Mania Excluded). Love the vid.

This was in my recommendations and I was so happy that I clicked and watched. I love your story pitch and choice of multiple characters playing a role and I love that Kunckles plays a major role in the game.

I just watched the entire video I went from being interested in the gameplay to absolutely hooked up with the narrative to thrilled with the music and in complete agreement with the franchise reputation The gameplay, i couldn't have imagined it any better, the game just sounds so fun and innovative with the combat mode, i'm all for it The music, man..... Just... I love this fanbase And about the story, i can see why some would not like to retcon everything post SA2 That would mean: No Team Dark No Sol Dimension and Sol Emeralds No Neo Metal Sonic No Black Arms And No Light and Dark Gaia But.... You mentioned this game as a turning point, all the other games Pre Lost World shouldn't be retconed In AL The Boi's latest video (Why Sonic Unleashed Opening Works) i commented about how i would connect the whole series from Sonic 1 to Unleashed (he even responded, the dude is awesome) i would rewrite Shadow's game and all that but your pitch for SA3 would fill perfectly in between SA2 and Heroes (or continue with that cliffhanger from the future) Being said all that I LOVE YOUR HISTORY The characters are on point, and it connects so smoothly with SA and SA2 I love the cohesion with starting at Ice Cap setting the Chill narrative and foreshadowing with the question of "why it's always cold there?", it feels like world building not for nostalgia sake Things that i love: - That Angel Island is now on the sea, everything makes sense with Chaos at peace - That you included humans in the story - The way the conflict begins - The Chaotix just being themselves - The interactions between characters - Shadow's lack of amnesia and that you continued his arc and personality of SA2 - The new introductions of Omega - Shade - Blaze - Silver - Cream - The Chaotix and The avatar, wow i was just thinking of leaving the concept but you conviced me that is worth the try - Charmy playing Jet Set Radio, that would be a great gag with every game, Charmy just playing other SEGA games - Crayona, her story and character just sounds great (the Silent Saphire just works so well) - The way the story it's structured, with a linear story (the DLC sounds lit) the set of groups, the conversations, the locations, during the story part i was getting chills after chills for the Grand Adventure feel - The Kajus are neat and all but, having another animal character as the final boss, i mean, were you reading my mind? - The ending, man i couldn't help but to smile as i was listening, it's just perfect - The serious tone but with charm Now... I did feel that Silver was underutilized, but i mean with everyone shining this much someone had to pay a little, but it isn't something that sequels couldn't improve (check AL The Boi's vídeo on Silver) And at some point i was like "oh yeah, the avatar" but i don't see that as a problem, nobody wants such a good cast being overshadow by a custom character After the story ended i was like "man now they can make a Blaze and Silver game", like, they can use the Time Stones and maybe with time travel there can be a Mephiles Also there can be a game for only Team Chaotix as an open world You make wish for the future of the franchise with that ending You put the bases for a great sequel: Fix, Expand and Preserve Seriously man i love the video and if we ever get SA3 i want this video to be the mold Sorry for my English Grettings from México

This is the among my favorite videos I've seen across all my years on this website. Thank you. P.S, you have an unironically really good Shadow and Knuckles voice.

just got this in my recommended while studying, very relaxing voice, good content, too. Thanks!

I am unreasonably happy that Amy knowingly gave Shadow a hug and he was okay with it Also losing it over the Chaotix doing taxes and Eggman bEING MANIPULATIVE AYYO OH MY GOD CREAM BEING A HERO ON HER OWN IS SO CUTE LET'S GOOOO OH GOD I'M JUST PROCESSING THAT EGGMAN HEARD THE ENTIRE SPEECH ABOUT HOW TO ACTIVATE THE MASTER EMERALD Like I forgot that whole scene that the ant-bot was there until the end and hfgidukgd "We don't take lives, we save them." AYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

When the video ended, I sat for nearly 5 whole minutes in silence... Dude, that was incredible. I don't really know what to say that describes this other than: "wow" and "that was a masterpiece" In truth: I started this channel because I as well as many others that tapped out of the franchise have come back because fans like you, like Christian Whitehead, and even the youtubers who role play as Sonic characters (Tails and Sonic Pals etc) continue to express their love and passion for Sonic and thus kept the franchise alive, relevant and even helped it rise in popularity. At this time especially after the success of the movie, I have newfound love for the franchise that I haven't felt in years, and because of that I really want Sonic to be a respectable franchise again. Your video brings hope for that because it made me fully rediscover why I loved Sonic in the first place. *Thank you!*

Such a beautiful video and i totally agree with the fact that Sonic is now seen as a joke to a point to be bullied several times just because i like Sonic. i really hope someone at SEGA watches this video, not because i want an your SA3 (even if i really like your ideas) but just so that SEGA understand that us Sonic fans are tired of Sonic being a joke.Thanks for this great video

I’m so impressed! I would draw a story board in comic format based off this story

Amazing video. Another thing I think everyone should consider with the SA3 concept are technical gameplay qualities regarding movement, I feel like no one ever thinks about nor mentions it, but the quality of this is really one of the most important things. What I mean are things like how characters simply control and move. Characters in SA2, for example, feel like they have a weight to them, yet a real snappy and responsive feeling to them when we turn and move around. The animations that characters have also reinforce the feeling in many ways, like how their feet movement match the distance and speed they are actually moving, their steps feel like real steps from slow take-off to slowing down when letting go of the control stick. That's something I dread in about every game since SA2, where you'll see sonic basically scroll forward with his steps not matching the ground as he starts to walk/run. Mid-run animations are also more aggressive and it feels right when Sonic and Shadow reach top speed. This has become very cheap in later games where it'll seem like sonic's legs should be moving faster for his speed, and he should be shaking more and bumping up and down from how fast he would be taking his steps (also give back Shadows inline skating animation and scrap the little girl skating her socks on wood floor one lmao). Summersalts also are very subtle in how they're done well in SA2, it's hard to recognize it. Characters don't necesarily just crunch up in to a little ball until they hit the ground, they actually perform a visible summersalt action where they'll ease in to the falling animation after reaching the height of the jump. Then there are little cool things like Sonic/Shadow's spine's bouncing and settling after landing from a jump AKA Rouge's boob physics. Small technical things like these go a long way and will definitely enhance other things like momentum and character physics, and they were done very well already with SA2. Overall, SA3 should definitely go all the way back to SA2's qualities regarding movement and character animation, and simply refine them from there, which it wouldn't really need much.

Wow. Just wow. This was an amazing video. I can tell just how much heart went into this. 2 HOURS! And I sat here and watched it all. You've gained a subscriber my friend, and I hope to see more from you. But I want to offer my own thoughts about the whole thing. For one, you have the exact same idea as me. Remaking Adventure 1 and 2 and then soft-rebooting the franchise with Adventure 3. Now for me I've also entertained the idea of remaking Heroes as well, for one just so we have a trilogy just like Spyro and Crash did, but also because story inconsistencies didn't start happened until Shadow the Hedgehog, what with the moon, Shadow's entire character, and some story beats like the president having a picture of Sonic and Shadow like when??? I also wanted to do that because then the only characters you'd have to reboot would be Blaze and Silver as opposed to all of the Chaotix, Cream, and Omega. I know people bring up the idea of Shadow the Hedgehog being needed to follow up Heroes but honestly that game didn't need to exist. Shadow's arc ended just fine in Heroes and having that loose plot-thread of just what this Shadow was could have been something ambigous that was never answered and left up into interpretation, but I digress. One thing I really liked was your idea on gameplay. Making them all have the same speed is a great start and should always be the case for multiple playable characters in 3D Sonic imo, also wouldn't lead to the problem with the multiple playable characters we had in 06 where they played way too different than each other. I like the ideas presented in how the gameplay styles work and the idea of being able to choose who you play as in each style a la Brawl is pretty genius. The playable character selection itself is pretty perfect. I like the fact that you're not as apprehensive to the Avatar since I know a lot of fans that don't give Forces credit for anything. My only problem is Shade, just because Sega isn't allowed to use her because of Ken Penders being his horrid self, so you'd have to change her to a completely new character entirely unfortunately. The story is where I start to have problems. It's not bad at all mind you, easily better than anything we got after Black Knight and there are things I do like. One is Angel Island staying down which gives Knuckles the perfect reason to go along with Sonic and co. without any difficulties. I also do like how you go against the whole Two Worlds canon thing that Iizuka brought up. I'm not as hateful of it as other Sonic fans are (go watch Sega Scourge's 2 videos on two worlds I think he does a great job defending it), but I much more prefer them being on a singular world. Another is just basically how you represented the charcaters, writing wise they all are on point. I particularly like your point on Sonic, not sure if you've watched it but a youtuber by the name TotallyNotMark did a video on the character Goku from Dragonball and how he represents the flat character arc. It's a lot to describe but he essentially talks about what you have in mind for Sonic. And I absolutely love what you did with Shadow. My problem with the story is just that I don't think it's as action packed as SA1, 2's, and Unleashed's stories. I know this is probably because you're not an expert in the field, you even say that in the video but in terms of scale it doesn't compare. I also don't like how some characters feel irrelevant, Amy and especially Silver don't really do much (I basically had the same issue with Amy in SA2). Silver really just feels like an accesory to Blaze even more so than Blaze felt like an accessory to Silver in 06 because at least in 06, Blaze had the plot relevance of sacrificing herself by sealing the flames of disaster inside of her. I also don't like the catalyst of Charmy being kidnapped either. I know you need a reason for the Heroes to have to give Eggman the Chaos Emeralds but it essentially feels like the same exact thing that happened in SA2 when Eggman was threatening to shoot Amy which I feel was much better done in that instance. So I do think that some rewrites are necessary but I think this premise does have merit to it. I really do love the music segment you had. I dunno but there's something about this fandom that's magical. You mentioned so many fan videos (which most of which I have watched lol), showed fan games, and had the idea of throwing in fan covers/remixes of character themes which I think is a perfect alternative, it's just so crazy to me how dedicated this fan base is. Those last points you made, I honestly couldn't agree with you more. Sonic Mania succeeded because it had a clear goal and focus. Forces had no focus and wanted to do some of everything without being good at any of it. The franchise has lost its identity and it's unfortunate to see. It needs that drive again and it's entirely in the realm of reality. I don't trust Sonic Team to make these games anymore, it's sad but after what happened with Forces I think we need to give this to a team of expereinced developers (like Vicarious did with Crash and Spyro). Give them a budget (the last Sonic game that had a budget was Sonic Unleashed and that was over a decade ago). Get experienced writers (kick Pontaff out, either bring back Maekawa, bring in experienced writers and have them familiarize themselves with the series, or get Ian Flynn and/or Evan Stanley, two fans that have written for the comics and have established themselves as trustworthy of taken up a mainline story). And that's it. It doesn't have to be Adventure 3, I don't care. I just want a Sonic game that is to the level of Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey. Like you said, "Is it probable? Maybe not. But is it possible? Absolutely.". Okay woah super long comment, I'm sorry. But I'm just as passionate about this franchise as you are so I had to get my complete thoughts out there. Once again, amazing video dude. I'm happy I was able to randomly stumble into it by browsing the subreddit lol. Keep up the great work and I'd love to see you make more stuff. Whatever the next Sonic game will be, let's hope it'll be good.

I would cry tears of joy when something similar to this becomes the 30th anniversary game!

I would love to play this game, this idea has so much potential.

I really like it when Shadow says "Charmy needs Us".. Deep inside he cares about all his friends.

This is horrendously underrated

Why is this not a fangame? You illegally to underrated.

Man I love the visual demonstrations in this video! They're so well-applied! Bravo🙌

The Shadow and Sonic ending is adorable. I love it. Even if it’s not necessarily a perfect story, it’s still filled with passion, and I love it. ^w^

it almost felt like i was playing the game watching this. beautiful work

"They were scared *punching sound*less" Best censor noise ever

You know a video is good when you come back to it from time to time

Holy crap, this is such an amazing video. Like, I'm seriously impressed by how much effort was put into this. I can only imagine the kind of time this must have taken. Everything about this is so well thought out. Your story is really cool (a lot better than the stories in the real Adventure games IMO). You captured the characters so well. The gameplay and everything else also had a serious amount of depth put into it that was just incredible. I'd absolutely love to see more videos like this, hearing your take on other sonic games, or maybe other video game series.

I agree, speed stages need to emphasize skill rather than just speed alone.

Dawg, the beginning of the story is so funny. Sonic choking on a chili dog, Knuckles staring at Shade, Omega pointing at Tails “You..!” dawg this is the good food

I'm actually writing my own script for SA3. Only difference is I have Amy as the third main character. She gets a major makeover is no longer a one-track minded helpless character but a fighting, independent hedgehog who can match might for might with the familiar two

6:15 RIP Vicarious Visions lmao. Literally just announced that they were swallowed whole by Blizzard and will only be helping them develop Blizzard properties from now on. You will be missed.

This is one of the best sonic videos I have ever seen in my RU-vid recommendations. Watching kinda felt like a movie in a way and it was great.

This would be the SICKEST sonic adventure game ever. The story is well thought out and respectfully uses all the characters.

The comedy from the chaotix is just perfect. And another dlc could be a map of the skiing place at the beginning with races and collectibles in there

Your video legit inspired me to start putting together my own concept for SA3, and it’s been so much fun! What an amazing video, hope we get an actual SA3 eventually.

You....You actually made me almost cry. This was awesome to watch. The passion, the play, and the confidence in how this franchise can be amazing is just so heart warming. I loved it, every bit of this, and how Sonic works. Sonic is my childhood! And I will never forget or give up hope on it gaining the love it deserves, and the passion it will regain!

Hello Lightning2153, I watched your pitch for Sonic Adventure 3. I appreciate the time and effort that you spent on creating a pitch for a new game that contains the same appeal of the original Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2. I'm impressed by how well you managed to take the concepts of the original 2 and create the concept for a new game from it. I would like to discuss your pitch with you in more detail if possible. I'm interested in helping revise and refine your ideas. I would like to see them become a reality. If you're ever interested in making this into a fangame, let me know. I'm willing to contribute. My primary strengths are in game design, programming, and level design, but I have some basic experience in software engineering, modeling, illustration, animation, spriting, writing, sound design, and musical composition.

You won yourself a sub,you deserved,thx and congratulations for making such a masterpiece of a video

I always come back to this video every now and then and the final part of the video got me thinking about how I'd love to hear your take on frontiers

The main things I like from this after watching it a few times: Music choices - They were all amazing if not perfect, special shout out to chosen one and this machine. Characters - I liked how all the characters feel like the characters from the games they were made in, such as shadow, Chaotix and Blaze, and the development of each one was great. Gameplay - I truly do appreciate you telling us the controls and even giving each character types like in sonic heroes, but still be able to make each characters fight in any stage. I love sonic heroes so I love this. Rivalry - One thing that stuck with me that there was subtle hints of sonic and shadow rivalry, such as the ending, the debating to sacrafice and other little parts you can see if you rewatch. And I'm glad it's not about who's better, its about fun which shadow should try more often. No classic sonic or stages - Although I don't hate 2.5 sections on their own, I do feel like they limit the games potential, so thankfully he decided not to add that. World building - One thing that the adventure games did well was world building, and parts in this such as the Chaotix and Angel Island show their can be world building. Silver and Blaze - Although Silver wasn't in the front as much as I would have liked him to be, I still think that his character was still great and he represented hope very well, plus the time travel wasn't complicated as it could've been. Crayona - Crayola-- I mean Crayona was a great character, good motivation and believable villain, plus a super ice god was a nice touch, no pun intended. I just wanna say thank you for making this, although I wasn't a massive Adventure fan before I played sonic adventure 2 a few months ago, I like the elements you brought in to make this great, I love everything about it (especially shadow). I might edit this after watching the video a few more times, but for now this is what I can think of and I truly loved your video.

Okay I've gotta admit that I was expecting to hear an awful fanfiction coming into this video but I was curious because it's been awhile since I've heard someone talk about an idea for Sonic Adventure 3 and I figured why not give this a watch? I'm glad I took the chance because I've gotta be honest, this actually wasn't that bad of a pitch at all. The thing I liked most about it is how you handled the main characters in the story because it felt like it was an ACTUAL progression of the characters what with having a more confident and take charge Amy Rose while still retaining her sweetness, Knuckles semi-withdrawn personality trying to adjust to life away from Angel Island and into civilization, Shadow being a little more open and less angst-ridden letting his guard down just a bit (definitely enjoyed this take compared to what we actually got in canon...), and Tails actually retaining his smarts and self-realized confidence (and how he got a little too carried away trying to inspire Cream when she wasn't ready in your story). You clearly know how the characters work, at least pre Sonic Adventure 2 before they got all weird and off course... I will admit that your character Cryona was a bit... Well I dunno but I do get the idea and it would be interesting. I also like how you incorporated Shade into the story, I didn't play Sonic Brotherhood (and frankly never will) but her story seemed plausible, especially with her getting to know Knuckles. It isn't perfect but it kept my attention and I can see it working with a few tweaks and refining. Only thing I would hope is they for the love of the holy spirit, bring Ryan Drummond back one last time to voice the blue blur if they do plan on making a Sonic Adventure 3. The man loved the role and he can still do the voice so it'd be great to see him reprise Sonic one more time. Anyway great video, I could definitely feel you put a lot of effort and passion into this. At the end of the day if they ever consider making a SA3, they need to do what they did with Mania. Enlist help & feedback from people who KNOW Sonic Adventure in the same way they enlisted feedback and help from classic Sonic fans for Mania. Do this and I'm sure it'll turn out just as good as SA2 was.

Amazing.The story was so SONIC and so memorable I almost got teared up when Shadow got saved.You gained a subscriber! It seems like a very hardcore and implausible idea,but a great idea nonethe less.Hopefully one day a game even half as good as this will come up!

Amazing concept! I would like a scene where charmy asks crayona why she is doing what she is doing, and a scene where tails says he’s proud of cream after she defeats the bird would be cool too. Other than that well done

As for Sonic himself having an arc, ya know like how the Archie Comics, the Fleetway Comics, Sonic Underground, and even the Sonic movie gave Sonic a backstory? Well I’ve always wanted for Sonic to have a backstory within the game continuity as to how he came to be the fastest thing alive, and just overall how he became the character that we know him to be. And yes, a mainline 3D game of that sort.

AMAZING!! I went from " i aint watching this 2 hour video" to finishing it fully. the heart that went to this, someone who truly believes in SA3!! i love it. sadly, this is next to impossible. Sega and sonic team will never put their all into Sa3 because they've forgotten what makes it special. thank you for this.

I love that he mentioned Bayonetta because for me that game has the best combat system while mantaining momentum and the game actually rewards you for doing it right

this video never gets old its a great idea and everything

@2:06:06 Oh, dude. I totally feel your pain. I’m so sick of that ugly “SANIC” meme. Not only was there a SANIC shirt in Sonic Forces, but that stupid meme even made it into the Sonic movie.

This feels like a sonic mania for the modern era it’s just amazing and the story or fan fiction was beautiful I could see this as an actual sonic game or a fan game either way it’s great

so... this video is ridiculously incredible. i've been a huge fan of blaze since rush and for her to have such a huge role in this when she was sorta sidelined in 06 did my heart so good

Love the pitch dude. This story would be amazing. I feel at the end, there should be a flashback, maybe a quick 5 to 10 second image of Shadow falling. That promts Sonic even more. And it should be the only time you can boost in story. Replacing the spin dash and that should be unlocked as a switch move for the spin dash. Basically the boost you get is seen in the HD models pack on Sonic Adventure 2 PC mods.

Oh man, finally someone acknowledges Chosen One as a great theme for Shadow!

I have no idea why but I love watching the beginning and ending part of the video after watching the whole 2 hour long video. I just like hearing your thoughts about sonic and how, compared to mine, are similar and reminding me why I love the adventure games and the sonic franchise. Your description of your thoughts are so well put and i just enjoy listening to it.

This is the true Sonic Adventure 3! It would be interesting. You know, the epilogue is very bittersweet. Blaze and Silver save their future, but as a result the people they knew personally, has no memories of them. They rewrote time, and the frozen world never happened. What will become of those two is now a mystery

I was mostly using this as a white noise video for me to watch as I am writing a dnd story based off of poke,on ranger. The Cream Scene where she comes back (where I am rn) honestly made me choke up and get a bit teary eyed. That’s good story telling when you can get someone invested like that when they’re half paying attention
