This was backported using Unity. He finally comes out with a downloadable demo after a year of silence on his front.

The demo is a way later build than the main game. You won't get the authentic jank with this port.

Anth0ny · Jan 7, 2017

looking forward to jumping back into this classic

Jawmuncher · Jan 7, 2017

That's a lot of work, props to him for doing it.
Even if it's the equivalent of back porting Dino Crisis 3 to PC.

GrayChild · Jan 7, 2017

Would play only if the original loading times are left intact.

I rather play Too Human than this piece of dead rodent shit.

TheCongressman1 · Jan 7, 2017

Props to those guys. Now the game can be the best it can be, which still isn't good at all. Impressive work none the less.

Thought it was impressive to see someone play Sonic 06 without breaking something, then I saw the eye glitch at the very end.

Almost had it. Almost.

Props to Gistix for actually porting the game in the first place.

dickroach · Jan 7, 2017

That actually looks good.
I've only seen Sonic 06 on Game Grumps.

It's an actual demo that Sega put out prior to release that on its own was better made than the full game.

So essentially it was a bulldemo

The demo of sonic 06 is actually better than the actual game.
No joke .

robotrock · Jan 7, 2017

Wow. This is really impressive

NoFaceNico · Jan 7, 2017

This is the game equivalent of a factory that makes fake dog shit.

R10Neymarfan · Jan 7, 2017

Father_Brain said:

Because people really want a PC port of this so badly that Sonic fans decided to take it into their own hands and port it to PC.

Sega isn't ever touching this game again

Thanks for beta testing console people.

Mr. Smiley · Jan 7, 2017

Wait is this that demo that's somehow more polished than the final product?

TimmiT · Jan 7, 2017

Not the first time Sonic 06 fans (which exist for some reason) have attempted to recreate the game on PC, though it's probably the most impressive effort yet. There is also a Sonic Generations mod that ports Sonic 06 levels into the game, and fans have made a 2D recreation of the game as well.

Weirdly enough Sonic 06 has a dedicated fanbase that will heavily defend the game and really wants to see the game be released on PC. I don't get it but good on them for making an effort I guess?

you'd think they would be smart enough to just pretend like it doesn't exist

but no

still got levels in generations (making the final scene all the more hilarious)

Edit:

The most amazing thing about Sonic 06 fangames/remakes is that they have to deliberately capture the janky trashness of the animations and movement in order for it to feel legit

it is so god damn hilarious

Jay RaR · Jan 7, 2017

Sweet. When I get home, I'll try this

NeonBlack · Jan 7, 2017

Next up: Shadow The Hedgehog

Hero_of_the_Day · Jan 7, 2017

After having heard so much about this game, I actually looked for it on Steam a while back and was disappointed to find it never released on PC. Someday, I'll get to see this work of art for myself.

rtcn63 · Jan 7, 2017

Damn you gameinformer super replay

IronicSonic · Jan 7, 2017

I wonder If Sonic's social media has something to say about it

I will try the demo for sure

Backported isn't really the right word for this, but it's still cool.

Elija2 · Jan 7, 2017

...how?

And... why?

Guess Who · Jan 7, 2017

I have mad respect for the amount of effort and quality work put into this, but also, I literally can't imagine any project that would be a worse use of its creator's time than this.

Aeana · Jan 7, 2017

what's the "$ button"

Brenal · Jan 7, 2017

To be fair the level desing(at least of the sonic levels) along with the music are the best parts of 06.

Uhyve · Jan 7, 2017

That demo seriously sold me on the game... I was so hyped. Urgh.

dhonk said:

I spent months programming an engine to run those leaked Sonic Xtreme levels from a while back, before I realized how unfeasible it was. Turned into a dumb level viewer.

I don't understand how does Sonic does this to people, I'm not even that big of a fan. Adventure and the sequel were amazing though, I don't care what anyone says, they just aged badly dammit.

Dario ff · Jan 7, 2017

Not sure if I should be proud or ashamed that I'm on the special thanks for this. (And while I can probably guess what it is for, I actually don't know for sure since I've never been contacted lol)

Pretty much mirrors my thoughts on this.

Zaverious · Jan 7, 2017

Never clicked a download link that fast.

jediyoshi · Jan 7, 2017

This is crazy

What a crazy thing

Poketune · Jan 7, 2017

So after playing the demo, my overall thoughts is that it plays like I remembered Sonic 06 but tolerable. My feelings about the demo:

+Loading times are 2 seconds MAX
+Game seems to run decent enough
+Sonic's controls feel tighter but not perfect
+Game just overall feels faster; like a proper follow up to SA1/SA2 Sonic stages

-Sonic's control still isn't 100% OK with me. He sometimes feels still a little sensitive when doing tricky platforming
-Homing attack feels random in what you'll actually home to
-Sonic still isn't as fast as I'd like him to be plus he accelerates rather slowly
-Hints of slowdown here and there but that could just be my rig

Overall, if some improvements are made and support is kept coming, I think this'll turn into something decent for fans of the Sonic Adventure era gameplay
