Sonic Heroes, Next Gen, & Unleashed are NOT Sonic Adventure 3!!! Here's Why... | Sonic Adventure 3

Here are the reasons why Sonic Heroes, Next Gen, & Unleashed are NOT Sonic Adventure 3.
Also, please do not witch-hunt the people who were trying to convince me that one of the Sonic games were Sonic Adventure 3 or the people who believe that Sonic Next Gen is not a reboot. Thank you.

@14:40 - 14:59 HOLY SHIT!!! I WAS RIGHT!!! www.polygon.com/2017/9/19/16333174/sonic-adventure-3-will-never-happen “If we can get the gameplay to evolve and get to a place where Adventure 3 makes sense, then you might see an Adventure 3 come out,” said Iizuka. “But we don’t want to take the entire series back to where it was just make people happy. We want to advance the idea of what a Sonic game is.” Umm...Sonic 4? Sonic Generations? Sonic Mania? Classic Sonic shoehorned in Sonic Forces? Only wants classic stages in Sonic Mania? :/ Is Iizuka for real? The fact that he is not self aware is hilarious XD!

[@MobCrusher]

Pentacle Dilation Multi-Platform Entertainment Being really honest I don't want a Sonic Adventure 3, we don't need one actually. I think the reason many people want Sonic Adventure 3 is because they want the Adventure gameplay style back, so here's a pretty simple idea; Sega can make a new game using the Adventure gameplay style, it doesn't have to be a sequel to Sonic Adventure, unless Sega doesn't really want to bring it back

[@critiqueonmediaarts9937]

I completely understand your point, but let's be real : Sonic 06 is the closest thing to Sonic Adventure 3 we'll ever get.

[@HYPERxSONICxFANx2012]

That is very true

[@raiden5able]

i fully agree

[@F4zN_Tundra]

Yep and not a re-boot xD

[@fxgspartan1231]

Sonic 06 was meant to be like a Sonic Adventure game, however it was placed into another series due to Sega wanting to reboot the series. If Sonic 06 was good then the adventure like norm for sonic story would remain, and the modern games would remain better these days.

[@toniosoflyy]

Sonic 06 wasn't really a reboot, but it wasn't SA3 either. No chao garden, no gameplay variety between characters, and no whimsy in the story at all. It's the closest we've got, but it's not quite there.

[@InklingRacer456]

Evan Ur true but regardless Sonic 06 is practically sonic Adventure 3 it has a lot in common with the Adventure series than people think

[@joeylarosa698]

+InklingRacer Brawler I like to think of it as a spiritual successor, like what Sonic Rush was to Sonic Advance. Not the same, but a lot of similarities.

[@InklingRacer456]

Evan Ur I mean you’re not wrong

[@joeylarosa698]

+InklingRacer Brawler Give it about a decade, and they'll make an Adventure 3 for nostalgia pandering, I almost guarantee it.

[@STikER326]

As I always say, though Sonic '06 is not Sonic Adventure 3, it's the closest thing to SA3 we'll ever get.

[@mr.retrospective5433]

Thanks for backing up why the three games mentioned don't cut it as SA3. Although, we don't need an Adventure successor to bear the "3" necessarily, like how Mania doesn't bear the "4". Also, Generations can qualify as non-canon. We'll see what Forces brings to the table.

[@Lets_Get_Scratchin]

Mr. Retrospective maybe like sonic: re-live the adventure?

[@diamondinthesky4771]

If Sega still made consoles somehow, I like to imagine that a "Sonic Adventure" game would be sort of a tradition they do whenever they launch a new console. To be honest, it really just kinda feels wrong to have SA3 after Sega is not making hardware anymore. It's like Sega was gearing up to have it's next big trilogy, but then it just abruptly stopped when the reality of having to discontinue hit. If the Dreamcast never failed, I have no doubt we'd have a Dreamcast trilogy as a spiritual successor to the Genesis trilogy.

[@mayonnaiz-7990]

Liked that you called 06' "Next Gen". Gives it a better reputation and sounds better since it actually (was) the next gen game

[@Everik-ct6pg]

Adventure 3 will have the same fate as Half-Life³ Also, Unleashed WAS actually supposed to be Adventure 3, but it was so different from the Adventure series that they decided to change it

[@Axxidous]

I also doubt that anyone just wants them to MAKE Sonic Adventure 3. Obviously we want them to make it good. I feel like saying "Sonic Adventure 3" is implication that we mean we want it to be good. So, yes, I DO hope they make Sonic Adventure 3 someday. I don't mean I hope they make it, fucked up or not, I mean I hope they make it and make it good! xD I would like to see that someday. Yes. I want to see SA3, in glory. To avoid any confusion, that's me saying it'd be cool to see a cool game called Sonic Adventure 3, fitting of the title, and a good game. Someday. Hopefully. Less likely but still possible.

[@Axxidous]

I think he meant that the characters had amnesia after 06 (as expressed by Elise who feels something familiar but isn't sure what. It's common for characters to have amnesia after time travel adventures end)

[@quent.inhood]

Yeah! We ALL know Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric is the real SA3... right? Right? I'll just go now...

[@BugsTheRabbit2435]

[@SeleDreams]

[@barkbuck5521]

Wow I didn't think so many people didn't know 06 was a reboot. Though, thinking about it now I can see why. As much as I would love an SA3, it'll never actually live up to expectations, especially with the way the games are being made now. I think they could very successfully get away with a stand alone Chao garden though.

[@garykleiman2456]

Super knuckles was still canon, then super tails came back in mania, hyper knuckles isn't canon as u said

[@uconker8120]

Sonic Adventure 3 must lead on from 2 so story wise it must be similar or have points of similarities in both meaning that SA3 would be best described as Shadow The Hedgehog.

[@theultimateedgeformshadowt6945]

uConker it also uses same locations and has a dark and serious story

[@AshkarBehek0]

Except that SA1 really doesn't lead up to 2 all that much, to be honest. I really don't think that linking the stories together matters as long as it shares gameplay and other stuff.

[@theultimateedgeformshadowt6945]

Frank22222 On the ark you fight artificial chaoses and the biolizard was based on chaos so there are connections knuckles also uses tikal's chant on the ark to cancel the chaos emeralds power so there are links in the story of SA1 and SA2

[@AkariAkaza72]

And let's not forget that tails had an emerald from the last game

[@realer2748]

[@LuucasIckie]

Thanks for this vid!!! I never believed Sonic Heroes, 06 or Unleashed was an Adventure 3! Everytime i was going to say to some Sonic Fan "i want an Adventure 3" and they say "it already exist, it is (name of some of this games)" I think the same thing as you, no Chao Gardens, History, Different Formula, Reboot, it WAS to be called SA3, etc. I love Sonic Unleashed and Heroes as their own games, and I love Adventure Series Too much to simply think "SA3 already exist". This games not even has "SA3" on titles! Sonic 06 just has not sufficient time to be good, they make a quick game, so it can't be a SA3. I already said that to one of my friends and he said "Stop Dreaming high. SA3 will never happen, Sonic 2006 it's an SA3, Heroes it's an SA2.5". lol SEGA really doesn't even care about the canon, in the Ending of Sonic 06 Sonic and Elise put out the Solaris' flame and the game re-start, but Eggman does not appears and Sonic never met Elise. It is a Reboot and the game deleted itself. It's the Same Thing About "two Worlds", Takashi Iizuka said Sonic's World and "Human's World" are different planets, it doesn't make any sense at all. I know this video it's 3 years old, and SA3 probably will not happens, but I find it now and i still thinking Heroes, 06 and Unleashed are not SA3, and I have to comment this, Thx

[@SuperPiposaru]

Aw yeah! This video is happenin'!

[@billysbrother6047]

Technically SA3 already exists. and i'm not talking about the advance games. SA2 is the real SA3 because sonic shuffle comes after SA1.

[@kensukefan47]

Bruh

[@promiseomiponle810]

I don’t think the right question for why 06 is a reboot would be why crisis city is in generations, although that question can definitely be asked in regards to the events of 06 having been erased at the end of the game. It would make more sense to ask why stages from games before 06 appeared in generations. At the end of the day, like you said, SEGA really doesn’t give a shit about a canon and continuity lmfao

[@joshiba-yj8qn]

Did you forget that crush 40 did a version his world in sonic 06?

[@elbacarrera3615]

After shadows’s fall in sa2 the dark story in sh opinions w/shadow is in green glass

[@justinriffey3068]

Why do people call these games adventure 3 if it was sa3 then why don't they call it that

[@mheijink]

I was there when Sega released Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 originally on Dreamcast. I had both games for that system. Then at a sudden those two games were released on GameCube. If you compare the gameplay of those two games you can clearly see that Sega wanted to change the series into a more action paced game experience to get already the attention of the mainstream audience. Then not much later we got Sonic Heroes. Unlike these days where we have a lot of spin offs reboots, remakes etc, in those days in gaming there was barely no spin offs or reboots at all. So right after Sonic Adventure 2 we got Sonic Heroes and the gameplay was more action oriented than Sonic Adventure 2. For me Sonic Heroes will always be the spiritual "Sonic Adventure 3" But because the gameplay of the series has changed so much started with Sonic Adventure 2, you just can't put "Adventure" in to the title of that third game. When I played Sonic Heroes for the first time on GameCube in 2004 you could genuinely feel that the game has its roots with its Adventure heritage. To conclude : Yes, officially there is no Sonic Adventure 3. The series changed a lot those days. But for me and probably for lots of others as well, especially when you were there in those days, Sonic Heroes felt as a follow up of the adventure games. And if you are looking how the gameplay changed from SA1 to Sonic Heroes you will definitely see a change in gameplay. From a total Adventure play into an action team game play.

[@75JUNAKI]

Sonic Heroes and Shadow The Hedgehog actually continued the story of Sonic a adventure 2 unlike with Sonic The Hedgehog 2006, but that doesn’t make them Sonic Adventure 3 and Adventure 4. Sonic The Hedgehog 2006 is copying Sonic Adventure 1 (not 2) and if it’s called Sonic Adventure 3 then Colors, Generations and Forces should be World Adventure 2, 3 and 4 since they continue the boost formula. - Sonic World Adventure Sonic and Sonic Wolfhog - Sonic World Adventure 2 Sonic and Wisp - Sonic World Adventure 3 Sonic and Classy Sonic - Sonic World Adventure 4 Sonic, Classy Sonic and The Avatar See what I mean If there was a Sonic Adventure 3 then it should take place before Heroes so there. - No Shadow, Omega, Silver, Blaze ect ect. I no longer believe Sonic World Adventure is Adventure 3 because it has the boost as the gameplay.

[@VictoryReviews]

06 and Unleashed were literally made as sequeals Unleashed is completely different I'll give you that But 06 plays just like adventure

[@levlev4048]

I see your points, I understand, but still think sonic unleashed is sa3.

[@ascripter]

I ain't gon lie, every sonic game that be getting released now feels like a reboot 😭😭😭 just not good ones

[@TheShadowspear2]

I think you meant to say Sonic 06 is a Soft Reboot. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequel#Soft_reboot

[@InklingRacer456]

1:28 I will tell you why 06 is Sonic Adventure 3 because it’s has THE most common with the sonic Adventure series than any game in the franchise and I’m amazed how you and many many people and KZbinrs didn’t make the connection in the end of the world level you play as everyone (except for sonic and blaze), in the Final level for sa2 you play as everyone in hero story and dark story (except for shadow) in one scene The egg carrier appears in souliama (correct my spelling if Im wrong) and Amy sees it and in sa1 the egg carrier appears and Amy sees it in Station Square. I know in your opinion you may not agree with this and I respect that but trust me Sonic 06 has a lot in common to the Adventure series than meets the eye

[@InklingRacer456]

You're right but it's perfect for that title plus haven't people forgotten that 06 is actually called Sonic The Hedgehog

[@naomimontanez8273]

InklingRacerBrawler it's not worthy of the title and later on in the video he proves it's a reboot clearly. I will say this though. It's the closest to adventure 3 we will ever be getting. Aaaand that's it. It's just not adventure 3 simple as that

[@InklingRacer456]

Miles Prower your opinion dude and I'm cool with it

[@InklingRacer456]

Plus Sonic 06 actual name is Sonic The Hedgehog and the game is NOT worthy for that title either

Funny thing is, 06 checks all of those marks aside from being a reboot. Cool video

[@finalhazard883]

There is a Sonic adventure 3... the last season of Sonic X.

[@BlueEyedVibeChecker]

They could totally flesh it out more, make a game of it, and call it the threequel. The Metorex were interesting enough, nothing ground breaking but ultimately good enough to be main antagonists, also a good way to give Shadow the treatment his character deserves.

[@BillDozer]

I agree, but I think that the closest that we have gotten to SA3 was Heroes. Also 9:02 two people have told me that 06 isn't a reboot because it was bad. WHAT KIND IF LOGIC IS THAT?!?!

If the super emeralds and Hyper Sonic are no longer cannon that wouldn't that mean S3&K is no longer cannon? That means the events in that game, collecting the Super Emeralds and going Hyper to stop the true final boss is no longer cannon? Tekashi Izuka really confuses me sometimes with his decisions

[@Spearklys]

Isn't it weird that sonic 06 is just a port cuz it has the same story as sonic adventure with a bit of changes and better graphics? i played the game and i wont lie it annoyed me that a sonic game has lots of glitches in launch... but seriously people actually think that sonic 06 is sonic adventure 3 even tho it's the same story as sonic adventure SO PEOPLE THINK THAT A STORY THAT ALREADY WAS IN ANOTHER GAME IS A SEQUAL OF SONIC ADVENTURE?

[@superhyperdan3827]

If SA3 does happen. I've an idea for a story. The basic premise being the Nocturn from Chronicles. I think since Chronicles is non-canon that it should be in the canon series. Basically the Nocturn come to Earth (NOT MOBIUS, EARTH, SEGA) and begin attacking Sonic and friends. As this is about the echidnas Knuckles will get tons of development. There will be 3 stories. Hero, Neutral and Dark. Hero story will include Sonic and Tails going head-to-head with Eggman. Neutral will be Knuckles alone trying to come to terms with more echidnas and having to fight them. Dark will include Shade and Shadow as they help each other without Shadow knowing Shade's true identity. Think Shadow as a bounty hunter. And then a last story where everything come to a head and Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Shadow all become super and have to face the leader of the Nocturn tribe.

[@critiqueonmediaarts9937]

I'm not sure you missed it, but I pointed out why I made this video @1:00. The people who commented in one of my old videos @1:13 were trying trying to convinced me that Sonic Heroes, Sonic 06, or Sonic Unleashed were Sonic Adventure 3. They're not nicknaming those games, "Sonic Adventure 3", mate. They truly believe that these titles are called Sonic Adventure 3, even though those games are not titled as Sonic Adventure 3. And it's not just them, there are other Sonic fans out there who believe that Heroes, Next Gen, or Unleashed are Sonic Adventure 3. I made this video to show that Sonic Team had no attentions on making Sonic Heroes, Sonic 06, and Sonic Unleashed as Sonic Adventure 3. Well, except for Unleashed, but I already explain why that game is not technically Sonic Adventure 3. Yes, it's clear that these games are similar to the Adventure titles. I have no problem with people comparing the Adventure games with Heroes, Next Gen, and Unleashed, but if they're going to called these games, "Sonic Adventure 3" they should know what they are talking about. Yes, in the end of the day, they're just opinions and it's a no brainier that Heroes, Next Gen, and Unleashed are not Sonic Adventure 3. I just wanted people to be informed about the stuff I found the internet and be open minded before they start talking out of their asses, that's all.

[@pkmnTrainerGold0]

Sonic 06 is a shitty reboot. The story doesn't really stand on its own and the game erases itself from the canon anyway. If the game didn't redesign Eggman, fuck up Blaze's origin, and was named Sonic Adventure 3 (& Knuckles) there would be no argument over 06 being SA3. (Well, titles are hard to argue anyway... Stupid Sonic 4...)

[@mattglover560]

Late comment so the guy's opinions may have changed but this is a debate that occasionally rears its head in SA2 Hell so This video kinda ignores the point of the discussion and it slightly bothered me that there was no acknowledgement of this, especially since it feels like he got so close to saying it, that i can't tell if the video is sincere or not The point of the debate is which game represents the adventure games well enough to fill the void made by the knowledge that SA3 will never exist, a spiritual successor if you will. Also 06 meets all the criteria laid out at the end of the video, it may have been considered a reboot but Unleashed was more of a reboot than 06

[@AshkarBehek0]

... I think sega keeps attempting to make SA3, but keeps backing down and change it's name and concept because they don't have the guts to pull it off. I mean, with Sonic Forces, they made a story where Sonic has to work along with OTHER people (it's even what the main theme is all about). This was THE premises to pull off Sonic Adventure 3. But, no.... Classic Sonic and Deviant the Artwork. I mean, Classic Sonic isn't even relevant! This is not Sonic Generations 2 and we already got Mania FFS! Why couldn't it have been Knuckles or Shadow to smash that boulder in the trailer?

[@uconker8120]

"Don't have the guts to pull it off" Incorrect, they don't make it because giving it a new name and identity is a better marketing strategy than trying to ride the popularity of a 16 year old game.

[@theultimateedgeformshadowt6945]

uConker a popularity that is turning into hate I should add

[@AshkarBehek0]

"Marketing strategy" and "guts" are the two opposites for me. Sure, they can perfectly take the most "market strategical" thing to do and release a new game with a new name. It's the safest way to make money as it keeps people's expectations relatively low. Announcing SA3, sure, would be allot riskier. People's expectations would become high and it will by a "do or die" scenario, most likely. It takes more "guts", but if they manage to do it right, they might get even MORE money than other wise. And with Sonic06 as the perfect example of how NOT to do SA3, I am sure they can pull it off (at least gameplay wise). And I don't agree that the age of SA as any relevance. Kid Icarus: Uprising is the sequel to what? And NES title? It's just a matter of giving it's chance to a game series that had much unexploited potential and it can perfectly turn out right.

I think what people don't understand is how similar each game is to some of the past games, hence why they nickname it such things. They're not LITERALLY Sonic Adventure 3, it's just that people are so tired of everyone begging for a SA2 sequel I think, since we've had similar games since then. The Sonic Adventure games weren't identical to each other, they're still sequels though. I think the similarities that are so obvious because they play similar (Sonic 06) and have similar level design. In my opinion, I think people can't seem to admit these similarities. Also, they can't get over the Adventure games, at least the fanboys can't.

do you know sonic unleashed was gonna be sonic adventure 3 but it got scrapped just like knuckles and shadow were scrappex

[@naomimontanez8273]

PowerMobo watch the full video dude

[@dragonlord12100]

Not watching because of your first 20 seconds. I will do exactly that because your tone of voice irritated me. Sonic heroes is kinda like a sonic adventure 3 but I’ll agree it that it’s not. It’s gameplay is enough on its own to be a separate genre. Sonic generation is also not sonic adventure 3. The 2 games have no similarities whatsoever. But if you try to say that sonic 06 wasn’t meant to be adventure 3 or a spiritual successor then your just blind. Gameplay is the same for the most part, talking about movement and abilities of sonic and others. Sonic plays how he did in adventure 2, omega plays almost exactly as gamma did in adventure one, knuckles also plays the same but instead of finding emerald shards your looking for switches. Only original gameplay elements they had were for silver and blaze, shadow was different as well but the core gameplay was still there. Moving past gameplay they had a hub world for all the levels like Sonic adventure 1 Like sonic adventure 1, 2, and heroes (a game your saying some people classify as sonic adventure 3) they have a grading system which I know pretty much all sonic games have that now but you don’t get emblems when you get an S rank. And finally it has 3 stories that are happening at the same times as each other like sonic 1,2 and even heroes. Like I said sonic unleashed isn’t even close to being an adventure title and heroes has some similarities but enough to make it its own thing but Sonic 06 is CLEARLY meant to be adventure 3 or a spiritual successor. Sorry but not sorry for not watching your video and for making an ass out of myself but I really don’t care.

@Nobody's Hero "Not watching because of your first 20 seconds. I will do exactly that because your tone of voice irritated me." Wow, that's really petty...

[@dragonlord12100]

Critique on Media Arts you are replying to this one year later thinking I wouldn’t reply back.... that’s pretty petty.

[@critiqueonmediaarts9937]

@@dragonlord12100 I just discovered your comment just now. I've been away from youtube for like a year and half. Whether you reply or not doesn't matter to me. I just find it ridiculous that you refuse to watch my video because my tone of voice upset you somehow.

[@dragonlord12100]

Critique on Media Arts I refuse to watch it for multiple reasons. 1 you’re tone of voice, 2, the stupid title and three, you’re pettiness of replying to a year old comment trying to stir up drama. It’s my opinion. Leave it at that and move on with your life.

How about they remake Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 instead?

[@bigfanofsb653]

12:18 you know like originally started off as a reboot. So your main argument for 06 is contradictory.

[@sonchedgeofthehog7222]

9:39 "people just go by what they think without researching it" um pretty sure that's what you did

He quotes a lot of interviews and linked a lot of sources for someone who didn't do any research.

They are not SA3, they would be named SA3.

[@tomahawk1495]

I'm not returning to sonic franchise until sa3, that's from sa2 being the last sonic game I really enjoyed, riders was good, I liked alot of unleashed except hating the speed levels, sa2 was the last 'good' sonic game in my opinion, personally thought it was amazing and still play it today

[@Axxidous]

They give a shit about being consistent, just not to an extreme. It's at flux because it allows them the freedom to be diverse. It's like the worlds ARE always being rebooted but with a string of consistency that ties them all together. It'd be like watching a cartoon hat has a storyline but every episode is a different art style with different VA's and a different design for everything. It's almost artistic. XD Now, when I say "reboot", I mean in the way those idiots meant "Reboot" and not in the way that Sonic 06 actually WAS a reboot. lol I've said before that I think 06 could be like a prequel and not be canon due to wiping itself of existence in its own story, which later is rewritten from Sonic 1 til now. But that was never like a SERIOUS theory. It was like a possibly way to tie 06 to our official canon and still make it non-canon and having never happened. lol For the same reason, you could say Crisis City shows up in Generations because it distorts time and space, undoing and redoing everything, including previously erased events. It can undo erasing that future and reimplement it in a time/space limbo. It'd be like drawing Crisis City, then painting white over it, then painting Sonic Adventure or some shit, and then Time Eater comes and scrapes that layer of paint off and sits it on another canvas, then scrapes the white layer of paint off, and then scrapes Crisis City's image off and puts IT on another canvas. Now you have 2 new canvases with stolen images of Sonic Adventure and Crisis City, even though the original canvas was Sonic Adventure with Crisis City having no longer existed. Time Eater can do that shit. XD But in all seriousness... the game mixed a simplistic plot with the commercial idea of playing through the games of Sonic's history... no-brainer. lol

[@Nathan-kr5mw]

SonicnUnleashed was gonna originally be called Sonic adventure 3

[@TEDTHETENACIOUSGUY]

Dude he literally said that in his video, were you not paying attention

[@Gamer-qw3ll]

sonic heroes is set 6 months after sa2

[@aquaboltz7272]

Sonic adventure 3 is technically unleashed, in Japan it is sonic world adventure and was but the night stages ruined the whole thing, so when it came to America it was changed to unleashed cuz the werehog stages. But in Japan where it's made in kept the name adventure and ran along with it. Get it ran along, but with out night stages in America it would be called world adventure bringing a new view on the adventure series, but the sonic fan base hates change so much. Remember when sonic got "older" that didn't sit too well for the "fans" your going for what Americans think and say while Sonic Team of AMERICA responds for Japan, and Japan rolled with it because we Americans can get very rude and confused. Long story short no werehog = sawa aka sa3 meaning change also resorting to chaos pun intended and propaganda saying that it was "false advisement" plus the Wii version was more open like the og adventure stages while the remastered was more compressed like the modern games.

[@terrancespells308]

[@cherylmclorn8185]

But Heroes Is Continuing The Damn Story Stop Saying Its Not Related At All Did You Even Play The Adventure Games And Heroes I'm Not Saying Its Sonic Adventure 3 I'm Saying Its A Short Side Story. Reasons Its A Side Story: When Shadow Dies In SA2 In Heroes Rouge Was Talking About Shadow Dying Also Shadow Is Trying To Remember The Events Of SA2 And Some Games Continue The Story Without The Same Gameplay Aspects and sequels need the continue the events of the story. And any games having the characters of sonic adventure games Doesn't make it a sequel it must continue from the plot. Forces is Something to it's own thing and joins with generations and unleashed is it own thing and 06 is a failed reboot

[@oceanstar2294]

Yeah, Heroes literally follows up on Shadow's story from SA2

[@BlueEyedVibeChecker]

Heroes doesn't even have the spindash. Shadow doesn't even address the fact he died until his own game which ALSO follows up events from Adventure 2. Maria's death, Shadow's past, the world saved by Sonic and Shadow, etc. Except Shadow also has the spindash. Heroes is Adventure 2.5, Adventure 2 DLC at best. just without the bounce, glide, spindash, mechs, a completely different setting, no real story other than the plot of Sonic The Hedgehog(1991) just in HD, and Metal Sonic- HEROES IS SONIC CD 2 CONFIRMED!!

[@shinysamurott613]

Of course they weren't. They weren't titled Sonic Adventure 3 now were they. Also... we're never getting Sonic Adventure 3. Get over it.

"Your vid dint address or debunk this" I'm sorry, what? Did you miss the part where I explained why Sonic 06 is very similar to the Adventure games @ 8:24?

[@Jaysterrr]

Do you know anything about Sonic?

[@az_gaming7021]

Eh sonic 06 seems like Sa3 because in adventure one it was just sonic and his friends the second game in the series the introduced shadow and the third to me is they introduced silver and blaze
