tbh I think it's more tight deadlines and or lower budgets that hurt the Sonic games. I'd also say the constant need to try to be the hip new thing, I don't think it's a coincidence Sonic The Hedgehog 2006 came out around the same time gritty reboots were picking up in popularity and likewise Generations, Forces, and Mania AKA lighthearted affairs with callbacks to past entries were made when Marvel movies, PacMan Championship Edition, Megaman 9, among others were popular.
Yes, and really, what I'm saying here is that individual stages might be fun - I can even make the most out of Sonic 06 by simply selecting "Sonic -> Stage Trials -> [FAVORITE LEVEL OF WHICH THERE ARE 5], it has good music, homing mechanics and speedrun strats - but by playing either Adventure 1 or 2 from a clean slate, where you have to go through the campaigns, it isn't even a great game, just a pain in the ass with cringy music and anime writing.
I don't see whatever causes these bad games going away for an Adventure remake.
I don't think that's what he's suggesting. Nothing will make bad games go away. I think he was trying to say Sonic's tone changes with the times.
As someone who has come to re-love Sonic Adventure, I would be remiss to say that they aren't disproportionately mostly garbage. I like Sonic, Tails and Knuckles in SA1 and just Sonic and Shadow in SA2. I think it would be more interesting for them to have every character playable in every stage but they traverse it differently based on their inherent abilities. Like how 2D Sonic does it. I think Tails in SA1 is good for this reason because your racing Sonic in his stages and your encoraged to jump off the main path and use Tail's ability to fly to create your own short cuts.
