History JustForFun / SonicRevolution

'''''Sonic Revolution''''' was a game released near the end of 2007 for the UsefulNotes/XBox360, UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 and the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} made to celebrate the 16th anniversary of the [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog franchise]]. The game was originally planned to come out back at the end of 2006 for the 15th anniversary. While originally rushing production in order to meet time constraints, a leaked beta went online and caused an uproar among those who played it, getting far enough that SEGA put their foot down on the game's current production. Realizing they barely avoided a disaster for the Sonic franchise, SEGA reached out to members of the Sonic community, asking for them to play through the game and get an in-depth analysis of the problem. The main issues included several [[GameBreakingBug colossal glitches in game-play]], the lackluster and confusing execution of the story, and the overall unemotional presentation. This led to an additional year of story revisions, game fixes and even some from scratch recoding. In exchange from help from Nintendo, it was also given a Wii release.

This led to the highly commercially and critically-acclaimed release of ''Sonic Revolution'', and is considered to be a hall-mark game and just what Sonic needed to break through the PolygonCeiling.

[[labelnote:note]]This is a JustForFun [[AlternateUniverse AU]] page about ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' if the game was not rushed and several of the glaring flaws in the game and story were reexamined. This had the potential to be a revolutionary Sonic game so why not try and see what could have been done right (this means no radical departures from the story or removal of characters.)[[/labelnote]]

The game was originally planned to come out back at the end of 2006 for the 15th anniversary. It was rushing production in order to meet time constraints (some rumors stated that Microsoft and Sony were partially responsible for the time). However, a leaked beta caused an uproar among those who got it and it was enough for SEGA to put their foot down. Realizing they barely avoided a disaster for the Sonic franchise, SEGA reached out to members of the Sonic community, including some budding Lets-Players to play through the game and get an in-depth analysis of the problem. The main issues included several [[GameBreakingBug colossal glitches in game-play]], the lackluster and confusing execution of the story and the overall unemotional presentation. This led to an additional year of story revisions, game fixes and sometimes even recoding from scratch. In exchange from help from Nintendo, it was also given a Wii release.

This led to a highly commercially and critically-acclaimed release instead of a [[WhatCouldHaveBeen potenial flop.]] Sonic Revolution is considered a hall-mark game and helped break through the PolygonCeiling. In addition, due to the game's Lua programming, modding the game became a favorite past-time up even to this day.

Mad scientist [[BigBad Dr. Eggman]] has a new plan to TakeOverTheWorld: to capture Princess Elise, the ruler of the country of Soleanna and the girl to the "[[SealedEvilInACan Flames of Disaster]]", and combine her power with the seven [[MineralMacGuffin Chaos Emeralds]] so he can rule over all time and space. {{Chronic Hero|Syndrome}} Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles "Tails" Prower were in town for the local festival and end up rescuing Princess Elise from the clutches of Dr. Eggman and now must protect her while investigating theses 'Flames of Disaster.'

Meanwhile, a [[MindOverMatter telekinetic]] hedgehog from the future named [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience Silver]] has [[TimeTravel travelled back in time]] with his best friend Blaze. His goal is to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong and prevent his BadFuture by destroying "The Iblis Trigger", which he believes to be Sonic The Hedgehog. While this is happening, local AntiHero Shadow The Hedgehog must contend with a mysterious {{evil|Counterpart}} {{Doppelganger}} calling itself [[SatanicArchetype "Mephiles The Dark",]] who seeks to activate "The Iblis Trigger" and plunge the future into despair.

* RuleOfSymbolism: Several examples, namely toward the villain. It's been heavily implied, but not outright confirmed that [[spoiler: Mepiles is based off of Mephistopheles and Iblis was based off of Satan (more specifically, Shaytan, the Islamic incarnation.) In fact, Solaris has several examples of Lucifer-like imagery. So the ''Sonic'' cast appears to be fighting more-or-less their unvierse's equivalent of the Devil.]]
