Meet The Modders Fixing The Bad Sonic Games Of Your Youth
Sonic the Hedgehog has come a long way in the past few years. From the open-world reinvention Sonic Frontiers to the financial success of the movie franchise, everyone’s favorite Sega mascot is enjoying a boom period. But while some at Sega might want you to forget some of Sonic’s more mediocre (or downright terrible) outings–especially those of the mid 2000s–the die-hard modders in the surprisingly active 3D Sonic scene are here to fix the problems that annoyed thousands of schoolchildren back in the day.
Of the many, many Sonic games that have emerged over the years, it’s fair to say that 2006’s Sonic the Hedgehog is the most infamous. Featuring a wildly ambitious spread of playable characters and a doomed cross-species love story between Sonic and a human princess, “Sonic ’06” is one of the best-ever examples of publisher hubris. That said, does it deserve its reputation as an all-time bad game? According to Sonic fan ChaosX, absolutely not. And he’s far from the only one who feels that way.
ChaosX is the Argentinian developer behind “P-06 (Project ’06),” a decidedly unofficial remake of the Sonic 2006 game made in the Unity engine. When the developer first played Sonic 2006 as a kid, he was fascinated by its mix of soaring highs and abyssal lows–here was a game that had some of the best art design and music that he had ever seen and heard, yet it struggled with the basics of the platforming genre.

Street Fighter 6 modders are hard at work – months before the game is out
Modders are already hard at work creating custom skins for Street Fighter 6 characters, months before the game is released. Whether they’re classic throwbacks, recolours, or something altogether more bizarre, the Day Zero SF6 scene is wild with cosmetic fervour.
While this is a testament to just how broken open the beta version of Street Fighter 6 is, it’s also a great sign of health for the game’s Wild West of character customisation. Those who’ll create the coolest and most deranged visual alterations are already cutting their teeth.
But first, some background. For a few months now players have been able to download cracked Street Fighter 6 beta files online, referring to the beta being cracked open for everyone to play. With those files downloaded, anyone can jump into training mode with a limited selection of characters at their fingertips. With third-party software like Parsec, you can even play online. It’s inside this playground of possibilities that the pre-gold grinders, combo creators, and potential pros are hard at work.
Fallout 2 has 13 voiced characters – modders are expanding that by 10x
After almost 25 years the original Fallout 2 from Black Isle Studios is being overhauled to include new voice-acted lines for already modded-in extra talking heads. The classic isometric RPG game still makes the rounds all these years later, with a free Fallout 2 FPS game available now for example, and this voice lines mod aims to combine with another to enhance the original Fallout 2 experience naturally. Hopefully this fills you up ahead of the Fallout 5 release date.
