Well you see, if Sonic 06 was the reason Sega doesn't care about Silver anymore, then really, the deeper reason wouldn't be that they think 06 is ruined by Silver, but that he has a bad reputation from that game, which of course they would prefer not to carry over to other games
@@Fafr and they are forgetting that SEGA ruined 06 themselves and ruined this franchise too Now they try to forget what theyve ruined in the first place ... F%** sega and L sonic team .
Hell, look at Project '06. Remove the glitches, polish up the gameplay, and you have a really damned good game. Silver was never the problem with Sonic 06.
While he wasn't "The problem" he was a contributing problem, his gameplay felt slow and with the horrible glitches his telekinesis powers were super buggy which was hard to ignore like the other two. Project 06 fixed most of these issues by making him faster and making his kit less buggy.
Give👏us👏a👏Silver👏game👏 I want to see the future I want to play as a psychic I want to see more character development for Silver I want to see how Silver’s past actions affect the future I want to see Silver make friends in the future I want to see Silver save the world *without* Sonic and *without* going to the past\present There are honestly so many gameplay and storytelling possibilities with a Silver game it feels like a no-brainer😭
I agree with all of those things we literally know nothing about silver except for that he lives 200 years in the future and he has psychokinesis I wanna know more about silvers past like what was crisis city like before it got destroyed and how he met blaze etc
A 3D Sonic CD esc game would be cool. Switching between the past, present and future as Silver acts as a sorts time cop, keeping the timeline in check in the background while Sonic has his adventures
To tell you the truth: Silver was the reason, why I ever wanted own Sonic 06 after so many bad reviews. I wish for years, that he could finally get his own game. I love this guy. He deserves more.
Same he’s truly an underrated character. I love his optimism and refusal to give up even when all seems lost. He’s also such a unique character with his psychic abilities.
Honestly, the best way for Sega to give Silver a second chance, it's by remaking Sonic 06. Out of all Sonic games, Sonic 06 is THE game that is the most in need of a remake, because at its core, Sonic 06 is good and the fan mod fixing it is proof of that.
Silver was the whole reason I wanted to play Sonic 06 in the first place. To see a THIRD hedgehog with a design that rivaled Sonic and Shadow’s in the coolness factor peaked my interest heavily. Silver is not the issue. He is a victim of unfortunate circumstances due to SEGA’s careless decision making.
I could not agree more with everything you said in this video. Silver is my favorite Sonic character EVER, and it always breaks my heart with how he is treated with the higher ups at Sega. His design, powers, character, THEME SONG, I really love everything about this white hedgehog. Dreams of an Absolution is also one of my favorite Sonic OSTs to ever come out, right up there next to Ice Cap Zone. Thank you for making this video and letting people get to know this amazing character a bit more, great work!
Nah I want him to be the main focus of the fifth or sixth movie. I want a Sonic Heroes movie before the '06 movie (But I want an '06 Movie before any Riders movie, even then Riders should never get a movie but a show would be okay)
I believe that if we’re getting a “Year of Shadow the Hedgehog”. Then I believe that one day, we will get a “year of Silver the Hedgehog”. We just need to have hope🙏🏾
@@sabretoothtiger4314right! It can’t be coincidence. Since the year of shadow is celebrating the anniversary of SA2 or Shadow the Hedgehog 05 since Shadow were in those titles right?
It's funny because there's a SEGA mandate that says only male hedgehogs can go super. (This seems to only be the case for story-related material and non-2D classic style; so things like Sonic Superstars and the such don't count). This seems to be something SEGA thought of for years now and didn't just come up with to annoy the Archie Sonic fans who were used to any character being able to use the chaos emeralds, given that Knuckles and Tails weren't able to turn super back in Sonic Heroes when Super Sonic shared his energy, but Shadow and Silver were. I know some fans are annoyed by that since they want to see Amy or Tails or even Knuckles go super in a mainline game or in the current comics, but I have my own theories that there may be a lore reason for why only Sonic and Shadow can go super. And well, even though he hasn't since 06, Silver just so happens to be another male hedgehog so the fact that SEGA didn't just specify those two makes me think that they're still considering him. We know why Shadow could probably go super, him being the ultimate lifeform and all, and Sonic is obviously special in some way. But there's no explanation or even hints on why Silver could also enter this super state. Since SEGA decided to start going into the Chaos Emeralds origins, I hope they go into this for the hedgehogs relationship with the Emeralds in general and bring Silver back to be involved in this Of course, that's assuming that they don't appeal to the fans that want every character to have the ability to go super or just ignore the fact that it's kind of strange that only those three have ever gone super.
Silver wouldn't fit in Unleashed's story though; it'd feel really forced. If we want the character to improve, we can't just arbitrarily throw him into pre-existing games just for the sake of screentime, the character deserves more thoughtful consideration than that (otherwise, he's never going to truly blossom into something coherent and 3 dimensional).
@@DLxxx I think you didn't get it , SEGA should first make a small separate campaign for Silver in Unleashed to test the audience reaction , (SEGA don't trust Silver because people hated him in 06 so they should test his popularity in a small thing first) and that's will prove to them that we want Silver , after that we could potentially get his solo game or him being playable in Sonic Adventure 3
@@haiderraad468Right, but unlike Generations (which features Shadow, and has very little story to intrude upon), Unleashed already tells a complete, fully fleshed out narrative. Even if you were to give Silver his own campaign, you'd have to tie it into the main story somehow (in order to justify the packaging it woth Unleashed), and I don't see that happening without it feeling hamfisted. I think it would make more sense to just remake older games that already included Silver, like 06 or the Rivals duology. That might be a bit riskier, but if done right, it'll still be better for the character in the long run.
@@DLxxx Silver's Campaign doesn't have to be connected with Unleashed's Story , they can for example showing him in the future having troubles with dark gaia from the future or something like that , because believe me they will never remake 06 so his campaign in a remaster title is the best way to start his return
In an ideal world, we would get a Silver solo spinoff game lol, but I completely agree! Silver has such a HUGE fanbase, and I think giving him just one time in somewhat of a spotlight would be FAR from doing SEGA harm. Give my lil' boi a chance SEGA!!
I'm a Gamma fan and I actually appreciate that his story was allowed to end in Sonic Adventure. While I don't think bringing him back would *ruin* him, and you *could* tell good stories with him again, I'm quite happy with what we got and content to let his story end in the way it did.
Honestly I think the solution is to retcon Silver so he's just sticking around in the past now, it just makes sense. No more confusion, he's here now. Hell, you could make a whole subplot about it. All we need is some decent plot relevance in a game, and he'll be redeemed in the public eye. Then the momentum is there.
It would have made perfect sense if Silver were made as a bonus character in Sonic x Shadow Generations instead of Shadow himself because it revolves around timeline and traveling gap.
@@kowabonga3552 Up until the late 2010's, the general consensus was that fans HATED Silver and mocked him for his choices, design, or voice acting. Silver has been my favorite since near the beggining, but I don't think you can blame Sega for being hesitant in this specific instance. As far as they're concerned, he's too risky to put a spotlight on again without comparison or mention of 06 (which Sega is afraid of).
@@mazkeraid4039 Absolutely! They screwed up in ways thay will haunt them forever, but Sega is a company well known for self sabatoge and poor foresight. You can find some cool documentaries that do a really good job covering the company's tumultuous history.
I really miss SIlver. I wish he somehow returned majorly in some more 3D action Sonic games a lot sooner instead of sometime in the future. Despite my wish and how long it has been, I still do not believe he will not return in a very, very new and surprising 3D game. I am never ever giving up on him. He was some character in my opinion. Some Silver fans and I will wait sometime longer and afterwards will see him majorly again, I know it.
Most of the fandom these days treats him better than Sega themselves. From the time I played 06 I absolutely loved Silver, he became my favourite from the get-go
Great video man, Silver has always been my favorite Sonic character. I feel Silver could work great in a Sonic Unleashed rerelease where he has a side campaign that involves him going into the past to witness how the ancients aided light gaia with creating the gaia temples, since it was shown Frontiers the chaos emeralds came from the ancients. Make Sonic X Silver Unleashed happen Sega!!
silver is definitely a character who gets a lot of hate (personally I think people hate him just for the fact that his debut game was sonic 06). I personally do think he has a lot of potential as a character and the Archie and IDW comics have shown that silver can be a well written character to adapt. it’s a shame that sega hasn’t really done alot with him other than a few guest appearances in a couple of sonic games. he’s yet to have any cartoon roles and I kinda doubt we’ll see him in the movies anytime soon then again though I could be wrong
yeah, i really wish he’d get a chance to star in a show/cartoon too. it may be just my own personal opinion but they could’ve used his character in sonic prime to help nine with his redemption arc instead of the weird canon ending nine got. to start off, silver would’ve understood nine’s desperate need for a “perfect” world and being willing to do about anything to achieve that.
You are making a good point like I always question why do people make silver an idiot like silver isn't one he is a kind-hearted hero from the future like he is not like an idiot (unless he actually is but I don't want that)
I don't hate Silver but do I hate he's essentially used as a ball and chain to my 2nd favourite character in the franchise (Blaze), from folks shipping them to 06 unnecessarily retconning her backstory to be Silver' "support/mentor". In all honesty they're detrimental to each other since both are MC material in terms of design, powers and lore yet pairing them up actually weakens both. It's so bad, that as sad as it sounds I'm actually glad whenever Blaze interacts with others without Silver being around and vice verse for Silver.
I dont feel like Sega has anything personal against Silver. Everybody has been shafted in recent years. It's only lately they've been increasing their use. I do think that Shadow is a safer bet to test the waters of other characters to have the limelight, so I'm hoping they are gradually increasing other characters prominence Even so, as my favorite character in the series, I really hope they bring him back. I remember reading that Silver is actually very popular internally at Sonic Team, but haven't been able to use it (presumably because everything after 06 focused on Sonic and Sonic only)
I personally got involved in the Sonic series with the Mario & Sonic Winter game. Silver became my favorite in the Sonic cast, and I then watched the cutscenes of Sonic 06. Watching his story first instead of being introduced by a horrible boss and gameplay is likely why I didn't have the bad first impression that ruined his image
I wonder if it has anything to do with Silver's telekinetic powers that he has not been playable in a normal sense since '06. Shadow's abilities in Shadow Generations shows off how much Shadow's style meshes well with high speed platforming mixed with some combat. Plus, there is no real playstyle template for Silver unlike Shadow since the only reference point for Silver is '06. I think Silver would be a perfect showcase of him playing a jack-of-all-trades character yet excels at one thing. Also, due to telekinesis being on the table, Sonic Team would have the perfect excuse to go crazy with level designs and mechanics.
the difference between Silver and Sonic is that sonic saves people and saves places, even the world or the universe, but only whenever it's necessary, or whenever he is made aware of it, the rest of the time he is very much a chill guy just enjoying his life, being free and hanging out with his friends, whereas silver very much lives for the idea of saving others, it's like a part of his personality, he is a hero because he couldn't help it, it's simply in his nature to do what is right, Sonic is just a guy that chooses to do the right thing when he is needed
Silver the hedgehog was the reason I came back to the sonic series after the GameCube line of games. the games don’t feel the same without being to play as silver
06 was the first mainline game after the Gamecube games and is also the only game with Silver playable in it. You're basically saying you came back to the series after an astounding zero games and then left because no other game plays like Sonic '06. What?
*@evdestroy5304* That is not totally correct as Silver is playable in side Sonic games such as the Riders games. Pretty sure that's not what they're saying. They're just saying they came back for 1 game where Silver is in and he's the reason why they came back to the Sonic series but they never said they left again after Sonic 06. Only that playing as Silver was cool and you can no longer do that and that it's a shame.
I just played Sonic P-06 and Silver is hands down the most exciting thing about the game imo. Absolutely love him and the fact that Sega is sleeping on him is insane. So much potential there.
Shadow generations is a perfect chance for like a teaser silver level or something. Think about it He was in white space like shadow and sonic, meaning he was affected by the time eater reality erasure, THAT WOULD BE PERFECT
If we ever get Sonic Adventure 3 it would actually be epic to have a full story for Sonic Shadow and Silver. The Adventure games with the chao gardens are still the best.
I think Sega really needs to bite the bullet and attempt another Sonic ‘06 format game again. It was their biggest failure, and they need to prove/realise that it wasn’t a faulty format. It like in gymnastics when you fail a hard move. You need to preform the trick successfully again to regain their confidence. Hopefully Silver is hinted at the end of Sonic 3 and then they reintroduce silver again.
While I highly doubt Silver will get a game (sadly), I think it could be possible he’ll get a DLC of sorts in a future sonic game. The game I think is likely for this to happen is sonic X Shadow generations because that game gave silver atleast some sort of love when he got a boss fight and appeared in a few cutscenes.
I feel like all the Hedgehog characters should always take the frontline in the franchise, Silver should always be prominent in the story especially considering how powerful he is compaired with Shadow and Sonic. Here's hoping for a better role in future games!
I like Silver, I find him to be my favorite of the trio. I love his story in 06 and his awesome psychic powers that make him more unique than the other two
Man we got Sonic Frontiers And Shadow Generations, give us a Silver game similar to those two but more about his past, because 06 showed that he lived on that Future, so show him trying to survive in his future, meeting Blaze and all that good stuff (Silver is not a bad character, they just made a bad game from him to appear) And even if you consider the fact that the game ended as it's events not happening, he still is at the future that is ruined, so yeah that does not justify this happening to one of the SSS trio
Sonic X Shadow Generations Silver DLC would be the most optimal time to test Silver out. Instead, we get a Sonic movie DLC fml. Just one stage with a platform stage and a boost stage, that's all it takes. But Sega are hacks.
After Tears of the Kingdom, I feel like a similar approach to physics would make Silver feel so unique and fun to play with the ability to move around objects freely, but I also fear that SEGA doesn't have the time or dedication to working on a physics based game like that.
Honestly i feel like in order for silver to even make sense in the current continuity is to change his backstory. Rn they say that he keeps coming back in time cuz his timeline keeps getting messed up but that makes 0 sense cuz silver got sent back in time by mephilis at the start. I think it would be so easy to just make him from Blaze's dimension
As a shadow fan, I always wanted more shadow games and him to be more involved in Sonic games like tails and knuckles. I also like knuckles and Sonic second and want a knuckles game too but shadow will always be my favorite but saying all this, I would still love to see more of silver and even a game all about silver too. He has a lot of potential to be a fan favorite and a really great character
I agree, it would be so cool to see Silver get another chance. There are aspects of his character that I really like, such as his naive and hopeful personality. It contrasts well with Sonic's snark and Shadow's aloofness. Silver is just a desparate kid that grew up in an apocalyptic future, so I don't fault him for believing Mephiles easily. He saw a chance to finally get out of that hellhole and he took it. Heck, there are no people in sight in Crisis City, so Silver was probably delighted to even see another person. Unfortunately, the likelihood of him having a central role again is very low. Because of his rocky start in 06, Silver remains a disliked character in the eyes of most people outside the Sonic fanbase (and some people within the fanbase, but more Sonic fans like Silver nowadays). The idea is that since 06 was bad, and Silver debuted in 06, that means everything about Silver must be bad too. The reason Sega doesn't push Silver out into the spotlight is because he's just not as marketable as Sonic or Shadow. But I can't really fault them for it, because if they did release a trailer for something like a Silver spinoff game, they'd probably get a lot of criticism.
He’s gonna get another chance in Sonic Movie 4. I guarantee it. Shadow ALSO is getting another chance in sonic movie 3 and because of fan popularity he’s now getting his own game and likely going to be in “Sonic Frontiers 2”
Literally my 2nd fave character in the franchise and he gets done so dirty. I want him back in the spotlight again whether its by himself or next to sonic and/or shadow again
I agree with everything you said in this video! I always say this but I’ll say it again… SILVER NEEDS TO BE RELEVANT AGAIN! Sega should give him more credit where credit is due! He is one of the most relatable and loving characters in this franchise! HE DESERVES BETTER FROM SEGA! I do appreciate all the love the fans give him tho. I think that’s the only reason why he hasn’t been forgotten and why Silver is getting more love and attention. More than Sega has ever given him after 06 that’s for sure
I used to hate Silver a lot at the beginning, I won’t lie. But later on I ended up really loving this character. Especially if you read his comics, they’re so good.
Im pretty sure if ian flynn can help it, we will probably get more silver media in the future... maybe in the sequel to sonic frontiers???? I think they were hinting this in sxs generations
Silver and Knuckles are my FAV Sonic characters! I don’t really like Sonic but I do tolerate him, but Silver I wish he had more spotlight 😩 I voted for him in the Super Smash ballot to be included in the game 😭
Мне нравится в Сильвере, что он, в отличие от того же Соника или Шедоу, до сих пор разбирается с собой. Если Соник - свободный оптимист, который хочет прожить жизнь на полную и поделится добром со всем миром, а Шедоу - спокойный и рассудительный ёж, который смог разобраться со своим прошлым и двигаться дальше со своими интересами, то Сильвер - это крайне неуверенная личность, которая может критично относиться с себе самому. Из-за своих переживаний и тревожности он не может раскрыть свой потенциал, хотя по силам он не уступает Шедоу. Он постоянно ошибается, и мне нравится это. Он не хочет быть бесполезным, он не хочет отсиживаться, когда другие действуют, он не хочет всех подвести, и это так сука жизненно! Хочется сказать ему: "Несмотря ни на что, я всё ещё верю в тебя! Удачи, герой!"
To be fair Sliver was not the only character to not be playable. It was like that with Rouge, Vector, and other characters until Sonic Superstar, frontiers, and Dream Team
Funny enough as a kid i didnt run into any of the game breaking bugs and genuinely enjoyed the game although never beating it. (Think i beat silver and sonics story). Game had potential if they did it right. I find silver to play as because its not just like sonic and shadow where you run fast. He’s unique and has his own power that makes him fun to play as
Silver has always been my favorite too! been obsessed with him since I was a kid. still holding out hope that someday he’ll get a cartoon appearance. 😔 I really wanted him to be in Sonic Prime because I thought the dimension-hopping premise was perfect for him but that was a bust. would also love for him to be given a chance with a spin off game. like c’mon! he can go super just like shadow and sonic. iconic trio. he deserves to be up there with the other two.
Last summer Silver became my third favorite character from the Sonic franchise beside Sonic and Shadow, and 1 of the main reasons why I want to download P-06 when Chaos X has the final product available is so that I can play as that adorable telepathic hedgehog in a Sonic game that isn't either a spin-off game or a mobile one. I'm sick of the fact that those are the only kinds of Sonic games that he's currently a playable character in. I really hope that Paramount will make a Sonic 4 movie that can have the elements of 06 that were good ones adapted into it while changing the unwanted parts to be better or not adapting those parts in at all. If he gets put into the SCU (Sonic Cinematic Universe) then it would be more easy for Sega to see how much of a loved character Silver is from theater audience reactions, and learn that they should treat him better in future mainline Sonic games instead of continuing to leave him out of almost every single one of them! That studio might do it because it is easy to see that there is more hyper-realistic fanmade movie images of Silver online than any of the other characters who haven't been put into the already released Sonic movies. So it can be kind of easy for Paramount to see that he's the character who the fans want to see on the big screen next after Shadow gets the spotlight in the third Sonic movie.
Thanks for the video! I love Silver as well. I really hope, he will appear in one of the Sonic movies with Blaze. I think it could be a good plot to reimagine the 06's story in a film. (...without Elise :'D)
Giving how Sega/Sonic Team FINALLY CARES ABOUT characters stories and respects the lore and it's characters I think it's time for Silver to get a spot light. Sonic Frontiers gave us the best story in years and fixed Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy characterizations and Shadow Generations finally killed that annoying image of Shadow being edgelord by showing how deep and complex he is...NOW IT'S TIME FOR SILVER TO SHINE...and I have two ideas how they could do it! 1) Do the game set in non canon future where after Blaze is gone, Silver evolves and becomes ESP Silver, when he achieved full potential of his power. 2) MAKE SONIC AND SILVER GAME. There's a Spider-Man game called Spider-Man: Edge Of Time (which is absolute banger btw) where we control both Peter's Spider-Man and 2099 Spider-Man from the future. Story involves 2099 future being changed so Miguel goes back in time to stop it and save Peter. Since Silver is basically Miguel O'Hara for Sonic, they could easily do a story where Sonic gets stuck in the future and Silver gets stuck in the past and they have to find the way back while also saving space time continuum. Plus anything that Silver does in the past effects the future and vice versa so it would lead to some interesting levels...PLEASE SEGA MONEY IS THERE!!!!!
I loved 06 I was younger and didn’t notice any glitches I’m not gunna lie and it was cool playing as all those different characters the story was amazing and I didnt get stuck on the levels at all
When I first saw Silver in Sonic 06, I was curious to who the new Hedgehog was. When I looked up his story on TH-cam, I fell in love with Silver. I loved his powers, his backstory, everything. He's become my favorite Hedgehog. I was disappointed when Sega decided to just shove him into the background rather then becoming one of the main characters. There's so much they could do with Silver. I wish they would do it. I hope they do someday.
Silver is my favorite character in the series by a wide margin. I recognize Sonic 06 as kind of a bad game, but I fell in love with his character in it and ever since have wanted to see more from the character. I get so excited whenever I even see a small mention of him or when he's just a side character. The IDW comics were such a treat for me because of how much spotlight he got and I really think of all the characters besides Sonic, he shined the brightest. I desperately want him to get some sort of solo game or comic series. He's just such a fun and compelling character to me.
giving silver an open zone game would be a golden opportunity. silver's powers and abilities fit the open-zone style so well and i'd love to see him as part of the main cast and as a playable character again.
Completely agree. Since frontiers ended with everyone going in their own direction, I feel the next game would be Sonic Shadow and Silver. While idk what scenario would bring them 3 of them together, it would check so many boxes. Sonic would be in it so it’d sell, people would get more Shadow after gen’s, and because he’d be a 3rd at most, Silver would get time to shine too, like shadow did in Gen’s. Lastly, a lot of people, myself included, like the hedgehog trio so again, it checks boxes. Maybe I’m just rambling but I like silver, and the others, so it’s about time we start swinging big again
He is my legit favorite Sonic character right alongside Sonic himself, he’s so much of a cool yet funny character and his personality and development in 06 is amazing to me (even if I acknowledge shadows story is better overall) plus his powers are just so cool! Having the ability to levitate and attack foes by bashing others or even projectiles into an enemy is so cool! I just think they need a new idea on how to make it work and he could come back and be great once more.
At this point, I think the biggest reason Silver hasn't been given a chance at this point is because his gameplay style is way too different to just 'try out' for a level. Shadow can easily be tested out for a level since his gameplay style is VERY similar to Sonic, but Silver would need an entire different gameplay style and for a single level, it's just way too much manpower to create. Tails, Knuckles and Amy were tested out again in Frontiers because their gameplay mechanics (save for a couple character-specific gimmicks) were built off Sonic.
I wonder if silver could be the second playable character for shadow generations. Since we haven't seen any act two stages, there's so much 06 stuff in the game, he was a rival battle in the original just like shadow and he was one of the most popular character mods for generations.
Sega are forgetting that Silver was never the problem with Sonic '06. The problem was the glitches and quality, which never affects characters.
Well you see, if Sonic 06 was the reason Sega doesn't care about Silver anymore, then really, the deeper reason wouldn't be that they think 06 is ruined by Silver, but that he has a bad reputation from that game, which of course they would prefer not to carry over to other games
@@Fafr but they’re forgetting he has been in many other games, and has been portrayed well often, especially in material written by Ian Flynn.
@@Fafr and they are forgetting that SEGA ruined 06 themselves and ruined this franchise too

F%** sega and L sonic team .
Hell, look at Project '06. Remove the glitches, polish up the gameplay, and you have a really damned good game.
Silver was never the problem with Sonic 06.
While he wasn't "The problem" he was a contributing problem, his gameplay felt slow and with the horrible glitches his telekinesis powers were super buggy which was hard to ignore like the other two. Project 06 fixed most of these issues by making him faster and making his kit less buggy.
Would y'all believe me if I said the first time I saw Silver wasn't in Sonic 06 but in Sonic Tennis when he's standing in the background

I agree with all of those things we literally know nothing about silver except for that he lives 200 years in the future and he has psychokinesis I wanna know more about silvers past like what was crisis city like before it got destroyed and how he met blaze etc
A 3D Sonic CD esc game would be cool. Switching between the past, present and future as Silver acts as a sorts time cop, keeping the timeline in check in the background while Sonic has his adventures
To tell you the truth: Silver was the reason, why I ever wanted own Sonic 06 after so many bad reviews. I wish for years, that he could finally get his own game. I love this guy. He deserves more.

Silver is underrated
*Granolah too, damn it....*
Honestly, the best way for Sega to give Silver a second chance, it's by remaking Sonic 06. Out of all Sonic games, Sonic 06 is THE game that is the most in need of a remake, because at its core, Sonic 06 is good and the fan mod fixing it is proof of that.
Sega can't even re-release the classics without fucking it up
And retitled it Sonic Adventure 3 with a featured chao garden
at this point they jsut neef sonic 4 to be based on sonic 06 and feature silver and then do something like silver generations
Silver was the whole reason I wanted to play Sonic 06 in the first place. To see a THIRD hedgehog with a design that rivaled Sonic and Shadow’s in the coolness factor peaked my interest heavily. Silver is not the issue. He is a victim of unfortunate circumstances due to SEGA’s careless decision making.
I could not agree more with everything you said in this video.
Silver is my favorite Sonic character EVER, and it always breaks my heart with how he is treated with the higher ups at Sega.
His design, powers, character, THEME SONG, I really love everything about this white hedgehog.
Dreams of an Absolution is also one of my favorite Sonic OSTs to ever come out, right up there next to Ice Cap Zone.
Thank you for making this video and letting people get to know this amazing character a bit more, great work!
Bro I was just listening this song. :D
It's amazing man, composition, lyrics, beat everything

Thought i wasn't the only one who thought the same thing!
Hope he appears in Sonic movie 3 credit scene so they can get some attention
Nah I want him to be the main focus of the fifth or sixth movie. I want a Sonic Heroes movie before the '06 movie (But I want an '06 Movie before any Riders movie, even then Riders should never get a movie but a show would be okay)
I believe that if we’re getting a “Year of Shadow the Hedgehog”. Then I believe that one day, we will get a “year of Silver the Hedgehog”. We just need to have hope🙏🏾
I’m hoping next year we’ll get it

@@sabretoothtiger4314right! It can’t be coincidence. Since the year of shadow is celebrating the anniversary of SA2 or Shadow the Hedgehog 05 since Shadow were in those titles right?
@@SoulKnight-e6zThat’s only if SEGA feels emboldened enough to truly accept and embrace Sonic 06. Faults and all.
whats crazy is despite the fact that silver is one of only 3 hedgehogs with the ability to go super, but he's still often forgotten.
It's funny because there's a SEGA mandate that says only male hedgehogs can go super. (This seems to only be the case for story-related material and non-2D classic style; so things like Sonic Superstars and the such don't count).
This seems to be something SEGA thought of for years now and didn't just come up with to annoy the Archie Sonic fans who were used to any character being able to use the chaos emeralds, given that Knuckles and Tails weren't able to turn super back in Sonic Heroes when Super Sonic shared his energy, but Shadow and Silver were.
I know some fans are annoyed by that since they want to see Amy or Tails or even Knuckles go super in a mainline game or in the current comics, but I have my own theories that there may be a lore reason for why only Sonic and Shadow can go super. And well, even though he hasn't since 06, Silver just so happens to be another male hedgehog so the fact that SEGA didn't just specify those two makes me think that they're still considering him.
We know why Shadow could probably go super, him being the ultimate lifeform and all, and Sonic is obviously special in some way. But there's no explanation or even hints on why Silver could also enter this super state. Since SEGA decided to start going into the Chaos Emeralds origins, I hope they go into this for the hedgehogs relationship with the Emeralds in general and bring Silver back to be involved in this
Of course, that's assuming that they don't appeal to the fans that want every character to have the ability to go super or just ignore the fact that it's kind of strange that only those three have ever gone super.
We Need Sonic X Silver Unleashed
Best idea for sega, @SonictheHedgehog this guy is cooking
Silver wouldn't fit in Unleashed's story though; it'd feel really forced. If we want the character to improve, we can't just arbitrarily throw him into pre-existing games just for the sake of screentime, the character deserves more thoughtful consideration than that (otherwise, he's never going to truly blossom into something coherent and 3 dimensional).
@@DLxxx
I think you didn't get it , SEGA should first make a small separate campaign for Silver in Unleashed to test the audience reaction , (SEGA don't trust Silver because people hated him in 06 so they should test his popularity in a small thing first) and that's will prove to them that we want Silver , after that we could potentially get his solo game or him being playable in Sonic Adventure 3
@@haiderraad468Right, but unlike Generations (which features Shadow, and has very little story to intrude upon), Unleashed already tells a complete, fully fleshed out narrative. Even if you were to give Silver his own campaign, you'd have to tie it into the main story somehow (in order to justify the packaging it woth Unleashed), and I don't see that happening without it feeling hamfisted.
I think it would make more sense to just remake older games that already included Silver, like 06 or the Rivals duology. That might be a bit riskier, but if done right, it'll still be better for the character in the long run.
@@DLxxx
Silver's Campaign doesn't have to be connected with Unleashed's Story , they can for example showing him in the future having troubles with dark gaia from the future or something like that , because believe me they will never remake 06 so his campaign in a remaster title is the best way to start his return
In an ideal world, we would get a Silver solo spinoff game lol, but I completely agree! Silver has such a HUGE fanbase, and I think giving him just one time in somewhat of a spotlight would be FAR from doing SEGA harm. Give my lil' boi a chance SEGA!!
If you think it's bad for silver fans, imagine how the gamma fans feel. 🙏😂
Gamma fucking died
I'm a Gamma fan and I actually appreciate that his story was allowed to end in Sonic Adventure. While I don't think bringing him back would *ruin* him, and you *could* tell good stories with him again, I'm quite happy with what we got and content to let his story end in the way it did.
There’re midma fans?
@@Eerie_bus instigation
Gammas story got to end, Silver doesn’t even have a story anymore. He hasn’t done anything since he was introduced.
Honestly I think the solution is to retcon Silver so he's just sticking around in the past now, it just makes sense. No more confusion, he's here now. Hell, you could make a whole subplot about it.
All we need is some decent plot relevance in a game, and he'll be redeemed in the public eye. Then the momentum is there.
It would have made perfect sense if Silver were made as a bonus character in Sonic x Shadow Generations instead of Shadow himself because it revolves around timeline and traveling gap.
Sega is to dumb to give the fans what they actually want, unfortunately.
@@kowabonga3552 Up until the late 2010's, the general consensus was that fans HATED Silver and mocked him for his choices, design, or voice acting.
Silver has been my favorite since near the beggining, but I don't think you can blame Sega for being hesitant in this specific instance. As far as they're concerned, he's too risky to put a spotlight on again without comparison or mention of 06 (which Sega is afraid of).
@@DLxxx They shouldn't have rushed a product in the first place when they were literally burning Sonic Team up.
@@mazkeraid4039 Absolutely! They screwed up in ways thay will haunt them forever, but Sega is a company well known for self sabatoge and poor foresight.
You can find some cool documentaries that do a really good job covering the company's tumultuous history.
@@DLxxx I remember he got some hate, but there were plenty of fans of his even back then.
I really miss SIlver. I wish he somehow returned majorly in some more 3D action Sonic games a lot sooner instead of sometime in the future. Despite my wish and how long it has been, I still do not believe he will not return in a very, very new and surprising 3D game. I am never ever giving up on him. He was some character in my opinion. Some Silver fans and I will wait sometime longer and afterwards will see him majorly again, I know it.
Most of the fandom these days treats him better than Sega themselves.
From the time I played 06 I absolutely loved Silver, he became my favourite from the get-go
I know right silver is also one of my favorite characters tied to shadow
Great video man, Silver has always been my favorite Sonic character. I feel Silver could work great in a Sonic Unleashed rerelease where he has a side campaign that involves him going into the past to witness how the ancients aided light gaia with creating the gaia temples, since it was shown Frontiers the chaos emeralds came from the ancients. Make Sonic X Silver Unleashed happen Sega!!
silver is definitely a character who gets a lot of hate (personally I think people hate him just for the fact that his debut game was sonic 06). I personally do think he has a lot of potential as a character and the Archie and IDW comics have shown that silver can be a well written character to adapt. it’s a shame that sega hasn’t really done alot with him other than a few guest appearances in a couple of sonic games. he’s yet to have any cartoon roles and I kinda doubt we’ll see him in the movies anytime soon then again though I could be wrong
yeah, i really wish he’d get a chance to star in a show/cartoon too. it may be just my own personal opinion but they could’ve used his character in sonic prime to help nine with his redemption arc instead of the weird canon ending nine got. to start off, silver would’ve understood nine’s desperate need for a “perfect” world and being willing to do about anything to achieve that.
You are making a good point like I always question why do people make silver an idiot like silver isn't one he is a kind-hearted hero from the future like he is not like an idiot (unless he actually is but I don't want that)
I don't hate Silver but do I hate he's essentially used as a ball and chain to my 2nd favourite character in the franchise (Blaze), from folks shipping them to 06 unnecessarily retconning her backstory to be Silver' "support/mentor". In all honesty they're detrimental to each other since both are MC material in terms of design, powers and lore yet pairing them up actually weakens both.
It's so bad, that as sad as it sounds I'm actually glad whenever Blaze interacts with others without Silver being around and vice verse for Silver.
6:07 damn my guy is literally the green lantern of sonic series
fatherless weirdo.
You predicted that
Silver is apart of the big 3 for me personally (sonic shadow silver)
I dont feel like Sega has anything personal against Silver. Everybody has been shafted in recent years.
It's only lately they've been increasing their use. I do think that Shadow is a safer bet to test the waters of other characters to have the limelight, so I'm hoping they are gradually increasing other characters prominence
Even so, as my favorite character in the series, I really hope they bring him back. I remember reading that Silver is actually very popular internally at Sonic Team, but haven't been able to use it (presumably because everything after 06 focused on Sonic and Sonic only)
I personally got involved in the Sonic series with the Mario & Sonic Winter game. Silver became my favorite in the Sonic cast, and I then watched the cutscenes of Sonic 06. Watching his story first instead of being introduced by a horrible boss and gameplay is likely why I didn't have the bad first impression that ruined his image
GIVE HIM HIS OWN GAME SEGA!
YES.
YES
YES.
YES
They not gonna do that lol look what happened after shadow 05
A DLC for him in sonic X shadow would be really cool
I wonder if it has anything to do with Silver's telekinetic powers that he has not been playable in a normal sense since '06. Shadow's abilities in Shadow Generations shows off how much Shadow's style meshes well with high speed platforming mixed with some combat.
Plus, there is no real playstyle template for Silver unlike Shadow since the only reference point for Silver is '06.
I think Silver would be a perfect showcase of him playing a jack-of-all-trades character yet excels at one thing. Also, due to telekinesis being on the table, Sonic Team would have the perfect excuse to go crazy with level designs and mechanics.
the difference between Silver and Sonic is that sonic saves people and saves places, even the world or the universe, but only whenever it's necessary, or whenever he is made aware of it, the rest of the time he is very much a chill guy just enjoying his life, being free and hanging out with his friends, whereas silver very much lives for the idea of saving others, it's like a part of his personality, he is a hero because he couldn't help it, it's simply in his nature to do what is right, Sonic is just a guy that chooses to do the right thing when he is needed
Silver the hedgehog was the reason I came back to the sonic series after the GameCube line of games.
the games don’t feel the same without being to play as silver
06 was the first mainline game after the Gamecube games and is also the only game with Silver playable in it.
You're basically saying you came back to the series after an astounding zero games and then left because no other game plays like Sonic '06. What?
*@evdestroy5304* That is not totally correct as Silver is playable in side Sonic games such as the Riders games.
Pretty sure that's not what they're saying. They're just saying they came back for 1 game where Silver is in and he's the reason why they came back to the Sonic series but they never said they left again after Sonic 06. Only that playing as Silver was cool and you can no longer do that and that it's a shame.
@@kyurei4478I believe that it comment is Meme xd
@@ceter342 I don't think so cause it sounds serious and they modified to precise "mainline" game so it's almost certain it's not :/.
I just played Sonic P-06 and Silver is hands down the most exciting thing about the game imo. Absolutely love him and the fact that Sega is sleeping on him is insane. So much potential there.
Silver is extremely popular. Ban together and tell Sega you want him to have his own game. Be proactive.
Shadow generations is a perfect chance for like a teaser silver level or something. Think about it
He was in white space like shadow and sonic, meaning he was affected by the time eater reality erasure, THAT WOULD BE PERFECT
If we ever get Sonic Adventure 3 it would actually be epic to have a full story for Sonic Shadow and Silver. The Adventure games with the chao gardens are still the best.
I think Sega really needs to bite the bullet and attempt another Sonic ‘06 format game again. It was their biggest failure, and they need to prove/realise that it wasn’t a faulty format.
It like in gymnastics when you fail a hard move. You need to preform the trick successfully again to regain their confidence.
Hopefully Silver is hinted at the end of Sonic 3 and then they reintroduce silver again.
I cant beleive Silver is almost 20 years old! Wtf man he still feels new to me! 😂 im old af!
While I highly doubt Silver will get a game (sadly), I think it could be possible he’ll get a DLC of sorts in a future sonic game. The game I think is likely for this to happen is sonic X Shadow generations because that game gave silver atleast some sort of love when he got a boss fight and appeared in a few cutscenes.
I feel like all the Hedgehog characters should always take the frontline in the franchise, Silver should always be prominent in the story especially considering how powerful he is compaired with Shadow and Sonic. Here's hoping for a better role in future games!
Silver could've been that for a Sonic Adventure 3 2006 release but sega messed that up
I love your video about Silver~ if SEGA does give him a chance they better write him correctly than ruin him. I love how he was in 06.
I like Silver, I find him to be my favorite of the trio. I love his story in 06 and his awesome psychic powers that make him more unique than the other two
Man we got Sonic Frontiers And Shadow Generations, give us a Silver game similar to those two but more about his past, because 06 showed that he lived on that Future, so show him trying to survive in his future, meeting Blaze and all that good stuff (Silver is not a bad character, they just made a bad game from him to appear)
And even if you consider the fact that the game ended as it's events not happening, he still is at the future that is ruined, so yeah that does not justify this happening to one of the SSS trio
Thankfully P06 is finally doing him justice
Sonic X Shadow Generations Silver DLC would be the most optimal time to test Silver out. Instead, we get a Sonic movie DLC fml.
Just one stage with a platform stage and a boost stage, that's all it takes. But Sega are hacks.
After Tears of the Kingdom, I feel like a similar approach to physics would make Silver feel so unique and fun to play with the ability to move around objects freely, but I also fear that SEGA doesn't have the time or dedication to working on a physics based game like that.
Honestly i feel like in order for silver to even make sense in the current continuity is to change his backstory. Rn they say that he keeps coming back in time cuz his timeline keeps getting messed up but that makes 0 sense cuz silver got sent back in time by mephilis at the start. I think it would be so easy to just make him from Blaze's dimension
As a shadow fan, I always wanted more shadow games and him to be more involved in Sonic games like tails and knuckles. I also like knuckles and Sonic second and want a knuckles game too but shadow will always be my favorite but saying all this, I would still love to see more of silver and even a game all about silver too. He has a lot of potential to be a fan favorite and a really great character
I love silver & i miss him too, he deserve another chance.
Meanwhile Sega on their way to completely ignore silver fans
Silver is the Trunks of Sonic.
I agree, it would be so cool to see Silver get another chance. There are aspects of his character that I really like, such as his naive and hopeful personality. It contrasts well with Sonic's snark and Shadow's aloofness. Silver is just a desparate kid that grew up in an apocalyptic future, so I don't fault him for believing Mephiles easily. He saw a chance to finally get out of that hellhole and he took it. Heck, there are no people in sight in Crisis City, so Silver was probably delighted to even see another person.
Unfortunately, the likelihood of him having a central role again is very low. Because of his rocky start in 06, Silver remains a disliked character in the eyes of most people outside the Sonic fanbase (and some people within the fanbase, but more Sonic fans like Silver nowadays). The idea is that since 06 was bad, and Silver debuted in 06, that means everything about Silver must be bad too. The reason Sega doesn't push Silver out into the spotlight is because he's just not as marketable as Sonic or Shadow. But I can't really fault them for it, because if they did release a trailer for something like a Silver spinoff game, they'd probably get a lot of criticism.
i like Silver to an unhealthy amount...
The revisionist history I’ve been seeing with 06 is mind blowing
He’s gonna get another chance in Sonic Movie 4. I guarantee it.
Shadow ALSO is getting another chance in sonic movie 3 and because of fan popularity he’s now getting his own game and likely going to be in “Sonic Frontiers 2”
Literally my 2nd fave character in the franchise and he gets done so dirty. I want him back in the spotlight again whether its by himself or next to sonic and/or shadow again
I agree with everything you said in this video! I always say this but I’ll say it again… SILVER NEEDS TO BE RELEVANT AGAIN!
Sega should give him more credit where credit is due! He is one of the most relatable and loving characters in this franchise! HE DESERVES BETTER FROM SEGA!
I do appreciate all the love the fans give him tho. I think that’s the only reason why he hasn’t been forgotten and why Silver is getting more love and attention. More than Sega has ever given him after 06 that’s for sure
Silver deserves his own game and story
I used to hate Silver a lot at the beginning, I won’t lie. But later on I ended up really loving this character. Especially if you read his comics, they’re so good.
Im pretty sure if ian flynn can help it, we will probably get more silver media in the future... maybe in the sequel to sonic frontiers???? I think they were hinting this in sxs generations
Plz let “Year of Silver” be a thing in the future ❤️
Silver and Knuckles are my FAV Sonic characters! I don’t really like Sonic but I do tolerate him, but Silver I wish he had more spotlight 😩 I voted for him in the Super Smash ballot to be included in the game 😭
Мне нравится в Сильвере, что он, в отличие от того же Соника или Шедоу, до сих пор разбирается с собой. Если Соник - свободный оптимист, который хочет прожить жизнь на полную и поделится добром со всем миром, а Шедоу - спокойный и рассудительный ёж, который смог разобраться со своим прошлым и двигаться дальше со своими интересами, то Сильвер - это крайне неуверенная личность, которая может критично относиться с себе самому. Из-за своих переживаний и тревожности он не может раскрыть свой потенциал, хотя по силам он не уступает Шедоу. Он постоянно ошибается, и мне нравится это. Он не хочет быть бесполезным, он не хочет отсиживаться, когда другие действуют, он не хочет всех подвести, и это так сука жизненно! Хочется сказать ему: "Несмотря ни на что, я всё ещё верю в тебя! Удачи, герой!"
To be fair Sliver was not the only character to not be playable. It was like that with Rouge, Vector, and other characters until Sonic Superstar, frontiers, and Dream Team
The another chance = Sonic Movie 4
What I love about Silver is he can transport through time, fly with his shoes and coordinate chaos emeralds together to save peoples lives from dying.
Silver is my favorite character, I'm still waiting for a remake of 2006 since 2015 :(
Tbh Sega treat silver like the middle child
Honestly I love silver, he's one of my favourite characters alongside Shadow, Cream and Amy.
Same as mine silver is one of my favorite characters tied to shadow and sonic
I hope he at least will be important character in fourth movie
Sonic 06 needs a remake. It's really not that bad I love everything about it except the glitches
Oh boy if sega knew how much silver gets love by the fans then they wouldn't mistreat my baby boy!
I totally agree with you, Silver Sonic and shadow are my fav characters.
Funny enough as a kid i didnt run into any of the game breaking bugs and genuinely enjoyed the game although never beating it. (Think i beat silver and sonics story). Game had potential if they did it right. I find silver to play as because its not just like sonic and shadow where you run fast. He’s unique and has his own power that makes him fun to play as
And as a kid sonic kissing a princess honestly flies over your head
Great video! I agree he does need that second chance, and I'm excited to see if he will be in another game!
It's rough being a Silver fan. Especially after the kick incident. Ifykyk
Silver has always been my favorite too! been obsessed with him since I was a kid. still holding out hope that someday he’ll get a cartoon appearance. 😔 I really wanted him to be in Sonic Prime because I thought the dimension-hopping premise was perfect for him but that was a bust. would also love for him to be given a chance with a spin off game. like c’mon! he can go super just like shadow and sonic. iconic trio. he deserves to be up there with the other two.
Last summer Silver became my third favorite character from the Sonic franchise beside Sonic and Shadow, and 1 of the main reasons why I want to download P-06 when Chaos X has the final product available is so that I can play as that adorable telepathic hedgehog in a Sonic game that isn't either a spin-off game or a mobile one. I'm sick of the fact that those are the only kinds of Sonic games that he's currently a playable character in. I really hope that Paramount will make a Sonic 4 movie that can have the elements of 06 that were good ones adapted into it while changing the unwanted parts to be better or not adapting those parts in at all. If he gets put into the SCU (Sonic Cinematic Universe) then it would be more easy for Sega to see how much of a loved character Silver is from theater audience reactions, and learn that they should treat him better in future mainline Sonic games instead of continuing to leave him out of almost every single one of them! That studio might do it because it is easy to see that there is more hyper-realistic fanmade movie images of Silver online than any of the other characters who haven't been put into the already released Sonic movies. So it can be kind of easy for Paramount to see that he's the character who the fans want to see on the big screen next after Shadow gets the spotlight in the third Sonic movie.
Give him just one more chance, one new glance, and he will make of you another believer.
Thanks for the video! I love Silver as well. I really hope, he will appear in one of the Sonic movies with Blaze. I think it could be a good plot to reimagine the 06's story in a film. (...without Elise :'D)
Giving how Sega/Sonic Team FINALLY CARES ABOUT characters stories and respects the lore and it's characters I think it's time for Silver to get a spot light. Sonic Frontiers gave us the best story in years and fixed Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy characterizations and Shadow Generations finally killed that annoying image of Shadow being edgelord by showing how deep and complex he is...NOW IT'S TIME FOR SILVER TO SHINE...and I have two ideas how they could do it!
1) Do the game set in non canon future where after Blaze is gone, Silver evolves and becomes ESP Silver, when he achieved full potential of his power.
2) MAKE SONIC AND SILVER GAME. There's a Spider-Man game called Spider-Man: Edge Of Time (which is absolute banger btw) where we control both Peter's Spider-Man and 2099 Spider-Man from the future. Story involves 2099 future being changed so Miguel goes back in time to stop it and save Peter. Since Silver is basically Miguel O'Hara for Sonic, they could easily do a story where Sonic gets stuck in the future and Silver gets stuck in the past and they have to find the way back while also saving space time continuum. Plus anything that Silver does in the past effects the future and vice versa so it would lead to some interesting levels...PLEASE SEGA MONEY IS THERE!!!!!
I want to see a MGR inspired silver game..
Heck YES.
It's for things like this that i'm glad my introduction to the character was Sonic Rivals, hence why i never get the hate for Silver
Sliver is probably ready to force sega to make him a game or a year heck that hedgehog needs 5 years
I think the idw comics are handling silver quite well i really hope sega takes inspiration from the comics for silver to be a main character.
he's having it rough right now, but i'm glad at least the comics are one thing that give him attention
I loved 06 I was younger and didn’t notice any glitches I’m not gunna lie and it was cool playing as all those different characters the story was amazing and I didnt get stuck on the levels at all
When I first saw Silver in Sonic 06, I was curious to who the new Hedgehog was. When I looked up his story on TH-cam, I fell in love with Silver. I loved his powers, his backstory, everything. He's become my favorite Hedgehog. I was disappointed when Sega decided to just shove him into the background rather then becoming one of the main characters. There's so much they could do with Silver. I wish they would do it. I hope they do someday.
I need silver generations
Silver is my favorite character in the series by a wide margin. I recognize Sonic 06 as kind of a bad game, but I fell in love with his character in it and ever since have wanted to see more from the character. I get so excited whenever I even see a small mention of him or when he's just a side character. The IDW comics were such a treat for me because of how much spotlight he got and I really think of all the characters besides Sonic, he shined the brightest. I desperately want him to get some sort of solo game or comic series. He's just such a fun and compelling character to me.
giving silver an open zone game would be a golden opportunity. silver's powers and abilities fit the open-zone style so well and i'd love to see him as part of the main cast and as a playable character again.
Completely agree. Since frontiers ended with everyone going in their own direction, I feel the next game would be Sonic Shadow and Silver. While idk what scenario would bring them 3 of them together, it would check so many boxes. Sonic would be in it so it’d sell, people would get more Shadow after gen’s, and because he’d be a 3rd at most, Silver would get time to shine too, like shadow did in Gen’s. Lastly, a lot of people, myself included, like the hedgehog trio so again, it checks boxes. Maybe I’m just rambling but I like silver, and the others, so it’s about time we start swinging big again
we need Blaze again too. i love silver though
He is my legit favorite Sonic character right alongside Sonic himself, he’s so much of a cool yet funny character and his personality and development in 06 is amazing to me (even if I acknowledge shadows story is better overall) plus his powers are just so cool! Having the ability to levitate and attack foes by bashing others or even projectiles into an enemy is so cool! I just think they need a new idea on how to make it work and he could come back and be great once more.
I like Silver too. He's cool and his powers are super creative.
As a character, Silver really flew under the radar for me. Until I read the comics. And oh my god bless his heart.
At this point, I think the biggest reason Silver hasn't been given a chance at this point is because his gameplay style is way too different to just 'try out' for a level. Shadow can easily be tested out for a level since his gameplay style is VERY similar to Sonic, but Silver would need an entire different gameplay style and for a single level, it's just way too much manpower to create. Tails, Knuckles and Amy were tested out again in Frontiers because their gameplay mechanics (save for a couple character-specific gimmicks) were built off Sonic.
Sega doesn't hate Silver, the fact that he was in Forces and Blaze wasn't says a lot! The 06 hedgehog they DO hate though is Mephiles. :P
“Sega Has FORGOTTEN About Silver…”
*Has a crying Silver and some crossed out logo in the bg, for the Thumbnail.

You are so beautiful and underated, Silver. I love you.
I wonder if silver could be the second playable character for shadow generations.
Since we haven't seen any act two stages, there's so much 06 stuff in the game, he was a rival battle in the original just like shadow and he was one of the most popular character mods for generations.
