Led by director Takashi Iizuka and producer Yuji Naka, the team strove to reinvent Sonic for the 3D era of video games. Sonic Team began developing Sonic Adventure in 1997, after the cancellation of the Sega Saturn game Sonic X-treme. Players can play minigames such as racing and interact with Chao, a virtual pet. Sonic Adventure retains many elements from prior Sonic games, such as power-ups and the ring-based health system. Controlling one of the six characters-each with their own abilities-players complete levels to progress the story. It follows Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose, Big the Cat, and E-102 Gamma in their quests to collect the Chaos Emeralds and stop Doctor Robotnik from unleashing Chaos, an ancient evil.

In addition, all new features of the more recent Xbox consoles work, including the ability to take screen grabs and record and share video of gameplay.Sonic Adventure is a 1998 platform game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Dreamcast. The opening screen appears first then the game will load.Īll other aspects and features that would normally be available on an Xbox 360 or Xbox are available on the Xbox One/Series X/S too, including the hub on the former (which can be opened through a simultaneous press of the menu and view buttons on the Xbox wireless controller). When a supported game is started on the machine, the current or last-gen console opens the emulator and, in all regards, the game works as if it was running on an Xbox 360 or 2001 Xbox. The Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S are able to play Xbox 360 and original Xbox games through emulation software that makes your console think it's a last-generation machine for the purposes of playing classic games.
