I know I pitched it as a Knuckles Spinoff but I think Sonic Boom would've been better as a Silver-centered spinoff. It would've helped with the branding issues. Sonic Boom was supposed to be a western-centered spinoff with a different story that was scrapped. Using Silver would've given them the ability to retool the series for what they think a western audience would want/need. Silver is a character set 200 years after Sonic's time. So its easier to keep seperate from the main title and scrap if it fails. He's a time traveller so you could always just reset it like DC's Flashpoint. Plus time travel makes crossover with the main cast easier.
Plus Silver could be tweaked more easily to fit the Jak and Daxter style vibe the game was going. His 06 gameplay style was modeled after Knuckles and Rogue. It's more about exploring and puzzle solving, treasure hunting etc which is what Jak and Daxter has broadly.
this would've been a cool unlockable skin.
I was a big fan of the "Ghosts of The Future" fan comic. Silver is written like a Peter Parker like everyman and I think its a good hook for Silver.
A potential subplot is Silver being trained by an older version of Shadow.
Forces doesn't really need a remake but i think would've been better as a Shadow-centered storyline. Having him struggle with replacing Sonic as the Big Good of the Sonic world would be an ideal challenge for him as a character. Shadow is defined by his trauma from what he expierenced back on the Ark in Adventure 2. Having him try to pay it forward by consoling a traumatized Cream or Tails would've been great.
Shadow's problem is similar to Tails. They are both stuck in roles they outgrew along time ago. Shadow outgrew the "arrogant rival" role by the time of 06. It would've been better if you just used someone else in that- like Jet from Riders. A good rival for Shadow would've been Fang as he is a sniper and a mercenary. And that would play well against Shadow being a GUN agent. You could even have him becoming Infinite in a Shadow-centered version of Forces. Which isn't that different from Infinite's backstory anyway.
2026 is right around the corner so Sega should definetely redo Sonic 2006. The best rewrite of 06's story would be this guy's work. So i'd just buy it off him if I was Sega and adapt it.
