Well, the thought came to me when I read that Shinobi was originally meant for the Dreamcast, not the PS2 and how Seaside Hill was still lumped with the Dreamcast-era of Sonic games.

It also got me thinking of Shadow's game which my gut feeling sys they recycled Sonic Heroes to make that game, as well as the fact it's a sixth-gen console game.

We have to remember that Sonic Team and SEGA are different entities.
Sonic Team could treat some sixth-gen console Sonic games as Dreamcast era but that doesn't mean SEGA treat that way too to other games.

There's almost no difference between pre-Sammy or post-Sammy.
Sammy let SEGA made any games SEGA wanted (just like SEGA did with Atlus).
They're not overprotective parents like Nintendo.

Sammy still butchered Sega and turned them into a Frankenstein subsidiary, so not exactly the same as before.

That's just your opinion, a Frankenstein subsidiary wouldn't be able to produce fantastic titles such as Yakuza and Valkyria Chronicles series.

I've watched it but things have changed since then.
Of course Sammy and SEGA's relationship weren't all sunshine and rainbow, but in the end SEGA could do most of anything they want in creative term and that's a win in my eyes.
