Could you build this?
Partial A fan rewrite of a 3D rail shooter is feasible to vibe-code as a game engine and gameplay loop. However, a faithful version depends on original art, models, audio, and reverse-engineered game logic that a builder doesn't own.
What it would actually take: The core is a 3D game in an engine like Unity, Godot, or Unreal, with rail movement, enemy AI, and shooting. The hard parts are recreating or licensing the original assets and matching the original's timing and feel, and the project carries Sega IP risk.
