I wouldn't hold out too much hope for this project to be completed, sadly. Development has been off and on for many years. it's a great idea and looks fantastic! But it's a volunteer project and at one point the project died and they had to basically start over. Now if Sega would have thrown it's support behind it and done something like this for all the classic games instead of Sonic Origins, it would have been incredible! Can you imagine a HD version of all the classics in this visual style?
It was worse than died. It had a TON of drama involved. Basically power struggles over content. Which when it came to volunteer things was a death sentence. They were basically hand drawing all the assets and then putting them up for review. It was always going to be a painfully long process. I think this started like 10+ years ago, and even if they never stopped it might still not be done. I personally remember reviews of the attempts at the signpost Sonic when you beat a level. I think the original was intended to be kind of a slightly overhead angle view of sonic, and they couldn't nail that at high res. Clearly no one ever attempted to though and settled on just an original normal side view design. It looks good now, but doesn't match up 1:1 to the original. I just remember that conversation vividly.
Starting over isn't really accurate. All the art and stuff from before the project died was still retained as well as the music. Only thing that was redone was the programming. You are right that it's sort of off and on tho, but it is still being developed. Most of us are busy with things outside of the project so it's often hard to find time to work on it. That being said, there's quite a bit done since this last level that we'll hopefully be able to share soon. I don't know when the game will be completed, but even if slow one day it should be.
It's cool to see people still playing this demo even in 2022. I can't say when we'll have a new demo, but we're still working on the game slowly. Many of our key contributors have been busy with things outside the project so progress has been slow, but we're still making progress little by little.
There was a brief moment a few years ago when I would listen to Sonic 2 HD's remastered tracks on loop nonstop. This fan game is definitely one of my personal favourites.
Ok, I've seen quite a few games converted to HD with, let's say, "unfortunate" changes on the graphics, but this definitely sticks to the original! This is sooo neat!!
I only now understand why the devs are still working on S2HD to this day. They have to add stuff like cgi, extra frames, and plus draw the backgrounds and everything. If they are as lazy as I am, then it's way more understandable.
It is because unlike most with pass things through whatever filters or AI or whatever, this was ALL done by hand. Every single asset. Which is also one of the reasons it never finished.
It definitely looks impressive, no doubt, although I have to say I'm still a bigger fan of the charm of the original graphics. That said, I might change my opinion were there ever to be a finished version (including HD Mystic Cave, Aquatic Ruin and Wing Fortress Zones!). The one thing I'm loving with all these HD upscaled titles is the amount of love and attention that's ever-growing for the retro scene these days! Talk about how wonderful nostalgia can be....
@@Nightopian1982 I'm a big fan of HD remakes like these, because it's a chance to fix what's actually now broken on modern screens. We aren't seeing the old games in the intended way anymore, because the official re-releases are just scaling the games up to fit modern screens, thus stretching the pixels. And since we aren't on CRTs anymore, the effects like dithering are lost. Not that it's not possible on modern screens, but the pixel art needs to be much higher resolution for it to work, at least x4 the original size. So that's why things like the waterfalls are broken in this and Sonic 1. These HD remakes are not only a chance to have natively higher res graphics that are crisp, but also to breathe new life into the games that wasn't there before, like the extra animations here, Zone/Act transitions, etc. It's just like how gorgeous the PSP remakes of FF1, FF2 and FF4 were for me, the world looks so much nicer, it's really an example of how to properly bring an old game to a new system ^^
@@tamerkoh I've been fairly pleased with the upscalers/converter cables I've got for most of my retro consoles. General rule is the cheaper the cable, the less effective it is. My PSX one is fairly basic, and like the N64/SNES one is primarily for playing on a modern TV (the N64/SNES one does so however without stretching the image) and avoiding RF or the need for SCART converters. The Dreamcast one I have is pretty good too, and allows for immediate increase of game speed to 60hz instead of the standard PAL 50hz mode. The Saturn cable I have is by far the best though. Not only does it not stretch the visuals, the smoothing feature gives a very noticeable improvement in image quality. I'm chuffed with it. All I need now is a decent option for the Megadrive, although if Retro Gaming Cables have anything as good as their Saturn one, I might check that out. The one major thing I'm gutted about on modern TVs is the lack of support for lightguns (playing Virtua Cop, Time Crisis and House of the Dead with a control pad is a waste of time). I'm trying to source a CRT that doesn't require pickup from a location, as I don't own a car and they weigh a bastard ton. It's not as straightforward as I imagined.
For those that don't know, some of the people that worked on Sonic Mania worked on this fangame (Tee Lopes with the music, Tom Fry, and Jared Kasl from Pagodawestgames)
I loved this. Sonic two has always been my favourite. so many memories. Thank you for showing me this, looks sweet. The colour, music and looking so cool in HD, is wow, Tails spinn'in his tail at the extra cool. i cant believe this is a fan game. . I am lovin all this Sonic love, thanks to the movie. it would be cool if the released all the early Sonic games like this. Thank you BTG for the smiles.
It looks so good that it gos from sonic with a completely new level complete animation to the leaves moving in the wind, i also love how they connected the acts thats amazing
To think many discovered Tee Lopes in the old version of this project. Who would thought he would be composing for an official Sonic game many years later.
I've been following the development of this one for a while now. It looks SO good and I'm so excited (if this is finished I'm gonna go play this immediately) Sonic 2 is one of my favorite games bc its the first one I was able to play (not finish unfortunately at the time) on my own. Tails is my favorite character and he's so cute in this 👁💧👄💧👁❤
Great to see that game in the spot light again, 2 things : 1 - When Sonic goes really fast without spinning, it does an awesome animation of him running in the peel out fashion of Sonic Cd 2- When you defeat Robotnik in Chemical Plant Zone and he has the Blue Goo filled up in his flask, it actually falls on him, and only his big eyes shows through the goop in a very cartoony fashion Hope to see an update soon of that game, it has been a while...
Fyi, the top speed animation wasnt a Sonic CD peel out reference, it was my homage to the UKs Sonic The Comic. Its how he runs when drawn by my favourite artist Richard Elson :)
It's crazy to look at this fangame now, even after all these years it still looks awesome, and it gets eve more crazy once you discover that some of the people who worked on this also got to work on Sonic Mania, like Tee Lopes, he was the composer for this and also work on the Sonic Mania OST
I'm genuinely surprised that Darby has never called the "water" in Chemical Plant, well, *CHEMICALS.* I think that S2HD is actually still being worked on, and the small details are amazing. -Sonic, Tails, and even the terrain itselfget slightly redder when near Hill Top/Metropolis' lava -Sonic and Tails get slightly darker when in Emerald Hill/Hill Top's caves -Robotnik's machine in Emerald Hill is damaged on the last hit -Robotnik's glasses get cracked once defeated I so hope that someone, _ANYONE_ gets a dream that in the future, (like, Silver-time period future) a time traveller tells someone in the past that Sonic 2 HD is done. I believe it's still being worked on, so even if progress might be slow, one day it might be finished.
I just did a Hilltop themed Minecraft build for my channel, so seeing that particular zone reimagined in HD was really neat. I really liked the look of this demo. Hopefully they can add onto it in the future. Maybe someday I’ll actually beat Sonic 2. I always get stuck on Wing Fortress Zone if I even make it that far.
I'll be patient to wait for this to be fully complete since I do own an original Sega Genesis 16 bit and this brings back memories for me to play this game as a child and having fun.
This game is still in development, even though its very slow going but the next few zones are close to completion, including the special stages. I've played this and the first 3 zones are currently available.
I love the mod, and never would have known about it without you. Thank you for letting me see the mod! (Yes, this is me commenting, and I'm NOT putting an Omochao reference here.) (You deserve enjoyment of HD. Not annoyance and pain of Omochao!)
People don't understand the more these new versions come out the more the original gets water down nothing touches the original the music you can't touch and the game play you can't touch
This is atually pretty darn cool :D Oh also just to throw a little shout out here. If you havent tried them, Bunnie Rabbot in sonic 1 and Bunnie Robbot in sonic 2, and Sonic 2 Pink Edition are all really good stuff. They were actually my first sonic romhacks that add new characters with their own movesets and stuff that make you approach things differently. Its pretty damn cool, and the Bunnie Rabbot series actually gets an upgrade from 1 to 2 from what i recall. Its pretty fun stuffs :D
To me Sonic 2 was the best Sonic game of all time. One thing I’m not really understanding is how most custom remakes omit certain stages. I’m Sonic Mania & in this HD version they left out the stage after Chemical Plant (Aquatic Ruin Zone) 😢.
Also, I think the graphics style they were trying to make for this fanmade HD version of Sonic 2, was akin to the animation used to promote Sonic Mania. That short scene that starts with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles nearby one another
It looks cool. I feel privileged to see it but my hearts still with the original pixelated version. Maybe it's because I grew up playing this everyday from age 4 to 7 and the characters already seemed real. It's almost like this version has too much sugar. I just like the gritty pixels more. Again, grateful to witness this.
Sega should give them their blessing and let them finish it and release it in the digital stores. At least give the people who worked on this a little kickback for working on Sega's IP.
Hey Darby, whenever you feel so inclined do an audio comparison of S2’s Metropolis Zone, Hilltop Zone somewhere between 1.5-2x speed, and the song Wild Wild West by The Escape Club. It’s almost “Michael Jackson in Sonic 3 soundtrack” levels of similar!
OMG!its truly amazing! I love how they add extra animations and make the screen bigger it remind me of sonic the hedgehog 4 II and sonic mania at the same time
I think this video was awesome!! Also, I think you (Blue Television Games) should play Sonic 3 & Knuckles as Tails, also if you do play it, good luck on the Marble Garden act 2 boss!
Imagine If THIS is what Sonic Origins looked like. That would be amazing I stead of essentially the mobile ports and a few extra modes. This Full on HD Remake is So Beautiful all I ask is why does Sega not do things like this it shouldn't take too much effort from a big studio. I mean the music the Animations all of it looks and sounds Stunning.
Thanks to everyone that suggested this one! I loved it!!!

This remake looks amazing. Although I don’t know why they did hill top zone instead of aquatic ruins zone which comes after chemical plant zone.
They could finish Hill Top first because its tiles are Emerald Hill's recoloured

Looks like the removal of the kick defeat method made the Mega Mack more lethal in the Chemical Plant Zone Boss fight.
Im sure they are working on Aquatic Ruin Zone and you can also access Debug Mode!
This would be cool if Sega remade these games but with these graphics
For your information, the pink Robotnik in HillTop zone that rises out of the lava is called a Rexon

Also, I think you (Blue Television Games) should play Sonic 3 & Knuckles as Tails, also if you do play it, good luck on the Marble Garden act 2 boss!
Imagine If THIS is what Sonic Origins looked like. That would be amazing I stead of essentially the mobile ports and a few extra modes. This Full on HD Remake is So Beautiful all I ask is why does Sega not do things like this it shouldn't take too much effort from a big studio. I mean the music the Animations all of it looks and sounds Stunning.
The problem with being faster than light is that you can only live in darkness.
