And I'm all for that now. SA2 has been out for decades, and Sonic hasn't seen a good game since generations so at least we can make something decent out of this old game.
One of the creators, Hoppy told me which levels he thought fit the changes the best. Went through the list, which was pretty fun. While the physics are slowed down, It definitely fits the levels and feel better. Also the turning improvement is pretty cool as it doesn't jerk as much which helped alot on sloped angles. Hoppy actually told me Wave Ocean does not fit the changes well, but wanted to see it as it would be funny. ^^
@@amaniwhite9622 The sonic 06 curse strikes again. lol seriously though it's just due to the mach speed. Sonic goes extremely fast there, so touching the control can make you turn like craazy.
Might sound weird, but SA1 and SA2 speed is pretty much perfect. Level design (imho) tanked a bit when they sped it up too fast (heroes, shadow the hedgehog, etc). Then they doubled down and gave us the boost games, which feel like a different series altogether. Really like watching this project progress
@@victortunisse6686Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic 06 were very misguided on the whole but they still managed to deliver some very memorable level design.
This is sonic, not bland boring empty open world. This is colorful, lively, action packed gameplay that makes sonic awesome. Not everything needs to be open world
Love the level design of the ice stage, but if I were to give some constructive criticism to the devs: Please fix the sound mixing. Sonic's shouts and some of the BGM's are at all different volumes, and honestly does he really need to scream "GO" after a simple homing attack? It'd be better to just have a simple quiet grunt. Apart from that I'd tweak Sonic's character design a bit. His shoes seem way too big for his body
Are there any plans on changing the rail grinding? By the looks of it, in its current state it looks fairly "automatic". Personally, I think that takes some of the fun out of it. I like the SA2 grinding quite a bit, even if it was wonky at times.
Good lord the audio mixing on the new voicelines is terrible. I remember this mod seeming neat when it was just nicer looking models and stuff but this looks, honestly, pretty poor now. It feels like they tried to turn sa2 into 06 and mismatch voices from ryan and jason into one mod. The GO on homing attacks is actually awful. It looks and sounds rough as far as I can tell, which is a shame but hopefully some improvements are made sooner than later. I cant even get a good tell on how different the physics are since its on stages that dont exist in sa2, which I think is a missed opportunity to show how level design would be approached differently or handle differently.
The first level seemed incredibly fun at first but then it just kept dragging on, seemingly not knowing how to properly conclude. The later level design suffers from that unfortunately, which kinda turned off any motivation I had for trying it 🥲
Hoppy said he doesn't like the second act, so he actually made an easy mode of the mod, which has multiple goal rings. (Pretty sure once the ice ring starts)
@@sonicovertime oh wow, I never knew that. they are still very much talented when it comes to level design, I just wasn't personally a fan of the second act 😅 thanks for letting me know!
This looks like a fangame more than sa2 in my eyes
Seeing SA2 get tweaked that much where it looks like a fangame, is in and of itself pretty exciting.
at this point it might as well be

@@sonicovertimeagreed
@@traionjones711since generations is wild. We literally have Lost World, Mania, SCU, Origins, Frontiers, and Superstars.

Wave ocean. Of course not. That level always has problems.

11:46 - what an amazing physics - Sonic is going THROUGH everything without losing his life...
I think it’s really neat
It’s amazing how even the most misguided of 2000s Sonic games had level design so good that it’d be worth salvaging over a decade later.
Misguided?
@@victortunisse6686Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic 06 were very misguided on the whole but they still managed to deliver some very memorable level design.
@@nickdegugs7190 But this game is Sonic adventure 2
I've always found Sonic's slower running animation speed to be a downgrade while finding Shadow's slower skate animation to be an upgrade
I actually feel the opposite. This mod is an absolute marvel but shadows fast yet smooth skating in his original sa2 animation is dearly missed for me

fun fact: every single speed stage in vanilla SA2 starts off with you not having ground control of the character

Glyphic Canyon looks from shadow the hedgehog game💀
Awesome video
Hey there Overtime! I was just watching some Disney channel shows.
Nice, I need to watch the last season of the own house still sometime.
@@sonicovertime Specifically, Shows From 2014-2016.
Nice
Hi I followed you on discord, how can I get this physics link ?
Isn't there a mod to fix the "standing still" animation after spin dashing?
That looks quite nice.
the camera seems a bit too attached to sonics movements, maybe if it were a bit loose it could feel better?
Good balance!! I want to see more stages
*That's Cool!*
this is how sonic adventure 3 looks like
great video
how do you get the soap shoes?
I like how people never add those garbage footstep noises. It keeps the game clean
Is it just me or does it feel like this could end up having a Roblox version which would be exactly the same or incredibly similar?
Sonic Onset Adventure is rather close to SA2 honestly, so yeah
The SA1 Spin Attack really needs to be used, whats here is weird
Wait how does he have the soap shoes, doesn't the mod give him his normal shoes?
If I did want to play a mod, how would it work?😅
Oooo😮
This is pretty cool, but Im gonna miss Dex after August :(
He's gonna leave the fandom in august?
No, he'll be taking a break from modding
That looks no near a modern sa2 it looks like it’s still a beta game the resolution looks modern but the platforms do not
Sonic Adventure II Battle DX,Recut Ultimate Edition.
Sonic and Shadows have 0 acceleration and speed, it feels slower than the original SA 2.
Damn

No way your telling me that this game is sa2😂
oh hell naw that first level sucked you did it perfectly and only got a C Rank too??? you had almost 400 rings
Omg for the first time ever I'm so early plz pin?
You get the first of the day heart. :)
