Mods like these makes me wish the adventure gamestyle had a longer life span.
It's should be every 2 years. Boost game, then adventure game. Every 3 years is a classic mania sequel. Boom show me the money
This level could have very well been real if SA2 level DLC existed back in the day.
dlc did exist, and sa2 had it
let's also not forget the battle revision of the game, releasing well after the dlc and porting some of it, as well as adding content of its own
Level DLC was Thing back then. They truly didn’t give af to add more
@@Imadeyoumad288 more like they had like 3 people do the dlc and battle port, the team tasked with it simply didn't have the resources to make levels, don't blame the devs, blame corporate sega, again
@@Imadeyoumad288 I would say limitations, time constraints and launching the game on a discontinued console announced before the game came out, instead of just not giving a fuck.
If they did have the ability to do level dlc it would be limited to content on the disc with custom models/items being sparsely made as the dlc would most likely take forever to download and take up a whole vmu or a huge chuck of a gcn memory card.
I always love SA2 levels and this one is gigantic! There's sooo many paths. 10:20 is where the lost chao would be found.
Is this the PC version? Where was this level when I played it on the gamecube? I missed out, yo!! 😭😭
This level is fanmade & breaks unwritten rules for Sonic Adventure 2 such as only 1 Gold Beetle per mission layout. We don't have our own Kaze completely reconstructing the game like Super Mario 64 has so full level creations for SA2 are quite rare.
Love seeing completely original fan levels, thanks for showcasing this.
This SA2 level looks like a weird combo of SA1 and SA2 level design... I would definitely give it a try, but it looks extremely weird if I'm being honest...
When you put "INCREDIBLE" in the title, it's never clickbait.
We need more fan made SA2 content!!!
Agreed! I would be playing SA2 so much more if there were more mods. It's my favorite Sonic game. :)
A *critical* hit on quality content
Sonic really do be critical reefin
As always though, your worst enemy is the camera
Wow, massive level. If this was a real level, it would definitely need more checkpoints. It's way too big to navigate for a beginner. Other than that, it looks incredible
🔵💨💨💨💨💨💨💨
Really thought this said Critical Beef.
🤣 I'm not sure if Critical Beef would be a food based level or people arguing throughout the zone.
@@sonicovertime XDD
Seems like the stage tests your abilites a lot of times. Looks great, sometimes too open for adventure style imo, but overall with the amount of work put into it it's something new! Really fresh!
This is awesome, feels like a fun ride. It definitely has a SA1 vibe to it where everything is manual and open.
This feels a bit more technical than most Sonic stages, definitely meets the expectation that comes with the "Extra" stage label.
Looks fun!
Wow! I've always wanted good custom levels for this game! We finally got there!!!
The level design philosophy is very reminiscent of kingdom valley in 06 which was a banger level
Had a feeling you'd be covering this one lol. Had a crack at this level myself this morning, thought it was pretty mid personally. Felt all over the place. Glad you enjoyed though at least.
Hey there Overtime! I've never seen this level before!
*Very Incredible!*
series a good day a bigger sa2 mod with a new story, levels, enemies, characters and bosses
Awesome music
I miss the era of Sonic games where you could actually control the character instead of pressing a button and watching the level fly by. They tried to turn it into a racing-style game, but without any opponents trying to beat you to the finish line. The idea that Sonic is effortlessly fast rather than building up to an incredible top speed through parkour kills everything that made those games so much fun. If speed isn't even a challenge, then why do I want to go fast?
6 Golden Beetles . That's a LOT.
THIS SA2 physics is what I wanted sonic frontiers to be... Nothing automated, maybe some bits of a loop when needed but that's it. In frontiers I feel I can't do what I want (and if so, it looks and feels weird like when jumping off from rails), it's a false freedom feel, but with this physics would be another story.
its really not automation that's the problem, it was balanced fine in frontiers
forces overused it
@@kaosagamerreal in frontiers if you run a "thin" path without being a loop and you go full speed it's that annoying mechanic of LB RB to step left center right... in SA2 as long as it was not a loop, you can move free to the sides with analog, thats automatic or almost in frontiers (never played forces, never will) and all games after SA2 raios were semi to full automated, never balancing nor having any difficulty to change between parallel rails.
First of all, automation it's not related to physics nor is freedom.
And second, this is probably the worst example possible when making a point about level design and freedom. This is just a big mess that wanted really hard to look cohessive but failed in the same moment as you notice that the level design was not even made for the SA2 physics. Imagine a random SA level, put it inside a blender and sellect the slowest pacing you can think of, then add slope physics oriented parts and then just paste it into an SA2 loader forgetting completely that _SA2 rating sistem_ does not reward exploration in Sonic/Shadow levels. (btw no, finding an upgrade won't wive you an A rank, and this level doesn't even have upgrades to begin with, Rings or some slow af paced platforming section aren't enough reward to the player for wasting 15 minutes of doing nothing)
One last thing, SA and SA2 had a lot more automation that you think, just try count every dashpad you see and you'll know what i'm talking about. Or try to Move after passing a ramp or a launcher, same with SA, but the fact that it have less of them actually make it worse lmao, automation it's not a bad thing when your camera it's utter sh1t.
Geez, Sonic fans never know sh1t about level design but they somehow get angry when their crappy close-minded feedback isn't taken seriously by devs.
@@guardraillovah7753 @Guardrail Lovah never said anything about how you get ranks or such, or that I'm a super master of knowledge as you seem to be, just that frontiers have no naural feel for me, and it seems even the world for frontiers is not made for it's own physics anyways. And no, never said this stageopenworldorwhatever had sense, but that with a sa2 control probably could enjoy something what frontiers had to offer.
SA and SA2, shitty cameras and SOME dash panels here and there, still replayable for me, and free, even if you say it has nothing to do with auto, and Frontiers, well, for ME it was a finish and delete. Even people not on sonic games tried both and immediately said frontiers felt like shit
What the name of the song used in this stage?
6:48 Huh, i'm wondering how they got the rocket to take directional input like this?
Why they didn't have something like this as a bonus level nstead of G R E E N H I L L Z O N E is anybody's guess.
Green Hill Zone in SA2 was actually super hype back in the day. Being one of the first times ever it was seen in 3D. Plus it wasn't DLC it was a completely unexpected Bonus Stage. One of the best unlockables in a game to this day.
I get that Green Hill is everywhere now, but that's not SA2s fault. lol
@@sonicovertime I agree, I don’t mind an old stage or two every now and then especially if we get to earn it like in this game
@@sonicovertime Sega has many powers but their ability to retroactively poison cool things like a rare GHZ reappearance, cool alternative playstyles/characters and even Boost gameplay is their greatest one.
I’m surprised SA2 doesn’t have more original stage mods considering it’s one the most beloved sonic games ever.
Ngl Sonic Adventure 2 should’ve had more levels and better levels in the first place and this is a perfect example of one like Sonic Adventure 2 didn’t even feel like an adventure it sucked
The aesthetics look pretty great in this stage but the layout could probably use some work. Seems very cramped and packed with enemies/obstacles that prevent you from maintaining speed for more than a few seconds at a time, and the general scale and proportions of the level layout seem too small for a character like Sonic to navigate through. I haven't played sa2 in years but I feel like examining the "rhythm" of the original levels and how the speed sections and obstacles are paced out is something the developer(s) should do if they end up making another stage mod.
I also feel like it could've used more fixed camera angles instead of relying on the free camera 100% of the time; I'm sure some people will disagree with this but I prefer the approach to cameras that most newer Sonic games have because I'm not really a fan of having to fidget with the camera at all when playing a level. Though i've heard before that adding fixed cameras to sa2 stages is apparently a nightmare to deal with, so in the end I'll give the stage a pass for that.
Peak
I'm only two minutes in and this already blows Frontiers out of the water with its dull open world thats more about forcing you down one direction, trapping you into 2D sections if you stumble over a dash pad than true freedom and its copy pasted Cyberspace levels.
I think this stage would fit better in Sonic 06 but it’s still amazing
Is there a mod that makes Sonic run faster in SA2? I honestly don't enjoy when Sonic runs in a straight line and doesn't put his arms behind him, he needs a 45 degree incline path or a speed pad to go faster
Am I imagining it or is he just sort of jogging through the whole thing? Like his speed is capped lower than usual.
this one level alone is better than frontiers in its entirety
Reaching
So, level design genius, tell us why.
We're waiting.
Woah, a SA2 speed stage with level design
Just saying, aesthetically speaking, this looks a lot better than all the actual Sonic/Shadow levels in the game.
If this was a Generations Mod I would so play this.
HOW I PLAY IT
I DOWNLOAD IT BUT NOTHIN IS HAPPENING HELP PLEASE
The level is nice, kinda GUN secret military ice base but, is it amazing? Not really for me. This level is too big for me, too much stuff etc. Levels in SA2 were balanced and well designed but here is just, a bit too much. Great concept but not the best in my book.
E
You seriously need to go work for SEGA! I would play the crap out of these levels all the time! 👍
I don’t like Sonic adventure 2s run animations
Honestly, SA ones are a lot better.
Sonic fans when linear design in Forces: UGH! THIS SHIT SUCKS ASS. WORST SONIC GAME EVER!!
Sonic fans when linear design in SA2: WOWZERS!! THIS IS PEAK SONIC LEVEL DESIGN! ALL THE """"ALTERNATE""" PATHS REALLY SHOW THE PEAK OF GAYMING!!!!!!
Metal harbor reskin
Not at all, really
