@Totaya17 So you buy sonic 2 hd for pc? You put the cd in the drive? Sorry I sound so stupid saying this I'm just really looking forward to getting this game. It has the extra levels and you can play as knuckles. When do you think this is coming out?
That fits well into the 'hope for the best, expect the worst' statement. Hope Sega sees the shit they're making, but expect with the fact that they have constantly done it for years now, that nothing is really gonna change.
what language is this written in? I honestly can't tell if it's a C variant or Java. or maybe you cheated and used a program. the physics and collision detection system are looking alright, but I think the clock is running a tad fast. could just be fps though. all power to you.
lol the new alpha release looks much better :P but yeah considering the time they took to make one level we wont see full release in another 4 - 5 years or so x)
I'd def. buy this game. Sonic 2 is one of the best games ever, IMO. Frankly the graphics and the music helped MAKE the game as awesome as it is. True the graphics weren't amazing. But they stood out, and they still stick w/ me to this day. As does the music. A rebuff version of that? I'd pay top dollar for.
@PikaChamp112 In my defense, my message was a response to someone else, who said that people who criticize Sonic games are not "true fans". So, I didn't just come out with the "true fan" idea myself. But still, I think that there are a set of "original fans" and "newbie fans". The original fans were born in the late 70s to mid 80s and grew up playing the original Sonics as kids. The newbie fans are those who started with the 3D games and later. They are really two wholly separate groups.
@sonicgamer06 Eerrr... Honestly, I dont even remember what I've done :D, just the fact I could push a button that change the gravity, dont think it's the debug mode, but I really dont remember.
When they are dinish with this remake of the game. This should be on Playstation Network and XBOX Live Arcade. I dunno about Wii Ware because the Wii only go to 480p.
Sonic 2's graphics are amazing. Think about when this game was made. It might not be that polygon shit everyone likes now-a-days but graphically, Sonic 1-3 still delivered.
WHY CAN'T SEGA JUST GIVE US CLASSIC SONIC AGAIN? I mean really, fan games are more exciting to play than what sega dishes out now. Honestly back when sega did sonic right no one was complaining about how dull it was because it wasn't! The sonic formula then shouldn't have changed so drastically to what it is now.
@Finalflash50 I mostly think it's a free game, since it's not by SEGA, but by fans. After, for the release, I dont know, I just hope we dont have to wait a while :O. You should also try Sonic Fan Remix, still a short game, but good.
To the below. What messed up Sonic in 3d was the automating of everything, making it less fun. All loops or other are done via speed boosts and what not. Even hitting enemies, because the physics are too fast for 3d. It's impossible to jump on an enemy on there own. It's not that's it's full 3d, they just had no idea as to convert it into 3d, so it became sloppy. Semi-auto cams are also a mess as well. Fully manual cams are much better for all situations, it's also more retro feeling.
New Super Mario Brothers is a side scroller with a 3d Mario, and it is a great game. Sonic Rush wasn't classic sonic, but it was much better than Heroes. Sega should stick to improving Rush to the quality of the old school games.
@KennethMoreland: "Where are the true fans at?" I'll give you a hint: Not playing as a werehog. True fans don't just follow whatever lame crap the company throws out. This is a great project. Continue playing as Shadow in his 3-D adventures if you like.
The 3D games were good, at least in my opinion SA and SA2 was good. I haven't played Unleased yet to give my opinion of it. But I still prefer the original 2D games. They're still alot of fun to play even to this day.
Wow!!! This is awesome! love the remastered music!!! 4 times the resolution this looks great! Dammit!!! Sega should stop making crappy sonic games (Werehog WTF!?!) and atleast remake this and rerlease it on PSN and Xbox LIVE just like this!!!
@MrRiddleCT what? sonic 4 has great graphichs for beeing a 2D sidescroller ( note: 2D sidescroller not 3Ds idescroller like sonic fan remix or duke nukem manhattan project). and sonic 4 has better graphichs than new super mario bros wii, soo yeah
@Junanagou The physics are ripped straight from Sonic 3. And the graphics are a lot better than the original Sonic 2. It's just that this guy's computer being recorded raped the frame-rate and it makes the physics look jerky. And the graphics have been updated a lot since this video.
my gosh do we have to go too "old school sonic is good but new generation is bad!"or "new generation sonic is bad" again!look we can all agree that sonic was great sometime!who agrees with me!
@TranceCore3 By amazing I was pitting them against other things that were out at that time, that people would think was better. Like you said, wasn't the that polygon stuff, it didn't need 3D stuff. Most of that is to compensate for a crappy game. Sonic didn't need that.
IT SURE IS BUTTHURT AROUND HERE I just said that if this were to be released as a downloadable title it would probably be released on the Wii first then make its way to XBLA and PSN
Wow 15 years later and we’re so early in still
Nice job, glad the music stayed intact. Sounds even crisper than before.
This looks really good I look forward to seeing the final product.
katakisLives 9 years later; creating special stage
What awesome music remixes! This Sonic 2 HD is going to be great!
Where can I get the music? It's awesome.
i think you can't download the demo anymore
@Zawicki1 not it isn't, you clearly don't know what HD is. HD isn't better graphics. If it were HD, it would be in 16:9
@Totaya17 it is a completly free game. It will be a digital download :)
This Game Is Beautiful Now!
So early in development
It's...not HD
@Nicky02468 Well...there is a Sonic 3 HD. But it's not affillated with Sonic Retro.
This is outstanding work!
Sonic Retro: C++.
Is there a Mp3 file of the ending music, because the remake sounds 10 times better than the original!
I just finished having fun with this demo.
simply...beautiful.
Oh god I can't wait to see what becomes of this.
hey
you didn't see their new project
it is great
they finally listening to us. :):)
@Totaya17 So you buy sonic 2 hd for pc? You put the cd in the drive? Sorry I sound so stupid saying this I'm just really looking forward to getting this game. It has the extra levels and you can play as knuckles. When do you think this is coming out?
how do u get the demo!
Should be cool to see how this turns out. Needs more blast processing though.
nice graphic and the music is awsome
Hey what system console is this for?
Finalflash50 the sega pc windows
@Finalflash50 Errr... PC ?
obviously, i came to check it out. i shared my thoughts, and then you came along
I can only assume it doesn't take this long to polish a game that's already there.
i love the music and the cool chartoony pixeled look -downloads-
That fits well into the 'hope for the best, expect the worst' statement.
Hope Sega sees the shit they're making, but expect with the fact that they have constantly done it for years now, that nothing is really gonna change.
At first I thought this game looked good, but now I can clearly see that it's exactly the same as Sonic 2 with better graphics and music.
amazing the songs remastered so cool.
This game is being released in its Alpha TONIGHT! YESSS!
@Totaya17 Yes this is a free game. It will have a free alpha demo coming in quarter 2 of 2011. unless more time is needed.
This looks so much better than Sonic 4 already.
i honestly couldn't care less about graphics on a 17 year old game, but like i said, more power to you
what language is this written in? I honestly can't tell if it's a C variant or Java. or maybe you cheated and used a program.
the physics and collision detection system are looking alright, but I think the clock is running a tad fast. could just be fps though. all power to you.
What systems will it be downloadable to?
SuperNintendoGameboy the sega pc windows by Microsoft
Did you use debug mode??
lol the new alpha release looks much better :P but yeah considering the time they took to make one level we wont see full release in another 4 - 5 years or so x)
I'd def. buy this game. Sonic 2 is one of the best games ever, IMO. Frankly the graphics and the music helped MAKE the game as awesome as it is. True the graphics weren't amazing. But they stood out, and they still stick w/ me to this day. As does the music.
A rebuff version of that? I'd pay top dollar for.
@Rationalific check out sonic fan remix demo
erm... genaration level?
@DJman601 Yeah I know that now. I didn't know about fan games before, but I do now.
This is the best REMIX of this song!!
Like I said. Sonic Team is in a deep hole that they can't pull themselves out of.
did i say it wasn't different? no i did not. i said it wasn't different enough for me to care. if you care, more power to you.
@zyriuz2 Sonic 4? Great Graphics?? [flamewar starts]
Guess we gotta wait a long time eh?
Yes
"Hiverbrain"?
awesome song!!
@Finalflash50 It's a fan made game you can't buy it in stores and it wasn't even made by sega it's not a CD you download it on your computer
@noah91198
It's already like that, except with scrolling.
AMEN BROTHER
This is a great find.
@METALLICAOWN lol this is not a remix..
@PikaChamp112 In my defense, my message was a response to someone else, who said that people who criticize Sonic games are not "true fans". So, I didn't just come out with the "true fan" idea myself.
But still, I think that there are a set of "original fans" and "newbie fans". The original fans were born in the late 70s to mid 80s and grew up playing the original Sonics as kids. The newbie fans are those who started with the 3D games and later. They are really two wholly separate groups.
Like a great Turtle once said. "Some people just can't handle change."
@sonicgamer06 Eerrr... Honestly, I dont even remember what I've done :D, just the fact I could push a button that change the gravity, dont think it's the debug mode, but I really dont remember.
What... no Tails?
When they are dinish with this remake of the game. This should be on Playstation Network and XBOX Live Arcade. I dunno about Wii Ware because the Wii only go to 480p.
Sonic 2's graphics are amazing. Think about when this game was made. It might not be that polygon shit everyone likes now-a-days but graphically, Sonic 1-3 still delivered.
It just started development.
the thumbnail of this video
hmm, now when you can play sonic fan remix demo,wich has great graphichs (like sonic 4) and you can also play emerald hill zone act 1 and 2 in it ^.^
WOW The song at the end it just.....
@socalkev ear piercing?
WHY CAN'T SEGA JUST GIVE US CLASSIC SONIC AGAIN? I mean really, fan games are more exciting to play than what sega dishes out now. Honestly back when sega did sonic right no one was complaining about how dull it was because it wasn't! The sonic formula then shouldn't have changed so drastically to what it is now.
@AdventureAndySnM Yes it is. You clearly haven't played the game.

@BassDS1990 I agree, I enjoyed Sonic unleashed. I don't see what the problem was with it.
To the below.

The ending music needed to be longer.

It looks great other then the music. It's a bit overpowering, maybe too loud?
@AdventureAndySnM Good point...SONIC THE HEDGEHOG HQ THEN! :D High quality!
I agree. Sonic 2 was the best. He looks funny in 3.
Wow!!! This is awesome! love the remastered music!!! 4 times the resolution this looks great! Dammit!!! Sega should stop making crappy sonic games (Werehog WTF!?!) and atleast remake this and rerlease it on PSN and Xbox LIVE just like this!!!
@MrRiddleCT what? sonic 4 has great graphichs for beeing a 2D sidescroller ( note: 2D sidescroller not 3Ds idescroller like sonic fan remix or duke nukem manhattan project). and sonic 4 has better graphichs than new super mario bros wii, soo yeah
@Steph9827 Haha! Thanks!
Are they making Sonic 3 too? Sonic 3 is the best 2D sonic. Oh, Sonic 3 and Knuckles actually
great job guys. =)
This remix aint half bad.
@Rationalific
Does that mean you're not going to be playing Sonic Generations then? Sucks to be you.
no, sonic 2.
@Junanagou The physics are ripped straight from Sonic 3. And the graphics are a lot better than the original Sonic 2. It's just that this guy's computer being recorded raped the frame-rate and it makes the physics look jerky. And the graphics have been updated a lot since this video.
My childhood, in HD!
nice song
Man! I want this game so badly! But I have an Acer, so according to this game's website, I don't think my computer will be able to run it smoothly.
my gosh do we have to go too "old school sonic is good but new generation is bad!"or "new generation sonic is bad" again!look we can all agree that sonic was great sometime!who agrees with me!
"Sonic is coming back for real this time"
This is why most Sonic Fans F.A.I.L
Where are the true fans at?
@TranceCore3
By amazing I was pitting them against other things that were out at that time, that people would think was better. Like you said, wasn't the that polygon stuff, it didn't need 3D stuff. Most of that is to compensate for a crappy game. Sonic didn't need that.
I wish sega didn't ruin the sonic series :(
they should keep making them like the sonic adventure games :o
It's glitch ing
Good music.
WOw the song is GREEEEEATAS
Yeah, you're listening to it right? ofcourse it's real life. I think you mean "Did they use synthesizers, or real instruments?"
thanks.
IT SURE IS BUTTHURT AROUND HERE
I just said that if this were to be released as a downloadable title it would probably be released on the Wii first then make its way to XBLA and PSN
