Looking back at this video a year after, and the options/stage select music at the end still makes me teary eyed with nostalgia and gives me great chills... 😳
I'm aware of that but no one but the truly knowledgeable and dedicated is going to know that. It was a facetious comment. In general the youtube mouth pieces reported that this project was dead.
You know, SEGA could easily approach these guys and have them sell this. I'd buy it in a heartbeat - I'd be down for an HD remake with more/better Achievements than the XBLA port of the original. Maybe also including cut content?
Some things I feel needs to be fixed/added/suggested. I'm definitely aware everything is in a work in progress. **FIXES** - Camera doesn't follow vertically (visible during loops while running at highspeeds, especially in Chemical Plant Zone). - Every sound effect fades. - The Spin Dash sound effect should be the "charge" not "spin." And for releasing the spin dash, it should be "charge release." - Hill Top Zone's rising lava section: Vibration's too strong, for the controller and on screen (unpleasant to the eyes). - Hill Top Zone's rising lava section: During the end, a block appears and disappears. - Hill Top Zone Act 1: Ending section after spinning through tunnel should launch Sonic and/or Tails forward+up to collect most of all the rings. - Collsion Error when Sonic and/or Tails instantly gains speed and jumps (noticably in Chemical Plant Zone after spin dashing towards a speed booster). - (that's all for now). **ADDITIONALS & SUGGESTIONS** - Sonic and/or Tails runs so fast the camera can't catch up (similar in Taxman's Retro Engine, visible at highspeeds). - Tails Flying option (off by default). - Sonic's full speed animation be like Mania's (options like: Default, Original, CD and Mania). - Results Screen moves out a little too slow. - Sonic and/or Tails should be knocked back a bit more (they hit the ground too fast after getting hit). - (that's all for now).
Raymarko Jinzele Old Account YES! Especially the Spin Dash, it sounds very odd when you are “charging” it up and it doesn’t sound like it is even revving up. The same with the remake of Sonic 2 on iOS.
you guys are honestly amazing, Sonic 2 was the only retro Sonic game I could get far in as a young child and I loved it so much. Keep up the amazing work, the passion in the project is real omg
I always thought this project had been abandoned! But now, I'm really glad that the project came back! I am very anxious to be able to download the game! Congratulations to all members of S2HD! :D
+get fucc: I guess they're on the same schedule as Team Four Star with Dragon Ball Z Abridged. Still, both do great work. I hope I live to see the completion of both.
Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colours, Sonic Generations and Sonic Lost World( IMO I thought it was alright ) would like to have a word with you... Also he never left! Can people please stop saying he's back every time we get a new game.
KaijuPrince1968 well IMO the last good game before sonic mania was generations... so for me sonic is kinda back. I thought lost world was meh (not too bad, but nothing ground breaking) even though I liked the idea of it. I'm not saying that oh sonic is back and everything before it was shit, because honestly sonic had a good run from unleashed to boom...and well Sega kinda pushed boom way too hard. So there's my sonic ramblings... so I guess a better way to put it is... it seems like Sonics good streak is happening.
Sorry about that, I saw the "Sonic is back" and immediately assumed it to be the usual since I 've seen people say the same thing for almost every game after Unleashed
*_S2HD_* Legit question, how would you guys be able to make money from this? It's *ABUNDANTLY* clear there was a lot of time and effort towards making this so imagine you guys need to be compensated somehow. Isn't there a possibility that SEGA would shut this down? (Please give this a thumbs up so they can see this question)
they did shut it down. now it's back for some reason, keep in mind that the people who were working on this (before it was shutdown) worked on sonic mania
Sonic Mania isn't a fangame. Sega hired modders to make it... Also, Sega never shut down the first run of this game. There were internal arguments with the team that made it stop development.
ParadockMW Even if you don't make money off of a product, it can do some serious good for a developer's presence in the industry going forwards. By producing something of quality, they have established that they are a competent and desirable developer, which can lead to opportunities to do more work in the future. So in a sense, this is an investment in the S2HD Team's future in game development.
You'd think after Mania, the fans would be a little bit more respectful to Sega after Sega giving permission and allowing mania to be made in the first place.
1:22 I doubt it, but having that animation for when Sonic is going at camera-passing speed would be awesome. EDIT: WELP... mention it, and it shall happen. ;)
This is how Sega should proceed today. Have a branch for "modern" and this HD - 2D style for "classic". They don't seem to have any issue selling classic Sonic merchandise (most seems to be), and Mania was a HIT, although I'm sure they want to look forward thinking. This would be having cake and eating it too!
Just played the demo through twice!! It's amazing! It's come such a long way since the original alpha release (I still have that on my computer somewhere) I'm so looking forward to playing the rest of the game when it comes out! Here's to you guys, and the amazing work you've all done!!
Samuel that's a total myth. Sonic 3 and Knuckles wouldn't even be on the Steam store if that were the case. Tax even has a demo on his youtube page it's all ready to go. People on the internet just like to try and justify why clear decisions that would make bank have not been made when the simpler answer is Sega is very willfully blind to demand in the West. Hopefully Sonic mania was a thunderbolt up the arse in regards to it but they're so ridiculous with their franchises, they don't realize how dedicated their global fanbase is. And instead try to cater to niche japanese audiences.
I was thinking the project was closed after Sonic Mania but... I was wrong. It looks awesome, lot of years of hard work, thank's for all the team. REALLY GREAT F**** JOB !
*After Mania* Sonic 2 HD Workers: Well, Good Job To The People In Our Team Who Helped On Mania! But Now What? Another Sonic 2 HD Worker: Lets Get Right Back To Sonic 2 HD! Sonic 2 HD Worker: BEST IDEA EVER! EVERYBODY, LETS GET BACK TO WORK!
Man I played the first demo and now second demo and wow I was just smilling through the whole playthrough. Wow if this makes it to a full realease I'd be so happy! Keep up the amazing work guys!
Remakes can ADD content you know. Yeah, the drop dash wasn't in the originals but guess what... Sonic 1's remake on smart phones included; the spindash, Tails and Knuckles as playable characters and the ability to save your game. Could you do that in Sonic 1? Didn't think so, adarius.
adarius99 spindash wasn't in sonic 1 but they still put it in later ports. Doesn't make much sense to get butthurt over a fun feature you don't even need to use
WOW ! I just played through the demo and i'm still blown away ! This is a labor of love and it shows ! The graphic designs is perfect for a sonic games. Nicely done people keep up the good work! Hope we'll have a full playable version soon ! This is truly setting the bar, has how a remastered 2d sidescroller should be handled !
This is what Sonic Origins team SHOULD BE DOING. Thanks again for your work guys, this is absolutely incredible & what sega should be doing themselves... Or paying you to do!
While I’d love to see them do something like this, origins is there to introduce newer generations to the (mostly) original classics so I’d have them be different games or an unlockable option personally
People seem to be worried that the game might get shut down or something. Look guys, SEGA aren't Nintendo. They don't shut down fangames just because they're good. Hell, they actually embrace them. Same goes for the game's first shutdown, it was because the team were a mess, not because SEGA stopped them.
Actually Sega does do that, look up the streets of rage remake. But for some reason Sonic fan games are allowed a free pass when it comes to development, it's one of the greater mysteries of the internet, but one we don't question. So I am not worried about this particular one. I think someone with rights to Sonic has alot of clout somewhere and insists the fans be allowed to do what they want. And it works, because sonic is still relevant to this day...
I Hope It Includes Knuckles Mighty Ray Wood Zone Genocide City Hidden Palace Dust Hill Insta shield Super Peel Out Drop Dash Bubble shield Fire shield Electric shield Co-op Mode Time Attack 4 Player Versus No Save Mode With And Knuckles Mode, Debug Mode and Level Select 8 Save Files Sonic's Idle Animation From Sonic 1, Sonic 3, Sonic 3d blast and Sonic Mania Sonic's new idle animation where he fall asleep Tails new idle animation where he falls asleep Knuckles Idle Animation From Sonic Mania Level Transitions Main Menu
You guys should have a Q&A about the project such as plans for future builds like cut content from the original game or just questions about how things are going. Here's a question I have: Will Knuckles be playable in a future build? People cracked the beta build and found a few things such as a working unfinished metropolis zone in the build and the possibility of Knuckles. I doubt anyone will see this.
This HD remake of Sonic 2 looks awesome! You guys have really put a lot of work into this. The character sprites have a lot more detail, the animations are so smooth, love the music, and the background looks very alive. Seeing the Chemical Plant for the first time in Sonic 2 HD style got me extremely excited for this fan game(since Chemical Plant is my favorite Sonic 2 zone)! I'm really looking forward to this! Whoa, I almost forgot to subscribe. * Subscribes * That's better.
Holy wow, I've never even played the original Sonic games (blasphemy, I know) and I'm excited! Edit: After playing the demo, I'm gonna need to play the original games, and eventually get Sonic Mania.
Holy shit, Sonic 2 HD is still a thing. I heard about the hurdles the dev team had to go through, and I was really disappointed that I didn't get to try it for myself. I'll definitely be checking this out later.
Anyone else hoping SEGA will bring these guys on board alongside Christian Whitehead, Headcannon and Pagoda West to work on a successor to Mania with visuals on par with this?
Lookin good!

yup
Working in secret, in the dead of night. They toiled away.

nah they had a blog
I'm aware of that but no one but the truly knowledgeable and dedicated is going to know that. It was a facetious comment. In general the youtube mouth pieces reported that this project was dead.
The project already resumed development back in 2014, just two years after it was cancelled.
Seriously? Even after Sonic Mania came out?
Serious dedication there, fellas. Bravo.
Some of the same people who worked on Sonic Mania work on this.

Deus Ex you forgot "/s"
You know, SEGA could easily approach these guys and have them sell this. I'd buy it in a heartbeat - I'd be down for an HD remake with more/better Achievements than the XBLA port of the original. Maybe also including cut content?
Some things I feel needs to be fixed/added/suggested. I'm definitely aware everything is in a work in progress.
**FIXES**
- Camera doesn't follow vertically (visible during loops while running at highspeeds, especially in Chemical Plant Zone).
- Every sound effect fades.
- The Spin Dash sound effect should be the "charge" not "spin." And for releasing the spin dash, it should be "charge release."
- Hill Top Zone's rising lava section: Vibration's too strong, for the controller and on screen (unpleasant to the eyes).
- Hill Top Zone's rising lava section: During the end, a block appears and disappears.
- Hill Top Zone Act 1: Ending section after spinning through tunnel should launch Sonic and/or Tails forward+up to collect most of all the rings.
- Collsion Error when Sonic and/or Tails instantly gains speed and jumps (noticably in Chemical Plant Zone after spin dashing towards a speed booster).
- (that's all for now).
**ADDITIONALS & SUGGESTIONS**
- Sonic and/or Tails runs so fast the camera can't catch up (similar in Taxman's Retro Engine, visible at highspeeds).
- Tails Flying option (off by default).
- Sonic's full speed animation be like Mania's (options like: Default, Original, CD and Mania).
- Results Screen moves out a little too slow.
- Sonic and/or Tails should be knocked back a bit more (they hit the ground too fast after getting hit).
- (that's all for now).
I would appreciate a CD camera mode that adds more forward screen-space in front of Sonic while running.
Raymarko Jinzele Old Account YES! Especially the Spin Dash, it sounds very odd when you are “charging” it up and it doesn’t sound like it is even revving up. The same with the remake of Sonic 2 on iOS.

+Rationalific If it's any constellation they're at the final bits of the cell saga so only the buu saga left and they're done.
3 years to go and this will really happen
Nintendo can learn a lot from SEGA by allowing fans to make and keep projects.
Nintendo never needed it,they have a deal with Satan that makes impossible they make a game that dissapoint someone.
Yet SEGA have done it themselves. Don't pretend Nintendo are the only one's.
+Jamie Williamson Not to the extent of Nintendo though.
+Vithor Silva Correa I'm fairly certain I didn't just imagine Paper Mario: Sticker Star, and Metroid Prime: Federation Force.
Cool federation force was decent but other m was really bad

Omg this is soo freaking professional. I'm stunned.

Ohno
Demo 1.0 had knuckles in it. Then the engine developer quit and took his code with him.
This isn't the Christian Whitehead remake.
You guys should have a Q&A about the project such as plans for future builds like cut content from the original game or just questions about how things are going. Here's a question I have: Will Knuckles be playable in a future build? People cracked the beta build and found a few things such as a working unfinished metropolis zone in the build and the possibility of Knuckles. I doubt anyone will see this.
takeshi stole s2hd's moto and changed it
s2hd: its made by the fans for the fans
sonic mania: its made by the mania for the mania
cyclonus444 finally somebody realized that the phrase was made before mania

This HD remake of Sonic 2 looks awesome! You guys have really put a lot of work into this. The character sprites have a lot more detail, the animations are so smooth, love the music, and the background looks very alive. Seeing the Chemical Plant for the first time in Sonic 2 HD style got me extremely excited for this fan game(since Chemical Plant is my favorite Sonic 2 zone)! I'm really looking forward to this! Whoa, I almost forgot to subscribe. * Subscribes * That's better.
Voltage Animations im really sad that you write all of that but youve got barly anything, so heres a replie and a like
The definitive way of playing sonic 2!
R.I.P Sonic 2 HD :((((((((((
😢
Can you add the lost zones like Hidden Palace?
If it's for the fans, then why not add what the fans begged for!
You mean Genocide City.
If only they had those zones those are my favorites hidden palace my fav
Cyber city and genocide city are two different names
Taco I know I would love to see those zones in this fan game
We can only hope...
Please
0:34 Sonic really said: “Back to run!”
Holy wow, I've never even played the original Sonic games (blasphemy, I know) and I'm excited!
Edit: After playing the demo, I'm gonna need to play the original games, and eventually get Sonic Mania.
C-Dawg No you buy Mania first. If not, Sonic 3 and then Mania.
WOWIE ITS BACK!!!
PS:i hope you can play with a controller too.
I played it and an usb controller is compatible =^
Holy shit, Sonic 2 HD is still a thing. I heard about the hurdles the dev team had to go through, and I was really disappointed that I didn't get to try it for myself. I'll definitely be checking this out later.
I really wish this was an official sonic game this looks sooooooo damn good
actually looks better then sonic mania ._.
Sonic Mania was made to look low-res, though
Believe it or not, i can affirm that they're still working on it.
How?
@@Duckyy. Hope.
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!! 😱
Anyone else hoping SEGA will bring these guys on board alongside Christian Whitehead, Headcannon and Pagoda West to work on a successor to Mania with visuals on par with this?
I thought a different group had taken over development at some point in the past.
chimerschang soneone is making a port of mania for android
I thought you stopped this project but OMG you are still going. Keep this going and good luck! Sonic 2 is my favorite game
Yeeaaah!
