Sega seriously needs to hire these guys.
 
It's very good, the animated background, colours look beautiful. Congrats to the team. Btw, will this be a browser game? Because i know Unity is a web application engine.
 
I'm pretty damn impressed. These guys did an awesome job and really brings back good memories :)

Other than that it's a Sonic 2 remake, not really. The guy who uploaded it on YT seems to be relatively known in the fan community though. I hope it sees a public release but they will likely need approval from Sega.
 
already talked about this with some people but, IMO this really isn't that great.
It's over detailed
De-saturated colors? wth
Sub-par Music ( I could easily make better Emerald hill zone music just by Midi-Ripping off the internet)
Sound Effect of sonic grinding to a halt is too loud
The only thing remotely better than Sonic 4 is the fact they got the running animation right. And that's about it.
 
Most of those are minor faults (IMO) considering only a small team of devs made this. The color saturation can easily be fixed and may not even be intentional, their monitor calibration could be off. I suppose the floating Eggman mech in the background is a bit over-the-top, but aside from that, I'm content with the visuals.

I agree on the music and sound effects, some of them are pretty horrid.

Literally couldn't disagree more with you... But then again, that's not new, right? :D
 
I really like the egg man in the background, I think that was my favourite thing about it. Love games where you can see shit going on in the background.
 
Same here, the Egg Man Mech is an awesome idea, It'd be cool if it were a persistent thing throughout the game, so when you fight it at the end it's more epic.

That, and those colours are not desaturated, there is just a bit of blue over everything which is probably just the environmental effect turned up too high.

And personally I like the over worked environment, in a situation like this it shows how much the designers cared about what they were doing that they overwrought EVERYTHING.

jesus, get off your high horse and go make it then if you can do it so much better, do u have any idea how difficult and long this must have taken for them to make?, seriously, i hate when non-devs bash games for minor faults, it's amazing that a small group of devs could put something like this together

edit: after re-reading this, it comes off a bit harsh, i didn't mean it to sound so harsh, but i still stand by that you shouldn't be complaining about a fan built game of this caliber, there is far worse that's been made/attempted, and if you can create better music/sound effects, then why don't you contact the dev's and provide them with audio assistance?
 
It's really great and pretty dam awesome, I'd only want the stopping skreech changed as well as change a few of the instruments in the soundtrack. The bass and the drums are perfect...the first trumpety/synthy bit not so much...second trumpet bit is good....the guitar bit is horrid. There was an issue with too many sounds at the same time but I'm sure that can be easily fixed.

There's nothing wrong with the visuals at all from what I see. I love the addition of Robotnik's giant robot in the background...not liking the title screen or the goal sign though.

Would like to see this reach completion. Makes me want to play through Sonic 2 again. Suppose I've a bunch of achievements to get on the XBLA version anyways :P


EDIT: Interesting...here's some footage of how it looked only 6 months ago

Same youtube user, same game.

That's a hell of a lot of progress when factoring in real life and whatnot.

Over detailed? Its a conceptual interpretation - For you to say it has too much detail holds the same weight as the ones who made it saying it doesnt have enough
Youre looking for perfect color balance in a 32-bit environment?
Music and effects are pretty shoddy, but that would very well be the exports failing but youre looking too far into this. Look at it as a whole and you might see it more impressive than anything else
 
He's also comparing a fan made game to a professionally done one. This is leaps and bounds over most other fan made games, especially the level of detail and polish.

Stop acting like a elitist prick. It makes you look bad and you rarely say anything productive.

/end rant

This game looks awesome, and considering it's a fan-made, no budget project... It's even more awesome! I'd like to see the special stages made by these guys.

I agree with Chat and I second that Dr. Robotnik Death Egg in the background looks awesome. Everything is so well detailed and well done it actually makes me want to start a petition to SEGA so they would endorse and help release this on PSN/XBLA/WiiWare...
 
Trigun was only stating his opinion so calm down. He doesn't think the game is up to scratch and that's fine, he wasn't rude about it.
How was he being an "elitist prick"? It makes no sense. Also, for someone who moans all the time about getting picked on Kezra you're not exactly nice to other members. Wise up or just leave.
