Sonic The Hedgehog 2 HD is a gorgeous fan-made remake that adds crisp HD visuals and vastly improved audio to Sonic 2’s classic gameplay to create something Sonic fans have been wanting for years – pure, classic Sonic gameplay with modern video game production standards.
The 15th August sees one of the most anticipated gaming releases of the year in Sonic Mania. Unlike most of this year’s biggest games, though, the humble roots of Sonic Mania make for a surprising success story for a community of Sonic fans. This is the story of how a group of young, creative, fans came to live the dream of making a new Sonic game.
It's really touching that the best official Sonic game in years will be one developed by dedicated fans
For his second 16-bit adventure, Sonic joins a new friend: MIles "Tails" Prower, a fox with two tails. The two heroes have to run trought a huge number of fast levels full of rings, power-ups and loops.
Maybe the best Sonic title on Genesis/MegaDrive.
Apparently the devs have succeeded in bringing an HD version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 to the PC. But along with the remastered graphics we'll also get a Trojan? What's the deal??
Oh hell yes! Why can't Sega make something like this?
When people in their spare time can make better Sonic games then SEGA
<sigh>
Aural orgasm...that sound is incredible!!!
Looks really good! SEGA should tap Studio MDHR to make a side scrolling Sonic game. Sonic would look awesome with that Cuphead aesthetic.
As cool as this is, I really, really wish people would consider more strongly where they share fan projects like this. The more public the venue, the far more likely it is that the wrong parties will hear about it, and then here comes the Cease and Desist notice and another project never seeing the light of day.
Of course, in general, I wish people doing fan projects like this would hold back on announcing anything until the finished project was ready. Get it into the wild where it's too late if somebody wants to C&D because regardless, backups will forever exist on one server or another.
