Sonic 2 HD is Amazing! (HD Fan Remake)

[@BlueTelevisionGames]

Thanks to everyone that suggested this one! I loved it!!!

[@user-yf3cr5ev5p]

I wouldn't hold out too much hope for this project to be completed, sadly. Development has been off and on for many years. it's a great idea and looks fantastic! But it's a volunteer project and at one point the project died and they had to basically start over. Now if Sega would have thrown it's support behind it and done something like this for all the classic games instead of Sonic Origins, it would have been incredible! Can you imagine a HD version of all the classics in this visual style?

[@Khranok]

Can only pray but Sega is way too lazy and happy to take a quick buck for low effort on our nostalgia

[@nickfarace9339]

It was worse than died. It had a TON of drama involved. Basically power struggles over content. Which when it came to volunteer things was a death sentence. They were basically hand drawing all the assets and then putting them up for review. It was always going to be a painfully long process. I think this started like 10+ years ago, and even if they never stopped it might still not be done. I personally remember reviews of the attempts at the signpost Sonic when you beat a level. I think the original was intended to be kind of a slightly overhead angle view of sonic, and they couldn't nail that at high res. Clearly no one ever attempted to though and settled on just an original normal side view design. It looks good now, but doesn't match up 1:1 to the original. I just remember that conversation vividly.

Starting over isn't really accurate. All the art and stuff from before the project died was still retained as well as the music. Only thing that was redone was the programming. You are right that it's sort of off and on tho, but it is still being developed. Most of us are busy with things outside of the project so it's often hard to find time to work on it. That being said, there's quite a bit done since this last level that we'll hopefully be able to share soon. I don't know when the game will be completed, but even if slow one day it should be.

[@AlphaProto]

I love how the sprites look like the classic airbrushed box art. It's really amazing to look at.

[@fluttershystayshigh4202]

This was freakin awesome! its everything you'd expect an HD remake of this game to be, great job by the devs.

[@private_c]

That is quality! This person did a really good job on making Sonic 2 look brand new!

[@BlueTelevisionGames]

Agreed. Looks super modern, but captures the retro goodness too

[@thelickybostonlobstah8012]

I'm so glad you did this! I've been following this project for a long while. It looks beautiful, I hope they finish it!

[@BlueTelevisionGames]

Me too. I really love it.

its only a matter of time until Sonic XL gets ported to this game!

[@BlueTelevisionGames]

Now that would be amazing

[@MaverickTsuki]

To think many discovered Tee Lopes in the old version of this project. Who would thought he would be composing for an official Sonic game many years later.

[@slimeinabox]

If someone saw this even the original Sonic 2 came out, he would have a aneurism.

[@SammySesame]

I hope we get a new version of the game with new levels and stuff!

[@BlueTelevisionGames]

Agreed

[@hihosh1]

well, a couple of week's ago they were doing collision mapping for Oil Ocean in their live stream

[@VideoGameAnimationStudy]

I'm sad he didn't get to properly see the new top speed animation.

[@BlueTelevisionGames]

I did! But not in the video. When I made the thumbnail I ran through the first zone fast and saw it. Looks awesome

[@Another_youtube_animator]

Ikr whenever you got close you would start rolling 🥲

[@firionkaiser8291]

Could've sworn the original had that same lava issue 12:04 thought it was gonna crush me

Hey there Darby. I got wingstop today.

Yummy

[@keithmichael112]

you can tell this was a labor of love. very cool

[@SonicHedgehog1FingerWaging]

Im sure they are working on Aquatic Ruin Zone and you can also access Debug Mode!

[@flaxxei]

I remember watching some of my favorite KZbinrs playing this 4 years ago it's cool and the soundtracks are bangers

[@Ness_and_Sonic]

Looks like the removal of the kick defeat method made the Mega Mack more lethal in the Chemical Plant Zone Boss fight.

[@planetzach]

I just did a Hilltop themed Minecraft build for my channel, so seeing that particular zone reimagined in HD was really neat. I really liked the look of this demo. Hopefully they can add onto it in the future. Maybe someday I’ll actually beat Sonic 2. I always get stuck on Wing Fortress Zone if I even make it that far.

[@nathanielhermanson6987]

I love how the levels in Sonic 2 HD are in Sonic 2 Nick Arcade prototype instead of Hidden Palace!!!

[@mamaluigi429]

Fun fact: the people behind this hack were the art director of sonic mania.

[@ythit3chkn0w22]

I agree

For your information, the pink Robotnik in HillTop zone that rises out of the lava is called a Rexon

[@xShinigamiRyukuux]

I love how this emulates the look of the Mega Drive box arts.

[@Hammyboi35]

This would be cool if Sega remade these games but with these graphics

[@AliceJoy78]

This game is still in development, even though its very slow going but the next few zones are close to completion, including the special stages. I've played this and the first 3 zones are currently available.

[@wetburntbagel]

This video needs to be more popular

[@richardbrown2334]

Played this game tons, but for the first time, in Green Hill Zone, taking notice of the background in this fan made version.

[@BlueTelevisionGames]

It’s awesome

[@leam1978]

I appreciate how the artists faded the background a bit more. The intense color saturation of the original confused me a lot as a kid.

[@Yellow_Face_Inc]

This is how the 2D sections of current Sonic games should have been

[@BlueTelevisionGames]

Yah

[@thoyo]

This is too cool. So many creative details I missed in the original game are super clear here.

[@montywh]

8:55 Tails: i'm player 1 now

[@jacobac07]

wow that game was brilliantly remade, thanks for showing it to us!

[@BetaBf-c4o]

It looks an actual sonic game that’s canon

[@BlueTelevisionGames]

Agreed. This is so good

[@princess_ebony23]

This looks like something Sega would've made during the Xbox/PS3 era, looks nice.

[@LaundryLunatic]

Sega should give them their blessing and let them finish it and release it in the digital stores. At least give the people who worked on this a little kickback for working on Sega's IP.

[@deebznutz100]

Sonic fans: his running animation sucks Devs: puts sick running animation in the game. Sonic Fans: rolls everywhere.

[@nevimendoza7623]

For a fan game thislooks insane. Now all we need is some HD Sunky and we are full future proofed.

[@BlueTelevisionGames]

Oooh yah

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

So beautiful! Glad you finally played it!

[@MrSamPhoenix]

To me Sonic 2 was the best Sonic game of all time. One thing I’m not really understanding is how most custom remakes omit certain stages. I’m Sonic Mania & in this HD version they left out the stage after Chemical Plant (Aquatic Ruin Zone) 😢.

[@Dead_Channel_Pretty_Much]

Just Wait Untill We See Mods For This Version Of This Game...

i would love to see hidden palace in HD

OMG!its truly amazing! I love how they add extra animations and make the screen bigger it remind me of sonic the hedgehog 4 II and sonic mania at the same time

Of course a fan made this. It’s rare when a video game company actually makes something with a fraction of the care put into this.

Imagine If THIS is what Sonic Origins looked like. That would be amazing I stead of essentially the mobile ports and a few extra modes. This Full on HD Remake is So Beautiful all I ask is why does Sega not do things like this it shouldn't take too much effort from a big studio. I mean the music the Animations all of it looks and sounds Stunning.

[@lordzombie7493]

That's amazing! Do you think they'll other games?

[@terraofnakedafraid5828]

That was beautiful, hopefully they'll keep working on it. I'd love to see more.

I wish Sonic Origins had an HD version is this!

[@ermilburn02]

Now we need Sonic 1 HD and Sonic 3 & Knuckles HD

[@Aurun30]

Looks really good. My only complaint is that sonic has kinda a blank stare. The eyes should maybe blink

[@theryderchannel232]

This HD remake looks awesome.

[@BlueTelevisionGames]

Agreed

[@rommee]

Glossy as like the original BUT the far background is a little bit of a let down in terms of detail and glistening animation on the water in the background on Emerald Hill. The original nailed that.

[@wmatheson1611]

I've been waiting for another youtuber to play this masterpiece, seems like someone actually did. Edit: wish he could have seen the max speed animation (If any of ya'll don't know what that is, its a animation that triggers when sonic hits his max speed, so its a third speed animation.)

[@Goober206]

If we get an HD Sonic 2 XL my life will be complete

[@ItsDeebs]

Sonic's jump needs to be fixed. Sometimes he doesn't do a full jump. He gets pulled back to the ground half way through the jump. Was an issue in several of Hill Top Zones platform sections. There's a bunch of other bugs and glitches. Like being locked in animation when walking into small quarter pipe hills. All input will be disabled until Sonic fails to reach the top and back walks down to the beginning quarter pipe section.

[@longann7560]

only one problem, its been in development for 32 years, its never coming out. Enjoy the demo though.

[@blueblur2273]

It's a small complaint but I like the original intro better than the HD one. In the original he comes out cooler and the thumb's up looks better than the peace sign which looks awkward blowing in the wind like a flag. Overall Sonic looks more edgier in the original while the HD version appears too toned down. In the HD intro, Sonic's stance looks as if he's a dad taking a family picture. There's just a little too much humility in his stance, that screams "Welcome to our game, I hope you enjoy playing." There's more arrogance in the original intro where Sonic's stance comes off more laid back like a friend greeting you saying " You ready to come and play".
