[@sonicovertime]

I talked to the developers of the project alot to get their advice on the stages that changed the most since last build. I even got some custom files not found on the gamebanana page, like moving Blimps in Radical Highway and Escalators in Eternal Engine!!

[@zanygamerx]

What stands out the most to me, is the fact that their quills actually blow in the wind properly. Sonic and shadows movements also have more character. Like how shadow looks like hes actually pushing himself, instead of the typical effortless movement on a treadmill.

[@kenonerboy]

Theyre airshoes. They shouldnt push

Metal Harbor in this "Modern" game made it feel like a playground rather than straight out linear stage. Really impressive!

[@frostnova2144]

They actually made it look like it made more sense too, the structures at the start actually being built on a form of land instead of randomly in the water

[@thedualitysystem]

And the original level is still there too. They just add more alternate paths like the 2D games.

[@superrelic64]

I just like seeing the blimps in Radical Highway say "Maria?"

[@kenrichgumanid9235]

I've seen "I'm here Shadow"

[@Aeivious]

giving shadow the bounce braclet is probably my favorite change here. such a good tool for speed and it just makes sonic stages 1000* better.

[@Selxis]

Holy moly the character models are hands down literal perfection. And the voices -- are they fanmade or something? Sounds a lot like the original cast. If the levels, cutscenes and effects were touched up visually too I'd seriously pay for this.

[@Flycanjack]

Honestly with a little more time to cook this has a lot of potential! I love little details like Shadow's gloves and shoes glowing, how ramming into a wall makes you 2D, or Shadows movement animations. I feel like the board animations are a bit stiff and the shadows could be a bit more dynamic (not asking for over the top lighting but a lot of well lit areas look a little flat or plastic-ey), and the menu could deal with a bit of stylization as they also look a bit too smooth. But for a fan version of this game it looks phenomenal so far and honestly if they keep improving it and whatnot, we could have something awesome on our hands This is def getting a DL from me

[@suroguner]

oh this is just a preview. It's no where near done cooking.

[@Soapy699]

I'm pretty sure the animation when you bump into walls was in the og game and sonic adventure too.

[@rcmero]

I thought this would be just a modern looking texture pack, but even the maps have had subtle changes. This really does look like a remastered version of Sonic Adventure 2 if it was released in the year 2023.

[@ALegendaryBlueHedge]

I really appreciate the change in time of day, this mod is pretty well made

[@aortaplatinum]

This is so much goddamn fun, the increased acceleration and speed of Sonic and Shadow takes a bit of getting used to but it's so satisfying. The additional areas and segments are super cool and always a fun surprise when you find one, reminds me of how Mania would remix old zones with some of the original stage design but they'd throw in a new area you'd never seen before. The altered textures in Radical Highway adding text to highlight Shadow's internal struggle is insanely cool as well, I love to see psychological elements like that. Entering MSA2 into the actual contest side of the Sonic Hacking Contest once it's finished would hardly be fair lol, it would be a shoo-in for the 3D category like how Hellfire Saga is for the Retro category.

[@Demonking9900]

Always wanted to get into voice acting... and this has been a favorite game of mine since i was 7!

Honestly, Shadow's voice has never been as good as when David Humphrey voiced him, IMO. Everyone afterwards is trying too hard to be 'cool and dark' while Brian just had this nice relaxed energy about how he did it. It wasn't edgy, it was confident.

A lot of people have mentioned some of the voice acting feeling off but the only thing I'm disappointed about is that i haven't seen gameplay for the treasure hunting stages. Modders probably just havent gotten to them yet but they were some of my favorite stages in this game. Granted i do think some characters twnd to look kind of weird to me with modern graphics, knuckles and rouge tend to be particularly noticable to me, but sonic is also on that list and he looks fine in this mod

[@protosaber363]

This is exactly what the game needed, as someone who just replayed through. New Engine, better controls.

[@ilovethelegend]

So, for city escape, I noticed that you increased Sonic's speed, but didn't change the level design to compensate. The specific instance I noticed was the second downhill section; the way that section is supposed to go is you get the trick off the ramp, hit the speedboosters into the next ramp at the 90 degree turn, get the trick off that which gives you the electric shield, hit the speedbooster and get the trick off the next ramp, which throws you through a loop of rings and launches you directly into the bounce pad to get you up the wall in the next section, which gets you a nice sum of rings and saves you a bit of slow platforming and dealing with some enemies if you miss it. In your version, hitting the second trick ramp instead _overshoots you past the third one,_ which forces you to contend with the enemies hitting the tricks was supposed to jump you past, and then Sonic... runs up the wall to get up there quickly? Okay, can Sonic run up EVERY wall, or just that one? Is that a powerup he gets, maybe replacing the magic gloves? How is the player supposed to intuit that that's an option? Shit, have you ALWAYS been able to run up that wall? I literally never tried running face-first into a sheer wall since, ya know. Also, I'm not sure if "Faster" is the direction I would have taken the mech stages. Like, on Mission street, the whole point of the first collapsing road section is to force you to divert and pick up the booster powerup; then on subsequent playthroughs, if your timing is good, you can use the booster to take the faster upper route. But if you're fast enough to just _make it across there,_ before the road collapses, then it's possible that you never get the booster powerup and get stuck later in the level (Or later in another level). Other than that, this still needs some polish, but looks pretty cool.

[@ilovethelegend]

*Comes back after testing it* You HAVE always been able to run up that wall! What the shit?

[@RicoLee27]

[@Sigmund_Froid]

Kinda dislike the changed Music in some stages, like Iron Gate and Lost Colony. The music was perfectly fine as is, so changing it just feels weird. The Textures and Level Models seem barely changed compared to the Original, and really stand out with how they lack depth. Normal mapping might already do wonders for that, but really, it won't fix the low Polygon count either. The Voices are whatever, but the sound mixing is just as noisy a mess as in Unleashed AND SA2 combined. The 1 UP sound is somehow more disruptive, and using the Sonic Generations Invincibility Jingle kinda clashes with the mood, especially of Shadow's stages. I do like how this Opens up the levels, adding more paths to them. Overall, this is definitely not there yet, needs a lot more polish before I would consider it "Game Changing"

[@FaviMarzo]

That Sonic model is gorgeous oml.
