The Sonic 2 HD team have extensive dev blogs on social media where they document the amount of effort that goes into each sprite and animation. It's well worth looking into.
That Chemical Zone music is thumping. What a fantastic looking game. I thought the development on this ceased but I'm glad it's come back. It was many years since I've seen any news of this game but admittedly I stopped paying much attention.
This is what Sega should’ve done with the Sonic Origins compilation. Instead they put minimum effort and expect people to fork over cash. I looks so good that it’s hard to believe it’s a fan project. Truly outstanding work. ❤🔥
I did actually really like Sonic Origins, mainly because of the hundreds and hundreds of brand new levels they made and put into it which means it isn't just playing the same old games over again but I widescreen, cos I could do that already with emulators and so on. No, they actually did make hundreds of new levels with the same assets for it. But yeah, they could have had these kind of upscaled remakes of the games available as an option too, and they wouldn't have to spend a lot of time and money trying to find the right people to do it, instead just get the people who make these kinds of romhacks and remakes for free as fans, and pay them to make official ones, i.e. exactly what they did for Sonic Mania which was just to get the best romhackers to make the new Sonic game. The most important thing though was the games preservation. Flashy upscaled HD remakes of these games should _NEVER_ be _REPLACEMENTS_ for the original games. No, they should be alternate _OPTIONS_ you can choose to play. The original games must be preserved for the sake of history, too. Because video games are an art form, and so preserving the history of the art form is just as important as, for example, preserving and restoring centuries old paintings is. So yeah at least Sonic Origins exists in terms of games preservation i.e. art preservation. But they could have easily had each game remade in HD like with this fan remake of Sonic 2, and allowed you to switch back and forth from original graphics to new graphics on the fly, JUST like they did for other classic Sega game remakes that they released, like Wonderboy in Monster World, and Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX. If they could do it for those games, then why not also for the Sonic games? Probably because they're lazy and they knew people would buy the collection anyway. But yeah at least they had the hundreds of new levels added for each game. That must have taken a good deal of time to make, even though the levels are all quite short.

For someone who was born in 1983 ... and gre up playing sonic .. this is impressive .. not much things nowadays impress me but this did by far. It's so sharp the image .. my gosh ..
Why would sonic origins would look like this? It's just a collection, and the games in it are ports of the original games with some new stuff, there's no logical reason on why the games should have get completely new graphics

Plus, it's an collection of old games with some upgrades and extras, its objective is not having complete remaster of the games with new visuals and stuff like that, just like every other Sonic collection.
This is perfect and beautiful and for just a few minutes brought me back to the snowy Christmas of my youth when I received Sonic 2 in my stocking and learned to share my Sega with my little sister. We got along and were kind to each other for an entire hour...before she got tired of being Tails. I told her to go play with her Barbie and get off my back, it was a great day.
@@Tien1million thats how whitehead got a job with SEGA. he made a sonic 1 version with widescreen support and sega hired him instead of giving him a C&D order .. then eventually they released that version for mobile phones
@@Tien1million Sega are actually more open unlike others like Nintendo that Sega would probably offer the team jobs to work on this for more platforms, maybe even to work on doing the other Sonic games.
Yeah, a little sad that there wasn't anything for the Special Stages, but I know that's done in a completely different perspective compared to the rest of the game's 2D zone formats.
Love the way the camera can't keep up with Sonic's movements at times. It helps give a better sense of that classic Sonic speed! Fantastic work (hope you all get hired by Sega too).
Wow, seriously impressive. Can't say I've ever seen anything quite like this before; it's how the game looked to my young mind in '92, but somehow beyond that even. The detail is so high it's almost lost while Sonic and Tails are in motion, but that is not a gripe at all! Imagine remaking other 16-bit side scrollers in the same manner.
Exactly! You're pulling the words out of my mouth. This is the way to remastering/remaking 8/16-bit games (also like they did with Wonderboy, Streets of Rage 4, Alex Kidd).
I'm not usually into fan games, but as far Fan builds go, this one actually seems to properly complement the source material, instead of over saturating it with ideas that wouldn't make sense.
As far as I can see it's a pretty faithful remake of the original with a few slight touches like the end of level animations and a slight reworking of the level music.
BTW they are still polishing up Aquatic ruin zone and have started on Oil ocean zone already so the dev team is still going so next update I'd say will be in about 5 - 6 months?
If this were to be officially released on all platforms, I would get back into gaming... this is absolutely everything I've been waiting to see for the best Sonic game I've ever played. Well done, attention to detail is incredible and the remake of the music makes me wana jam with it in full blast with a surround sound home theatre system. Fantastic work👏 And just one last thing on the music, love that each sub-stage has a different version of the of the same basic version.
You should play the 2 Forbidden Planet games. The first one began as a Sonic romhack but they turned it into a new unique game that just plays a lot like sonic. And the 2 one is an even better sequel to that. They have really gorgeous modern HD art/graphics just like this HD remake of Sonic 2 has. They are absolutely wonderful fantastic games, made by some of the best Sonic romhackers out there. You should also play the Spark the Electric Jester games. Those began in the same way, as Sonic romhack games, that were eventually turned into a new unique modern game series that is wonderful to play and gorgeous to look at. The first one is 2D but the sequels are 3D and emulate what early 3D sonic felt like instead (like the sonic adventure games, except they're better than those 2 games were).
I think from a long term sonic fan this is all we would want a HD facelift for the first 4 games and the SMS games with a HD facelift. I love the originals but a HD remaster would be great. As we know SEGA love to do the complete opposite of what fans want and exactly the opposite what pops reviews and makes money. SEGA love to say let’s do the opposite and 9 times out of 10 fall flat on their face.
There are so many games from the 8-bit and 16-bit era that I would love to see a remaster like this, a solid remaster, keeping to the core of what made the original great. This Sonic 2 remaster actually looks like one of the best I've seen, something for others to learn from.
The fact that this play through is played like they don't know every pitfall is amazing😂. This soundtrack is amazing also. Great job all the way around.
This is so satisfying on so many levels! Not only does it look amazing... The sound track is dope AS! Great job to all involved! I only wish people like you would get the support you deserve to be able to design and release games that we would all love! I think a Sonic sequel that looked and played like this would be incredible with a few new mechanics and characters. Such a shame huge companies are churning out "other" stuff. Well done!
I had no idea this existed - looks awesome! First Sonic Triple Trouble 16 bit, now this!... damn, the Sonic fan community is full of talented developers. 🔥🔥🔥
This is some top-notch stuff. Tails's victory animation and the Hill Top Zone 1 music stood out to me in particular as a nice touch and a superior cover, respectively.
Would love it if Sega put even HALF the effort and love in their games as this. True it didn't get finished, but you can see how much effort was put in upscaling and polishing what is there.
@@_Galaxy_457 Your acting like this is going to make up for the Decade of bad Sonic games. You're wrong. Frontiers may be good, yes, but who's to say they will keep that up. Sega have a bad track record and a bad habit of letting fans down. Sega and Sonic team have a lot of making up to do. I hope they do come through, bit not getting my hopes up from one good game right now.
this was gorgeous! fav was hilltop zone. i was loving the way the lava looked.and the intro was just magic.its amazing seeing one of my fav childhood games remastered like this. your a genius.
This looks phenomenal! Why cant GAME DEVS do stuff like this? Oh yeah, because they are fkng clueless! Or maybe its the guys above the devs? Who knows, who cares? Pretty sad we have to rely on the community for quality vs multi billion dollar companies. I've seen a lot of "hd remasters" of old games both professional and community based. The game STILL LOOKS like the actual, ORIGINAL game... just better. No assets were altered to look COMPLETELY different, with COMPLETELY DIFFERENT colors. It actually LOOKS THE SAME but BETTER. I can barely fking believe my eyes.
@ChuckStegall777not every game immediately goes off sale and everyone stops buying it the year after it’s released. A lot of people didn’t get these games until quite a bit after they were first released.
@ChuckStegall777 that’s what I meant, I’m saying not everyone gets games the year they were released, that links to what I was saying. What I said was that he could’ve got it in ‘93, he didn’t have to get it in ‘92, in fact, I find your comprehension pretty disturbing.
everything being animated at 60 fps looks really good! however I don't know if it's just me but I feel like the slower fps and fewer frames in the original made it feel a little faster
Been a while since I've seen an update on this project. Always amazes me that the fans do a better job with Sonic than Sega and the Sonic Team does. How hard would it have been for Sega to get with the developers of this and give them the funding to do Sonic Origins fulltime? I would have gladly paid $60 for Sonic Origins to look like this.
@HeHeLife Issue is mania is basically sonic CD. No innovation, it looks too old, the sound quality of the soundtrack is good, though in mania there are multiple paths and it is in widescreen.
Came here for the comments! First things first, this is what the Sonic Anniversary Collection should've been and looked like. Second, where can I get a finished copy of this masterpiece?
Hey, as long as the physics are the same! It looks great though, and the music is fantastic. I especially like that the tracks are slightly different in each act of each zone, much like Sonic Mania.
I feel like this game is what happens if you drop a 4K TV on the sonic 2 game cartridge 😂 kidding aside - this is phenomenal and I'd absolutely play (and pay for) this. Sometimes remakes lose that special something that made us fall in love with the original in the first place, but this one didn't do that at all 👍 well done!
Sega needs to hire these guys this version is a blessing in every way. I would gladly pay $50 for a remastered hd version. Mania did come close but not cool like this. The act 2 remixes was a nice touch like sonic 3
Why does the motion look so slow sonic used to run so fast the screen couldn't keep up. It's like the difference between Chung like and dhalsim on street fighters
To me, it's always mind blowing how fans and indie developers always blow the doors off of any kind of AAA devs efforts as far as remakes and remasters. Guess those big companies don't have the same kinda love for these games as the fans do
Omg this is amazing! Love all the incredible new details sprinkled throughout and how much thoughtfulness seems to have gone into every upscaling decision! My jaw is on the floor/thank you for this!!
Sega should absolutely pour bucket loads of money into this and let these guys rework all the classic Sonic titles. This is done in the best possible way I can imagine, pure masterpiece!
It was a small, but the one change I noticed was the day/night cycle between green hill and through chemical plant. Very nice touch. Started to make me think about an additional challenge of weather hazards in the game: sun melting things making it sticky, thunderstorms making it hard to stop and making it lethal to be in water during strikes, wind making sonic either slow down or speed up depending on direction, ice making sonic look for places to warm up like hot springs to go normal speed and blocking water paths. Not on the main game of course. Like a challenge mode for veteran players. Weather changes could make people take different paths to get away from certain weather.
This is what the remaster one that's just come out should look like. You guys seriously need to send this to them so it can be done. All fans can actually enjoy playing it this way. This on the newer gen consoles would be great
Without a doubt, this is the best fan Sonic game ever! I know it's basically remaster, but attention to details in this is spectacular! Sonic HD and Sonic 3 HD look good too, but this is another level. Animations, motion, sharpness, this is professional work
This is what Sonic 4 SHOULD have been like. The attention to detail is phenomenal! Incredible.
Please don't bring back those memories and wasted cash... 💀💰
Sonic Mania is the true Sonic 4
I never played Sonic 4. Wasn't it like this? Then I'm glad I didn't waste my time.
Sonic 4 is one of those games where they came up with the price before even starting the project, then just did the bare minimum.
Totally agree!!
This is how sonic 2 looked like to me as a kid in the early 90s 😂
So very true for me as well, the music still sounds crispy clean in my mind too, a masterpiece

Would love it if Sega put even HALF the effort and love in their games as this. True it didn't get finished, but you can see how much effort was put in upscaling and polishing what is there.
Frontiers exists
@@_Galaxy_457 We'll see if they have redeemed themselves when it comes out.
@@RedTygon It doesn't mean anything, lmao, you just need to see what they did to disprove your comment
@@_Galaxy_457 Your acting like this is going to make up for the Decade of bad Sonic games. You're wrong. Frontiers may be good, yes, but who's to say they will keep that up. Sega have a bad track record and a bad habit of letting fans down. Sega and Sonic team have a lot of making up to do. I hope they do come through, bit not getting my hopes up from one good game right now.
this was gorgeous! fav was hilltop zone. i was loving the way the lava looked.and the intro was just magic.its amazing seeing one of my fav childhood games remastered like this. your a genius.
This is what the latest collection should look like. Amazing stuff!!
This looks phenomenal! Why cant GAME DEVS do stuff like this? Oh yeah, because they are fkng clueless! Or maybe its the guys above the devs? Who knows, who cares? Pretty sad we have to rely on the community for quality vs multi billion dollar companies.
I've seen a lot of "hd remasters" of old games both professional and community based.
The game STILL LOOKS like the actual, ORIGINAL game... just better. No assets were altered to look COMPLETELY different, with COMPLETELY DIFFERENT colors.
It actually LOOKS THE SAME but BETTER. I can barely fking believe my eyes.
Man this takes me back to 93!!! Gosh, y’all are awesome
@ChuckStegall777not every game immediately goes off sale and everyone stops buying it the year after it’s released. A lot of people didn’t get these games until quite a bit after they were first released.
@ChuckStegall777 that’s what I meant, I’m saying not everyone gets games the year they were released, that links to what I was saying. What I said was that he could’ve got it in ‘93, he didn’t have to get it in ‘92, in fact, I find your comprehension pretty disturbing.
everything being animated at 60 fps looks really good! however I don't know if it's just me but I feel like the slower fps and fewer frames in the original made it feel a little faster
Been a while since I've seen an update on this project. Always amazes me that the fans do a better job with Sonic than Sega and the Sonic Team does. How hard would it have been for Sega to get with the developers of this and give them the funding to do Sonic Origins fulltime? I would have gladly paid $60 for Sonic Origins to look like this.
@HeHeLife Issue is mania is basically sonic CD.
No innovation, it looks too old, the sound quality of the soundtrack is good, though in mania there are multiple paths and it is in widescreen.
WAO, I'd like to play this game entirely just to see all the love you guys put into this project.
Play Sonic Mania.
@@Nickbaldeagle02 sonic mania to me is not like this. I prefer the original game play I'd just love to play with this more upgraded version
Never realized the Genesis had this much potential! I still own mine I'll have to hook mine back up to play it. Loved Sonic 2 as a kid
This is not for Genesis
might as well get sonic mania on the switch if you got a switch
@@SwuadeTV sounds 👍. I still play the OG Sonic Games on the Sega Genesis especially Sonic 3 & Knuckles that's a great one!
@@mattmaverick703 yeah I wanted to as well was looking on ebay for a console but ended up going wit mega sg since it had hdmi and jus bought the carts
@@SwuadeTV not a bad choice 👍
I loved interlaced. Left so much to the imagination
This an amazing amount of worthwhile effort guys. You did an amazing job!
This looks so clean and beautiful! I'd pay money for it if it ever gets a final release, looks amazing!
very nice...my entire childhood... *tear drops*
Came here for the comments! First things first, this is what the Sonic Anniversary Collection should've been and looked like. Second, where can I get a finished copy of this masterpiece?
Get a look at the description 😉have fun! 😁
This is the most beautiful 2D game I've ever seen!
Not seen Sonic Mania? It's pretty much the same as this.
Wow, the music was captured and remade so well. Tthis play transported me back to 8 year old me. Amazing that you took the time to make this.
I really want those soundtracks as ringtones! 😍
This is absolutely incredible! You can tell the passion and time that went into this. Props!
WTF........My childhood in real mode. Congratulation Team
Hey, as long as the physics are the same! It looks great though, and the music is fantastic. I especially like that the tracks are slightly different in each act of each zone, much like Sonic Mania.
This is a absolutely perfect. Smooth, and retains the traditional style.
this needs a full release best sonic ever made more please
Wow, I downloaded the demo and it is AMAZING! Congratulations for the project!
Tears of hapiness when i see this piece of art.Relive the Sega 16- Bit Era.😉🚀
Man this is what I thought it looked like back in the days lmao
Nostalgic Filter 😁
I feel like this game is what happens if you drop a 4K TV on the sonic 2 game cartridge 😂 kidding aside - this is phenomenal and I'd absolutely play (and pay for) this. Sometimes remakes lose that special something that made us fall in love with the original in the first place, but this one didn't do that at all 👍 well done!
Sega needs to hire these guys this version is a blessing in every way. I would gladly pay $50 for a remastered hd version. Mania did come close but not cool like this. The act 2 remixes was a nice touch like sonic 3
there is a positive and a negative point
positive point: I like the gameplay
Negative point: not all areas are there and that disappoints me
This is so beautiful and the music is amazing too, I could watch this over and over 💙
This is what I wanted Sonic origin to look like
Why does the motion look so slow sonic used to run so fast the screen couldn't keep up. It's like the difference between Chung like and dhalsim on street fighters
To me, it's always mind blowing how fans and indie developers always blow the doors off of any kind of AAA devs efforts as far as remakes and remasters. Guess those big companies don't have the same kinda love for these games as the fans do
I am shocked to stumble across this! it is just amazing 😍 amazing work!!
This is how we experienced Sonic 2 in early 90s! :)
This is just beautiful. Gorgeous.
And totally loved the final credits.
Wow !!! Very impressive ! Congrats ! One day Sega/Sonic Team will understand that it is THAT we want !
Love that Chemical Plant Zone OST
Holy cow that intro. The animation; the music; bloody brilliant.
Now imagine how amazing the Special Stages would look with this kind of upgrade.
Sprite art always wins for this 90s kid, but still, this is mighty impressive. Very well done
Omg this is amazing! Love all the incredible new details sprinkled throughout and how much thoughtfulness seems to have gone into every upscaling decision! My jaw is on the floor/thank you for this!!
In
Sega should absolutely pour bucket loads of money into this and let these guys rework all the classic Sonic titles. This is done in the best possible way I can imagine, pure masterpiece!
just stumbled upon this! Crazy ridiculously good!
It was a small, but the one change I noticed was the day/night cycle between green hill and through chemical plant. Very nice touch.
Started to make me think about an additional challenge of weather hazards in the game: sun melting things making it sticky, thunderstorms making it hard to stop and making it lethal to be in water during strikes, wind making sonic either slow down or speed up depending on direction, ice making sonic look for places to warm up like hot springs to go normal speed and blocking water paths.
Not on the main game of course. Like a challenge mode for veteran players. Weather changes could make people take different paths to get away from certain weather.
Sega are losing some good amount of money by not creating official early Sonic remakes. You can do insane things in 2D realm nowadays
this is awesome.. how i always pictured a good remake of old games.. i always wanted like a super mario 3. .. or super mario world HD like this
Uma obra de arte belíssimo.
obra prima
This is what the remaster one that's just come out should look like. You guys seriously need to send this to them so it can be done. All fans can actually enjoy playing it this way. This on the newer gen consoles would be great
Why doesn’t sega just hire this group? Seriously
They did. Its the sonic mania team.
Gotta confess. I like Tails's act complete animation
Que coisa mais linda! Trouxe para a atualidade a mesma sensação de beleza que tínhamos ao ver Sonic nos anos 90. Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho!
Waited for the Emerald Hill theme to hit. Was not disappointed 🎧😍
maravilloso!!, desde luego da gusto que hagan estas cosas!
Without a doubt, this is the best fan Sonic game ever! I know it's basically remaster, but attention to details in this is spectacular! Sonic HD and Sonic 3 HD look good too, but this is another level. Animations, motion, sharpness, this is professional work
