@@lucianoocampo96 For real, though. I've only been to San Francisco once, but man, some of the inclines were practically vertical. How these people get around on foot is beyond me.
I love how good SA2 mods are nowadays. So many good ones. I had a hard time coming up with the thumbnail for this. Fun fact: This was the first video since I started UA-cam that I played with a controller without drift. lmao.. yes I'm cheap. Man does it fell good to have a new xbox360 controller though.
Yeah, I was very surprised too. I don't think I've ever seen a 2D platforming section in SA2. Modded or otherwise. Aside from Crazy Gadget hard mode, that is.
Are we watching the same thing here? Did you not see the extra shit put in place so you could go backwards. Clearly doesn't work in reverse or there wouldn't be all of the boost pads / bounce pads
That is a lot of object clutter. I think they just wanted to see how much they could fit into the level. lol But I feel sorry for the poor sucker or suckers that have to clean everything up. :P
After watching and playing the original level so many times, my brain was having a difficult time processing this version of the level. It's really well done none the less
The 2D sections are a super cool addition. This feels like one of those challenge acts from Generations. Also I find it funny that some people legit get upset over seeing 2D sections in a modded Adventure 2 level
Was not expecting the 2D sections ala Sonic Colors/Generations/Forces, but they were surprisingly well integrated! The first 2D segment reminded me of Virtual Reality from Sonic Forces. Also, 1:18 and 5:22 has the stunts sync up with "live and learn"!
Great showcase! Man, it makes my soul so happy to see new stuff for my favorite game of all time. And this level design is pretty awesome! Sooo glad the modding community not only figured out how to mod this game, but have done such amazing mods. Thanks to the many talented and skilled fans, the replay value of this game has gone from 100 to 900 for me. I love it. Once again, great showcase!
The monstrosity that this is, makes me appreciate how much creativity went into the programmers original level. This is good but the original from ground up is a legendary masterpiece.
good video sonic overtime With this mod, we can deduce that now the goal is the beginning, and the beginning is the goal: p And it's kind of fun to start everything the other way around 6:46 let's play TETRIS XDXDXD
Agreed. If I ever make a game using linear level design, I would add a Backtrack mode, as if the player finally goes home after all they had done. Adds a new experience to the level as well as more content to the game in question.
Interesting mod, it is possible to view unfinished or strange scenarios and textures, because the angle of the game camera was not designed for this angle, cool video 👍
This is really amazing and creative, you’ve done a wonderful job with this! I think this can get a lot better, as well, though, so keep up the awesome work! (:
"Shut the *bonk* up tails we are nearly at the top" If you dont get the reference it's right here ua-cam.com/video/ezOFFVVRUgM/v-deo.html It should be near the end of the video
This just looks like how Sonic would normally leave a city. Also, those are some _steep_ hills! You don't really notice it until you go through the stage backwards.
Really cool concept with mixed execution. The 2D sections feel a little out of place, especially the one at 6:40 where Sonic could've simply hopped off at any moment where it not 2D.
that bit near the end (beginning?) where you have to smash the boxes in a little maze is such a cool idea that im mad they didnt include some version of it in the actual game
This is incredible! I honestly would not mind at all playing every level in reverse. Well, I’m not sure to the extent of “Mad Space” kind of reverse. Thank you for the video! Edit: Thank you so much for loving my comment! You're too kind!
More like *City Exploration* x D But seriously - I like the idea - my only suggestions would be on the rails, the snowboard, and what would be the truck chase sections, to be less steep or inclined to keep that fast pace going. Being so uphill, it seemed to slow down a bit. Other than that - I like it.
Something feels so wrong about a constant uphill Sonic stage. It makes me feel frustration just seeing this. It just reminds me of all the times I didn't have enough momentum in a classic game and how slow Sonic is when there is a slope. There is something inside of me just screaming: "just go down!"

cane just to say this, nice comment
you beat me to it.
"north", not south xD ?
"All major roads are blocked, wtf is taking so long, you idiots?"
"Uh... yeah, dispatch? I'll refer you to sonic x ep 1 where this fuzzy bastard LITERALLY jumped a road block. Thanks, gfy."
This mod really represents how stressful it is living in San Francisco and having to walk UPHILL to work. Shit gets TIRING.
Plus how can you breathe after living so high up?
Hyperventilate for free oxygen
Sorry u have to go through that
So now its "City Visit"? Huh, sonic wanted to come back since they where okay with him now
He just wanted to destroy more GUN mechs. xD

Welcome to City Tour ! :)

In this version of the game… an island materializes, Sonic chases the military, and Eggman fixes a hole in the moon.

Imagine chasing the truck instead of running away.

I mean, you can push it back if you abuse invincibility frames so it's not too far fetched.
@@Keisezrgs I see the truck is scared of hedgehog meat
I picture it going in reverse just as aggressively as it goes forward.
Well do I have a glitch for you...
This puts into perspective just how ludicrously pronounced the inclines are.
Honestly though, still not far off from actual San Francisco lol
Yeah but they are fun
@@lucianoocampo96 For real, though. I've only been to San Francisco once, but man, some of the inclines were practically vertical. How these people get around on foot is beyond me.
It honestly shows just how better it is to make Sonic go downhill and not uphill. Good nonetheless
A mix of both is always good. Uphill causes some of it's own unique challenges.
Well no. The original level is supposed to show some level of unlimited speed and in reverse it's just an uphill slog.
Pyramid cave uses both, Sonic's speed isn't constantly interrupted because the slopes are gradual like a roller coaster, you build a lot of momentum.
@@sonicovertime This great level design went a long way though too
@@Lukedub That's your opinion. If you want others to respect yours, then you have to respect theirs as well. Basic human interaction.

How the heck did you do P-06 speedruns and epic gamer skills with drift??
recently got a new controller from nacon compatible with ps4 to play on pc. Feel better with this one than using PS4 one.
have fun speedrunning that one
1:53 never thought I see the day the adventure games get a 2-D section.
It's like someone just wanted to make us 3D fans mad.
Yeah, I was very surprised too. I don't think I've ever seen a 2D platforming section in SA2. Modded or otherwise. Aside from Crazy Gadget hard mode, that is.
There was a Generations themed mod in Adventire 1 with a 2D section. Either way, I cringe every time it happens.
@@5h3i1ah_and_Nik0 Yeah, I forgot about that one. Good point.
What about Green Hill zone?

“Mom, can we get modern Sonic Generations?”
“No, we have modern Sonic Generations at home.”
Modern Sonic Generations at home: 1:54

This isn't City Escape anymore, this is City Comeback
Trust me and we will be back to the city
City Return?
Don't call it comeback! It's been there for (literally) years!
No it's epacse ytiC
City Entrance
This is what it would be like if City Escape was in the end of the game. Also, it would be named City Visit (as one other comment suggested)
That is a lot of object clutter. I think they just wanted to see how much they could fit into the level. lol
But I feel sorry for the poor sucker or suckers that have to clean everything up. :P
no worries, G.U.N. be rich like that. lol
The city residents must be wondering what all those floating blocks, ramps and dynamite packs are all about.
It looks fun but awkward at the same time
Is no one going to talk about the 2D sections?? I wasn't expecting them, but they surprisingly fit pretty well into the stage.
Sonic: We’ve got to escape from the city!
Also Sonic: Nvm Green Hill is too boring I wanna go back
When you've stayed in green hill for so long it becomes boring now:

@@robot7933 imagine getting tripped
What I love most about your videos is the god tier gameplay, you nail every Sonic game!
Thanks, that's how I like to add my own style to these mod videos. I'm glad you enjoy. :p
So sonic wants to get run over by the truck
I was thinking the same thing, this would have been hilarious with the truck.
recently tried the truck glich bydaway, pretty funny.
feels odd to go up hill..but even then..it does works well.
Edit: also comes with 2D segments like Generation...but lacks the Truck chase
"There are people everywhere!"
"City Escape is a lot more like City Tour right now"
This is so well done but at the same time, it's cursed.
Ikr it feels so strange seeing sections from the outside.
He's a little confused, but he's got the spirit.
Me when i forget my copy book at home but i'm just at the front of my school

Did SA2 just turn into a 2D platformer briefly?
it did.. lol

Damn, never realised there were so many downward sloped in city escape
Sonic adventure 2 director’s cut looks good
As someone who lives in San Francisco, and has had to walk up some very steep hills, I find this to be very accurate
The monstrosity that this is, makes me appreciate how much creativity went into the programmers original level. This is good but the original from ground up is a legendary masterpiece.
Your opinion, m8. I’d say it’s good, but not quite masterpiece materials
I'm truly glad that this popped up in my recommendations.
radio lady should’ve been like “wait, he’s coming back”
@Nana Darkwah Reply to cringe comment
@Nana Darkwah Woah. Are we in a cringe war?
They call that part of the city "Downtown" for some reason
They should've played the music in reverse too.
Watching this in reverse makes you realise what a nightmare this city would be to live in lol
Wow, amazing job! You actually managed to make the reverse version playable and fun experience as well, gonna try it myself
good video sonic overtime
With this mod, we can deduce that now the goal is the beginning, and the beginning is the goal: p
And it's kind of fun to start everything the other way around

let's play TETRIS
XDXDXD
This level design is so jank....
I love it.
this level becomes a complete drag if you go backwards, it's a literal uphill battle
I'd love a mod where every level was reversed like this, this is a p cool concept
Agreed. If I ever make a game using linear level design, I would add a Backtrack mode, as if the player finally goes home after all they had done. Adds a new experience to the level as well as more content to the game in question.
@@ge789 bruh thats swag af
living here would be a chore, i could feel how dreadful those inclines are, so much for city escape, this is gymnastics escape, my goodness
Interesting mod, it is possible to view unfinished or strange scenarios and textures, because the angle of the game camera was not designed for this angle, cool video 👍
So this is how sonic goes back to the top when he repeats a stage
Probably
Hey look, 2D sections in an Adventure game.
If only that was shown in P-06, because that's the pinnacle of the Adventure formula.
This is really amazing and creative, you’ve done a wonderful job with this! I think this can get a lot better, as well, though, so keep up the awesome work! (:

I've had nightmares about driving on slopes like this. Now I know where it comes from.
This just looks like how Sonic would normally leave a city.
Also, those are some _steep_ hills!
You don't really notice it until you go through the stage backwards.
“suspect seen headed south”
sure
*Leave me be*
*Imprison me*
*Doubt me and we will*
*Break into the city!*
you know..i dont think i ever realized how well Verticle this stage is till now.
funny how a mod can make you see things like this
So you just goes backwards okay then it's cool I'll like it
The level is even more modern now with the 2d sections
Tony Hawk's Uphill Jam
yooo, I remember almost 100% downhill jam as a kid. good times, that game was actually really hard.
If Sega makes a Sonic Adventure 2 remake, this needs to be a level.
This is actually so fucking awesome. Best SA2 mod yet. Hope they do more backward levels!
Really cool concept with mixed execution. The 2D sections feel a little out of place, especially the one at 6:40 where Sonic could've simply hopped off at any moment where it not 2D.
Going up all those upwards hills is what it’s like walking in SF
I remember trying to do this concept with SRB2 levels back in 2.1, but it was nothing like this! There some really neat level design in this mod here.
A literal interpretation of the term "uphill battle"
This is proof that running up hill is way much harder than running down one.
that bit near the end (beginning?) where you have to smash the boxes in a little maze is such a cool idea that im mad they didnt include some version of it in the actual game
This is incredible! I honestly would not mind at all playing every level in reverse. Well, I’m not sure to the extent of “Mad Space” kind of reverse. Thank you for the video!
Edit: Thank you so much for loving my comment! You're too kind!
What if this stage was reversed? How crazy would it be to go down those inclines instead of up them, somebody should put that in a Sonic game.
its nice they added 2D sections in the stage
I was expecting to see a cutscene of the GUN truck driver putting the truck in reverse but this is just as good 👍
I'd like to imagine that City Escape was under construction with all that platforming added on.
Physics: aight, Imma head out.
Camera angle: I'm right behind you...
More like *City Exploration* x D
But seriously - I like the idea - my only suggestions would be on the rails, the snowboard, and what would be the truck chase sections, to be less steep or inclined to keep that fast pace going. Being so uphill, it seemed to slow down a bit. Other than that - I like it.
Sonic’s on his way to turn himself in for his crimes
"Attention all units, suspect was seen heading North."
I guess Sonic was LIVIN IN THE CITY!
Half expecting Sonic to be on his hands and knees trying to catch his breath after this.
Something feels so wrong about a constant uphill Sonic stage. It makes me feel frustration just seeing this. It just reminds me of all the times I didn't have enough momentum in a classic game and how slow Sonic is when there is a slope.
There is something inside of me just screaming: "just go down!"
this is definitely the most odd and bizarre take on city escape by far.
it's hella fuckin cluttered but really creative, i liked that. the 2d sections made me chuckle, those were pretty clever
Well I now know I didn't need to see city escape from this angel.
What has been seen can not be unseen.
Damn, this whole level is a huge uphill battle.
I was kinda hoping there would be a big spring that launches him up to the helicopter and trigger a cutscene where Sonic turns himself in to GUN
I read "Sonic turns himself into a GUN".
Now i can't unimagine a Sonic Glock XD
Just 3 rings away from 500
1:53-What, is it just an unspoken rule now that every 3D Sonic level mod is obligated to have an Unleashed style 2D section?
its like the video game equivalent to having to ride a bike up a hill
What a genius idea
"Suspect Is Heading South"
Sonic Going North Instead: *Well Yes But Actually Yes*
The level is actually good damn....
Nice how they changed a lot of the layout to make it more interestin- did they just implement a 2D section into Sonic Adventure 2?!
This level is such an uphill battle
There are some very uhh interesting design choices
I now realise how long the road during the gun truck segment actually is
Surprised and thankful that the music isn't reversed also
City Escape but Sonic forgot his wallet
Your trip back to the city took 7 minutes and 39 seconds. See if you can get an even better time!
