- haxr, on 04/26/2008, -2/+78Of all the games being remade in HD, this one definitely merits the effort. Hopefully the demand will be there.
- elephantay, on 04/26/2008, -2/+71Oh *****!
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2010/2084665595_bc8 ... - MrM1yagi, on 04/26/2008, -2/+70Do you know one reason why this is already going to be better than every recent Sonic release?
It's Dr. Robotnik, not Eggman. - samsonlonghair, on 04/26/2008, -0/+55Here's my magical prediction: Sega will threaten legal action. In response to legal action, this project will be shutdown or forced under the radar. After seeing the profits other companies make from creating HD remixes of popular 2D games, Sega will rush to cobble together a HD remix four years later. Sega's official HD remix will stink. When Investors demand to know why the S2HD remix game sold less than expected, Sega will point back to this and claim that "piracy" is the reason their HD remix sold so poorly.
Call me cynical. - KMartSheriff, on 04/26/2008, -1/+48And doesn't have Shadow, Cream, or whatever other ***** new characters. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Robotnik. Boom, done.
- DanielPrimed, on 04/26/2008, -2/+28Sonic 2 is definetly my favourite out of the bunch, its fantastic to know that people are keen to work on such an endevourous project.
- dagamer34, on 04/26/2008, -0/+24Everything's better in HD, except porn.
- toastgodsupreme, on 04/26/2008, -0/+22It's as if you can see the future!
- Ramble, on 04/26/2008, -2/+22Don't let them touch the music, the original stuff is so good and addictive.
- mattcoady, on 04/26/2008, -0/+18Hopfully they'll add in Hidden Palace Zone which was in the beta but cut from the final release.
- psykiv, on 04/26/2008, -0/+18a. If they remake the extended version of sonic 2 in HD, that would be even sweeter
b. Hopefully this project will not go the way of OoT 2D (where the guy faked his own death to get out of the project) - racketboy, on 04/26/2008, -1/+17Now if Sega would just hire people like this that are passionate about the project, we'd be all set!
- Zarokima, on 04/27/2008, -0/+15Meh. Shadow is the best of the superfluous characters, but really that's kind of like being the coolest kid with down syndrome.
- Louis11, on 04/27/2008, -0/+14Anyone know how to get in contact with the developers? I own http://www.Sonic2HD.com and would love to donate it to the project!
- TheWriteGuy, on 04/26/2008, -0/+14The safest way for them to avoid being shut down is to not make and release a self-standing game. Instead, one of the Genesis emulators could be modified to allow for these fan-made high-res sprites to be loaded when one loads a ROM for Sonic 1 or Sonic 2.
- Conrey, on 04/26/2008, -0/+14Blasphemy.
- Ashkc88, on 04/26/2008, -0/+13This looks like it's going to be awesome, and the fact that they plan to add Knuckles as a playable character makes it even better.
Hopefully this isn't taken out because of the re-release of Sonic 2 on the Xbox 360 / Nintendo Wii. - joehobbes, on 04/26/2008, -0/+13Yeah, that screen was on Digg a while back -- about made me pass out from joy overload when I saw it the first time
- Flyfox, on 04/27/2008, -0/+12We could be seeing "Dr. Robotnik" in the upcoming major game:

Great one, guys. - racketboy, on 04/26/2008, -2/+13No kidding. Maybe it's just because it came with my Genesis when I was a kid and I played it to death, but I absolutely love Sonic 2. Whenever I boot up a Genesis emulator or my Sonic Mega Collection, that's usually my goto game. For some people its the original Super Mario Bros, but for me, it's Sonic 2.
- schavira, on 04/26/2008, -0/+10The title screen turned me off, but then when I saw the sprite recreations I was amazed.
I hope they can do the same thing to Sonic 3 and Knuckles. In fact, if they could combine all of the 2D Sonics (CD/Sonic and Knuckles included) into one piece like this that would be amazing. - Conrey, on 04/26/2008, -1/+11I know this is all homebrew, but I would love to have this on xbox live, or anything I dont' have to use a keyboard with
They released the original on xbl but I still have the cartridge, so it seems pointless - SonicTweaker, on 04/26/2008, -2/+12I didn't submit it to Digg. racketboy did, and did it with incorrect information about the project, for that matter.
This project is an extremely early state--I have no idea why it was being publicized. Regardless, it doesn't help when my website is flooded with hundreds of of people who will likely be disappointed with what they see. - khyberkitsune, on 04/26/2008, -0/+9Why not just use a controller hooked up to your PC? Not everything is kbd+mouse
- Ashkc88, on 04/27/2008, -0/+9Amy? Really?
- indiancompanion, on 04/26/2008, -0/+8you sir have always sucked (the *****)
- hpdarkman525, on 04/27/2008, -2/+10Metal Sonic WAS in Sonic the Hedgehog 2... also: Fang the Sniper? Nack the Weasel? Who?????
- dext3r, on 04/26/2008, -0/+8Either leave it or use the Sonic 2 soundtrack from OC Remix
- KMartSheriff, on 04/26/2008, -2/+9SEGA, are you listening!? Get your ***** together. It's been like 10 years of sucking massive amounts of ***** for you, but this can all change. Pick these guys up! Make them re-make all the old Sonic games (in HD, sure why not) for XBL or PSN. It's a huge step in the right direction to becoming the SEGA we all knew and loved.
- InuX, on 04/26/2008, -0/+7As soon as I saw that picture I heard the battle song in my head.
- khyberkitsune, on 04/26/2008, -0/+7You're paying for internet to post here. That's something that isn't a game.
- richIsBored, on 04/27/2008, -0/+6You'll need more than a time machine. You'll also have to travel to some parallel universe where SEGA doesn't stomp this project into the dirt.
- joehobbes, on 04/26/2008, -0/+6I think they hired some of the emulator programmers a while back for their compilations.
Maybe they'll be smart in this case as well! - SaladCactusKing, on 04/27/2008, -0/+6Way to go MrBabyMan.
- jeet404, on 04/27/2008, -0/+5They should hire these guys and sell this on PSN, XBL and Wii network so they can make huge profit out of it. I am willing to buy this the day it comes...not willing but my natural instinct.
- PaulOwen, on 04/26/2008, -0/+5Doesn't Sega Incorporated have any issues with this?
I'd hate for the homebrew developers to go through the effort of re-mapping and rewriting the game for the community only to get a "cease and desist" letter drop onto their doormats. Seriously. - Spaceomega, on 04/26/2008, -3/+8HD? I don't seem to remember the component attachment for my SNES.
- joehobbes, on 04/26/2008, -0/+5Yeah -- especially if they can make it looks like that concept screenshot.
Could you image that running on a huge plasma screen?! - theNolander, on 04/26/2008, -3/+8oh wow! a nintendo fanboy! don't see those everyday.
- SSUK, on 04/26/2008, -0/+5In Sonic 2, go to the options screen, play Sound Test 10 or 11... Forget which one. Remember that tune? No? Well, that was the tune that was meant to be used for a zone Sonic 2 once had called "Hidden Palace Zone". It was designed to be a secret stage you would go to after you met certain criteria. However, was scrapped due to time restraints. Some developers had said you would have gone there to become Super Sonic, but can't be certain that's true.

Also, there are a few prototype versions of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 knocking around the internet. They all have Hidden Palace playable in them. It doesn't seem like HPZ was worked on at all since the first known prototype we have. - buggu, on 04/27/2008, -0/+5This is a Sonic fan's dream come true. Hopefully they won't be served with the C&D letter from SEGA like those guys who were making the Chrono remake, thus ending a brilliant project.
- Stevo23, on 04/27/2008, -0/+5Mario Morld was the *****!
- Owwmykneecap, on 04/26/2008, -2/+6Its a reference to the fact the Super Mario 1, Japanese 2, and 3 had their graphics redone on Super Mario All stars on the snes.
- richard2, on 04/27/2008, -0/+4The X-Box Live Arcade, I think.
- Amadeus2490, on 04/26/2008, -1/+5When are they going to do the original Sonic The Hedgehog in HD? Lemme know.
- ANT1138, on 04/26/2008, -0/+4I never thought that pic would become a real sonic game. Cool.. It'll probably be even better than that.
- Versh, on 04/26/2008, -0/+4Maybe now I'll finally be able to get all of the chaos emeralds-- (without debug menu codes).
I hope Sega allows this, maybe even officially publish it... I'd pay to play this. - deltageek, on 04/26/2008, -0/+4They're already getting permissions from some of the OC Remiixers
- solid12345, on 04/26/2008, -0/+4I wish they would remake Sonic CD in HD, that is superior to both Sonic 2 and I think even 3.
