However the Sonic 2 HD project seems to have gotten away (so far) with their project to completely remake the beloved Sega classic. We have seen this in the past year with a fan made campaign to remake Star Wars Battlefront 3. Keep up with events at the official, relaunched web page.The world of fan remakes is fraught with all kinds of legal ramifications such as cancellations due to cease and desist orders from publishers. Is it not something that would be perfectly at home on modern PCs and the Switch? Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is only available on Steam via emulation, and Christian Whitehead’s superb 2013 remake was released solely on mobile platforms.
It’s at this point that I must speak in my personal capacity, and say that it would be fantastic if this project became an official endeavor and made an appearance on consoles and Steam. It all promises to be available in the upcoming 2.0 demo, scheduled for a release of the 30th of September. The trailer in question shows a couple of re-imagined zones, alongside other small details that fans will notice. The project was revived later, but news only trickled at a slow rate, no doubt partly because of the team’s official contract with SEGA. A one-zone public demo of Sonic 2 HD was released in 2012, but the project was cancelled soon afterwards due to developer infighting and negative public backlash after several antivirus programs flagged the 32-bit executable as a keylogger. It’s coded from scratch and features a roster of names that are now known to have helped developed Sonic Mania. With this in mind, we’ve been treated to a brand new trailer of Sonic 2 HD, a fan game that’s been on hiatus for several years.Īs you can tell by the title, Sonic 2 HD is an attempt to recreate the original 16-bit title with modern, crisper visuals and audio influenced by the early days of SEGA’s advertising. More to the point, the blue blur’s latest release and subsequent success has truly driven the point home that fangaming is perfectly viable. Ever since the release of Sonic Mania, the gaming world has had a serious bout of Sonic fever.
