WHY KNUCKLES IS IN SONIC 2 WHEN IT SUPPOSE TO BE TAILS?!?!

[candybutt56]

I don't get it... when I try I get 1 ring, and then I have no rings if I do it again.

[animegamingdude]

The reason why Super Sonic isn't shown is because, if you look very closely before the demo ends, it's the Super Sonic from Sonic 2, so there really isn't anything to be shown.

[yourneighborsdog]

come on man! really? still 4:3? T-T

and the super sonic theme is too stringy. less attack time plawcks.

[yourneighborsdog]

come on man! really? still 4:3? T-T

[greenknight9000]

3:09 look at the bottem super s0nic OMFG

[mariofana]

Knuckles is like "Gravity ? FUCK THAT"

Like a boss

[robbie84]

hey how do i get this music??? its gone when i downloaded the tech demo :(

[FireEmblemFlame]

I have a brand new computer and the game runs like crap

what is this

[InsanimationStudios]

Just so you know. There's a guy on YouTube called "dummeh" who made a couple of Sonic 2 music remakes. They have a lot better music synths (they are basicly what the music would be in the original had it been HD mp3s) and are slightly different near the end with some remixed notes. And they are better in my opinion than the ones in this video. Please check out this example if you care to: watch?v=dq8gDUIeOmc

[8ElCarlos8]

super sonic is no yellow!!Checked for me

[PKNproductions]

THE BASS LINE IN THE BGM SOUNDS AMAZING

fuck.

[wooterz]

How come this demo runs at like 1FPS on my computer?

[Zepthire]

Whats happened to Sonic 2 HD now? is it dead? :(

[fsx20022004]

so do you have to go 7 times around, then restart, then 4 times, then restart again, then 7 times, and walla?

[scootlink]

Alas, Knuckles has not yet made the leap to HD...

[AmazonianBeauty]

:O WOW!!!

Sonic 2 was my fave Megadrive game.....They've made what i loved about Sonic 2, (the visuals look fabulous and music sounds super cool :) look even better.

I can't wait to play the finished version, as long as there's controller support

[ZutiBar1]

good work!

[InsanimationStudios]

3:09 Hey! You can see one of Super Sonic's spines!

[SilverFlames]

@InsanimationStudios 3:10 you can see him completely.

[KazeLynn]

Little off-topic but when are you all adding a beta for Tails? And is there a reason for trying to make Knuckles work before Tails? If Knux has all his abilities, I would really like to see a vid where you show Tails flying...

[aaronjs4]

I SAW HIM!

[KreoTheHedgehog]

i think he didn't show it because he kiss knux and transform super sonic. Other reasons, Sonic stole debuged rings on knux.

[avolonsaber]

I saw super sonic!!!!! pause right before it ends!

[aaronjs4]

U R Gay

Why Didnt You Show Him?

[dylanneill]

I hope there is tails because sonic 2 is his game in a way

[DansukeTheHedgehog]

this should SO be in XBLA!!

[MrDevlance]

XBLA should be in the trash along with the xbox and with microsoft!

[DansukeTheHedgehog]

i hate fanboys. Okay, if i say this game should be in PSN would you agree?

[MrDevlance]

No...

[KazeLynn]

@DansukeTheHedgehog I would, but then it wouldn't be free to play. Fuck all the consoles in this case, because I like my free downloads~

Besides, if they put it on a console they would need to sell it, and that means making it SEGA property officially, and I hope all who have respect for the Genesis's dignity know why that's a strict N O.

[scootlink]

Yes

[MrNicktheparakeet]

@DansukeTheHedgehog unless sega say so i dont think we will have the pleasure, altho i would pay a good 60bucks for something like this.

[DamianHuggies]

Saw him 3:08. PWNT

[Falnky]

Wow, I love this remix. Close enough to the original to still feel nostalgic, but it has more punch. Really looking forward to this project being released.

[mariostar5000]

i saw super sonic as it zoomed out, if u look closly u can find him if u pause at the right time.

[nonobaOMGWEEGEE2]

Aww come on! Just show super sonic!

[InsanimationStudios]

it would be awesome if when you hit top speed and i mean AS FAST AS POSSIBLE with the super duper shoes, sonic would create a sonic boom.

[ZogDawg]

I think I liked the Sega sawtooth lead sound better than the MIDI brass.

[Titanicfansuper]

is the project dead? i havent dee anymore demos after this one

[PKNproductions]

nah man its extremely alive. Ive been contributing to the music

the reason why there are few demos is because there really aren't supposed to be that many demos at all. this one was just released as a proof of concept and to get some feedback on the render method.

[Fang1800x]

D: you off screened super sonic

[malikrthr1]

I know for a fact that sonic should be shorter because knuckles is supposed to be taller. In the 90s, the sonic 2 sprites may look tall but they are not. knuckles is a tad bit taller than sonic although his jumping is weaker. For those people who don't agree, you can just say that knuckles is not in HD. As you can see from the videom sonic is the only one in HD. These are just the original knuckles sprites from the sega genesis.

[Omochao0]

Why can't you show Super Sonic?

[InsanimationStudios]

@Omochao0 They didn't make any graphics for super sonic.

[SickleSlash]

Not to be a nitpicker or anything but Knuckles doesn't look HD, he just looks 16 bit still. Or is this a bug that needs to be fixed?

[jiposphere]

I guess they didn't add the 'HD Sprites' for Knuckles yet, so yeah - he is still in the 'classic' 16bit form. =3

[didowexbox]

yeah

[aaronjs4]

naah i think hes suppost to be 16-bit. it is a demo

[pizzaiolom]

SONG DOWNLOAD NAO!

[RandomAvatarFan]

I don't get this, do you have to have 2 players and go through it that many times as knuckles?

[youcantubeittoo]

Sonic Retro is broken ATM ("Page cannot be displayed" when accessed). Is there anywhere else I can get this?

[TailsSR]

Thanks for the info. But one more question. Is this game Linux compatible? I don't own a PC but I use my PlayStation 3 with ubuntu Linux. I'd rather find out through you instead of installing it and being mega dissappointed.

[CapitanNSama]

You can try using it with wine on GNU/Linux

[hodgy100]

It wont work I'm afraid. The game will require access to the GPU which the PS3 does not allow.

[CyborgNinja7]

Is the GPU programming libraries or some kind of graphics processor? BTW, I recommend you use the Chemical Plant remix called "Sonic 2 Zone 2 Remix" at Newgrounds. The creator already said you guys could use it. It's much better than the version you have right now, more instrumental if that's the right word.

[TailsSR]

Does anyone know where I can download this CPZ track? It's amazing! Especially the slap bass in the background! I gotta learn that bassline!

[losttetristgm]

Download the Tech Demo Second release at Sonic Retro (search on Google). The track is located in the .\data\bgm\cp1_0.ogg

[zyriuz2]

@TailsSR you can also go to the inker database for sonic 2 and go to music chemical plant and download the Scuba-Steve version of the track ^^

[Salchichonide]

Will this game have a save feature?

[losttetristgm]

Sonic 2 doesn't need a save feature. But it sure needs a online time attack mode :P

[SSJ6Wolf]

@losttetristgm Sorry but actually it really does need a save feature. It was the only reason I couldn't beat the game on the original genesis.

[rorkimaru]

This makes my physics knowelege sad

[slashzaku15]

well it's not made to be realistic it's made to imitate the psysics From Sonic the Hedgehog 2. also he's flipping gravity when he goes up top

[saitoexe]

When did Sonic ever uphold the laws of physics?

[rorkimaru]

actually Sonic had fairly realistic physics. complicated too from a programming stand point. It's only due to Sonic having such great speed that he could run allong walls etc.

If you search for a sonic game build with blender's game engine (has internal physics) you can see this employed in a 3d simulation

[saitoexe]

Realistic from a two dimensional standpoint? I'm fine with the that, I guess I'm being picky about the lack of SONIC BOOMS

They would make the game awesome

[casemanager89]

my friend was on my account when he posted that I can have him post it again on his account soon

[StrikeDaMic]

any chance to download the remastered music tracks?

[casemanager89]

The databse,  sanik hacking-cult org/inker/

[StrikeDaMic]

thx but I can't make sense of your URL

[Ehal256]

sanik[.]hacking-cult[.]org/ink­er/index[.]php

[StrikeDaMic]

oh my ... god. Guys ... I was the biggest Sonic fan ever to see the light of day, and to see you guys work on something like this ... the absolutely ingenious musical remake alone made me get the chills. I do graphical design and music, if I can be of any help, please write. It would be the greatest honor to me.

[casemanager89]

Check this post here; forums[.]sonicretro[.]org/inde­x[.]php?showtopic=12307

[sonicpalace]

Ohhh snap! i was expecting i could see Super Sonic XD Well, at least the audio of his remix is better...

Well, even with the looong part of Knuckles running around the screen, it worth watching. 3 stars.

[losttetristgm]

I wanted to show that I needed a cupple of times to actually succeed. Taking that away from the video might have given the wrong message that it is easy to get the Super power. It is real though. I am not acting. I would have completed this the first try if I was better.

[beastarrows]

do i need something to download this game if so can you give me a link to it please i would appreciate it

[losttetristgm]

It's a technical demo. Can be downloaded at Sonic Retro forums. Search Google to find it

[srb2silentsnipe]

Awesome
