True, and yet, like many Sonic fangames, few people are able to recreate it correctly. But yeah, back to the topic at hand.

and why does it bother you so much that i have what appears to be a visual opinion, just because i criticized it? it didn't say "its sonic 3 in sonic 2" i said it LOOKS like sonic 3 and sonic 2 and thats because sonic doesn't really look like how he did in sonic 2 and more like how he does in sonic 3

for me, one of the main visual ways of telling what sonic game i'm playing is sonic himself, the way he looks and his animations help me determine quickly which sonic game i'm playing

and the reason why i said it looks like a flashgame is from all the damn gradient

...But his animations are clearly from Sonic 2?

i was being completely general about any of the sonic games including sonic cd even
everything else was directed at sonic 2 hd

keychain, jesus fucking christ you're making no fucking sense. Can you put a bit more thought into your posts? If you did we wouldn't be having this huge discussion of me and Tyvon trying to figure out what the fuck you're trying to say. Either that or you're trying to backtrack really hard. I'm gonna reply to the only post I could understand from you.

All the animations are based upon Sonic 2's, which made me wonder what exactly of Sonic 3 you were seeing in it. You didn't specify what of Sonic 3 it looked like so I really didn't know what the fuck you were trying to say with that. It could have been anything else other than just how Sonic looks, because you didn't specify or explain anything at all. Lazy posts that says nothing like that really fucking bothers me.

Also that sprite is from Sonic 1/Sonic CD. If you see the sprite-sheet that Tyvon linked, you'll see the exact same frame looking almost the same. :I

you are bothered really easily, just because someone doesn't like something about a fan-made rehash. i'm just saying i think the sprites look more like sonic 3's, other than the ones that contain specific animations from sonic 2 of course

and i think the sprites look the same to sonic 3's because of the overall build they have. sonic 2 hd's quills look thicker than sonic 2's originals. as well as the pupils are smaller and more focused to the right side of his eye. though when i look closer i can see sonic 2 and hd's shading are much more similar

like i said i'm only going on by what the main, shared sprites look like. calm the fuck down

if i was actually bashing the game for it, then you getting mad over it would have made sense :c

This game has nothing on sonic fan remix, it's just a scaled up version of the old game with awful rendering. Pass.

jesus christ, i'm not pissed because you're criticizing the game (saying that the sprites look more like sonic 3 than sonic 2 doesn't say anything whether the game is good or not anyway), i'm pissed because your posts were really fucking lazy :I

the only similiarity that I see, as you said, is because the pupils aren't as thick, which is understandable because they seem to be trying to replicate the original artworks.

I highly disagree, this has a lot of polish in it. I now see that the mix of gradients and vectors is to mimic the japanese classic Sonic artworks, while still trying to be faithful to the original graphics. Just take a look and percieve the details:

No, it really is nothing compared to Fan Remix.

You have to realize, the games have completely different goals here. Sonic Fan Remix is trying to do something completely new, with its 2.5D gameplay, original level design, and brand new scenery. This project isn't trying to be anything more than a facelift of an old game. Earthworm Jim HD did essentially the same thing, and it was pretty widely praised. The two projects are different beasts entirely.

Derp.

Guess you can chalk one down for yourself on that scoreboard of yours.

I disagree about being a scaled-up version with awful rendering. What is with the whole rivalry of Fan Remix and Sonic 2 HD in this thread anyway? I'll be in fucking heaven if either one of those projects ever get completed :I But I gotta say that this one kind of strikes me better because the graphics don't get dirty and clustered like Sonic Fan Remix gets, even though Sonic Fan Remix has god fucking damn beautiful 3D graphics outside that.

Sonic Fan Remix is more of a complete re-interpretation while Sonic 2 HD is pretty much trying to just facelift and update the original - staying really close to the original japanese artworks and all.
