Popular Post Ming Ming Hatsune Posted March 28, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) IMPORTANT NOTE: Ignore the trojan alerts, it's because the S2HD Team (mainly LOst) put some strong DRM protection on it to prevent people from modifying the code. If you got the alert, turn off your anti-virus/firewall/whatever it is for it to function properly. If you allowed the antivirus to put a certain file go in to quarantine, extract the files again. Enjoy~! <3 UPDATE 04/19/2012 - THE GAME HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. Read the announcement here. ~~~ Stop everything that you're doing guys and girls. The long-awaited fan game alpha release for Sonic 2 HD is here. Download it and support the developers if you have a soul, NOW. Note to those who are unaware: Sonic 2 HD is an unofficial fan remake of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in stunning High Definition. Note 2: This is an Alpha release, expect a few bugs and Emerald Hill Zone is the only playable zone from this release.

Indigo Rush Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Got it working a while ago. This game is a dream come true. I couldn't help but smile while playing it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyant Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) SEE GUYS!!! HALF LIFE EPISODE 3 CAAAAANNNN HAPPEN! This coming out is solid proof damn it! Edited March 28, 2012 by Voyant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ming Ming Hatsune Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 I finally got to play it. I couldn't close my mouth from the moment the title screen popped up. The graphics are amazing. Absolutely stunning. Now this is what I call a HD release. If this is going to be a PSN/XBLA release, I would have thrown money all over this game. Even if it's $15? Hell yeah. Now excuse me, I need to replay the game again even though it's just Emerald Hill Zone. It's *that* good. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ming Ming Hatsune Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 I have yet to play it, for some reason I can't get it to work!! I click on the application and nothing happens =( There are two versions of the game in the zip file. 32-bit and 64-bit. If your computer is 64-bit, you should start up Sonic2HD64.exe instead of the normal one. Also make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements (found in the manual) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LATER BUDDY Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Oh my, this looks pretty damn awesome. There's a few things that kinda irk me though, which it kinda looks flash-gamey at times. I can't really put my finger on why, and I kinda want to guess the background parallax scrolling, but it honestly could be anything. I also not a fan of the music remixes at points. It seems really reverby like they're trying to pad stuff out or something *shrugs*. Those are some awesome horns though, <3. Eh, I'll play the full thing when it comes out, whenever that is, XD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wittymations Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Guess I'll give this a shot. Yo, is there a Sonic 1 type deal for this? Ah, I may look for it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiah Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I downloaded it, but whenever I click on either .exe file I get the error message "A required .DLL file, S2HD64.dll (or S2HD.dll), was not found". Any ideas on what the problem is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotten Sammich Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) Check out the _NAKALOG. At the end of each log, it says: "Naka needs his beauty sleep" I lol'd Edited March 28, 2012 by sammichbars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Agent Motobug Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I agree with Wolfy, i really do think it's flash-gamey looking. Sonic doesn't pop out as much as I think he should, too. The remixes are alright but too verb'y for my liking, yeah. Neat idea, though! Love the crap out of their logo, XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ming Ming Hatsune Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Spoiler: Tails is playable in this demo. Look in the manual for more details on how to unlock Tails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wittymations Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 All these Sonics in the credits kinda make me think that'd be a neat feature in a legit game. Press select or something to quickly switch to a different Sonic. lol Doubt too many would agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss (legendsneverdie) Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Looks nice, but not that special. Also, are the physics the same as the original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solkia Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) Wow, and here I thought they'd given up on it. EDIT: I can't get it to work. Edited March 28, 2012 by Solkia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOcelot Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I love how Act 1 flows seemlessly - straight into Act 2 just like in S3&K 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solkia Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Ok got it to work, do the controls seem really stiff to any of you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlenJimi Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Eggman looks really bad. Straight from a flash game. Everything else looks fine I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeblastdude Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Wow, quite a bit of negativity in this thread. :\ I know it's not completely perfect, but come on guys, a LOT of effort has gone into this (and it really shows). Even though it's just Emerald Hill Zone, I can't help but appreciate all of the little details. The dancing flowers, the tree leaves blowing in the wind... everything is just so full of life. They completely nailed the classic art style. I'm quite impressed, and definitely look forward to another release in the future (whenever that may be). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your Vest Friend Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'd love to give my opinion on it...but when I run the .exe, I only see a blank screen in the game window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Blood Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I can't help but feel conflicted by my admiration of this game and strong dislike of teams decision to stop this being a community project. It's kind of a kick in the teeth to everyone who joined in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JezMM Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 So uhh... is it meant to make Windows Security Essentials detect a Severe Threat trojan and then proceed to take longer to load than Sonic 2006? I made it to the title screen (and it was a gorgeous title screen) after about a minute of loading and then got bored waiting for Emerald Hill to start up.
