Has anybody following this Twitter account? https://twitter.com/s3remastered

He seems to be making the S3 Remastered that never was greenlit. I don't know if he's using the Retro Engine, but if he's making a new one, it's an amazing effort.

Some vids:

Yeah, I've been following the progress of this one.

It's in early stages. Neither Taxman, Stealth or PagodaWest are involved.

This is the guy who is working on the unofficial version of Sonic 3 Remastered:

Interestingly he's also a Programming Assistant on A Hat in Time, so he knows what he's doing by the sound of it.

Ooooh, , I hadn't seen this. Actually looks pretty good.

Thanks for the heads up.

If I was Taxman I'd urge Sega to hire this guy for the Mania Team to make an official Sonic 3 Remastered.

At least, if this new project is finished, it's going to be on Android ("eventually", says the disclaimer)

This guy has programmed act2 of Hydrocity:

I'm amazed that this guy is repeating the Taxman's steps that easy. The level looks perfect to me.

He's been working on Sonic 3 Remastered for quite a while:

Another update: According to this Twitter thread, it seems the Drop Dash from Mania is in this too.

Taxman and this guy makes replicating Sonic's engine look easy. I really envy people this talented.

I've been following this project too, it looks cool.

I hope it gets completed, I can't wait to play the definitive edition of Sonic 3 (gimme that widescreen).

The definitive Sonic 3k was already made wasn't it?

Not sure what you're thinking of, but for most people a definitive version of Sonic 3 would be comparable to the mobile ports of Sonic 1, 2, and CD. Sonic 3 never received a mobile remaster like that.

Sonic 3 Complete...

That thing, it's the recent definitive version...

And that's just a fan hack. I'm really only thinking of official releases, from Sega themselves.

Sure, fans can go and download that and will be happy, but there's no "definitive" version of the game for the uninformed consumer. Something that someone could just go and purchase legally.
