Ever wanted a REAL HD Sonic 2?

Post by Nico0020 »

Apparently there are some guys from the makers of the RetroSonic Engine working on this. I'll post more info when I gather it together.

There are playable demos of this floating around too. Just a very small section you can run around. It does look good.

Yeah, that's the one I was referring to. I couldn't remember where I'd downloaded it though

You know now that I think about it, I think I remember seeing a post about this before........

Was this the same one from the screenshot of the final battle on the death egg, I thought that was just art someone made?

Nope, same game. I don't think any tech demos were out then though, that was when it was still in the very early stages.

Actually, that image was a mock made by someone completely different. That Death Egg image was just concept art, nothing more.

Oh, wow. From what I remember, the image looked pretty damn close to how this game is turning out though.

Is this only for PC? Any chance for Sonic HD port to DC, or do I have to get a current gen console to play HD Sega Genesis?
I have a decent PC that'll play most newer games, so I really don't feel like forking out another 250-400 dollars...

Dreamcast does 800x600 at best, which I assume games like Ikaruga and Under Defeat use. However, the single resolution its video hardware outputs to the TV / monitor seems to be 640x480p.

This project seems to be PC only as of yet.
Insane homebrew collector.
