    Sonic Fan Remix

    Friend linked me this little while ago, looks interesting and there's no chance the chap behind it will fuck it up more than SEGA would.

    Demo link from: http://sonicfanremix.com/

    They could break the Sonic cycle.

    The beauty of running on a PC.

    The last few Sonic games the past while all had to cater to the lowest common denominator, the Wii.
    (or in the case of Sonic 4, the iPhone also)


    Anyways, there's too many visual distractions in the fan remix there, makes it harder to focus on what's actually part of the playing field, and what's part of the foreground/background.

    ^ Maybe if you're 65 and can't follow movements and colors anymore. The shit looks awesome to me, and I could track the action just fine. My only "complaint" (haha... I can't even use that term) is that Sonic's feet move too slow when he's accelerating. He's jogging or slowly walking, yet he's actually moving quickly.

    This looks much better than Sonic 4. >_>
    It probably took more than a couple of years to finish, though...

    Nope, he's right. There's too much going on, and not much separates the enemies, background and sonic. It's visually impressive, but at the same time visually overwhelming.

    In the video this is true, I just got finished actually playing the demo and I didn't have any issues except when this HUGE DAMN WHALE jumped at the screen... I was just like OH FUCK except it doesn't do anything except distract you.
    That's really the only instance of the background messing with you.

    If you want visually underwhelming, there's the Wii version of the real thing waiting just for you. Enjoy.

    Sucks Sega seemed to catch wind of this game, could have been a hell of a great fan game. Would have loved to see what he would have done with Death Egg.

    Not sure how I feel about enemies having health bars, but looks like it has a lot of potential.

    Yeah, because being overwhelmed is good! How about they just do it right, not under or overwhelming, and that would be better.

    Because neither one is good.

    Actually play the demo before you say it's overwhelming though because in practice it really... isn't.

    Well to give it credit, this game looks a lot better than Sonic 4. However, I still think it is pretty gaudy. The 3D in the foreground reminds me of Donkey Kong Country and the backgrounds are dull if not outright ugly aside from the cool stuff happening in the background. It might look a lot better when/if they move away from green hill zone look. I said it before, Colors for the DS looks a lot better.

    Also seems to be as boring as Sonic 4. The return to classic 2D Sonic seemly everyone wants is very boring.

    I too ran into a few enemies because i couldn't see them good enough, but overall the game is pretty much like a sonic game should be. The levels seemd to get shorter, which sucks and i wish there was an end boss aswell ><

    Hope he continues to make this game :/ fucking sega.

    As for that 2nd fangame, jumping mid-air and from the looks of it, heavier focus on fights isn't realy sonic-ish imo. Game still looks like it could be fun, but that guy should just make up a different charakter, removing sonic from the name and avoid the problems with sega.

    This is where copyright laws fail. Companys just sitting on their licenses, doing nothing (or just crap), preventing any of the good designers/creators to give the fans what they realy want. They are just butthurt and fear that they could miss money instead of getting to work or being proud that their creation gets this level of fan-support.

    Sonic 4 is exactly what people wanted(that was the entire hype vehicle of it) and it was released very close to when this game was. So basically, no.

    After trying the demo it's not too bad, a bit laggy (though this could be blamed on my computer), and the controller config could use a lot of work since it doesn't seem to respond to my PS2 controller's analog or D-Pad.
