A lot of people have asked for a long time now about redoing cutscenes.
Short answer is no and I won’t work on anything that isn’t going to work & waste my time.

Long answer: The new Egg Quarters intro you saw on Twitter a while back broke the character rendering, so I had to cut things out for the in-game version of this intro. It works, but the game dips to 40 FPS due to animation data limits. If any of you guys think proper cutscenes are gonna work, y’all tripping 😂 💀

MSA2 is only going to affect stages & bosses (including mini events aka the in-game cutscenes, like Egg Quarters’ intro). It's too much for one person & this expectation is inconsiderate (I work on mostly everything you see besides the major programming & new terrain models by Hoppy and help from a few others, like Shaddatic).

I cannot stress enough that modding is a hobby of mine. I do not live on my computer as this is unhealthy, this is just something I do for fun. I suggest everyone thinks a little different when it comes to more extreme parts of game projects. Stop asking creators to do stuff you _expect_ from them. It’s outright disrespectful to hold anyone to unrealistic expectations. If we’re not doing something, there’s a _very_ good reason for it to not be done.

This community needs to reconsider how to approach game/mod development. Most of you don’t understand how this works and that results in outlandish expectations on developers, which I don’t think a lot of people realise this drives people away from doing cool stuff with Sonic.

With that said, we’ll see you all at Sonic Hacking Contest 2024 👀

"FOLLOW MY RAINBOW"
*rainbow appears*

[BigPenstroker]

What i love most about adventure is that sonic actually runs, he doesnt just start gliding across the ground. Its like the modern era is afraid of sonic looking a little silly when in actuality thanks to this mod you can see just how cool modern sonic looks when you let him move so abruptly. Even shadow likks like hes actually going fast when he hits his top speeds. Tldr it's cool af to see sonic and shadow actually move fast in their animations

[cookieblobber]

I appreciate the detail of City Escape slowly turning sunset to fit with the Shadow confrontation being in the night

[dotaniima]

I'll never forgive Sonic Team for not just lettings the quills have physics while sonic runs, it adds such an insane amount of character.

[funnyusername]

HE FIXED THE VOICE LINES IN CITY ESCAPE ENDING RIGHT BEFORE THE LYRICS KICK IN LETS

[PROTOBLUES]

I had the biggest goofiest smile watching you do tricks through city escape.
This was my first sonic game and seeing it like this, with expressive animations and an overwhelming amount of charm brings me nothing but pure joy.

Keep up the good work

[TheSydneyLad]

I love what you've done with Sonic's design. The attention to Sonic's quills flapping the air is great, and the new shortcuts are awesome.

[samanthayote]

As a young girl who grew up with Sonic Adventure 2, when I heard them say they were remaking it for PS3/Xbox360, this is what I imagined it would be like.
You have done what the entire Sonic Team could not do, and made Sonic Adventure 2 look as fantastic as it could have been looking for years, and I am HERE for it. I loved literally everything I saw in this video. New paths to take? New audio? The SOUND MIXING got fixed?! Shadow! With the Bounce Bracelet!


I've been wanting something like this for twenty years. And now, you're working on providing it for so many people, just like me. I don't care how long this takes to come to fruition - I am 100% going to play the hell out of this, as soon as it drops.

[InvaderTan]

That aggressive bouncing down the stairs on city escape was hilarious! I've done that many times myself on this game to try and quickly get back on the rails. XD

[naturalnova]

i said this before on twitter, but i have to say it agian, this may be my favourite 3d model of sonic ive EVER seen, it perfectly tranlates my past fav (sa2) into a higher quality, youve paid such close attention to detail- it is genuinely gorgeous, and shadow is the same, just so gorgeous, i also love the level tweaks so much! well done to the entire team you all should be very proud

[idunno]

That Live and Learn remix for the title screen is downright GODLY

[e.ggamerguy]

Who needs SA2 remastered when you have THIS?

[Theblueblur-fbgu]

Why does the sonic model here look better than the official one sega has been using for almost 15 years now you know what everyone here looks great.they don't call me sonic for nothing 👍 edit thanks for the likes guys!

[Shady_Fungus]

Oh the fluid animation on how he moves is beautiful.

[Gamebeastie]

Love the rainbow clipping into reality on cue with the music. It's magic within the jank that makes this a true sonic game

[Mega_]

I like how people outside the fandom say we’re lazy but this is proof we’re not

[mikecicciari]

the aggressive bouncing to get back on the rail was the most accurate part of the remake :P

[aidanshowers]

From amping up the speed, to expanding the levels, to give sonic and shadow actually good running animations. This mod is so good, hats off to everyone whose working on it.

[KayyVEVO]

Glad to see you notched down the speed a lil bit, although it was fun with the faster Sonic & Shadow; it sadly does break the stages and make some annoying to try and get quicker times with due to constantly running off things.
