Metal Harbor - Unreal Engine 5 Fan Remake | Sonic Adventure 2

Back again with another stage remake to mix things up haha :)!

No original Sonic Adventure 2 stage geometry was used in this recreation, the level was recreated from reference footage and scaled to Sonic's modern speeds.

I was actually surprised when I saw gameplay. I've seen so many "remake" videos then it's just showing the place and there's actually no game.

The skydive onto a beach is a very nice adaptation, especially given the limitations. Clever.

I like the touch of Sonic landing on the island itself instead of going down that snowboarding segment. Makes more sense to visibly escape into the jungle than still be in the middle of the military zone

The aircraft carriers actually look like aircraft carriers. This is groundbreaking.

Usually when I see these remake videos from various channels, the end product has super high fidelity but doesn't match the aesthetic or general style of the original game at all. But I genuinely feel like this captures a lot of the essence of the original Metal Harbor and ups the fidelity without just looking like a throwaway test environment; I can't really explain why, but I could see an SA2 remake looking somewhat like this. It's not perfectly similar of course, which I assume is a very tall task and I have no idea what kinda work goes into that, but you did an amazing job!

Having sonic land on the island is such a nice addition

I like the idea of the final section being a skydiving section instead of the board.

Lots of people praising this, and to an extent, I agree in regards to visual fidelity. However, the camera gives me an actual headache. There's a reason why the camera doesn't follow Sonic everywhere in SA2, and this example shows why, it's too janky. Everytime Sonic runs on a slight angle, the camera shifts that angle as well, it's very jarring. I'm sure with more work, you can get it better looking.

The sky dive to the beach surronded by trees is amazing. It can lead straight to Sonic vs Shadow boss fight then the green forest. Perfect set up

a unreal proof of concept that actually looks good.

Proves how badly we need a sonic adventure 3!

Fan projects are so amazing. Majority of these companies don't need lots of money. Just passion.

The point in the sound track just before Metal Harbor kicks in…chills!

[zoreander]

This feels like what Sonic 06 wanted to be

[zerocal]

Been a Sonic fan since like 92. This is just fantastic, thank you! 🙏🙏

[SilverAura]

This is some authentic looking gameplay too. I'm impressed.

Sorry man... 3rd comment in a row across your vids. Tremendous work! I know its a small thing, but I absolutely love the metalic "clink" when you hit opponents- makes it that much more believable. Loving your work man, and I can't wait for the demo! I know it would be harder, but you giving the entirety of the first SA that you gave to the Perfect Chaos fight would be a dream come true for me. Love 2, but LOVE 1. Thanks again!

Crashing into the box shouldn't have upset my soul the way it did 😅. Great nostalgia. Thank you!

[Pedro-xsbo]

Absolutely perfect adaptation. We must make this happen! Congrats!!!
