    some dance album or summat
    Hahaha, I'd play that, where do I sign up? :B

    Elratauru: If I'm recalling correctly, yours (the mech) looked pretty cool. Is it somewhere on the interweb where I could see it again?

    Quick question:
    Will you release the soundtrack, like an album? With tags and in mp3 format? Would be kinda nice.

    I don't see why not. We haven't really talked about anything like that yet, though.

    When I can would it be possible to have a ps3 port of this game? I would be honoured to work on the port if this was to happen :)

    It wouldn't be Sonic 2 HD if the music wasn't in a lossless format. :)

    Wow, I had no idea this project was still alive. Every time I'd peek in on this sub-forum, I never saw any progress being made, so I assumed it was mostly over. I had no idea that a small group decided to privately take it into their own hands.

    I must say, since all past contributions have been tossed out, I'm quite relieved over my decision to stop contributing to Sonic 2 HD ages ago. I truly wanted to help with this "community" project, but now I'm just glad that I didn't end up wasting more time than I already did.

    Holy crap I would go the distance to do whatever I would need to do in order to play this game on my PS3.

    From a coding standpoint it would eventually be technically possible to have S2HD ported to PS3 given its C++ base, but, and I'll emphasize this: highly unlikely. Like I said recently in this very thread, we don't have devkits for the consoles and we're not about to dig up bootleg versions to tinker with.

    How would you play it beyond having a jail-broken PS3? Obviously you aren't going to run it through Sony to publish it on the store to sell, even if it was free.

    Flac takes up to much space on your mp3 player and the normal human cant tell the difference anyway.

    We'll probably just have a couple versions available if we do have a soundtrack. One would be high quality mp3 and the other would be lossless.

    FLAC soundtrack in 192 khz 24 bit crystallized studio quality with a patented engineering technique passed down from Buddhist monks that have been carefully crafting the sound for a thousand years.

    My entire music collection is 353 GB because of FLAC files. I have some 40-45 minute albums that are about 1.6 GB in size due to DVD or vinyl sound quality. Having the soundtrack in FLAC won't make much of a difference on my machine unless it's 24bit DVD quality or something.

    Does 'letterbox mode' I heard being mentioned before mean cropping the view for smaller screens (keeping art unscaled)?

    EDIT: Wikipedia says no. Oh well, please implement what I said above... :)

    Posting not as someone from SEGA, but rather as a fan, I wanted to personally wish you guys the best of luck with this project.

    While I'm not too familiar with the past life of this project up to now, it does look like a lot of people in the gaming community are looking at this in a pretty positive light. In that regard, it does a good service both for what you guys want to accomplish, and for Sonic as a gaming icon.

    Of course, the most important part now is buckling down and getting it out there. Take your time where you need to - even for as much as many people would like to play it right now, getting it as close to perfect as possible will also make a difference long-term. As was evidenced earlier, just make sure to try and communicate that as soon as possible, if it's going to take a little bit longer than expected. People will forgive you if the end result can live up to (most) expectations. :)

    Good luck!

    Thank you for your kind words of encouragement, Ruby :). To say this project is a 'labour of love' for the S2HD staff would be a major understatement and it is our number one priority to ensure that Sonic 2 HD is as much a joy to play for every and any Sonic fan as it has been for us to create.

    Wow, that is extremely encouraging Ruby, and I know we will all take your words to heart. At times it has been a tough struggle balancing between what the fans think they want, and what we feel is right for the project, because in the end there is such a wide variety of different things that people want from this game, it is inevitable that some people will be unhappy. What is important, though, is that the vast majority of people are very excited and are happy to wait as long as needed to see the game they grew up loving looking as good as ever in the modern age. As Sonic holds a place in all of our hearts on staff, in the end if our passions show through in our work, we have done our jobs.
