Yeah, I might be starting to prefer S2 also, though I never had a clear preference. Add the extra frames of CD and we may have a winner. Has such a set ever been completely implemented? I know S2RR has the spring jump/fall frames, but not the Peel-Out and such.
Another Fangame thread... Yeap

AHA. Now THIS is Sonic 4 as we truly imagined it. Look at that. That is how you do a Green Hill throwback. By taking two steps back and three steps forward. That is what Green Hill would look like if it were re-imagined for Sonic 4 by the Sonic 3 team. And that model? Spot on. These guys are doing it right graphically, let's hope they can kick Sega's ass in the other departments too.

I'm liking the new updates to the models.
I just found out why Tails' model bothers me: Why is he giving angry eyes? They look like they tilt inward and it looks out of character, and god... not the Sonic 3 pallets, just go with Sonic 2's pallet, and the up-close look just makes me think Tails really needs more red shades in his fur, he's supposed to be orange anyway.
Edit: That grass shadow... What the hell? Looks like someone photoshopped a comic book. >.>

Oh, for God's sake. Tails looks angry? Are you for real? He looks as fucking blank as he did in the Genesis games for crying out loud.

I see the problem. It's not so much angry as it is backwards. The eyes are supposed to slant on the outside, not the inside.

Logic dictates that a Sonic 3 sequel would feature updated Sonic 3 designs, not updated Sonic 2 designs.
But don't tell Sega that.

Ruined, just that quickly. Now I can't look at the model without thinking about the mouth and how unnatural Sonic looks without one. That was the one thing he should've left alone at all costs.
SIGH

Some of you guys are miserable. It's no wonder people don't take Sonic fans seriously.

Why the faux-3D look? Why not some hand drawn graphics?
I understand why they did it in the 90s, but come on! That's not even a gimmick anymore!

Yeah pretty much this.
And it's because Tails was originally orange and not Yellow, his sprites were lazy as hell in Sonic 3, they didn't remodel him like Sonic, they just copypasted his Sonic 2 sprites and used a model for the rotate ones which looked really inconsistent, and Sonic 3's Tails is missing a color, the red color, that made him look more orange than brown. Sonic 3's Tails looked more brown, that's why I say to use Sonic 2's pallet, or give him some red shades so he doesn't suffer from the same problem the new Tails does.
I'll get Photoshop when I get home but ATM I don't have access to it. Ir'll make more sense as a picture.

Those sprites look beautiful to me. Like high-res Sonic 3 sprites. Lack of mouth be damned, it's better than him having Shadow-scowl or Sonic 2 HD Cocky Grin. Which I hate.

Sonic's quills look wrong. His face is too big. Something more like this would be ideal:
