Something tells me it might be real. Sega claimed that the beta ran at 60 fps, but I don't think there were any TVs or Sega Genesis systems back then that could actually run a game at a full 60 fps, hence why this build runs a lot slower than what Sega claims.

All American, Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese Mega Drives and televisions run at 60fps — "NTSC".

so obviously fake it's barely worth anyone speculating.

Fake.

Sonic 2 running sprites, wrong "buildings", wrong clouds, etc.

They don't look like S2's running sprites.

Obviously that no. Sonic 2 sprites has different shading, different sprite size among other different details I didn't noticed in the video.

Something seems off about the jump, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Also, as saxman said, the timing with the past thread. We're getting trolled people :P

Didn't Sonic shoes lack the white stripe in the beta? They are clearly on those ones in the video.

I can see the stripe there

Whatever it is it is interesting. Hopefullly the hack becomes available if it is a hack. Even just the short level would be nice to play.

I rather doubt that's running on a Genesis; it certainly seems to be a hoax, keeping the speed and sprites in mind, and for a hoax video there's no point in a genuinely impressive technical feat on the Genesis. Modern PC can do this without breaking a sweat, after all!

It feels more floaty.

Well I know one thing, Sonic's individual walking frames are not positioned the same as in the final. In the final, he wobbles backwards and forwards a tiny bit as well.

It would be awesome if Naka aknowledged this as legit, and then it was unveiled that it was really a hoax.

[OSM]

Obviously fake, but it's a good effort for a hack/fan game/whatever.

It doesn't look like a hack to me. It looks like a fan game (like MMF or GameMaker). Chilling to see, but I find it hard to believe there would be buildings overlapping the mountains like that. Yes, it had 7 layers of scrolling, but you have to assume reasonable limitations of the hardware too. The way the camera scrolls also gives me that vibe (although it's not unreasonable for an early prototype camera to work differently). The video also focuses on the prototype graphics (because this person knows we're interested in this and wants to get us excited).

Plus, it seems a bit coincidential that we had a topic asking about a Sonic 1 prototype just days ago. This TheNEK0san joined YouTube yesterday just to upload this one video. Seems like they're trying to trick people. Not that I have a problem with that. But I hope they come out and reveal who they are eventually.

Thank you! You took every single word from my mouth. Saxman's post pretty much sums up everything I was going to say about this hoax. By the way, I have very trained eyes to spot a GameMaker/MMF fan game at kilometers of distance (Mercury being the only person cappable of fooling me ), and I bet all my knowledge that this is running on a pre-made fan game engine.

There is so many things wrong that it even hurts my brain. This hoax is an insult to my intelligence.

And for those who believed this was legit, no comment.

The mountains are not even close to the actual sprites. It makes me sad. :/
