Even though it's not likely either, I hope they fix the dialogue in cutscenes. "Hey, it's not his speed, he must be usiMY NAME IS SHADOWing the chaos emeralds to warp."

This was actually intentional, I believe.

3. Get rid of the SOAP shoes

Get out. Get out now.

I want my SA2 shoes avatar prop dammit

Holy crap I never even though about that, Avatar items, but what to have, a "prop" and you snap your fingers and jump into soap shoes and then grind a rain for a few seconds, or just regular Sonic Soaps to wear all the time?

I'd part with points easy if my avatar could get a Tails or Eggman mech to ride in, or some Chao's, or a dash pannel, that when I step on it it throws me on my ass XD

Concerning the dialogue, I think it was partly intentional and partly due to laziness. It seems like the English translations they recorded were too lengthy, so they had to make the lines overlap so it would fit with the visuals...That said, there's no reason for some of the dialouge fail, such as Sonic's "I'll use you-! Chaos Control!" in the fight against Shadow. The complete line, which is "I'll use your chaos control!" can be found in the audio files of the game.

The overlapping audio happens if you use the Japanese voices as well, but I've only tried this with US versions of the game. It may not happen in the Japanese versions, but I haven't bothered to check.

I totally second what the poster above me just said! EDIT : DANGIT I GOT NINJA'D AGAIN. Anyway, what Ell678 said.

I'll say again what I said the last time the idea of this was brought up - they might be able to do this and make some money out of it, but the better question is whether they should. Sonic is only just clawing his way out of the last few years of bad games with titles like Colours & Generations - the last thing the brand needs right now is a reminder of worse times like 06, Heroes, and arguably where this trend started, Sonic Adventure 2.

Considering the fact that SEGA just recently not only re-released Sonic Heroes, but the worst turd port of it, (PS2) a downloadable version of SA2 couldn't do Sonic's new face much harm compared to how broken and flaky the former was. I just hope the devs don't get too lazy and put borders around the screen like they did with the recent SA1 port. *shudders*

The multi-player was what made this game shine, imo. The only way I could ever tolerate Knuckles and Tails gameplay was if it were on 2P mode. I'm really looking forward to the online matches if this rumor turns out to be true.

Visual wise, I hope they keep a consistent model. On SA2B, Sonic's 2P intro would be the Cube model, then throughout the race, it'd switch to the Dreamcast model for no reason. I hope they fix that. I wish all the character models were the Generations models, but we all know that's not happening.

Totally agree with the multiplayer. Tails-style matches were meh, but finding emerald shards before your friend/sibling was a good, quick thrill. That, and I loved playing as Tikal. <3

Didn't know that about the clever model-switch though! Maybe their higher-poly character models slowed the frame-rate down a tad? If that's the case, I would prefer 60FPS over 30 like it was in the DC version.

You mean the amazing rap tunes, right? Best Funniest part of the game, bar none.

After read the lyrics that W.A.C just posted, holy crap that's hilarious. xD Now I can see what the "mild lyrics" in the ESRB's E Rating was all about too. Sure would be nice if a volume bar for vocals was added to the sound options, though, I'd still want to turn it down!

Considering the title on the list is "Sonic Adventure 2" and not mentioning Battle of any kind, it can only be really assumed well that the Battle element will most likely come as a DLC, and at that a Local DLC (I.e. no multiplayer over Live / PSN)

Though I could be wrong about the last part, I'd bet money that they will do as OL said, what they did with SA:DX, and simply add the :battle on with a new title screen for DLC and lame achievements or something.

[Dark Sonic]

Eh would they stoop that low as to make you pay for multiplayer in a Sonic game? It's not CoD we're talking about here. It's Sonic.

And seeing as how that was all that was different from SA2 to SA2B, I'm thinking it sounds more like they just got rid of the Battle subtitle.

on the subject of Pumpkin Hill, I remember a hilarious flash animation that existed back in 2006 on either Retro or SSRG, it was pretty much a flash video for pumpkin hill but it had a hilarious part for "I searched and I searched as I climbed up the wall" where Knuckles is climbing up the album art for Pink Floyd's the wall. Would be amazing if anyone had a link to it or a copy of it. :P

Man, without the lyrics I don't think I could have stood the spend-a-whole-half-hour-at-a-time-finding-shit to begin with. The music as instrumentals isn't bad but I can't play it for a half hour on its own without it getting old fast. Shit was really repetitive.

I want this port to feature longer track loops from SA2's OST CD, just as the Sonic CD 2011 port did for both its soundtracks (namely the Sonic Boom album that the American one used for longer mixes, and those SNCBNK bridges for the international).

Also, a redone camera system would be nice.

Oh and Sega, I hope you have not outsourced this project to China. They have apparently done a very terrible programming job on Sonic 2006 and the 2010 SADX port (which I can't recall another source for the latter, but I know I read about it somewhere).

Damn. That flash movie must be really obscure since I can't find it on Newgrounds or YouTube. There's also no mentioning of it on Tumblr. [LINK]

[Krigo]

I remember it was on putfile or something at the time, it was really obscure. Never had any luck in finding it again and it's a shame, it wasn't the best animated thing ever but it was so god damn hilarious.

I found the title of it 'Pumpkin in the Alley 61' but I can't find it anywhere other than on putfile which is now dead sadly and web.archive.org doesn't want to help.

EDIT: Holy crap, I found it swfchan.com/4/17622/?Pumpkin_In_The_Alley.swf

If SA2 was re-re-released, would SEGA need some sort of re-licence from SOAP to use the shoes or would they simply use the generic Sonic buckle shoes?

Speaking of which I know the Sonic shoes were the "customised" Scorch/Nitro model but was Shadow's shoes based off any of the models and are the models still available? (preferably for the UK)

SOAP was bought and absorbed by Heely's so I don't know how the licensing would work. There's probably no issue at all, since Shadow's shoes are based on the Broadside model, and have remained unchanged to this day.

I'd be good with Sonic's shoes to wear all the time. Especially since they just made that awesome special stage thing for Sonic 4 episode 2.

Last I checked, it was "I'll use your technique! CHAOS CONTROL!"

Well, I'll never think of the line "I can sense it in my feet" the same way ever again. >_> That was pretty damn funny.

Derp, that's what it really is, yeah. Also, I'm sure Battle would come as dlc. Both versions have multiplayer, but SA2 Battle adds more levels, and maybe even more modes. SA2 Battle also comes with Chao Karate.
