Didn't know this was a thing until just now, but I'm pretty hyped. Can't be worse than Boom, right?

I'm so glad that classic Sonic is returning, albeit my favorite one as a kid was whichever one is on the Dreamcast. Either way, I don't have a PS4 so I won't be enjoying this :(

EsoptronThis is definitely a game worthy of hype

They've got Christian Whitehead on the dev team, he's a long-time Sonic romhacker who got his skills recognized by Sega and was commissioned to make a remastered Sonic CD and mobile re-releases of Sonic 1 and 2 a couple years back.

Everyone working on it is a romhack figure head.

The other two teams are Headcannon aka Stealth who worked on Megamix 1 and the iOS/Android ports of Taxman's stuff, and Pagoda West is better known as the team that attempted to do Sonic 2 HD, including their musician who is doing all the music in this - Tee Lopes. You can hear his remixed Sonic 2 music here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GGQPKwKeww

I just found out about Project Sonic 2017 and added the trailer to the OP. Could a mod edit the title to include that as well? ty

If this is a Sonic Generations style of a game it can definitely work. I hope they don't try to innovate that much (like in Lost World and Boom). Maybe make 2D Sonic more faithful to the classics (in terms of physics) and bring back Boost mechanism from Colours/Generations for 3D Sonic.

But hey it's SEGA they will fuck it up somehow

It's a team of about 8 indie guys who worked in the 2D Sonic romhack scene for ages now, Sega has nothing to do with this game except for putting their name and blessing on it pretty much.

As far as knowing what works in 2D Sonic and the physics of it there is not many people on this planet that know more than they do when it comes to the subject.

To put this into perspective, the Sonic CD remaster made in 2011 by Taxman who is one of the guys working on Sonic Mania, was a one man effort where he made an engine, faithfully recreated the physics in the original Sonic CD perfectly, and rebuilt the entire game in his engine after taking all the art/sounds/etc. He didn't port it or emulate it, just remade the entire game, and you really can't tell as there's very few differences (outside of the inclusion of a Sonic 3 moveset Tails) that give it away, like a platform that falls down when it wasn't supposed to, or changed bubble positioning to force you to jump.

Oh okay, yeah no idea aabout Project 2017, I'm miffed about it too. If it's Generations 2 it could be amazing.
