Archaon Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I don't know if this is old news to most people or not, but I stumbled across something interesting today. Apparently, there was a rehashed version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 created for the Sega CD 32X. It was never officially released, but by exploiting some inside connections, one guy was able to get a hold of it and created a Let's Play. First of all, that's pretty awesome. There are various FMV scenes sprinkled throughout the game, and from the looks of it, you can unlock Knuckles and Amy Rose as playable characters. I had no idea this existed. However, while watching the videos, I noticed something else. Here, the LPer goes through the Chemical Plant zone. Listen to the BGM carefully. Sound familiar? Am I completely out of the loop here or have there been some shenanigans going on? Quote
Darth Lime Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Wtf did I just watch? In the middle of the carnage of all the loops, they Baby Muppets is on in the background. WTF. Quote
Thalzon Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Is it possible the game just didn't have music, and this song was picked by the LPer to cover it? Quote
Archaon Posted January 4, 2010 Author Posted January 4, 2010 OK, never mind. I'd only watched about one and a tenth of the videos when I posted this, but upon further investigation, this is completely fake. MY BAD I GUESS. Quote
Darth Lime Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I knew something was up after they showed that Muppets clip in the background. Not to mention the Wilhelm scream. Quote
Archaon Posted January 4, 2010 Author Posted January 4, 2010 I knew something was up after they showed that Muppets clip in the background. Right. If I'd spent five more seconds watching the video I would have seen that, then I'd have realised something was wrong and not posted the thread. Or I'd have posted it pretending that it was real when I knew it wasn't. EITHER WAY I'D HAVE SAVED MYSELF A LOT OF EMBARRASSMENT REALLY. Still, as far as the first video goes, it's not a bad hoax. EDIT: You know, on second thought, this would have been a lot more entertaining if I'd just rolled with it and continued to act like it was genuine. Remind me not to make any more threads at five in the morning. Quote

Huh, I was suspecting BS after seeing the title screen "screenshot" with photo shopped clouds, retarded mismatched fonts, and a sudden collision of 32 and 8-bit color depths. ...Just rubbing it in Quote
lazygecko Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Boss music is from Jets n Guns. There actually was a CD version of Sonic 2 planned, which turned into Sonic CD. The time travel mechanic was meant for Sonic 2 on Sega CD, and I read that some assets that made it into the final game like Hill Top Zone was actually a past version of Emerald Hill early in development.

Xenon Odyssey Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 You could have picked up on the "E" for Everyone, since the ESRB first started using that in 1998. Quote
Maco70 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I was excited until I saw the actual site. Wasn't there a fan project for a upgraded sonic 2? Quote
The Pezman Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Wasn't there a fan project for a upgraded sonic 2? Guess what came up while watching the BS videos? Quote
Arek the Absolute Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Hahah, hearing that you fell for that really made me smile. Don't worry, I thought it existed until I watched the muppet part as well. Speaking of Sonic 2, I for some reason just cannot get into the game like so many others have. I see my friends so in love with this, and I just don't get why. I get bored with it so fast. I suppose Sonic 3 spoiled me too much. Quote

Funny that you say that, I bought it on wii shop thinking I would be all about it but I've never put in the time to beat it because it wasn't that interesting to me. Quote

AMT Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 This same guy did a super relaxing LP of Sonic 1 that's pretty much amazing. Check it out: http://www.viddler.com/explore/Docfuture/videos/28/ Quote
