The PC tech demo can be had here. It's three separate and extremely small scenes that just about run on a three-month-old PC that cost £300 three months ago and has an Intel E8200 inside it and whatever Dell is using for free graphics cards these days.
That image right there is what turned it around. Very nice. We still give it six months before the team falls apart amid acrimony and the project is binned, though. No one will want to "do" all of Metropolis Zone in their spare time for free.
A site about games and game paraphernalia and how nothing's as good as we remember it, probably because we used to inhabit a FANTASY WORLD.

It came with the template. Maybe in 2014 we'll jump on board the Twitter train and put that in here. Or a radio. That'd be nice.
Last time I played Sonic, I didn't think "Oh God, I wish this was in HD". I don't understand the point of this at all.
I guarantee after 5 minutes of playing this new oh-so-important hi-res version, it will dawn on the 23 people that downloaded it that it's THE SAME GAME they played 16 years ago.
And if they're going to make it HD, they need to add some texture. It looks like everything's made of plastic.
2) They're now just busy trying to make it HD. They aren't finished, which is why the floating platform is pixelated yet. Once they're done doing that part, they'll jump into texturing and such.
You can bet that some fucking spanner WILL have the spare time to do this for free.
As long as it shames them into doing it themselves- and do it properly, whilst not evoking the vile memory of Sonic Genesis on the GBA- I'm fine with that.
Street Fighter II in HD will suffer the same fate, despite having tons of money and talent behind it which Sonic 2 HD will never see.
No good can come of this. It'll only damage the magic of the original games.
It's a tech demo, not the first level...
If "they" want to make it for free then I say all power to them... People complaining about this is very strange to me. If you don't care then how will it affect you? Play the original games and be happy. I just wish Sega would do something with original Sonic gameplay instead of trying to make it "work" in 3D.
Thanks for the coverage, Zorg. This project needs all the help it can get.
Why must people do this rubbish, it's like defacing a classic peice of art because you think you can draw better than Picasso now, or whatever.
I actuallY used to do that with cardboard cut-outs when I was a child.
Back when I still had an imagination.

Got games, tv listings, imdb, quotes and...oh....cunts.
Yep.. too true. And only now, at the tail end of 2008 have we realised that Streetfighter 4 in all its 2D glory is the way forward, rather than 3D bollocks like Tekken (sorry, 3D *Sony* bollocks like Tekken) that we were drip-fed a decade ago...
Why make a HD sonic? Hmm, because they can and it'd look nice? :)
The ones complaining about the looks, its in pre-alpha stage for fucks sake ;) give it time
I really hope it gets finished and look forward to playing it. Best of luck
