Sonic The Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis, was one of the most important releases of the 16-bit era. Sega's future would depend for a great deal on the success of this game.
In this video we discuss the complete production process:
-The pioneering techniques that were used
-The original time travel concept
-Scrapped zones like Hidden Palace zone, Woodzone and Dusthill zone
-And the bold marketing campaign and global launch called Sonic 2sday

How much time did you put into all the CG art for this video? It's incredibly impressive!!! Absolutely stellar work Sir! But I never noticed that Sonic 1 had a ray traced CG look, Sega had a bit of an obsession with that look for a while, shame they didn't do more with it, as it's a severely underused style.

I clearly remember a bunch of Sonic 2 "Are you up 2 it?" posters that were plastered on an abandoned building in Hartford, CT. where we could clearly see them from even our school windows. XD That marketing for that game was insane at the time! But loved every minute of it...and then questioned where's missing zones! Think that and Mario 3 was my first real questioning of cut content in a game. ^_^;

Words cannot describe my respect for the time and effort you put into these. As a fellow designer and videographer, your work is not only brilliant but inspiring. Thank you for putting the same kind of care into your work as the team behind Sonic 2 did. Kudos.

@trevinodude
@trevinodude 4 года назад
@@segaunited3855 That is why the care that STI put into Sonic 2 is so damn impressive. They had less time than they did making the original, and Sega still cared about making a quality game. Just like how the creator of Splash Wave (this show here on RU-vid) puts a lot of care into the production values of his videos.

Yes, another Splash Wave video. I can't say enough how much these videos are of the best quality. Really good video. In fact, I learned something new in this! I had no idea Sonic 2 originally had time travel planned and I'm a huge nerd when it comes to stuff like that. You need more subs for sure.

@segaunited3855
@segaunited3855 6 лет назад
Sonic 2 honestly is overrated and a bit rough around the edges. Time Constraints in its development led to STI and Sonic Team having to cut corners. It was ambitious, and is still a solid title, but TBH, the game was released 85% Complete. Not 100%.

Thank you for making this video! This brought back so many memories for me. I was waiting in the cold November air for my copy of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I was not disappointed and my friends were absolutely envious. I might have been a huge Sega fanboy, I had (still do) both the Sega Genesis (in '89) and the Snes (in '91). I remember getting Sonic the Hedgehog and an Snes in '91 and having a 16-bit shootout at my house. My friends and I actually gave the games review scores from 1-10 in each area and adding them up for a winner takes all finally (we are doing this again this September when the Sega Genesis mini comes out against the Snes Classic, and Neo Geo Mini for good measure). The Genesis won but barely and brings me to my point.... When Segs brought their A game, Nintendo was forced to do so in kind. We as gamers won the console war by having some amazing games that too this day stand the test if time.

The amount of research done on each title, work put in on EACH video, and the sheer time traveling aesthetic set up is truly remarkable. I feel as though i was a kid sitting in my living room in the 90's watching a late-night commercial. 4.I love your channel man and i wish you great amounts of success to one day make a living off this and say goodbye to your full time.
