Incredible Sonic & Knuckles Fan Video Shows Sega How It’s Done

08/26/2010 Written by Mike Hartnett

An absolutely incredible 3D, fan-made remake of Mushroom Hill Zone Act 2, from Sonic & Knuckles, has shown up on the web and it will have Sonic enthusiasts’ jaws on the floor!

The video, having only been on the web for one day, has raked in over 70,000 views thus far, and was created by YouTube user and 3D artist Robert Medina. The 3D modeling is exquisite, Sonic’s rotation and foot movement is CORRECT, and the attention to detail is amazing, especially the rays of light peaking through the trees in the background. This video is absolutely beautiful and represents exactly what gamers have been clamoring to see in the upcoming Sonic 4. But enough jabbering from us, check out the video below!

So far, Sega has taken notice of this on Sonic City Blognik, but what we really want is for the Sonic development team to take notice, because this is exactly what gamers want! Why Sega has failed to nail down the look and feel that many have been asking for is beyond us, but it’s safe to say that all excuses are no longer valid, because we have a perfect example right here. Sega, be a lamb and hire this guy already… we’re serious!

  1. thats pretty funny – its taken a decade and someone who doesn’t even work for them to get it right. What are the chances that sonic 4 will even hold a candle to this?

    That is brilliant. Can’t believe it’s fan made.

  3. That was pretty awesome. I haven’t played any Sonic games since the Genesis days, but that looked good enough to warrent a buy….from THAT guy. Not Sega.

    Now I want Sonic with LBP2 graphics….I wonder if Sonic 4 will be a $15 game, ’cause right now that’s as much I’d pay for Sega’s lazy attempt to exploit nostalgia. But for something like these fans made, in a complete game, I’d happily pay my $60.

    l find it hilarious that Sega with all their resources couldn’t make a good sonic as opposed to these fan made videos that look awesome

    @wtGp

    They actually can, but won’t either because they think the IP isn’t much worth higher costs to make little or not much profit out of it or maybe they just settled for a downloadable title to avoid big publishing/distribution/marketing costs, not to mention the competition present at stores (if a “Sonic remake” game with that much quality were to be made it would definitely be priced $60). I really doubt even really great reviews would make such a game a million seller these days, sadly.
