Sonic 2 HD Is Cancelled

Before jumping to early conclusions, no. SEGA did not send a C&D message to Team S2HD. According to the official statement that was posted on Sonic 2 HD’s Facebook page, the project is cancelled because the team’s lead programmer has not provided them with any DRM-free version of S2HD and because he hasn’t communicated with them since the release of Sonic 2 HD Alpha. Moreover,  the lead programmer kept the source code for himself, making it impossible to the coded source material to be updated or used as a base for newer builds. Add to this that two key staff members that were chiefly responsible for the many animations, spritework, and overall polish seen in the demo have resigned from the project and you get the whole picture. Sadly, Sonic 2 HD is officially cancelled. Continue reading Sonic 2 HD Is Cancelled
