Sonic 1 remade in 3D by fans

Yes, you read the headline correctly, but unfortunately it is not what it seems. Someone on YouTube has uploaded a video that appears to be a preview for a fanmade 3D remake of Sonic 1, but it is in fact just a CG movie.

The video is entitled "Sonic HD", and looks as though it was based on that "real life" Sonic fanart from last year. Both the video and the picture have the same mistakes, such as enemies from Emerald Hill rather than Green Hill. Exclusive to the video, however, is the "lost rings" noise whenever you collect rings.

"Real life" Green Hill Zone.

The graphics are rather impressive, until Sonic appears on the screen. It is quite possibly the worst Sonic model I have ever seen, and is even uglier than the Sonic Heroes render. He should join that list of "Gormless Sonics" I posted a while back.

ARGH!

Here is a translation of the video's description, courtesy of Sonic Retro:

"Video TEASER of a make-believe HD Sonic game created by fans of the blue hedgehog. What do you think?"

Judging by the comments, people don't think it is very good:

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"

"That Sonic is giving me nightmares."

"You... really need a better model for Sonic."

It looks like the only way you'll ever be able to play Green Hill in 3D is by unlocking it in Sonic Adventure 2. Oh well...
