What is and Isn’t to Come from Anticipated SFG
While a lot of praise has been given far and wide for Sonic Fan Remix, there hasn’t been a ton of discussion as to the next big step after the demo release last week.
Enter Brazilian based website Finalboss, which scored the first post-demo interview with the game’s principal creator Pelikan13. Released in Portuguese, there are a few details worth knowing right off the bat; for one, he hasn’t received any legal threat of any kind from Sega. The demo release’s timing to Sonic 4‘s release is also coincidental, in his words.
Regarding the game, Pelikan13 says Tails will be a part of the finished product, as will classic power-up monitors. Recreation of a special stage format is possible but don’t expect a versus mode of any kind–in particular Sonic 2′s–as Pelikan13 says this will be a mix of stages from an array of classic Sonic titles.
“I plan to include a lot of things,” said Pelikan13 regarding homages to the classics. That includes Super Sonic, which is planning for the final release. The whale seen crashing through one of Emerald Hill’s stages in the demo was a deliberate call back to Sonic Adventure, the creator explained.
The interview can be read in full at the second link cited above.

I still prefer the real thing rather then fangames. Do any of the people who make these fangames realize that hacking and emulation is illegal? People would get in trouble (or get cease and desist) letters for making that stuff. You better be careful.
At least it’s good to know that Tails is still getting positive reception. I hate it when people on GamesRadar and all those sites think Tails is annoying and put him in their “Top 10 most annoying characters” lists. That is unfair, because Tails happens to be one of my favorite (if not, most favorite) Sonic characters. Shame that Shadow stole his spot as the second most popular character in the series after Sonic himself.
Someone HAS TO TRANSLATE THIS. More information on Fan Remix, the better. But from what’s already been said on Retro, he plans on including levels from Sonic 1-3(&Knuckles, I do believe).
If that game doesn’t have a single Sonic CD level in it, then we must encourage him with our resounding voice. Let us see HD Stardust Speedway with funky action and super momentum based speedy racing.

Actually it´s not illegal as long as you don´t make a profit. Here there are even commercial parodies of Dragon Ball (Dragon Fall) or One Piece (Two Pieces) and they don´t seem to pay or be related with the original authors.
In fact, there are already more than a thousand fan games and hacks about Sonic in the web. None of them have been ceased ever. You can always be a moron and try to pursue them, but it´s more a method to bring fear than a real legal case.
I want to play this game…but I don’t know what to do after downloading it..I’m really bad with computers lol
@ GREG
I am able to translate if you post what was said in the Interview here. I cannot visit that link because it’s blocked here at work. But portuguese is my mother tongue, so I can translate, no problem.
@Vulpine its not illegal if they do not sale it right now its perfectly fine
