Sonic Adventure 2 Chao Garden in UE 4 is Available for Download

YouTube user CryZENx has created quite a few interesting projects based on Unreal Engine 4 so far, including a recreation of Mario Kart and a DirectX 12 tech demo inspired by his Metroid Prime project and Epic’s Sun Temple Demo. We’ve just stumbled upon one of his most recent projects, which involves an Unreal Engine 4.10 version of the Chao Garden from Sonic Adventure 2. The demo allows the user to control Sonic and explore the picturesque garden, and while there is no dash option, Sonic can still run and jump. Actually, the jumping animation is accompanied by Sonic’s classic sound effect, which is a nice touch.

CryZENx has released a YouTube video in which he shows off the project’s main highlights, but the great news is that you can actually download the tech demo and try it out for yourself. Those of you who appreciate Sonic games will surely get immersed in this impressive tech demo, and even if you won’t get hit by a wave of nostalgia, at least you’ll be able to enjoy some nice visuals during the process. Since we’re on the subject, make sure to tell us what is your favorite Sonic game. I’d have to go with Sonic Heroes.
