sonic 2 HD requirements

[DSANIC]

So I was just trying the new demo of the game... boom low frame rate... went to check the requirements

INTEL CORE I5
GTX 650 1GB
4GB RAM



WHAT THE ACTUAL ♥♥♥♥... IT'S A 2D GAME ;-;

Just because it's 2D doesn't mean it won't be demanding.

The Sonic 2 HD demo doesn't work right for me either (anymore, it worked on my first playthrough). All the music is at like 500% for me with no way to turn it down...

Often game devs think 2D game won't be demanding, so they put all calculations to CPU, because it's easier than using GPU.

the game is actualy demanding... I play at 20~25 fps average... and compared to the 60 I am used it's rly slow

For anyone with the audio issue, go to
C:\Users\[user name]\Documents\SonicOrca
open sonicorca.cfg in a text editor (I don't mean Word, I mean with Editor or something like Notepad++) and change the value at music_volume to 1 (it was at 4503,01 for me so actually 450310% of the normal volume...)

Its due to them vector arts mate. Calculating vectors is more demanding than rasters. See any flash game that uses vector art (most of them) and you'll see what i mean.
