SRB2 using Doomsday?

[CCG]

For a while now, I've been aware of the existence of Doomsday, which is an engine built using the original source code of Doom, and other similar first person shooters. Using the engine, they've been able to create 'modernized' versions of Doom, Heretic, and Hexen that use 3D models for the characters as well as better lighting. -Since- this was built off of the source code of the original Doom, would it be possible to create a version of SRB2 that uses Doomsday?

Yes, it probably would be possible to create a version of SRB2 in Doomsday, but the fact that so much effort and work has been put into the Doom Legacy engine; well, let's just say it's highly unlikely STJR will convert this far in the production.

Sweet.

But seriously, why waste 5 years of perfectly good programing, etc?

 

[Pepe]

Because Legacy sucks?

 

[Segmint]

Pepe has a point there.

I though you people wanted a 3D sonic game with the feel of an old 2D sonic game!

With C++, anything is possible! Now go create a port of Halo for every console imaginable. :<

ISN'T THAT ASSEMBLY

Even if you did that, you'd get amazingly horrible results.

NES Halo for example. lolhuh

No! Halo-man!....pac-man, halo-man.
COLLECT TEH PLAZMA GRENAD0RZ, FOO!

Legacy was perfect for our needs in 1998 when this project started. We are not switching source ports now.

If you guys ever make a SRB3 (which I highly doubt will ever happen) you could switch ports.

So basicly, you've put more time in a fangame than SEGA puts in real games?

SEGA needs to take their time.

Considering SEGA craps out a new Sonic game every year, whether it's done or not, I'd say that's a pretty obvious statement. I will remind you, however, that unlike SEGA we aren't exactly doing this full time. SRB2 is older than SA1, but I'd be willing to bet that we're only now getting close to the amount of work spent on an official title, simply because less people are involved and we don't do this from 8-5 on weekdays.
