Glad you enjoyed the video! (What the - I just noticed your name displayed here is different than on your channel) Didn't notice you were the creator of the mod at first lol! I been waiting forever to finally be able to play Free Riders. :)
This feels abit surreal, it's like one of those dreams you think would never come true but then it pops out of nowhere! This was my first time ever playing Free Riders, got to say I had a blast. I will never understand why SEGA didn't do this, way better remake than Colors Ultimate.. lol
How did you get the game to run at higher resolutions? I havent been able to test free riders yet but on other games editing the resolution in the Xenia config causes graphical glitches
On the other hand, I know a lot of people were disappointed by Colors Ultimate but, as someone who never played the original Colors, I would say that it's a decent remaster
@@TheRebelTitan55 if you played the original colors then you would see how bad ultimate is... the lighting is weird and sonics facial expression is removed
@@sonicovertime I've played those on Citra. Besides Lost World 3DS they are fire. On the other hand Lost World 3DS has the superior Sky Road act 3 and the superior final boss. :d
I like it when modders try to salvage something good from a bad game but all these stages were designed around the unresponsive Kinect controls and thus are devoid of challenge for anyone with precision controls.
0:51 Sonic free riders, man this game was so much fun back then . I wish they made a remastered version of the game . I also like how roger Craig smith as sonic says “ ready Go “ from the start.
I got a Kinect just to play this game and I've deeply regretted it ever since. imo this game has a few issues beyond the control scheme, but at least it's PLAYABLE now.
This was my first sonic riders game since I didn't have the old consoles and it's so good to know that it hasn't been forgotten also nice vid sonic overtime kinda like how p06 recreates 06 this looks so good
I said it before and I'll say it again. This is proof that without the mod, Sonic Free Riders could have been a solid game if Kinect _wasn't_ the only control option and you could play it with a regular controller.
For what it is, it's an amazing mod... but there seems to be a problem with turning, especially for the power class. That's most likely due to the fact that this is a game optimized for the Kinect only lol
This is actually (although not close to being the best Sonic game) one of the great Sonic games I’ve ever played (and it is also not terrible as Sonic Boom games), one of the reasons why I still own it today with Kinect. It’s gameplay, graphics, and features are amazing. I still have trouble with controls though, but got used to it for most of it, and the hover bike control is well controllable as had no problem with it. Nevertheless, the game is fast, just like most of the Sonic games and best Sonic games, while not too fast in the way for too hard in catching up. But one thing I hate about it is the fact that you can’t use Xbox 360 controller for gameplay, one of the features or control options Sega or Sonic team should have added, and make Kinect optional and not required for gameplay sake
Sonic free riders feels more better without using the Kinect it makes the gameplay More perfect and balanced I always prefer playing video games with controllers. 💙🦔💙
Still looking for the day of a Sonic Riders 4, however small that chance is. Not looking forward to a port or remasters, though: I personally feel like every time they do those with Sonic games, they get worse and worse. And when they do work, there's a sense something's missing.
See if Sega built this game with a option to play with a controller scheme and not just the Connect this sub-series might still be alive. I miss the Sonic Riders Series!
Literally this is all sega had to do. Allow the option for players to use a controller over the fundamentally broken kinect. If they just did that we might have got more riders games.
The IA in this game was so nerfed, just look how much difference you make with them, not that you cant do it in the other 2 games but here is way quicker compared to the other ones, they really messed up the game with the Kinect
As solid as the controls might be with the mod the level design is literally so empty and boring because it was made for you to only use the motion controls. So it's still mediocre game at best, but that's just my opinion
Even with this change still won’t change anything I still think it’s the worst game in history at least 06 can play with a controller despite the flaws that I completely understand. Why would Sega make this as a stupid Kinect game until this very day and made a mod for the controller option they could’ve just done it from before but they just rushed it along with other bad 3D modern games Generations Isn’t that bad in my opinion played the demo on Xbox 360 and it was a blast you’re rather be playing Ring fit over this game and call it a day no question !
Thank you for creating a video about No Kinect Patch for Sonic Free Riders!

Because Colors was praised unlike Free Riders. And btw, Colors wasn't remade, it was REMASTERED

Time to finally play the one Sonic game I never got to play.
Same here, I think at this point the only Sonic games I never played yet are the 3DS titles.

Yeah these stages are really easy compared with the other Riders Games but it's fun and have really cool themes
PD: I'm don't speak english
That makes me think if this would work better with a VR Mod
You would have precise controls, but still have to move your body to play it
At least it now opens up the possibility for more mods, they probably didn't want to bother with this game beforehand because of needing Kinect.
yes, imagine a mod like Sonic Riders DX or Sonic Riders Regravified but for Sonic Free Riders that would be awesome
Sad but tru. Hopefully we can get some cool stage mods or fan made courses someday
0:51 Sonic free riders, man this game was so much fun back then . I wish they made a remastered version of the game . I also like how roger Craig smith as sonic says “ ready Go “ from the start.
Free riders is like the least talked about sonic game and it's insane how much work went to it aswell
because the game was originally on the insufferable Kinect
I just want to know how to patch the game onto 360 without kinect controls.
Your outstanding gameplay skills always show off what these fangames have to offer.
This one is technically a mod, of an official game. Thanks though. ;p
The graphics look nice, the gameplay as well my dude.
I got a Kinect just to play this game and I've deeply regretted it ever since.
imo this game has a few issues beyond the control scheme, but at least it's PLAYABLE now.
This is literally every Riders fans dream
This was my first sonic riders game since I didn't have the old consoles and it's so good to know that it hasn't been forgotten also nice vid sonic overtime kinda like how p06 recreates 06 this looks so good
How did you get the game to run in 4K perfectly? What settings did you use?
I said it before and I'll say it again. This is proof that without the mod, Sonic Free Riders could have been a solid game if Kinect _wasn't_ the only control option and you could play it with a regular controller.
THE GRAPHICS LOOKS SO GOOD
I wish I could play this, it looks so good now
My back will never recover from this game, was fun tho.
Thanks for playing!
This further proves that sonic team doesnt have bad ideas, just bad excecutions
Love sonic riders series
For what it is, it's an amazing mod... but there seems to be a problem with turning, especially for the power class. That's most likely due to the fact that this is a game optimized for the Kinect only lol
I have a reason to play this game now
This is amazing!

And here I thought Sonic can’t swim
I saw them working on this in 22 but never expected such fast results. They're were adamant too, just play this game. 😮
So you're aware, you do want to use the handle in the minecart when going around turns
Oh nice! I'll remember that when I do online races later this week. There's probably alot of small things I don't know about the game yet.
Nice one! This is really peak
That was W and good I remember old Sonic riders
Such a simple thing that made this game more enjoyable. O7 to the modders to save another sega abandoned sonic games
I remember the first time I played this on my cousin's Xbox, we had no idea how to start the game
Sonic free riders feels more better without using the Kinect it makes the gameplay More perfect and balanced I always prefer playing video games with controllers. 💙🦔💙
This is a miracle 😃💙
The game is now good with this cool game update

Now that you can actually PLAY the game, I may actually revisit it again at some point.
Collab coming soon you guys :D
Heck yea, online Free Riders!
Yoooo really??? Awesome!
The one sonic riders game I haven't played yet
How did you emulate it at 4K? It gives me a flickering screen when I do that, I have a rtx 3070ti and ryzen 7 5800x.
*So Awesome*
nice gameplay
If only they gave us a sequel or remastered it with the from every game they could aim to rival Mario kart
The Riders saga died with this game. Plus, Mario Kart doesn't have nor will ever have rivals
1:18 Sonic you lied to me for my entire life.
But why sir? Ah yes Sonic doesn't like swimming right
Oh nooo, I forgot it was Roger in this one, welp, back to Riders TE
I need help with a quick thing, so when I play metal city it looks extremely glitched out, any help?
I’m happy that the game is playable now, but idk the game kinda feel boring abit, a lot of long roads with not much to do.
See if Sega built this game with a option to play with a controller scheme and not just the Connect this sub-series might still be alive.
I miss the Sonic Riders Series!
Somebody give a description of the controls: What does what and what can't you do?
Hooray! I don't need the stinkiest motion controls in existance!
They really need to do remakes of the sonic riders games on switch
petition to call this patch "Sonic Free Rider: Diskinected"
We going back on this one
Literally this is all sega had to do. Allow the option for players to use a controller over the fundamentally broken kinect.
If they just did that we might have got more riders games.
Free Riders? Playable?! 😱🤯
is this mod only for pc or does it work on console too?
HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?!?!
Magic
How did you manage to play that with only a controller?
Sega should remaster this for consoles and add online 💯
Yeah, but I bet a lot of people are struggling with how to use the controller or keyboard. A tutorial video about it would be nice.
Time to the modders worked with this fangame
Is this playable in PC emulator or only for modded xbox360 ? I definitely want to try it but I don't have an Xbox
am i able to play this on the steam deck?
Epic
how do u make this graphic
If only they brought back Megalo station normal & expert that’d be cool ❤
🔥🔥🔥💪🎮🖤
A mod for the first Roger Craig Smith Sonic game
So like... Is the control exactly like the other two games?
For the most part it's very similar. The big difference is using the hands with the right stick. Also there's no drifting yet.
@@sonicovertime That's excellent 👍! So happy to see the game getting the right treatment. I gotta try this myself.
Is this actually a remaster? I thought it was just a heavy mod to use a controller
It is a heavy mod using a controller, and the graphics have been enhanced with anti-align and up'd resolution.
Im gonna play this plzz tell me how ??!?!? How can i download this emulator and the patched game
Only Sonic boom remains to be fixed
This legit proves that this was a awesome game all along, it was just the Kinect that ruined it.
Wait pleeeeease tell me this is a legit patch and not just another perfect mod
how i fly??
Type the command /gamemode creative
and how to download this game on pc ?

still a super flawed game, but at least it's playable and preserved
yo
now i wonder, why create a game with boring ass cars (team racing) if we can have this! 🙄
Because cars are cool too

get over it, sonic has been sounding like that since 2010
