These mods create an interesting piece of simulacra. While it doesn't look like a saturn game, it ends up being something much more profound. If you suspend your disbelief(ie forget that it's sonic adventure) it really does look and sound like a piece of lost media from the saturn era, yet it's totally impossible for it to have existed. It's sort of like windows 96(musical album) in a sense that it reminds you of something that you don't realize never existed. It also helps that the music actually is from late 90s sega properties and did exist back then.
I know that feeling but I actually did live through most of the 90s. 70s and 80s nostalgia is what throws me for a loop. I was at an old gas station out in the middle of nowhere once that had it's original pumps still working and beside me pulls up this 80s pickup truck with the occupants listening to cat scratch fever. It felt like I went back to a time I never experienced.
Yo I JUST came from your sonic in another timeline video, like literally it was the last video I watched. This addressed my major issue, the poly counts, AND so much more. And! And! It's THIRTY MINUTES LONG. My inner child who didn't get that 3d Saturn sonic game went from hurt, to soothed, to healed in 45 minutes. Silly little sonic TH-cam videos can have a big impact :)
@@LowPoly32Hey, this is really cool but I feel like you should make the the flat surfaces RBG instead of polygonal, as well as make some of the areas flat colors instead of textures, and overall just decrease the texture resolution and color palettes, that would make it a LOT more like a real Saturn game, hope my feedback helps! :3
There’s something about this that gives off such a childlike cartoony vibe, similar to that of Mario 64’s actual early development footage. I don’t know how else to describe it but it just makes the games feel completely different. Like it comes from a time long gone.

I knew these had to be mods. The physics being so accurate to the Dreamcast/GameCube/PC game is just too accurate along with sound effects from Gran Turismo. But nonetheless an interesting concept. I always wondered since finding out Sonic Adventure started out as a Saturn game, what it would have been. Not to mention the CRT video tape filter is a really nice touch.
I love that music was used from Sonic 3D Blast Saturn version. That game has some amazing music. And is actually one of my favorite games. Also the music from Sega Rally. That’s awesome!
This is Sonic X-Treme if Sonic Team had finished it to rival Super Mario 64 and Crash Bandicoot 1 3:13 Note: Big and Gamma do not exist in the classic universe to be exact with the classic era of the Saturn, but i could replace them with Tiara Boobowski and Fang the Sniper for it to make sense in the classic universe if Sonic Team hadn't redesigned all the characters
I am in love with this concept and would love to see a team work on bringing this to reality for the Saturn. Probably needs lower frame rate and shorter draw distance and some animations be replaced with 2D sprites, for example the swirling around Sonic during the spin dash would be much more possible using 2D sprites on the Saturn. The rings would probably also benefit from sprite work. This concept is incredible though!
As a kid I had SA2 on the Gamecube, and I always assumed SA1 was a much older game that probably looked something like this. When I eventually saw SA1, I was surprised that it was so simaler to 2
This just put a thought in my head. If Sonic Adventure WAS originally released on the Sega Saturn in a similar form to this Fake Beta, how much do you think the Saturn would have done better in North America?
I think the saturn would have sold very well just from people wanting to play this game. Heck, I would say that if this game was released, sega would still be making console today. I also think we wouldn't even have a modern sonic if sa1 came out on the saturn possibly.
If you think about it that way, maybe if the "Sega Saturn" had lived a little longer, we would still have gotten something like this, and it's actually a bit of a pity that the "Sonic the hedgehog" games on this console didn't even reveal its full potential. What about the video? It's underrated as hell. These are interesting concepts that deserve a like.
If everything was flat the Saturn could maybe do this. Daytona and Sonic R are good examples of how the limited abilities of saturn in rendering 3d environments more complex than arenas. Maybe the saturn with a 64x add on lol
I actually think this looks better tham the original emerald cosst. The hundreds of different colors. And the chess palette. Add a lot of charm to this..
It reminds me of sonic r alot but I think the og emerald coast still works with the classic asthetic there is emerald hill concept art from sonic 2 that looks exactly the same emerald coast and the proto windy valley looks like a good future and the normal windy valley looks like the present version idk if anyone else thinks that
Sadly no, this is actually Sonic Adventure DX with a few mods to make it look like a sega saturn game. The draw distance is one thing that will make it not work anyway, and SA1DX Is a 64-bit game while the saturn itself is a 32-bit machine.
I love Sonic Adventure, I gotta keep it a buck, this is what Sonic Adventure should've been when it went to Dreamcast (with both the Knuckles & Chaos plot made into a separate Knuckles the Echidna game).
@@misterboogcn1288 It makes perfect sense if you think about it. Sonic Adventure's main campaign isn't written or executed as well as it could've been. Both Sonic's & Knuckles individual stories were basically "Nothing Burgers" without much character development with Knuckles' story being the most disappointing despite him having the closest ties to Chaos. Tails', Amy's, Big's, & Gamma's stories are really good but have so little relevancy to the main campaign. Taking Knuckles , Chaos out & putting them into a separate game simplifies & focuses Sonic Adventure's story while giving Knuckles the chance to shine on his own. In this more focused version of the Sonic Adventure story, Eggman would be the big bad & instead be planing to lead an army of his new E-100 robots (what Gamma is) to take over all of Station Square & remake it into Eggtropolis or something. Everyones story would reletivly remain the same except Big's. One of Eggman's robots kidnaps Froggy to power one of his robots like the other animals & Big goes to rescue him (with actual platforming gameplay instead of just fishing). I do love Sonic Adventure, but this was Sonic's first jump into 3D platforming. The writting needs to be simple when it comes to a character like Sonic. Literally everything else can remain the same without the entire city getting destroyed by a giant water monster, causing thousands of deaths in the process IN A GAME ABOUT A CARTOON HEDGEHOG YOU CAN BASICALLY PUT NEXT TO BUGS BUNNY!

Depends on how much you’re using! If it’s just a small portion, that’s fine. If you want to use the whole video, I’d have to ask that you don’t do that if possible
@@LowPoly32 It would at most be a 2 minute portion, however, I think realistically it would be a 10 second portion looped. It'll be used for a visualizer of a track from the Sonic Adventure OST. If not that's ok, just wanted to at least check!

@@LowPoly32 oh wow so can you actually play? Im on my phone so i doubt it would work but on a computer? And was metal sonic supposed to be in the game? It wouldve made sense but i guess the put the gamma robots instead? If metal and choas teamed up that wouldve been pretty cool but trouble
These are all mods for the steam PC port of Sonic Adventure, so as far as I’m aware they only work on PC and not on mobile (although I have no experience in that area) You can play through the whole game with these mods! And Metal Sonic is actually unlockable in the DX port of the game, so he was intended!
hey, can you please make the sonic adventure saturn edition mod available for download? becaus, the creater of the mod removed all contents to develop the mod much more, im begging pls
i would buy it. if i hadn't noticed the shadows, some may say why the shadows? well the saturn can't image shadows so they used to use these pixel things under models
It’s a ReShade filter! The one I used here is called VHSPro.fx and I combined it with the Pseudo Saturn shader found in this pack: gamebanana.com/mods/334935

The Gran Turismo sound effects match the vibe of this game so well. Good video. 🙏
Damn. Windy valley had a very interesting level design. One of the first levels that comes to my mind when I think of redesigning sonic.
The music, CLASSIC. The menu, CLASSIC. The stages?! CLASSIC.
The Sonic? CLASSIC.😂

So close! Now reduce the draw distance by 1 million percent and we will be looking at something akin to the actual Saturn beta lol
The character select theme is so groovy!
That draw distance and frame rate is too good for a Saturn game.
Yeah, I know! As stated in the description, it’s not perfect. Was just having some fun here
@@LowPoly32 don’t get me wrong… I love it and wish it were real. I’m a Saturn diehard.
god these are all so good! I cant believe these are all just mods.

I reccomend you lowering the poly of the stages, and sizing up the hud
1:05 he went super sonic
Saturn could only dream of this kind of graphics, lol
As a kid I had SA2 on the Gamecube, and I always assumed SA1 was a much older game that probably looked something like this. When I eventually saw SA1, I was surprised that it was so simaler to 2
I think this graphic would have been achievable if sega saturn had a boost console like 64x
Amazing! I'm flooded now with fake nostalgia xD
The ice cap music sounds so beautiful

@@FoxiiFoxii128 yeah that's fair. Still an impressive look at how it could have looked give or take draw-distance
