- Sonic Frontiers season is upon us and it's time to dive into the catalog of great (or not so great) Sonic games! I decided to begin with the one that started this "Sonic Pilgrimage" here on Retro Rebound. It's the game that forced me to think differently of the franchise and pushed me into uncharted territory as I hopped from game to game. With all the Sonic Adventure energy I'm getting from Frontiers, I couldn't resist diving back in. Was it as lovely as I remember? Let's find out.

This game's cutscenes are one of those cases where it's so unfathomably goofy that it's good.
Yeah. I think a lot of people tend to forget that Sonic Adventure is literally a late 90's cartoony game. A lot of games like it of it's time had goofy cutscenes.
@@Xxandrew01 it wasn't on purpose. its what happened when they ported it from the dreamcast to the gamecube and some things went wrong.
@@insertjokeh3r3hey still looked goofy in cutscene on the Dreamcast. I will say aesthetics and overall graphics once I do prefer Dreamcast
This game was a classic, despite all its glitches and weird lip syncing and all that. It really captured the spirit of adventure, and seeing Sonic in 3d for (basically) the first time was incredible at the time
The Dreamcast version did not have glitches it is the horrendous DX port that is bad
^ Not entirely true. DC version definitely didn’t have as many glitches, but it had its fair share.
Ocarina has WAY more glitches and nobody except weirdos says it's a bad game, I don't know where this stupid notion of a game having glitches means it's bad.
Ever single game has glitches if you look hard enough, and in my opinion, as long as they aren't game breaking glitches have the potential of adding to the game.
@@Glitchy1988 I agree, weird glitches gave old games more character
@@Glitchy1988 when the glitches affect the gameplay, it hurts the quality of the game. if the glitches don't affect the gameplay then people look past it. Sonic Adventure had camera bugs & control glitches that definitely affected the gameplay which is part of the reason why it doesn't hold up as well as Mario 64, which also had bugs, but not nearly as many. Sonic Adventure was rushed & made in 9 months. Mario 64 had a 2-3 year development & it shows. both classics, but one is clearly better than the other... compare Bowser's Fury & Mario Odyssey to Sonic Frontiers... same thing.
My favorite part in SA1 has always been that girl waiting for her dad at the train station, day and night. You can easily start to feel concerned and sorry for her, and then when he finally shows up it's a genuinely wholesome and heart warming thing. It's this tiny little background element you could easily miss, but you feel emotionally rewarded for taking the time to focus on something other than what was necessary. I feel like Sonic games have been sorely missing that kind of thing since this game.
In all honesty, Sonic Adventure 1 is my favorite sonic game and will probably forever be. It's the first time that I've played a game of it's kind and the replayability of this game is so good. This was one of the first games that I got to play on my dreamcast as a kid and I still have vivid memories of spending hours to re-play stages and upgrading my chao garden. It was so ahead of it's time.
The chao garden seemed so random and barely related to the story but still, i loved it
Yea i remember playing the demo when my brother and I got the dreamcast on launch day. I was absolutely mind blown by the graphics and gameplay back then.
@@PrecisionCalcBro getting a Chaos Chao was insane that shit was something to gloat about if you had one. I have a whole garden full on Sonic Adventure 2 battle on my memory card but still it was crazy.
I remember when Sonic Adventure first came out, wasn’t just the gameplay that made it feel next gen. It was also very much the graphics. I’ll never forget freaking out how photo realistic they looked. I know sounds ridiculous now, but ya just had to be there lol
As a kid who moved from Flash Games to N64, and then DIRECTLY into Sonic Adventure... bro, these jumps in graphics gave me backlash even as a 10 year old kid.
I know what you mean. That feeling of pure awe, thinking a game looked so realistic, doesnt exist anymore. Games now look very realistic but i never feel that awe i used to with games from the early 2000s back then
No, the facial animations with real 3D faces.
I got this with the Dreamcast the day it released (9/9/99) at my local Toys R Us. So many good memories. Going from the N64 and PS1 I was absolutely blown away by how good it looked. I still have the game and console.
Take care of that puppy. You're a member of a special privileged group of Dreamcast owners.
I have both as well from back then, unfortunately my Dreamcast doesn’t run games anymore though 😢
WOW i literally played and beat this game for the first time couple days ago! This timing is amazing. Can’t believe i missed out on this gem growing up.
Love to hear it!
Wish I could play it for the first time again. It’s so underrated.
I loved this game when it first came out for the Dreamcast
This, Blue stinger and Toy commander came with my Dreamcast, christmas morning 🤩 Very fond memories.
Toy Comander is underrated.
This game is such a classic to me, sonic controls so great in the adventure games. I hope frontiers nails the perfect blend of precise controls, and also has the speed that the newer games have. I feel like sega is finally listening to the fans and is trying to go back to a more open adventure formula🤘
Can't wait for your review on FRONTIERS
Adventure 1 has always been my favorite. Great main villain. Lots of well executed stages and open world. Most importantly the control of Sonic was top tier.
I played this game a lot on my PC back in the day. Loved every minute of it. Don’t remember what happens to Gemma in the story but I do remember enjoying his story alot as well. My fav to play was Knuckles for sure though.
Given that I've been playing through Sonic Adventure once again on my channel as well, it is a joy to see intelligent content like this. Everything from your analysis of the manual and the box to the way you analyzed the gameplay was spot on. I genuinely feel the same way about this game. I missed when manuals used to have this level of craftsmanship. It was a joy to even spend time reading through them and see all of the character bios. SEGA felt like they truly cared about their characters back then, and heck, maybe even now with Frontiers on the horizon. While I doubt the movement of Frontiers will feel perfect, I am genuinely looking forward to it, but one thing's for sure, I am completely in agreement with you on Sonic Adventure's movement being peak Sonic movement. I literally even used it as an example when analyzing an earlier Sonic Frontiers gameplay preview! I also appreciate the fact that you referenced Sonic P-06's gameplay and movement as well, I love that game too and feature it often. P-06 truly captures what '06's gameplay was trying to do, balancing speed-platforming, combat, and exploration. This was also present in Sonic Adventure, and I truly hope they will capture that balance once again in Sonic Frontiers. Either way, you summarized it perfectly with the notion that games like Sonic Adventure and Sonic P-06 just feel fun to play, and at the end of the day, that's what's most important. I truly hope that SEGA and Sonic Team will start making games with this notion moving forward, but at this point, we can only wait and hope to see if they've managed to accomplish just this in Sonic Frontiers as well.
he did it. he actually did it. he got Shadow the Hedgehog! Oh boy!
I'd love to see a video on you checking out the IDW comics if thats something you'd be interested in, because they are fantastic. I'd also love to see Sonic Battle on Retro Rebound, because while it's gameplay is really repetitive, it's story is the best in the series (at least until Frontiers comes out).
Glad to see you playing it with the Dreamcast mod, I'm itching to do a replay that way!
It's a thing of beauty!
Matty makes it seem like Emerald Coast doesn't come before Windy Valley
I should've mentioned I dipped into trial mode first. I definitely allude to it because I mention how SA1 is very pick up and play to me like P06 is, but yeah, that's why I began with Windy Valley in this video :)
Dude, have you seen the Sonic Frontiers Prologue: Divergence that dropped today? That will have you in your FEELS after playing SA.
Lol on the manual mr.Matty -"it's thick i was pleased by it's girth" me that's what she said. 😂
To me this is the 3d sonic game that beat captures the essence of the 2d titles with how and how fast you finish levels. Really just adds a meatier story to the more traditional sonic experience, the newer games got a lot going on sometimes to their detriment.
the new games are all on rails and more like a simplified crash bandicoot. the 2d sections are also wack. SA1 has the most fun 3d sonic to control even with the jank
GC version of this game was busted. You can't judge SA this way. You have to either experience it on PC with the mod or DC. No exceptions.
As someone that is playing sonic adventure again i so know where your coming from with how sonic adventure feels, everything feels good and snappy aside from the camera!
Yup. Strange too, right? The game is so old that it typically never pans out that way.
You are one of my favourite gaming youtubers atm, just cos how down to earth you are, most youtubers are so obnoxious and almost rude to their viewers if you don't agree with them, and they always so negative, but cos you focus on positivity, I get good vibes, I been thinking of making my own channel more gaming focused and if I do I will follow a similar philosophy to you. You remind me of my mate from school a bit too. Love your vids.
Recently finished this gem for the first time and now im playing sa2 for the first time and man these games hold up pretty damned good imo. The gameplay, worlds, characters and story have aged pretty good from what i experienced. I made sure to play w jp voices though bc man the english voices werent my cup of tea.
Such a fitting video after that amazing Knuckles animated prologue!
The adventure references in that are incredible
Unintentional timing, but happy it worked out that way. I was on vacation when this dropped :)
Am I the only one that loves playing as Big the Cat? All the criticism is definitely fair. I truly love that the gameplay is so different than the other characters.
Sonic Adventure is my favorite Sonic title to date. I've replayed and completed that game over 30 times over the span of life. I know the ins and outs of every level, secrets, speed running skips, etc. But, today I've just learned that knuckles can break the statue in Casinopolis 🤯 Like WHAT?!?!?!?
Great video 👍
Sonic Adventure DX Director's Cut and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle were masterpieces
Big is my fav character, and I love fishing in the game, it's pretty chill
Sonic 3 and Knuckles and Sonic Adventure 1 are the most epic stories in the series for me. Knuckles was at his peak.
Haha great timing I was just playin g this on my Xbox 360 doing the mission content. It was fun and annoying.
Really love the adventure series,1 was my favorite I really wish back than we got a 3 but we never did
The textures and graphics in this game look better than the new Pokémon main series games lmao
"So I gave SONIC ADVENTURE A Second Chance In 2022..."
(Notices that it's the DX version of Sonic Adventure on the Gamecube)
Knuckles: "Oh no."
THAT. VERSION. ISNT. BAD.
@@gamingnubs7628 Yeah lmao. I hate how exaggerated its flaws are. Its fine - better in a lot of ways.
@GamingNubs Nah, it's pretty bad, just not in any obvious way. It's the kind of sneaky bad, where everything is just a *little* bit worse, but not so obviously broken where those not "in the know" just assume that's how the game is supposed to be. And it sucks because these minor hiccups caused by a bad port have tarnished the game's legacy, since the port is the most accessible version.
@@GamingintheAM0801 it isnt bad. There isnt really 1 definitive version that is better than the rest. I could reproduce almost all the bugs I saw in DX on the original DC version. And DX allows you to skip cutscenes which is a GODSENT.
@@GamingintheAM0801 Well the port you're referring to is the PC port of DX, not DX itself. That port I agree is very flawed and breaks tons of what DX already changed.
But DX is a fine version in itself. It did not "tarnish the game's reputation" at all - look at any review and they complain about things that were just as much an issue on Dreamcast as on GameCube.
Bad ports have, to my knowledge, *never* tarnished a good game's reputation. GTA San Andreas on 360, Sonic Colors Ultimate on Switch, all the ports of SNES games onto Game Boy, and all the broken PC ports that Steam is filled with. Despite being more accessible, they haven't ruined their original games' reputation one bit.
I highly recommend playing this on PC with the Dreamcast conversion mods, it's amazing. A lot of the DX glitches didn't even happen on the Dreamcast version. Sonic Adventure is amazing
My mans went from a Sonic hater, to name dropping Ian Flynn when talking about the upcoming game.
What a journey.
This is the best sonic game of all time imo. Lol idk I have so many hrs of this on Pc, if GameCube could have tracked I’m sure I would have an even more ungodly amount I love this game from the music to home screens. 10/10 chaos emeralds, master emerald and super sonic? Cant take these for granted especially in these days, idk as a 19 year old I can say I’m officially nostalgia blind 👍🏻🤣
SA2B was PEAK SONIC GAME
As much as I enjoy Sonic Adventure 1, I do find it humorous that one of the most common compliments that people give the game is how little you have to play it.
Kinda ironic how a game is praise for its lack of... Well, gameplay.
@@SonicHedgehog1991 how do y’all manage to take things out of context in such an exaggerated manner lmao
You should watch the Knuckles Prolog animation up on here on TH-cam.
19:43 it was from a demo there was a demo disc that Sega put out which had several games on it. My step dad borrowed a Sega from a friend of his with the disc to see how interested in video games I would be.
Funny this video came out lol i was just playing the second one for the dark chaos for halloween
Oh man good luck getting a Devil Chao. Those are so insanely time-consuming.
Sonic adventures makes you FEEL like sonic on a adventure lol
Matty gets it with the gameplay
SA2 had the best story and chao garden, but SA1 had the best gameplay.
Well, SONIC gameplay....
I went back to play SA1 and SA2 on pc all over again in preparation for Frontiers and got the opposite impression you got. I remember liking SA1 a lot more but this time i really felt its age, i died a lot in Sonic's campaign due to some scripting sequences going wrong, i couldn't stand some of the cutscenes even though i use to love them back then. i would never hate that game but i might have outgrown it, which makes me sad.
Then I played SA2 and i had the time of my life, i have lots of nostalgia for that game so i tried to look at it with more critical eyes. I installed some quality of life mods like better lighting and sa1 radar for knux and rouge stages and i actually enjoyed those this time around, both campaigns went off really quicky, unlike SA1 where i dreaded some parts. It goes to show how tiny tweaks on both games could do wonders
@The Manual, The JP version of the gamecube version does a have a full colour manual. Just incase you were wondering.
Yeah man I just bought this for a total of $7 instead of $70 to get hyped about the franchise/new game again. Definitely did the trick, especially how there's essentially different ways to play each level through different characters
Hey Matty, you should check out Sonic and the Black Knight. The game is pretty short, but it has a great story and soundtrack. It also marks the end of the “Dark Era” of Sonic and was the last game Jason Griffith was in.
In sa2 in the treasure hunting stages you have to use the hints that's the main point of Sa2's treasure hunting there are three hints per emerald with the 3rd one telling u where it is. Sa2 has upgrades in every stage sa1 only has them in the hub worlds. The 100% completion expieirience of sa2 is better too every stage has 5 missions and their really fun too do. The bosses in sa2 you need to learn how they work and do them. Sa2 really is fun. It's more difficult than sa1 and even with the mech stages the lock on is the fun of sa2 get the a ranks. The stages are fun to master. I really want you to mod the game up cuz there is no dreamcast version update for sa2 so ur playing a butchered port of the game. Sa2 is much longer when going for 100%.
I think sa1 has a lot of fluff in it tbh, I don't like the hub worlds. And most of the characters suck. You should give sa2 another shot
But yea elaborating from earlier if you really like the sonix stages in sa2 try the extra mission like the ring lost Chao time attack and than the hard mode it adds a lot more content to the game if you were feeling its too short. The mech stages are fun when going for the a rank just getting a high lock on and the treasure hunting stages..., remember use the hints it helps a lot (maybe use the emerald tracking mod if you hate the radar that much
I agree I feel like SA2 improved on a lot of things and streamlined a lot unnecessary things,SA1 is not bad but idk why people keep saying the hunting stages are worse when they're just not a cakewalk since SA1 hint system just tell you were they are, in SA2 is an actual hint and other than mad space and space herd it doesn't take that long to find the pieces anyways but people act like not having all 3 pieces at once is gonna make the stage 10 minutes longer.
I'll take a SA2 3 times in a row over having to replay Big and Amy stories, I don't care if they're shorter but they just feel terrible to play as much as I love the adventure games
@@Rex13013 big especially I had trouble on those as a kid and they were a pain now aways the regular missions are fine enough but the B and A missions I'd rather die than do those again
Not your Girlfriend's copy for much longer. It'll soon be your wife's copy. Congratulations Matty!
Sonic Adventure is such a classic top quality replayed it so much when I was younger - I recommend you do a PS2 retro rebound like the Ratchet and Clank Quadrilogy at some point after could do Jak Quadrilogy and Sly trilogy
For Big the Cat. I actually think if they wanted to lean towards the gameplay styles of SA2 in a SA1 remake, they should make Big play like Knuckles. As in, have him in a big-ish stage area using a beeper to search for frogs. I thought it'd be weird at first for Big to climb like knuckles, until I remembered he's a cat. :P And as for gliding, just have him glide with his umbrella. Sure it'd be pushing the laws of physics, but so do most of what Sonic characters do. :P
The dreamcast was the shit back in the day
This was one of the first games I ever owned and have played religiously since it came out.
If you're playing on PC sadx modloader (Same for SA2) and the overhaul mod makes it a flawless game, minus aged movement and some other areas.
Wait.. so you said you first played Adventure a year ago, and now you're back wanting to know if it's aged well or not? After a year of you playing a game that originally came out in 1998? What?
This game is a Classic!
E-102 Gamma is the Roxas of Sonic Adventure DX.
despite its wierd glitches still one of my favorite sonic games might evem be my favorite
I agree with everything you said about Sonic Adventure in comparison to Sonic Adventure 2 after playing both recently.
And yeah, Big the Cat should have been a character that appeared in the actual stages to trigger a fishing mini-game instead of having his own campaign forced on players. That was silly.
If they ever remake SA...I think Big the cat has to have a revamp. I personally want a primarily beat em up style for him, and then (to not leave out his signature thing) at the end of the level, you get a quick time event of him fishing for Froggy. Let's emphasize Big's determination/desperation to save his friend. Show that while he's a gentle giant that just loves to hang out with his friend, he is more than willing to get into the thick of it for his pal. I mean, either that...or just GOOD fishing mechanics 🤣
I like breaking this game in half and making this cool self shortcuts spindash and air break goes hard. Also gamma is cool And Big is everyones dad.
I'm staying positive about Sonic frontiers. It's gonna be 🔥 😏
I've heard many, many good things about Sonic Frontiers so far.
Amazing video. I like both adventure games,but i like sa2b better.
9:30 There's actually a mod called "Better Radar" for SA2 that not only allows you to track all shards, but also adds the colors from Adventure like Purple and Blue
So baby mode, basically.
@King Starscream I dunno, man. I don't hate the treasure hunting stages, but it's just flat-out stupid game design to have the third Emerald be right next to the first one, but arbitrarily not inform the player of this fact for no reason other than to make the level last longer. The SA1 style of treasure hunting was just better.
I personally think that having the radar was only necessary for 3 stages of the game namely death chamber,meteor herd and mad space because having the radar and the hint system would incorporate the same problem from sa 1 where you could easily cheese through those stages not to mention they lacking any depth also is a problem however in sa2 the game relies far more on mastery of moveset,quick traversal, player's ability to notice even the minute details the level has to offer rather than just gliding around aimlessly to make the radar blink and as for backtracking i really don't have issue with it since the character in question is really fast which means he could reach a place far more easily than many platforming mascots out there But hey that's just my opinion
@@kingstarscream3807 Not if you go for all A Ranks.
@@WasifBoomz If you're doing that then you know what you're doing, if you know what you're doing you don't need the old radar. With the bs the Sonic and Shadow stages (and even the car stages) expect you do for A ranks, complaining about the radar seems like you're being a crybaby tbh.
The 5th mission locations are fixed anyways and in every stage except for mad space and space herd you can quickly run thru every piece of a stage in a few seconds not to mention the hints don't prevent you from getting A ranks so idk why people complain so much about the radar, it's not gonna take you 20 minutes to finish a stage, not even 10 honestly.
I still got this game on Dolphin emulator. This game is so nostalgic.
I never could beat the game cause I was stuck on bigs part (I think that’s the purple rabbits name lol) but this game was my childhood definitely
I played it not once but twice this year. On ps3 and Wii U
I used to own that copy of the game before it got scratched up, still have the disk though
I beat sonic adventure this year. I don’t mind the sub stories but appreciate that I can just play as sonic without having to touch the other stories if I don’t want to. He has the best story in my opinion
The part about the freedom you have in the game compared to the newer ones is such a good point, it’s so overlooked and it would really benefit newer games to take inspiration from the past
Playing SA1 on Dreamcast will always be the way to go. So many effects lost and glitches gained with the constant ports. Plus the DC model shows a nicer transition from 2D to 3D
30fps though, PC with Dreamcast conversion mod is best
Graphics were revolutionary back then
I gotta say you are a lucky dude, i haven’t met woman ever that even knows sonic, put a ring on her bro, she’s a unicorn 😂
Where is his shadow the hedgehog video? I don't see it anywhere
dude I need frontiers like yesterday
BTW idk if you played Power Stone but it was a childhood fav of mine, and i feel like not a lot of people talk about it, it even had a Anime LOL.
14:10 Where is this elusive dreamcast mod? How do i get it?
Every japanese version sonic game(some pc ones excluded) has colorful manual. That's why i'm collecting those.
Sonic Adventure through Sonic Heroes is the golden arc of 3d Sonic games, BUT I'm a firm believer we're about to reach the redemption arc for Sonic games. Less than a week away, and I couldn't be more ready to see the Blue Blur again. I hope Sonic Frontiers not only surpasses the Golden arc, but goes even further and reaches higher peaks.
Sonic adventure with battle mode in the frontiers engine would go insanely hard tbh
I really hope Sonic Frontiers is just the “tech demo“ leading up to an Adventure 1/2 remake with a 3rd on the horizon
Matty, my guy, get you a Dreamcast
i have too played sonic adventure 1 this year for my first time, it was also the first sonic game i played despite me being a big fan since i was a child, anyways back to the point yeah the game really is great i love how more brightly colored it is and how every stage could just be calm that's why i honestly like dx more than sa2 since it just had a better feeling than sa2 not saying that it was a bad game it wa actually a great game buuut am just pointing out how dx compared to sa2 seems a bit underrated since the game really is great and i love it!
Never needed a second chance
Y'know, playing DX instead of the OG one doesn't really help. Not your fault, it's on SEGA for porting the worst version.
If they do remake Sonic Adventure, Big has to be included, but just as a minigame. Give him more areas to fish in, Mystic Ruins, Lost World and the Egg Carrier being the likeliest candidates, and have a whole fish-dex or something, that would be a good time, but he would not be a mandatory part of the game anymore. You can't just scrap him as he's as big a part of this game's legacy as everything else.
I hope they give him Zelda OOT-Fishing, just with the RNG of the fish letting go being replaced by the meter of his line breaking if you pull too much.
I don't feel like there's just one correct answer for where to go forward with controlling Sonic in 3D. I think a number of different games got a number of different aspects right, and figuring out how to bring the best of it together in a way that feels good and satisfying to play is the real challenge to focus on. I'll go over my opinion on how Sonic was handled best for an idea on how my ideal Sonic game would play.
Adventure feels really good when you're going more slow, giving you a tight sense of control. I think later games have a lot to learn from how Adventure handled it's slower movement speeds. Unleashed and Generations I think are peak Sonic when going really fast. I can live with or without the boost itself, but I think the drift and quick step with the more linear hallways are a great way to handle the faster sections of the levels. Lost World's Multi-Homing and Spindash are really good, though the spindash could use some more classic physics for launching off slopes and should allow for curling into a ball while running similar to the classics. Heroes' Triangle Jump is fun to use at times, and Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) I think handled rail grinding the best.
For everything Sonic 06 got wrong, I think it had more or less the right idea in regards to main levels and mach speed sections. Strip the loading screens in-between and transition from a more Sonic Adventure type playstyle to a more Generations inspired one with Drift and Quick Step, and sprinkle these sections throughout the levels rather than only as a big finale at the end. I'd say the transition between slow-medium speeds and "Mach Speed" should be used instead of a transition from 3D to 2D sections, only using 2D sections briefly for when a certain camera angle is being used and you don't want the player to accidentally get themselves killed. Generally, I feel the best way to pull off 2D sections is for the player to not realize they were ever in one to begin with.
When you're not in a "Mach Speed" section, you should still be able to go somewhat fast, with an emphasis on classic momentum physics not just built into the controls, but also the level designs. You should be able to use this to not just take alternate paths, but all kinds of hidden secrets and rewards for skilled gameplay.
And of course, the Adventure games got Sonic Storytelling very right, with other noteworthy examples being the Rush games, and the Storybook series. Story may not be important to gameplay, but it does contextualize gameplay which does a lot to enhance the experience. It's like the ketchup on top of the hot dog. It tastes fine without it, but let's be honest. It's just not the same without it.
There are many ways to do a 3D Sonic game, that part is not really the question. But for what they should move forward with, I feel as though the Frontiers Open Zone-controls and handling are a very good base to build on since it works and it fresh in everyone's minds, even if the physics may need to be tweaked still.
Started to Emulate these games when i got my Steam deck and even with my Childhood bias of loving SA2 the most. i enjoyed SA1 more now and even when i was younger. When i went to grab these games, i felt more of an attachment to SA1 remembering playing it on the Dreamcast. it was the only good game on that console, other thank Crazy taxi and Power stone.
awesome love adventure! Believe it or not Matty the GC version of Adventure is buggier and runs a lot chunkier DC version is 60fps and dosent have some of the hiccups that the GC has ether like the infamous fall through the first loop glitch lol but its still Sonic Adventure so no matter what its gonna be funky.
DC version is not 60FPS, its 30. And the DC version does also atill have the loop glitch and several others.
@@youmeltube ah your right it was adventure 2 i was thinking of my bad! I was sure the loop glitch started on DX but I could be wrong, the DX version for sure is more broken though, like I said its still Sonic Adventure so no matter what its kinda a mess XD
@@DoublexCoke The glitch that one falls through the road leading to the loop is exclusive to vanilla-dx, that's what you are thinking about. It just wasn't in the DC original and gladly has been patched by fanmods too.(Though for some reason the force that pulls Sonic is still present, that part still isn't fixed)
@@lpfan4491 oooooh, understood thanks! I knew it was something along those lines.
I love Sonic Adventure. But the game is old af. If you didn't play it back in the day it'd be hard to appreciate it for what it is. Shame we don't have many 3D sonic games.
Please cover Sonic Colors next
I think the video title gives a wrong idea to people that could be new or not familiar whit this channel, it sounds "a second chance" like if it means you droped it in the past disgusted or something
PC version with betterSADX mod nowadays turns from the worst optikn to play the game to the best one. All of the dreamcast textures, models and objects are restored, moreover we have full-pledged 60 fps unlike of 45-60 from Gc version, widescreen support with xinput, that supports analogs, vibration etc. Apart from it there's also an incresi resolution of user's interface
🔥🔥🔥
It's sad you never got into chao world, racing or karate. It starts extremely slow and I would never do it again as an adult but as a child chao world is SA2 was an amazing end game grind
8:25 It's always interesting when I hear people say that Unleashed and/or Generations is the best Sonic felt playing in 3D because I just personally don't agree with that whereas for me, the best Sonic felt was in SA1 and SA2. It's always hard to explain this but I just personally loved the "free-ness" of how Sonic moved an controlled in SA1 and SA2 where you could move him in a 8way type of way and it felt smooth like butter compared to the boost games like Unleashed and Generations where Sonic feels stiff as they want you to move in a straight fashion in order to fully utilize the boost feature. And I do get it, if they implemented the boost feature with how Sonic controlled and felt in the Adventure games, it would lead to a lot of deaths and frustration.But I dunno, that's just how I feel and I wish for one day we can get a newer game that uses the adventure controls/feeling in terms of how Sonic controlled again.
It depends on the preference. My personal favorite Sonic has played is Unwiished because of how well designed the drift and the boost are in the context of the leveldesign. But when one just moves normally, that incarnation of Sonic is way too stiff.
9:34 i might come off as a fanboy and you might ignore my comment but still i would highly suggest you to make use of the hint system rather than just gliding around aimlessly waiting for radar to blink and play it like you would play a collectathon or dare I say a metroidvania all while trying to stay at top speeds i feel people gave treasure hunting far less credit then they actually deserve
I play DX on my Xbox and 100% it and played as Metal Sonic!
