I remember my VMU breaking when I was very young, and I would continue to play Sonic Adventure knowing that I could not save, and I would binge the game for hours at a time. Sometimes leaving my console on over several nights, and eventually would have to replay it over and over again, and I actually got to the Super Sonic level without my memory card, kept the Dreamcast on, came back, and it was turned off. I had a similar thing with a broken memory card on PS2 also. Countless memories of me replaying the first several missions of Max Payne and Vice City over and over again.

The original's textures where decisively more rough/repetitious, and the poly-counts lower/oddly placed on characters. But it's important to remember this was the original PlayStation and N64 days. The Dreamcast visuals feel more of their time, before a lot of visual nitpicks became important. Devs where defiantly still learning to wield the extra processing-power at this point.

@@lemonadesnake Not on real hardware. Gamecube version has richer color and better lighting effects. In addition to holding a proper 60 hz v-sync. But if I recall, the game engine underwent an overhaul before being ported to the GCN. As the DC version was originally intended for the Saturn but got pushed back. So much of its early code base and art was still based off SH2 assembly. It wasn't fully able to show off the DC like it should have. Also look at the water effects between the two. The GCN uses a proper pixel shaded projected multi-texture while the DC relies on a basic motion patterned texture map. Significant upgrade... But arguably the GCN was the most powerful console of the generation (or at least the most effecient), and the DC was the earliest. They had quite a bit of difference between them in performance. Crazy Taxi was a great example of the DC holding a perfect 60FPS on the DC that really sucked when ported to other consoles.

I own all the console versions released and I must say I still stick with the Dreamcast version (vga box to hdmi 4k upscaled) which is overall the most satisfying to me. Sure it has no 60fps, but back in the day I couldn't believe my eyes staring at those photorealistic textures as those of the cobbled walls and grass. At that time nothing could be compared to, and still they look amazing to me, so clean and crispy, while most of the other versions has blurred textures with slow decompression and much popup here and there (Dreamcast textures are always there, no compression needed). Also the original version looks brighter, more naturally satured and contrasted compared to the others, in which there's always something wrong, let's say badly translated. Of course this is just my humble point of view and preference. 😁

I got the Dreamcast when it first came out and along with Mortal Kombat Gold..... then after 2 days I took the game back to K-Mart and at the time they allowed returns of open games AND they would refund your money. So I picked up Sonic Adventure instead and it was a VASTLY better game to play. Still have my Dreamcast and that same copy of Sonic. I would like to give the SADX PC mod a try though. Looks like a “definitive” way to play in HD.

@jordanscherr6699 3 жыл бұрын

As for frame rate, it's important to remember that aspect WASN'T a dev choice back in the day. A good comparison would be Perfect Dark and it's abysmal frame-rate. (by today's standards) If you want experience it as the devs preferred at launch, it's best played on emulators or modded consoles that can overclock the N64 processor a little. You get the game as Rare always intended that way. 30fps minimum would easily have been what Sega wanted for Sonic. But they couldn't quite get it so early in the Dreamcast's development lifecycle.

@jordanscherr6699 3 жыл бұрын

The versions are relatively even across the board, with the original windows port being the sore thumb. (Big surprise for windows ports of those days.) I think the modded 360 has the best of both worlds. It's injectors let you experience either visuals, original or remasted as desired.

This may be a hot take, but I think DX on GameCube looks the best. Plus one thing that I've heard nobody mention is that DX renders real time shadows, whereas the Dreamcast one doesn't, which makes a big difference in terms of atmosphere (at least for me). Plus the improved character models, frame rate, and more detailed water. This is my preferred way to play the game.

As someone who never played any of these games (so no nostalgia goggles for any particular version) I feel I'm in a pretty good position to say that the GameCube version looks so much better than the Dreamcast one it's insane to see so many people think the opposite. Unless there are problems through the rest of the game not present in this first level on GameCube I really have no idea how that's possible. Also the steam one without modding looked the best to me.

@bing4156 2 жыл бұрын

I’ll explain why majority say Dreamcast is the better release. Lighting in DX has been toned down quite a bit from the DC version which makes some scenes feel off from what there trying to be. Also while some textures have been improved, most of them have been changed from the DC to look sorta boring, or more basic to the DC. SADX was going for a more realistic style, while SA on DC was going for a more cartoony and bright fashion. Also while DX models have definitely more improvements to DC, many people prefer the more slight changes in the DC models as it’s more of a mid point of Sonic the Fighters and Sonic Adventure 2 models, unlike DX which it pretty much is the modern sonic that was in SA2 and not a mid point. Also while SADX does run in 60fps, that’s only because the GC has better hardware compared to the DC. And most of the time it can’t even handle 60fps. So that should explain why most people say Sonic Adventure on DC wins in the visual department.

Sonic the Hedgehog is a good example of what can happen if a companies best IP is based on a gimmick, ie- going fast. Sonic's mechanics never quite worked in 3D; you were either stuck on rails, bouncing around in a confusing seizure inducing mess or watching a cutscene. This game was great as a tech demo for the Dreamcast and decent enough to have several ports but nowhere near as fun as any 3D Mario game, because Sonic could never be anything but fast, whereas Mario was generic enough to get reinvented for every console release.

Sonic isn't about JUST going fast,it's about building up momentum,speed is the reward.also,when we're you just bouncing around and being stuck on rails? And lastly Sonic can be lots of other stuff then just being fast,have you seen the amount of spin-offs he has had,and none of them were that bad like,Team Sonic Racing and Tails Adventure

@isodoubIet Жыл бұрын

Sonic's gimmick is not speed, it's boldness. If you're trying to go slow and careful, he'll be sluggish, not jump as high, etc. So even if you're not sure what lies ahead you have to push forward. In the 2d games, playing like this is usually rewarded. In 3d it flat out doesn't work and has never worked. I don't know that it can. If it was about "speed", it'd be easy -- just make a racing game.
