I like how instead of adding a realistic look to everything like a toy diorama in the quake RTX remaster you actually made it look more cartoony and it looks beautiful. I don't know why but man the colors just pop!
The realistic lighting with that old ass skybox somehow makes it feel like emerald coast is under a huge dome with the sky painted on. I cannot look at it without my brain thinking it's indoors 💀
I been waiting awhile now to cover the RTX conversion. Figured if I waited until v1.0 it would look alot better, this is v0.99 or something which came out after 0.93 and 0.95.. v1 will come out after GTA6 so decided to cover it now finally, couldn't wait any longer xD. There's alot of things that look better, my favorite stages got to be Emerald Coast, Lost World, and Red Mountain, gorgeous! Station Square is epic to. There are also some stages and cutscenes that look abit off or too dark which hopefully gets adjusted. Overall it's really neat replaying SA1 like this. (Lastly - SADX Knuckles snuck in the video lol.. oh and the first cutscene crashed hence the cut)
This has its moments of looking fantastic! There a few bits which are a little on the janky side though - distant water reflections from high up are off-putting, and it looks like there's a little too much influence from the skybox lending a bit too much of a blue glow in some scenes - the stylized skybox is extremely blue after all! The Mystic Ruins as a whole is a bit off too, the normal maps are very harshly picked out and it feels like in general it needs an ambient light boost. Look at the shadows as the train doors close - it looks like there's a bizarre point light somewhere nearby. An auto exposure effect might help out in the extremely dark moments. Still, very exciting, and I love that they're leaving the modelling and textures untouched - it's a great look!
From reading the page, it sounded like they did redo some of the materials not all. Just to get it to look proper. A complete redo of the textures with new lighting would be fire. Water needs a revamp
The lighting looks amazing and the character models look really cool like this but some of the environments look a little odd with the old textures like the mystic ruins or the chaos 0 boss fight arena.
It looks awesome. My biggest problems are the water as it behaves weird, the skybox as it feels like one, chaos, as he doesnt look alot like water and his perfect form looks low poly, and super sonic as he is just a yellow light instead of the reflective gold. Otherwise, this is awesome and looks great, and with these fixed it will be the best way to play sonic adventure. Great work from the creators!
You will never catch me liking ray tracing more than conventional lighting (or at the very least when inserted placed that weren't designed around it) But I cannot lie sky chase act 2 looks AMAZING
@@askomgrealI'm fine with the DX model (besides the hideous mouth), but damn does it look bad with the Dreamcast model's animation skeleton (especially in cutscenes 💀)
I would turn down the glow on supersonic and give his eyes some more color. As it is the whites look like jaundice, and the iris and pupil are both yellow too. The iris is usually red in this form, right? Though it would be cool if you could make them super saiyan blue.
I'm not a huge fan of the changes here to be honest. Some things look good, but for the most part it looks either half baked or unfinished. Like Skydeck and Final Egg are the only stages that looked consistently good to me. So many assets just don't have any shading at all making them look extremely flat. Speed Highways highways are the greatest example. They look like they're glowing.
@@MisterSandmanAU”bad graphics” probably relate to the outdated graphics engine not being as efficient as modern systems and is not a criticism on how the game looks
Surfaces (at least some of them. For example the mystic ruins' ground) don't have a pbr material and reflect all light no matter what direction it's coming from.
Guys, are you serious right now or are the comments just fake positive reviews?! Are you seriously not noticing anything?! Like, absolutely nothing?! I see complete hackwork. All your vaunted RTX is about the glass removed in trains and reflections from surfaces that have such a soapy texture resolution that you can literally wash your hands on these surfaces. The only positive moment is the reflection in the glass of buildings. That's where the praise ended. If you've already started making RTX, then at least make HD resolution for all textures first. I'm a simple Internet user and I understand that updating the texture resolution is the first thing, and only then should other improvements be made.
i feel like you don't understand enough to talk on any of this, or have misunderstood, no offense! i don't think the mod creator for the RTX or uploader tried to pretend they were creating a complete HD remaster of the game. the mod for the textures in this video is a completely seperate mod that is trying to faithfully reimplement the dreamcast assets into the PC version. RTX mods albeit difficult to implement can potentially be a lot less time consuming to slap together than manually creating HD every single texture in a video game, old or not. you could put things through AI upscalers but they also kinda look jank and have high potential to lose a lot of the consistency between stylistic themes and art direction. RTX mods in particular often have bases readily available online for modders to base theirs from when creating their own mods for games.
What you're asking for is a remaster, something i (and no one else) cannot provide currently, but is being worked on. Upscale textures, as I have stated many times, are coming later. I don't believe you understand the sheer magnitude of work you are demanding of a 2 person team, working on a free mod.
It looks nowhere near RTX looks. The water and lighting effects will make everything look realistic in RTX because of ray tracing. This mod isn't showing any of that. Good luck fooling people with an HD remaster.
It appears zainahmed4172, that you are too late. I have already fooled everybody into believing that this is the HD remaster of Sonic Adventure with RAY TRACING GRAPHICS. There is nothing you can do now to convince people otherwise, I have already won. -Best wishes, Jacob
Alright who leaked the Sonic Adventure HD Remaster?
Me

There's moments where it might be a little too dark or too bright for my liking, but man when it works it's pure eye candy
This is exactly how I remember SA1 on the Dreamcast as a 7-year-old. :P

we really need this for sa2, especially since modern sa2 mod exists and would just really complete the package of being a sa2 remaster
1:37:33 made me realise how simple Perfect Chaos's model is lol
every frame of this looks like a VRChat screenshot
1:27:42 It looks like an official wallpaper, one of those typical pre-rendered renders from the 90s-2000s

Almost perfect, just the water needs to be fixed. Now imagine this with texture materials.

Water needs a revamp
I swear this is what the game used to look like for me as a kid on the Dreamcast, the vibrant colours and visual cues were so amazing to me as a child
i wasn't expecting much.... damn that blew me away. loved it!
This game will always have a special place in my heart, used to watch my older brother playing it on Dreamcast
1:45:01 Tikal has joined to the server
5:47 ayo what is Sonic doing to that woman 💀💀
The only time Sonic will risk going in the water. 💀💀
The S9nic and Tails emerald cutscene looks like something you'd render in blender lol
The lighting looks amazing and the character models look really cool like this but some of the environments look a little odd with the old textures like the mystic ruins or the chaos 0 boss fight arena.
25:49 That jump was REALLY satisfying!
Looks pretty good, might have to check this out some time.
The creator seems pretty cool too 😊
This is like looking at the game through 1999 glasses

29:35 I just realized the glowy things that appear after you hit chaos are the chaos emeralds
This lowkey looks official almost
This looks stunning!!
The RTX bounce lighting makes Emerald coast looks so sunny and lively, looks gorgeous!
I miss Sonic's proportions and look like this
Not too big on ray tracing, but I'll admit, this looks slick.
This actually looks solid unlike the rest of the raytracing trash out there
1:54 iconic
This looks marvelous and stupendous! 👍🤩

*It Looks Amazingly Different!*
did you recolor sonic? it's odd! his blue is so modernly accurate. it's extremely vivid.
Do you think this would work with character mods, such as the Shadow over Sonic mod?
The mod page, says it does not work with other mods outside of a select few. Most likely does not work.
@ Ok, thank you for responding 👍🏾
Alright, I'll replay SADX again for the 1000th time
exactly how i would imagine they would remake it for ps5 xbox, will happily play it on my pc tho :>
Nice I'd like to see this used with PS0 v2
I second this
Yeah I Try RTX I Didn't Know
I Have PC Spece
I7-11700F
RTX 4070 Ti Gigabyte Gaming OC 12GB
SSD Samsung 990 Pro 2TB
Pretty sure that would run it fine, I have a RTX 4090 as a reference.
@@sonicovertime what about AMD?

I think manual lighting works better for old games. It wouldve been better if the modders made the lightign look like the first leak of this game.

This looks identical to Hedgehog Engine 2... Except with much higher system requirements. Really puts into perspective how cool that engine is.
HE2 looks better wdym
@@acwbit2368 how does real-time engine compare to actual Ray tracing.
You could have said the textures SEGA used in all HE2 games are better
@@HyperJonic ray tracing doesn't make an older title magically on par with a new title
@@acwbit2368 that's the point HE2 is better because it's newer, but not better than Ray tracing
Will you need like a good graphics card
What people actually saw when they played this when they were younger:
Looks very nice
This is insane 😮
Why is water mostly solid color? Or to be more precise, the wrong opacity?
The running in Sonic Adventure is more fun than every new sonic game that came out after
you need to add the random puddles all over the city floor
can you get this running on an amd card?
Looks great! Now imagine people would not just put fresh paint on it, but actually tried to improve the controls and camera :D
The realistic lighting isn’t really sitting right with me. It makes all of the low poly models feel out of place. But that’s just me.
GTA Trilogy be like:
im tempted to reinstall and play the game again bcs of this...
My PC would probably explode with this 💀
what people thought sa1 on the dreamcast looked like
hi def polygons is so fire
combine this with reshade and it's awesome
Rtx? Acronym meaning please ?
ray tracing
what gpu is this played on?
1:45:07 which ost is it please ?
Where is this available?
This look so cursed cuz im used to bad graphics 😭😭😭
The original graphics are iconic.
The graphics are identical tho. All the models and textures are the same ones, what changed was the lighting
"bad graphics" you can just say you dislike the original aesthetic bc its not bad lmao
It is still "bad graphics", just with rtx
@@MisterSandmanAU”bad graphics” probably relate to the outdated graphics engine not being as efficient as modern systems and is not a criticism on how the game looks
this is what sonic will look like in 2025
Definitely has a lot more effort than just putting rtx on sonic adventure
can you do this with hd models
Not yet sonic its not over yet
How do I install this? It keeps telling me "Access Denied" when I put the path to SADX in the installer
We got sonic adventure remaster before gta 6
That is a mod?
For some reason...
It felt like a Roblox game-..
Surfaces (at least some of them. For example the mystic ruins' ground) don't have a pbr material and reflect all light no matter what direction it's coming from.
Can this work on a steam deck???
Sick
how do I install this on my pc
That background failed the RTX check
Is this a mod
Man, could you please leave the config? I can't find a balance between graphics and normal fps 💀
А смогу ли я поиграть в этот мод на своей видеокарте RX 7600 ?
I cant take this seriously after watching Atarix videos
I didn't think you could make Chaos look even worse than DX did, but you did it.
Despite at some parts, this actually looks identical to the Dreamcast commercials made by Dreamworks!
Sonic adventure the definitive edition
I’m not seeing any ray tracing.
Despite this, the gams still looks as jank as ever
oh god
low poly models in rtx...😭
Tutorial pls :c
2:21
Is this supposed to look better? 😂
better than SA1DX
