- This mod adds RTX remix path tracing into Sonic Adventure DX.
This is still a work in progress, and WILL require a RTX graphics cad of some kind

Thanks for playing my mod! There are still some big updates to come in the next few months so keep an eye out!
Looking forward to it. A lot of feedback can be found in the comments (the main one being some areas being way too dark)
Dude if I where to play this mod and get it running at more then 5 fps due to it being way more complex then Mario 64 then I would play it. But all the preformance hacks in the world won’t save me lol
One piece of recommendation, since some areas are way too dark, either add lighting to it or make it so the light ring in Sonic's hand shines brighter in dark areas, I think that would make a great effect
This is REALLY tasteful. No "everything is wet shiny shinyyyyy" overkill, the RTX changes slot in so unobtrusively.
Only comment is that some dark parts seem a bit TOO dark now, which makes realistic sense (there's no light source there), but is a little much from a gameplay perspective. The idea from maxios-7613 here of making the light ring in Sonic's hand shine brighter in dark areas seems like a good possible fix.
How do I install it I don’t know what I’m doing could you like make a tutorial
What Sonic Adventure looked like when you were a kid.
True
Real
Based
No it looked bad then also sa2 was much better.
@@Rubbe87 ok bud
sonic adventure has the best 3d gameplay and running style. they shouldve never change it
While I do like the boost formula, I agree the adventure formula imo is better!! My first sonic game was Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, so I’m obviously going to be a bit biased towards it.
I blame Yuji Naka, Iizuka and 06, Sonic Team is notorious for fixing what ain't broken.
Technically the Boost formula is just the Adventure formula but with a few additions and replacements. Spindash was swapped out with Boost, Bounce (introduced in SA2) was swapped out with Stomp, and finally Quick Step and Drift were added. People claim that the formula changes constantly, but in all honesty Heroes still uses a modified Adventure formula (just with the team gimmick) and Shadow 05/Sonic 06 lean back more into the Adventure formula as it was before Heroes, just with their own little changes. Secret Rings and Black Knight are basically just the Adventure formula on rails and with extra gimmicks on top, and the Boost Formula is again just another alteration on top of the Adventure formula. Even Lost World in its own ways is just the Adventure formula taken in another direction.
The bigger thing that has become different isn't the formula, but the physics and level design. If the stages were designed more like SA1 and SA2 stages with no 2D sections and the physics were built to improve on what the Adventure games were shooting for, the Boost formula would end up feeling like a natural progression of the Adventure games. Though, I do think Stomp and Bounce should be able to co-exist in Sonic's moveset, and Frontiers has proven the same can be true for Spindash and Boost. I think a decent way of going about it would be to do it as a middle ground between Adventure 2 and Generations. Stage design similar to the Adventure and Heroes era stages in Generations, but with no 2D sections and better on foot controls for when the player doesn't want to go fast such as for searching for and collecting moveset upgrades similar to the Adventure games. There's also a lot of potential in continuing to improve the Frontiers playstyle for hub worlds, though maybe tone down these hub areas being the "main" gameplay section and have these places mostly function as fun little movement playgrounds for the player to go from stage to stage in like a cross between Frontiers and Adventure 1.
I feel like Adventure formula has endless potential compared to boost. But add these two formulae together, and we could have something very special
@@Crow_Rising
The Adventure games had a bigger emphasis on platforming and were a more faithful translation of the 2D games into 3D while the boost formula emphasises a more reaction based playstyle on the 3D sections with most of the platforming being saved for the 2D sections, the 3D sections feature way less platforming because Sonic's controls are not optimized for platforming in the boost games, being more optimized for gaining and mantaining high speeds.
Imo it's not really the evolution of the adventure formula and is more of a departure entirely, being the main reason why other characters aren't even playable in most of the Boost era games, some of Sonic's moves had to be changed to accomodate for this type of gameplay, and just like the adventure games used the 2D games as reference, the Boost games used the Adventure games as reference, but went in a very different direction
I still think these are pretty nice games, the Boost era games tend to be more polished and less janky than any other 3D Sonic games, but I still think Sonic's Gameplay was more engaging in the Adventure games and a polished version of that gameplay style would be way better than what we got with the boost formula imo.
I don't know if they're gonna keep going with the Sonic Frontiers style, which seems to be a combination of both the Adventure and Boost formulas, tho I haven't played it yet, it looks interesting but I feel like the gama should've stayed in the oven for longer.
calling 1080p low quality is insane to me
I usually record in 1440p. That’s why I said that
@@Sonicfans1 it's barely a difference 😭
@@coolguydoesstuff7876 what is your monitor's resolution?
i guess times are changing. remember how 720p was considered "HD" at one point?
@@peckneck2439tbh I still consider it, idk if it's my eyes or what but I don't see much of difference between 720 and 1080
Its crazy how far updated lighting alone will take a game's graphics!
Indeed
Yeah, lighting is the king of graphics in my eyes. In some places this mod almost made this game look modern.
Ray Tracing is pretty awesome but very taxing
Yeah, it will be a while before computers can handle ray tracing without nearly over 1,000 dollar GPUS
meh i dont think it really improve it all that much, and the old lighting fits the models/textures better. it also barely has an effect on night/indoor scenes. it's interesting, especially to people who already played the game, but I don't think it adds a whole lot and isn't an objectively better style for sonic adventure. maybe if the graphics were improved with HD models and textures it could work.
I love how RTX started as a meme yet here we are, actually changing games with it
Fans for the past decade have been saying for the Sonic Adventure remake “Fine, I’ll do it myself” and it’s amazing 😂🔥💯
Well it’s not really a remake, just different lighting.
eh, it gives it more of a "remaster feel". For a fantastic example on what RTX remix can do, check out the HL2 RTX Remix Project.
remaster.. same that Lara got
Seeing how much the community has modded SA1 and SA2 to hell and back, one could literally assume that the remake has already been done by now *(and for free)*
Ray Tracing+Dreamcast conversion mods+CGI Styled Sonic (and maybe one day all the characters too...)=Perfection
The fact that the reanimated animations mods was never existed was crazy
Now imagine if you used this mod in tandem with the original versions lighting.
Looks cool.
I remember an SA2 "ray tracing mod" which just made everything look wet, so seeing one that actually looks legit is amazing.
I can get 186fps in Minecraft with the "BSL" ray tracing shaders, so I'm gonna try this with my Intel Arc A380 too. Wish me luck.
Yea I remember seeing that SA2 mod myself and personally didn't think it looked too hot. This on the other hand looks a lot better!
Yeah that last one was just zero effort Reshade slop.
Hoping for a better RT mod for SA2 someday, as an SA2 fan
People been doing those wet mods since the days of enbseries. Usually just SSGI, and they have to make everything wet to sell the effect.
I like it, but I can't help but feel the global lighting is a bit too samy or almost volumetric, like it spreads/ bleeds into everything in an uncanny way. Also dark spots are completelt dark, I'm sure that wasn't the devs' idea. There would need to be some light sources.
Also some effects leave a semi baked light for a while after they're gone.
Okay, time to play SADX again for the 50th time only because of that mod
I’ve long thought that graphical improvements in games have stagnated but RTX continues to impress me. Makes everything feel fresh and seems to work with a lot of art styles. Cool stuff.
Makes things look different. Better is purely subjective. It doesn't work here, Sonic Teams original work is superior.
@@overwatch761 Better isn’t subjective. Art is not subjective. Visuals are not subjective. You seem very invested in this almost as if it’s a large part of your personality. Cope.
@@DukeBluedevil70 Sonic Teams original work is superior. Shoehorning RT in were it doesn't belong doesn't look good.
@@overwatch761 It does look good. It does belong. Sonic Team’s original work is inferior here. It’s 25 years old. Cope.
Although it's impressive it clashes with the og artstyle.
No
True, older video games like this weren't really created with ray tracing in mind
Finally someone adds the dreamcast lighting to DX
This isn't the dreamcast lighting? This uses RTX Remix
@@Sonicfans1 Twas just a joke
@@Yuli_Banah got ya
I see all these sonic adventure remakes on here that are just generations mods and such, but this honestly as a sonic fan is all I want. Sonic Adventure but with more updated lighting and some graphic improvements to at least pass it off as a “remake” and not just another generations mod
Also I was today years old when I figured out you can lodge back to back honing attacks with the light speed dash wtffff
Yeah, the Light speed Attack can home in on enemies like the homing attack.
This is fun to test and compare, but if anyone genuinely thinks slapping ray tracing makes the game look better is objectively wrong
For the case of this game, I must disagree. Less is more. The less you mess with the original game the better, because it still respects the game legacy, while giving it a improved look
This is a great visual upgrade without damaging the original artwork of the game, which most mods fall into that trap of trying to improve what already is perfect
That looks pretty good! I had seen an RTX mod before and it seemed to make the ground really shinny, like it was wet, regardless of it made sense or not and I didn't think it looked very good. But again, this looks a lot better.
This looks so good! Hopefully someone will do the same for SA2! The cutscenes with path tracing would be crazy
Agreed, I would love to see that. SA2 was my first Sonic game ever, so seeing it with RTX Remix would be cool to see
Me other games with ray tracing:- hmmm ok it fine
Me seeing Sa1 and gens getting ray tracing with a mod :- Sega this is called remaster or remake learn something from the fans.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the Generations Raytracing mod. I’ll definitely be covering that once it comes out
That Emerald Coast prelude cutscene actually feels like what I remember it looking like when I was a kid in 2000. Not bad at all!
Imagine this with that mod that makes sonic look like the promo art :-O or those mods that make the whole game more modern
I would play this over a remaster any day. updated light sources is good enough for me!
I agree. But I also think dynamic Shadows are a must.
i guess i am in the minority because i honestly do not like the look. DX already broken the lighting of SA1, to me raytracing just highlights those errors. everything bright lol
I'm usually not a guy for graphics like it usually doesn't have any effect on whether I buy a game or not but when it enhances the experience of the universes I play and love like Sonic the little things just make it that much better. It makes me sort of more immersed. But also I do love just seeing old graphics it pleases me with nostalgia and all that and plus there are universes out there where that's how reality "looks"
Walking/Running animation was at its best here… I never had a problem with charging the light speed dash
I never liked having to charge up the light speed dash. I like how it's handle better in future games with the press of a single button
@@Sonicfans1 nah… it’s too boring to me…
I wonder how well this would run with the dreamcast conversion mod
Dude, I’m surprised you’re even recording at all and the game is running decently honestly! I’ve run Mario 64 with retracing and I barely get 30 FPS and that’s with like six lights max and the lowest resolution
Even if it’s left to the fans we are closer to a remake with cool shit like this
It looks really cool close up and in Speed Highway. But it makes the sky look muddy or like a sand storm is happening in Emerald Coast. KInda makes the skybox look brown I guess is what I am saying.
Oh damn, hey there. I loved your video on development history on Sonic 2!! As for the mod, it’s still being worked on by the developer.
@@Sonicfans1 glad to hear it. Casino Night looks great too.
Yeah, I love how that looks too.
Imagine adding the Dreamcast Conversion mod to this mod 😲😲
This is how we thought Sonic Adventure looked on 9-9-99.
This looks amazing
Yep, but it's hard to run.
Sonic Adventure Remake in the future:
The Casino's Vault opening.... Is that what Millionaires felt like getting their first million? ❤❤😂
Sonic Adventure remaster would be like….
It looks pretty good. Some of the lighter stages look a bit washed out, some of the lighter colored textures look too pastel like but other than that it’s a good start.
This is what sonic adventure on xbox 360 and ps3 should look like
It's funny how you chose the 2 hardest stages to get A emblem on.
holy fuck the memories are coming back, this game is soo awesome !
I do appreciate someone actually showing the levels and playing normally, as opposed to spin dashing every second, bugging out the game to cross gaps.
I like to usually play games as intended, but I do like speed running
eat you heart, sega
SEGA can be dense sometimes, but I like what I'm seeing for Shadow Generations
Don't you mean *open* your heart?
@@SwiftAsTheWind yes, as patolaganatom.
The lighting in the caves in the second phase of Emerald Coast did not scale well. It’s pitch black.
To be fair, it would be dark in a cave if it has no lights.
@@Sonicfans1 even lost world did something for that.
Im referring to irl lighting. Caves are dark
Crazy what lighting can do
I usually think that raytracing that's simply slapped on top of a preexisting game kinda ruins the original's artstyle, but this one actually looks pretty nice. Still needs some reworking in some places where there's so little light that it's hard to tell what's happening tho. I also wonder just how much of this could have been done via pre-calculated "baked" lighting similar to the one done for Unleashed, a surprising number of those light sources don't move so it's not like those need to be done in real time.
Looks glorious!
This is how it looked back in 1998
as someone who grew up with 1600x900 and then 1920x1080 monitors, it's really sad to see that 16:9 HD aspect ratios are now considered low quality.
It’s more to do with how badly UA-cam compresses 1080p video for people with low sub counts.
People with higher sub counts get better compression, but it’s only viewable for people with UA-cam Premium, which is really stupid.
It’s why I upload all my videos in 1440p, which has better quality imo
@@Sonicfans1 Actually afaik the compression has to do with video age and view count. It's so UA-cam can save server space without deleting millions of videos. The older and less viewed your video is, the more likely the algorithm will compress it. This video seems to be doing pretty well for it's age so I doubt the video's been compressed and it likely won't be for at least a few years.
Take videos like Coppercab's "Gingers do have souls" for example. That video has barely been compressed over the years because it has millions of views. It also went viral when it initially came out, so it was always fairly safe from the compression algorithm.
Man, I must be old if 1080p is considered low quality and necessary to apologize for.
I usually upload at 1440p. 1080p gets compressed to hell, and to me looks really bad. 2k and 4k uses less compression in comparison
honestly, it would be awesome if someone updated the prerendered light to look like that lol
Looks fantastic with ray tracing on Sonic adventure
It does!
Why are the tunnels so dark? Shouldn't at least a bit of light leak insde them?
You'll need more than just any RTX card to run this at a decent framerate, even for a game as old as this since it uses path tracing which is more demanding than ray tracing & RT on its own is still pretty demanding on most setups right now. You'd probably have to have an x70/80 class card from the 30 or 40 series to even have hopes of running it at a playable FPS. What's your PC setup?
Man they really need to do a remaster of this game.
I agree.
What are your specs if you usually record in 1440p?, as still seeing some frame drops for 1080p, but looks great so far.
Intel core i9 13900 and a Rtx 3070. I plan to change gpu either later this year or early next year
I miss the lightspeed shoes from sa1
Absolute insanity. Thank you
Sonic 2006 actually was just sonic adventure with better engine after all, this looks as good as 2006
I hope sega remakes SA1 and SA2 like this.
No.
This looks really nice, now....Try House Of The Dead II.
this will be sonic adventure in 2010
Damn lookin' good.
Imagine this plus texture mapping 😮
do you mean normal maps? Cause that is something that's going to be added in the future according to the developer
It went from a Potato to a Shiny Potato lol
lol
Lost World would probably be unplayable
is it strictly for use with RTX cards? I have a radeon rx 6600 with ray tracing... is the mod compatible with amd cards too?
I’ll point out that AMD cards can run this, but I’m not familiar with Radeon cards. My suggestions is trying it out and see how well it runs. Press alt and X to mess with the settings and see what works for you the best.
@@Sonicfans1 okay, thanks!
@@chrissedberry5496 how was the perfomance i have the same card and i couldnt even start the game
@@IlIlllIIllllllllllIII havent tried yet, will report back asap lol
SADX : Into the dark Edition. ^^
OH YEAH! This is happenin'!
huh? (police sirens in the distance)
Which version of the game is this mod applied to? Is it the steam version or one of the console versions emulated?
It’s the Steam version.
My laptop would NOT handle this, I'll be sticking with Reshade.
What Sonic Adventure would look like in Sonic 3D Origins
Install Requirement 50GB
I don't know but it feel wrong without the motion blur
we need the adventure series remastered
What nvidia GPU do you use? Does it run well?
I have an RTX 3070. I ran it on DLSS Auto and on 1080p
Awesome!!
Damn that's so cool
Is this only RTX mod or did you run it with other mods for textures and such?
I used an HD Models mod as well.
Would look better if it could sustain a constant 60fps.
Sonic adventure 👍👍
5:19 oh no
looks like You put the brigtness to 2 and contrast to 100 and call it a Say.
I didn't make this if that's what you're implying. I left a link in the description to the mod, feel free to leave feed back on it
Looks kinda too dark to me...
That's look really awesome
1080p is low quality? 😅
I’m not a fan on how 1080p looks on UA-cam. the compressions looks awful, especially on big screens. 2k and up uses a better compression system, and it just looks overall better imo
Does this mod fixes resolution problem?
Im not sure what you mean by this?
No idea how to even begin setting this up.
The mod comes with a very easy to use installer and uninstaller.
Rtx +, my eyes -
This is so polished I love it it’s like unleashed
It's actually still a work in progress, Super Sonic is not done yet
What GPU did you use for this?
I have an Rtx 3070
My pc will hate me when I play this mod 😭
makes the game hella laggy
i can run spider-man remastered with ray tracing but i cant with this game
any specific reason ?
What resolution are you trying to run the game? RTX remix is way more advanced compared to Spider Man Remastered. For example, I had to run SADX RTX at 1080p to get it at an acceptable framerate. Also, what GPU are you using.
This will be graphics in 2013
Not bad.
cmon at least compare to the fixed lighting mod, sadx broke a bunch of lighting effects from thr dreamcast
The picture in the thumbnail compares the lighting in the lantern engine to the on Rtx remix is using.
can't watch the video my gpu doesn't have ray tracing T_T
I bet SEGA would sell this version for $60
What GPU do you have?
RTX 3070. I need to run it in 1080p for it to run better
Does it run on Steam Deck?
More than likely not
🥰🥰🥰
Sonic adventure definitive edition
