Built a new PC and of course I decided RPCS3 with Sonic Unleashed would be a good stress test. Still waiting on the 4090 to ship, but title is close enough if we include the 3080's original cost.

Idk how Sonic Team even made Jungle Joyride on the Xbox 360 and PS3 and got it to work. That stage looks better then a lot of games released even today.
i think it has to do a lot with the lighting. look at far cry 3, the textures don't hold up but the lighting makes the game look great.
@@meeks105 I agree with you on that part because Sonic Generations had the Unleashed lightning engine but it’s deactivated for stability purposes and it is very possible to re-enable it with mods to make it look as beautiful as Unleashed does.
I believe unleashed had the most budget put into it
-30 fps section
@@meeks105 Yeah just like Pokemon Battle Revolution. Many models didn't age well but the lightning is good even in a Wii game
This game was beautiful when it came out, and it is still beautiful to this day. Sega nailed the art style, colors and lighting effects in Unleashed. It's so polished.
After 06 they had to nail everything otherwise it would been bad for the series at that point…
It’s one of the first video games ever to use global illumination for the lighting
The music is 🔥 too
It looks so good I still can't believe it's released around 2009
The voices and acting were better too. As well as personalities. Granted I love the gameplay and story of frontiers. But the voices personalities and acting just doesn't hit that mark for me. Though the game itself is in the right direction in terms of design.
Im convinced technology only advances in order for us to optimally play this masterpiece
damn dude, i thought emulating Unleashed didn't work right, this looks great
It really does surprised they got it on the xbox 360 & ps3
I want to get an xbox series s to play this at high fps
It’s the guy!!!’ Ayeeeee
I thought you hated Unleashed dude?

It's obviously the PS3 ver that still have inconsistent FPS in some areas. No matter how beastly powerful your CPU+your spec is. Still. I hope your having a blast with your build!
What about Xbox version ?
@@Navi_Silver On the Xenia emulator? Not possible to do full walkthrough, unless you have a complete save data from a modded 360 for playtesting.. It crashes a lot, even at Hub worlds as well. But constant 60fps
Yeah, by experience, Xenia version not lasted that long for me. First loading screen, game crashed.
Ps3 had variable fps which in some areas was 60fps, Xbox 360 was capped at 30 fps but was more consistently 30 fps
@@forgives12 Use the vulkan renderer in the latest canary, I've been playing Unleashed on Xenia from start to finish using it. The only issue that Vulkan has is in Empire city, the streets get green, for some reason. You won't be playing in 4K 60, but the game will run at 720p 30, "as intended".
Last time I've played the game on RPCS3 I had real bad performance on Empire City Night and Spagonia Night, it was just unplayable
RPCS3 and Xenia are making some huge strides! Though there are stability issues with Xenia Canary at the moment. Don't let that stop you, but stay as little time in the main hub worlds as you can before the game crashes. RPCS3 is playable from start to finish, but dips in FPS happen.
I hope that both can work together to improve stability and performance.
if only sega ported the damn game to pc...
@@lucaspec7284 Seriously, trying to play unleashed mods is such a pain and I don't wanna deal with XB360 emulation.
Tf ps3 emulation is already out and stable?

Read the comment again, they referred to XENIA
Jungle Joyride, Windmill Isle, Dragon Road, Eggmanland, & even Cool Edge. I love the thoughtfulness Sonic Team put into these day stages visuals and difficulty. This game released on consoles almost 14 years ago and to this day it’s a shame that in my opinion no boost stages come close to the treatment Unleashed got. Generations was cute with minor fixes but Forces was a major slap in the face, hopefully Frontiers can revive this captivating rush of adrenaline you get playing because the fact that we can’t port this game or get an Ultimate Edition like Colors is very frustrating. Sega lowkey knows that’d make bank too if they ever thought about putting Unleashed on the PS5/ Xbox
I just enjoyed how difficult they were, this was the last game they put effort into
Don’t we remember how Colors Ultimste ended up? Honestly Sega are so fucking awful at porting their games properly they’d probably botch Unleashed terribly
This!
frontiers already looks way better than forces it actually looks like we'll get a good sonic game for the first time in 12 years
seeing how colors ultimate fared... you sure you want unleashed ultimate?
Is that really Unleashed?! THe stages were so long! Amazing!
Yep, Unleashed has easily the longest of the boost stages.
but not painful as Sonic 06 levels
this was also the final non eggmanland stage so
@@-Poka- Congratulations, this is easily the most pointless "haha 06 bad" joke I've ever seen in my life
Back when Sonic Team tried
Edit: Coming back to this after Frontiers, I'm pleasantly surprised with how fun it is, but overall, Unleashed just feels better. Not only more finished, but more graphically impressive as well.
I look forward to however they may proceed after Frontiers, though.
It's not as much of Sonic Team's fault as it is SEGA's for rushing them time and time again.
This game will never cease to blow my mind every time I see it in action.
Hope I can actually play it one day. TwT
@Tech Josh Wii version compared to this though I played Wii version only in my teens seeing gameplay of this version makes me wish I played this one it brings more of sonics nature out “gotta go fast!”
@Tech Josh true I bought it on the Xbox store on sale a few months ago
Then you play a werewolf lvl and you regret
@@marioguy6486 yeah the Wii version is basically daylight robbery tbh, let's be real
@@ARCHVILE_DRS stop summoning demons
Now spend another 4000$ to get 120FPS
Lol now that I think about it if he spent $4000 on liquid nitrogen cooling equipment he might be able to overclock the 7950x and the 4090 to the point where 120 fps at 4k might even be possible
Then again he would need to learn how to overclock cpus and gpus using LN2 and have someone else to pour the LN2 while he is gaming (which is technically impossible because pc gamers have no friends)
More like 10k.
Why if the human eye can only notice 60
@@uhhh_adam 🤡🤡
Diminishing returns dude. It would take another 10k to get 120fps, not 4k.
The fact that one course lasted 5 minutes is a huge deal on Segas part. The maps are really intricate and abstract, not to mention the camera angles and speed used to make this come alive.
Crazy how it went from this to Forces lol. At least Sonic Frontiers is a step up from Forces.
This is soooo damn good! I know that the FPS loss is not the fault of the game itself or the computer. The boundaries of optimization on the Playstation 3 were tight. Sonic Team did the best they could not to amortize the experience or have to cut any content. Nice video!
It is genuinely surprising that even on the Ryzen 7950X and its additional benefits on the front of Instruction Sets, the Aero Chaser portion of Jungle Joyride (Day) is still able to see framerate dips, though I am not all too certain on if this is a Resolution or Coding issue with RPCS at this point due to not yet having worked with Zen IV (I have a 5950X, at the time of typing; it's respectable for its intended purpose, but even this, Hydrophobia, and PGA Tour 'I2 to 'I4 still struggle to stay at 060 FPS in many areas when paired with a Radeon VII); it's been genuinely pleasant watching the emulator evolve over the years, what was once a Slideshow or Crashfest is now reasonably stable (even if a title is still in Ingame status, rather than Playable) and I hope we'll end up in a position where AMD CPUs and GPUs will witness the same kind of optimizations that Intel and Nvidia have gotten, there's definitely a Hardware Bias still present for obvious reasons but wishfully that will significantly improve as this decade progresses. (:
Not to mention this is the ps3 version so it is possible that this one is more unstable than the 360 version of Unleashed
one of my favorite sonic games of all time… i enjoyed every second of the video !
What a great stress test.
Unleashed is over a decade old and has the best boost levels of any sonic game to date!
Man graphically this game still holds up so well
This is definitely a game that deserves a remaster, along with the adventure series and a remake of Sonic 06
MY MAN IS DEDICATED 🙏
I LOVE IT
This game is a piece of art , this was a joy to watch 🥲
You mean it was a... Joyful Ride?
@@stardustsdd Exactly 😂
When you think about the fact that this was the exact same amount Hellena Taylor got offered to do the entire bayonetta 3 game, it's really sad lol
BEWARE OF MY RULES
BLOCKED.
I bet she would’ve taken the offer if she knew she could get a PC that could play Sonic Unleashed in 4K with it.
It was something upwards of $15k
@@newt2246 Makes her decision even dumber
$4K for 4K. Well done on the achievement 8:08 btw :)
$250 for 4K HDR 60fps on a Xbox One X too :)
Dude. This was a beautiful run!!!
The AVX512 instruction set really makes a difference
I was ready to go with a 13900k until I remembered Intel killed off AVX512 support
Early 12th gen chips have it
@@Navi_Silver Good luck finding one of those without paying a scalper.
@@sonicboy678that's what the used market is for.
@@snake7440 The used market is for scalping?
underrated SONIC game ever ! Fantastic opus
Almost the same performance on my 11700k. I guess there's a limit at some point but at least you don't have to get the latest R9 to reach it. Nice runs btw 👏.
the level design in this game is so incredible, now I want to play unleashed again :D
The best cheapest way to play it in my opinion is on the Xbox Series X. I have it and the frame rate/graphics are beautiful. Way ahead of it’s time
Thought this was gonna be commentary not just gameplay but it does look nice and smooth
Nice build and welcome to the new 7000 series world man. Hope you are enjoying the game and pc.

Didn't know Sonic could be so excited to get electrocuted
A PC port of Unleashed is still a far dream
At this point a PC port of Unleashed would be more desirable than a new game.
@@LukeMM95 emulation is easy. Dolphin can play it at 4K pretty easily. Xbox One X and Series X can also run the 360 version in native 4K with hdr, no lag. I’ll take that new sonic game.
@@LukeMM95 “Jungle Joyride became a slideshow at times. Now, in 2022, Sonic Unleashed's full potential has been unlocked thanks to the Boost Mode on the Xbox Series S/X, bringing the game to a steady 60 FPS.”
@@partypat7229 not everyone has a xbox lol and I'm not buying one for a single game
I hope it would come to ps4/5 as well game is a masterpiece mwaah 👌
This is fantastic! It really brings out color and graphical merit of Unleashed!
The fact we're never going to get another game that looks and makes you feel like Sonic Unleashed is, however, sad.
“What would you do if you were rich?”
Me: Shows them this video
Good to see you've got your priorities straight.
What’s funny is as soon as “compiling shaders” appeared on screen, the video buffered for me LMAO
lmao perfect
This is by and far the best 3D Sonic yet. They are insane for not having ported this to PC yet. 😭
Well, blame IGN and other reviewers at the time when the game came out (especially they didn't played the full game for the review, i think it was like 4 hours), and the game was poorly optimized for PS3 and Xbox 360. I'm just wondering what kind of computers SEGA had when making this game, with the amount of polygons.
ironically, if sega ported sonic unleashed, a 60$ gpu could've done the same thing if it was on pc natively
Hopefully sega makes an unleashed ultimate, and please for the love of god sega do it the write way
@@numb4102 Or just a straight up port.
With the way Sega ports games to PC, BULL. SHIT
i wish they would make a remastered for this game like they did for colors
It’s playable in full 4K on xbox
Sonic Colors Ultimate was horrible, please never say this again
daum this voice actor for sonic fitted so well back in the day. lol
BEST SONIC GAME !!!
This game almost has no 2D segments too one of the best boost sonic games
Sonic unleashed: *takes over 5 minutes to complete a stage*
Sonic forces: “best I can do is 30 seconds”
RPCS3 is now where Dolphin was at version 4. Incredibly impressive software but there's still issues like audio hitching and you need really good hardware to run it at a playable frame rate. If they keep this up it'll be amazing.
Ah yes, gonna try the same thing when the intel i9 13900k comes out.
I'm definitely interested in seeing how the 13900k runs RPCS3! Was originally going to wait for the 13900k but caved and got this instead due to AVX512
@@Melpontro I tested it! the i9 13900K is a really HOT cpu, i needed the fans at 100% to get the full performance, very similar fps but in my case with shadows disabled lol
@@Nyonthecat I definitely think that if Intel had kept AVX512 it'd be outperforming the 7950x a lot here. Heres hoping they eventually implement it again.
Sonic Unleashed is still quite a thrill to play, even to this day. The rollercoaster feel of these levels is what made me enjoy these 3D Sonic games, no matter how bad any of them were. Sonic Generations is still my favorite 3D Sonic for its level design, while Unleashed was simple but still holds a lot of action to entertain you for a long time.
Worth it, worth every freakin cent... too bad I can't afford this lol... maybe one day but rn I'll stick to console for the unleashed experience
I once tried emulating the ps2 version of unleashed and it ran like a dream on my potato laptop, 30 fps on that thing was mind blowing
30fps is not running like a dream
@@youtubeshadowbannedme for what my laptop was at the time, that was pretty good despite its awful specs
Looks gorgeous.
I’m just asking for one, ONE sonic game that revives the unleashed rush boost formula. So sad to know this is not gonna be possible
Too bad Sonic Forces focused too much on being Sonic Colors 2 instead of more Unleashed
When I was younger, I almost beat this game. The button smasher at the end was the ONLY thing keeping me from beating it.
Remembering how long the stages are really makes me apreciate how many drugs the devs were on
What kind of joke is this?
This was one of the best games i ever played, good challenge to finish this game. Hope everyone could played it
Playing it at sub-720p on Series X is still really funny to me even if it runs great lol
dat performance tho
Wait does it not play in 4K on Series X?
@@aortaplatinum nope, it’s 720p 60fps. They probably played it safe and went for a smooth FPS.
@@Kushpeshin Woah, really?! Glad I didn't shell out for a Series X then, I thought for sure it was at least 1080 and 60. You sure you don't have like performance mode turned on or something?
@@aortaplatinum Actually, it's not even 720p, more like 880x720 ''anamorphic'' as they say. Basically means the image is stretched but I guess they applied post processing stuff so it doesn't look that bad
Man I wish I had that kinda money to spend lol
I love being in college
I'm pretty sure if you just say "being in college", the broke part is already implied.
@@imveryangryitsnotbutter lmfao damn
I do not blame you, I love Sonic Unleashed. Hope to somehow figure out how to run an emulator so that I can play this and more on my PC.
Now this is what can be called
A worthy investment
they need to remaster the game like sonic colors ultimate, unleashed will always be my fav sonic game
Is it just me or does this look more engaging than sonic frontiers ??
Thats Because it is
Sonic Frontiers offers copy paste levels with a techno filter and a dead open world. Unleashed offers lush, living stages. All they had to do was add open world to these lush stages. What we got was a rushed tech demo.
@@CoreySchulerMD word do you see how many tards are happy with this new flaming garbage to? Its the reason we will never get something like unleashed ever again
Bought a 360 back in the day just to play this game, don’t regret it. Sonic Unleashed is an under appreciated gem!
Meanwhile my laptop rips 10-25ish fps XD
Thank goodness for Series S/X.
Game looks crazy nice. 👾
Do you have AVX-512 enabled? And did you use the game's patches in the RPCS3 settings? Might improve performance on your end.
Sonic unleashed is probably the most visually impressive looking sonic games to exist frontiers could look stunning too and can’t wait to see modified graphics enhancements to it just like this
Just get a over power computer they said , who need to pay bills they said.. jokes aside if you can afford it it's awesome. Nothing wrong with console either
Was conflicted about buying a PS5 or a building a nice rig... Think I made the right choice... 😂😂😂
Probably going to buy a PS5 later anyways. Being 30 with no kids and a disposable income is awesome!
If there's one game that should be remastered for the next gen it's THIS game!
I've always been an emulation enthusiast, but my cheap Dell Vostro rig with a Quadro T400 could only emulate up to Dreamcast and some GameCube games. I spent $1100 on my 12600k, rtx 3060 build, to play 6th gen consoles at 4k. Can play 360 games at full speed at 1080p. Being able to play Cyberpunk and Elden Ring is just a plus lol.
Check out the Golden Eye Remaster on Xenia!
My favourite Sonic game of all time! Had to Subscribe 🙌
Appreciated!
Fun fact: There is an option you can check to get rid of that awful audio crackling. "Enable SPU Loop Detection". Having it on or off (depending on the PC) will either create crackling audio or completely remove it. Tested this game out way too many times, haha.
Man I love this game. Take you on that lovely Flow State ride. Day stages for this game is goated, the dragon stage was legit too 💯
Still in my opinion the best looking Sonic game
I am currently building a PC quite similar to yours to do the exact same thing. The loop holes I will go through to play this game at it's best quality.
If this is the main thing you want to play, the back compat version on Xbox can run smoother than it did on original hardware. I don't think its boost mode is as strong as Generations though, which runs full 4K 60fps on Series X.
@@prince_thomas Oh yeah I know, but I want to play this AND many other titles. I'm also very much looking forward to general RPCS3 games, my biggest "white whale" being LittleBigPlanet 2.

Sonic Unleashed is one of the best looking Sonic games. I wish it got a proper PC port.
Just such a fun game for me when I was younger. Hope they revisit this someday I enjoyed the story
It’s insane how this looks better than modern games. Especially frontiers.
PS3 players, 2008: How good would be this game on PC ??
PC player, 2022: yes.
A game ahead of its time...even modern high-end hardware can't handle it at stable 60FPS. Maybe in 2025 we'll see an officical port of it?
sonic frontiers can only dream of having levels like thses
i forgot how incredible this game was. also you gotta get your lightspeed dashes in order man, no good
One of the best sonic game ever made, so happy I bought it when I was younger loved the game
Dude it's looking insane it's soo smooth
Sonic Unleashed is still the best 3d Sonic game out of all the new generations. I'm a long time Sonic fan and I'm not getting Frontiers or any upcoming Sonic game until they match this quality.
And when you leave the room I could switch it to 1080p and you wouldn’t even notice
Good job 4k
Lolol in a response to the recession you spent 4k to get away, I ain't mad at you.
Holy shit the nostalgia hit me like a tidal wave
Amazing!!! this game is from 14 years ago but still looks amazing!!
$4000 well spent!
Honestly I don't need a pc for this game. Microsoft did a damn good job porting this game and making it run smooth as butter. Even on the series s. I remember playing this on ps now and there were so many input delays and stutters that I couldn't even play it at times. Eggman land was almost impossible to beat because of those stutters and I couldn't do speed runs on these stages. When I played it on the series s, I was able to speed run apotos stage 2 (glitchless) and manage to beat it in under 2 minutes. I was so satisfied with it. At some point I'll be replaying this game for the 50th time and getting all achievements for the first time ever, no help from youtube or nothing. I keep everything a mystery.
UA-cam revenue make this guy upgrade this build even more for free
This game looks extremely fun and beautiful. I can't believe how old it is! Just bought myself a copy on the series X, waiting for it to download!
How was it? I sincerely considering getting a Series S just for Sonic Unleashed
@@b-fenix5789the Series X version runs at a constant 60FPS and has little to no frame drops in CPU/GPU intensive levels (Jungle Joyride and Skyscraper Scamper)
I don't see where the problem is at 🤷🏾
Everything looks good here 💪🏽
I thank you random stranger on the internet, u have inspired me to make very questionable financial decisions.
Looks like I aint paying rent this month
I'm here again 1 year later. All I can say is "i9 13900k and RTX 4080 goes like brrrrr"
I love sonic games that play like this they’re so much fun
Xenia just got it’s black screen issue fixed LOL
This is gorgeous
5min. long stage, I miss this type of Sonic stages 🤧
Man, do I miss playing Unleashed... The game looks stunning as always, the gameplay still the best imo. At last, quite impressive to know that even with this massive setup of yours the game still slows down a bit at certain points, but that's probably because you were emulating it, which btw is amazing on its own since Unleashed looks absurdly heavy to make work properly. Those were some well spent 4k dollars.
Ik it’s only 720p but man I’m shocked the Series X can hold a steady 60fps. Thats pretty good.
Well at least you got your money's worth with $1 for 1 Progressive Scan
Awesome! I can never afford that but at least I can see it here on UA-cam.
