Why Does Sonic Unleashed NEED a Remaster

- With the release of Sonic X Shadow Generations, Sonic Unleashed is the one game in the series that's always been requested for a rerelease. I personally think that it's VERY important that this game gets the same treatment that Generations does. But, why? Why does Sonic Unleashed NEED a remaster?

Oh we like Unleashed now? We fuckin like Unleashed now? Can I say I told you so yet? I've been waiting 14 years to say so. Backed it up in arguments all these years.
People have a higher opinion of Sonic in general now. Mainly because the latest media has been pretty enjoyable. One thing I notice with this fanbase is our opinion of the franchise swings like a pendulum depending on the quality of each new release.
People have had a positive opinion change on Unleashed for a bit now, I think it happened a bit before Frontiers released since we had time to look back at the entire series, people just seemed to really dislike it since it came after 06, so Sonic’s reputation wasn’t great at the time
People have been giving attention to the wrong people, it seems that this changed due to the movies, Frontiers, and the Vtuber Korone. I'm so f*cking happy man
Half of this game sucks but I'd defo love to see it on modern consoles
My gamer in christ, I always liked Unleashed
Sonic Team mentioned if we show enough love, Unleashed might be next on their remaster list!
Don’t they already see it? For crying out loud, fans made Unleashed in Generations so accurate that I dread that I almost can’t tell the difference anymore.
The unfortunate thing is it'll be hard to get them to see it. They thought generations was the game that people "were really hungry for and really wanted" who was asking for a generations remaster? Lol. Unless they somehow took us saying "generations level design was better than this game" as us wanting generations
@justyouraveragegamer6142 Well, here's an argument in Sonic Generations defense, it'll be a real reality check for ya, ok? Here we go... Not everyone plays on PC... Yeah. Just because something is on PC doesn't mean it's "readily available..." For Sonic specifically, I imagine that more than or at least half the players play on console. Call them peasants all you want, that is the likely reality we live in. (I personally think PC players are the true peasants for being a bunch of gatekeeping motherf*ckers but I digress)
Not everyone has a PC with the specs to run Generations - people say a Potato can run it at 60 FPS but I have an HP laptop likely made in the last few years that struggles to run it at a steady 30fps. The gaming world does not revolve around PC players.
...That being said, there's the matter of availability on console and this is rather interesting...
Xbox players have been enjoying Sonic Generations since... well... two console Generations ago. It's been readily available via back compat for years now.
Unfortunately the 60 fps boost breaks the game, making a remaster a necessity.
On playstation, you can still pick it up on the Playstation Store on PS3
Unfortunately, as Sony is too lazy to develop PS3 emulation when the PS5 is fully capable of it, players are stuck playing it via cloud, which removes all sense of ownership, making a remaster necessary.
As for Nintendo (who makes up most of the Sonic audience)...
What about Nintendo? All they got is a shitty 3DS game! Remaster of the REAL version please!
So unbeknownst to you but beknownst to the rest of us, there are plenty of people dying for a remaster.
Case f*cking closed.
@@bitzgames bro. Why are you so mad. I never said anything about PC or implied console players were peasants. What? Lol. Never seen such an aggressive over reaction and assumption about how I perceive a group of gamers in my life. Like what? I usually play on console and just happen to have a good PC that I mostly use for more demanding games like doom or GTA. I play sonic mostly on console because it's more comfortable. Point was that most people were screaming from the rooftops for a sonic unleashed remaster because it's even less available than generations with not even a PC port at all. But it's also not even 4k on series X like gens is. Albeit with a 1080p 60fps boost. But that's it. Point was hardly anyone was asking for a gens remaster compared to unleashed. Or even sa1 and sa2 remakes. What about heroes? It needs it way more than either of them. Because is hasn't even been available with backwards compatibility since the Xbox 360 and original PS3 model. Even then you needed the disc. Other than that it's only on the platforms it launched on. And the PS2 version was horrible. Although theyd need to remake it it in a different engine. Because the renderware engine that both heroes and shadow are made it doesn't exist anymore. And hasn't for a long time. It's the same engine the GTA trilogy was made in and why those remasters were rebuilt in a new engine. They'd have to do a similar thing. But it's Probably the 2nd most likely game after unleashed next because lost world makes no sense. It's newer than gens and wasn't received well. Story book games aren't happening they weren't received well and were motion controlled Wii exclusives. Neither is 06 or shadow the hedgehog. Those games were avoided like the plague for a long time and they're only now accepting them back lore wise. Let alone remastering them and putting them back out there. Too risky business wise. They just won't do it. And the aventure games izuka wants to remake as a big project way later. And he himself has said they are old games and it would be a big undertaking they aren't ready for yet. But it's more than likely unleashed next. It would be the easiest to do. It's made in the same engine as generations and colors. And graphically and control wise and camera perspective wise. They play and look almost identical to eachother. (Gens and unleashed) Gens was literally built off unleashed framework and gameplay. It's extremely likely for next. Easiest and makes most sense. And they'd barely have to touch it up. But if they need to they can easily. Heroes it's more complicated because it's so old and the engine is non-existent now. But unleashed is definitely most likely and easiest next. But gens was definitely and odd choice for sure. Despite being the easiest and safest choice. Especially since gens doesn't really *need* it. Availability aside. It's still one of the most beautiful looking games in the franchise. And has less of a case for available than the other games I mentioned. Because the ports of sa1 and sa2 that exist are broken in ways the originals weren't. And look worse in sa1s case. Again. Never said anything to remotely call console players peasants. Especially since I mostly play console for convenience anyways. Just that it was very much a louder crowd asking for unleashed and they took it as us wanting gens. They chose gens because it was the easiest and safest choice from a business perspective. Not because most people were asking for it. Why do you think they chose colors as the first attempt? Because if it goes wrong it's still one of the 2 most well received games in the series. And they'd rather butcher colors than gens if something went wrong. Unleashed is risky from a business perspective because it was so devisive at launch. Idk where you got this PC master race argument from but just no. It's nice that it's getting a remaster. Even if I would've waited for the next Nintendo system to launch so it isn't immediately obsolete next year. But way more people were asking for unleashed. It has much more of a case for availability. And even in one of the interviews with izuka and ign. The crowd blew up screaming unleashed when asked about the next remaster. Clearly thats what is wanted by the majority. And idk if you notice but just about everyone covering what izuka said about gens being what people wanted, were confused how he thinks that when so many people were asking for unleashed because it needs it more. in the same way I was. It's not just me. No where did I say anything about PC or belittle console players. Like chill out bro. 😂 I literally have gens on everything it's playable on. Apart from a series X. Because I don't want one. I play gens on 360. Xbox one, PS3 and PC. But mostly on Xbox one because it's easier. And Xbox one is in the top 10 most sold consoles of all time. More than SNES somehow. Alot of people have Xbox ones. Not about a 3rd of people have a series X. It's not doing very well. So Gens is very available compared to unleashed only having a PS3 version that runs horribly. A 360 version. And backwards compatibility. And heroes has nothing unless you own a 360 and even then it has emulation issues. And in regards to PS3 emulation on PS5. The PS3 is incredibly difficult to emulate because the hardware architecture was so weird. Games even at the time had issues on the PS3 performance wise because people didn't know how to make games for it. It was too complicated. That's why sonic 06 despite coming to PS3 later than Xbox, ran and looked way worse. And why most games look and run better on Xbox 360. Despite it being less powerful. Emulating PS3 on PC even requires twice as many resources than running Xenia does for 360. Because it's so complicated. And even then rpcs3 has a LOT of issues. I have a very good PC. And even just running a game on rpcs3 actively uses 80-100% of my CPU at all times. Where Xenia takes like 20%. PS3 emulation just isn't there. It's too complicated because the PS3 barely even worked how people wanted it to natively back then. And also. Having an "HP laptop" doesn't tell me anything. There are hundreds of laptops made by hp of varrying levels of age and power. Just because something is new doesn't mean it's powerful. They make budget components just as much as high end ones. But any laptop made in the last 10 years should run gens. It's a game from over 10 years ago. Your laptop is either horribly infested with viruses. Extremely old. Or way too full and bloated storage wise. My laptop is so old it has a 4th gen i3 in it. And 4gb of ddr3 ram. The current standard is ddr5. And according to steam. Most people have 16gb. My laptop sucks. And it's 10 years old. Runs gens just fine. Even if your laptop was an extremely budget machine from say 5 years ago. Say it had 4gb of ddr4 ram and no GPU. Just running off the integrated graphics of a 9th gen i3 (very cheap and low budget at the time) it would still run fine. Because it would be several generational gaps above my laptop which also has no GPU. And running off 4th gen i3 integrated graphics. So it has to be old dude. And there's nothing wrong with that. Again. Console players aren't "peasants" and that's silly. And not everyone has amazing pcs. It's expensive. I only have one because i had no other expenses living with my parents when I had my first job a few years back so I could just spend all my money on my PC. I was lucky. But even an extremely low end laptop should be able to handle it if it's not ancient. Especially on the lowest settings. And my laptop can't even run Minecraft at 720p anymore. Not your fault. Just telling you your laptop is simply old and that's why it doesn't run great. But most people with any sort of computer or laptop can run gens just fine. My laptop was only 200 bucks 10 years ago and it ran. I'm sorry dude but if your laptop can't run a 13 year old game that ran at max graphics on 2006 hardware. Then it's just an old laptop. Most people aren't gonna have that issue with any budget computer from the last 10 years
@justyouraveragegamer6142 Sorry I got so heated, I'm just sick of hearing people say "who asked for this" lol. My PC is Windows 10 by the way, the game still runs like shit. I got it used from a game store for 80 bucks, they literally told me nothing about what I was getting. I have 4 gigs of RAM, AMD Radeon HD Graphics, Quad Core CPU. Just because its Windows 10 doesn't mean its not old, signs all point to it being a windows 7 or 8 PC upgraded to Windows 10... judging by how slow it gets after not using it for prolonged periods and the fact that Windows Update makes it literally unusable for a couple hours, im inclined to think you are right. Ill look at it when I get home so I can tell you more... I'm not knocking PC Gaming, just the gamers who gatekeep and claim they are better than console players, calling them peasants. (I've ran into and seen others on UA-cam saying things like that. Very uncouth.) Until I get a viable rig myself (or a Steam Deck, which is likely what I'm going to get next) I will always be resentful toward certain portions of the PC gaming community. Sorry, but I've been laughed at and kicked out of groups for being stuck with underpowered laptops that can't keep up.
Hope they will surprise us with this remastered/remake 😮
Unleashed is my favorite sonic game, its my favorite interpretation of Sonic and his world ever. It's such a shame Unleashed is hard to get your hands on if you don't have an Xbox or ps3, a remaster would be great
Completely agree with you. This was my first sonic game, and possibly my favorite game of all time. And all I ask from Sega is a remaster from this game 🙏
Same bro
The Werehog is incredible & I'm soo happy you've acknowledged the capabilites of it.
Style & substance interwined to create the most satisfying combat in any Sonic game, including Frontiers, which had foregone most substance for 95% style.
The werehog is NOT incredible. It’s mediocre at best
@@bluefire9285someone didn't do cool combos
How the hell did they cook this good in 2008 with that BOOST and that Hedgehog Engine DAMN
Sonic x silver unleashed
An alternate universe where dark Gaia starts to resurface in the future and silver has to stop it
Nah I'd just take the original
Way too fan servicey, no thanks
At this point it rather be a new game,but I prefer a lot of fan stuff more than official
@@ZAK-fz5zvthat’s the point it’s like Shadow Generations
Would they bring back Pete Capella in that case?
Yeah, I actually like the Werehog parts. Just another gameplay to master while loving the Sonic series
Not to mention all understood all the changes you mentioned, everyone did it. Hit or miss🤷🏾♂️
The werehog parts are my favorite part of the game personally, I love the playstyle and its a good change of pace
@@Chombo_vrrr exactly. It was something new and loved it!
Honestly if Sega really went all out, they need to add a Knuckles campaign to the remaster. In the Archie unleashed storyline knuckles is a big part of it and is connected to light gaia plus just imagine giving Knuckles similar combat to the werehog it could work well
I'm probably one of few Unleashed fans that likes the Werehog stages more than the Daytime stages, at least on the HD version. Some can drag out a little bit, but I do enjoy them more. This is partially because the Daytime stages were kind of early with the boost formula and it feels that way. Like it wasn't fully developed. I also am not a big fan of the last few levels and the progression of the game. If they can fix all that with a remaster, like maybe change how you progress a little bit and also add infinite lives (as an option), that would greatly improve things.
I would recommend metal gear rising to you
Really its almost the same just faster and with a sword
Have you played the other version? I enjoyed the PS2 version more because it didn't drag like the HD version (enemies didn't have that much health and there were almost no QTEs)
Regarding the boost formula, I still think Unleashed was the best implementation of it, but the drift was better in PS2 too (also the final boss)
@CC-ks6nm not really bro the night time stages in the ps2 verison are more of a drag and took too much spaces which in that version has way more nighttime stages than daytime stages compared to to the PS3 and xbox version were there was a complete balance between the night time and daytime stages and also as someone played the the HD versions a lot the nighttimes don't really drag very long unless your that impatient and also the werehog does move pretty fast but not sonic fast and the QTEs not that bad at all in fact there really fun and adds more to thr gameplay so long as you have good reflexes especially in the boss fights which do give me god of war vibe in a good way especially with the egg dragoon and honestly hd versions are waaaay more superior but do think the dark gaia boss fight in the PS2 version was kinda cool but i liked the hd one more 😗
@CC-ks6nm and also its really dumb complain about the enemies health in game when you clearly get stronger by upgrading and do all sorts of moves in the hd verison like come on bro its hack and slice 101 also upgrade your attacks and get better moves and do plenty of combos it's not that hard to do and also lack of health on the enemies and QTES makes the PS2 version less fun and the forced tutorials and the hub worlds in that are lame in that version and you can't explore in it either nor get to skip it so you can play the levels like in the hd versions 😐
I think a cool idea for an unleavened remaster would be to add silver as a playable character. And he can have gameplay similar to the werehog, focusing on combat and puzzles, rather than fast paced speed levels.
Put the HD remaster on Playstation and Xbox. Then put the SD remaster on Switch. Probably for the best considering the switch can't handle a remastered HD version as well. We'd get both versions of the game in the best way possible when you think about it.
They could make an option to turn off the battle theme or at least readjust it for the big battles instead of EVERY GOD DAMN ENEMY
World: a bee goes out of the hive for pollen.
also world: INTESE JAZZ BATTLE THEME
Am I the only one who doesn’t have an issue with the battle music? Like really, I’ve been playing Unleashed since I was a kid (mainly the Wii version) and I had no issue with it.
thought this channel was way bigger the editing in this is really good
Your explanation for the Werehog existing, albeit correct, is missing a key detail, one that has applied to every game with the boost gameplay. The Werehog was created as a way to extend the length of the game (as well as the medals and hub worlds, though to a lesser degree). As proven by games like Colors, Forces and Generations, who both have gameplay additions to extend the length as well, still last about 3 to 5 hours versus Unleashed which is about 10 to 20. Funnily enough, Frontiers did this too but with the boost gameplay instead, as the main focus is now the open zone design.
Regardless, I really like Sonic Unleashed. It's my favorite Sonic game, and has what I consider to be the best alternative playstyle in the entire series: The Werehog. He's really well designed, even if it clashes and contrasts the daytime stages (which is the point), and really fun to play.
Is actually really funny seeing people saying "Oh the werehog is too button mashy" and then they complain when they die too much
It just occurred to me that we have not gotten any sort of remaster from the 4kids era voice actors of Sonic games. I wonder if that would have a slight influence on their decision making with any rights issues or compensation for the previous va's or if they think it would confuse modern fans. Idk, just something to think about.
I've always loved Sonic Unleashed, it IS my favorite Sonic game after all. Not only that this game is as old as I am! So obviously my first experience with it was on the Xbox One. I definitely had a bit of a hard time understanding why some don't like the game, and now it seems people will have a tough time understanding why I don't like Generations.
From walkthroughs of Sonic Unleashed, I already know then and there and this game is truly a masterpiece. If they were to make a remaster, some things need to be fixed. Firstly, the medals. Daytime stages are all about reaching the goal in the blink of an eye which doesn’t fit well with medal and/or collectible searching. I believe that Sonic, both in Hedgehog and Werehog, should earn medals in stages based on his performance, ergo the rank he obtains from each stage; locations for collectibles like recordings and vhs should follow the same format as Red Star Rings in future games. Second, they really need to work on Sonic’s status because collecting EXP is difficult enough as it is, especially for the Werehog stats. Therefore, I recommend that they use a skill tree just like in Frontiers.
Having a remaster of Unleashed is going to be a revolution in the Sonic franchise, and I look forward to the day when it can be played in PS5, which I haven’t gotten but wished to have once a remastered Unleashed is launched
i swear when sonic unleashed came out people hated the game and now people want it to be remastered. glad i loved the game since the beginning
They just need to add more stages to generations including full on unleashed day stages and I gladly pay anything for that dlc
Sonic unleasheds framrate on the 360 looks like a slide show sometimes, gotta do something with the game
It really just needs a port more than anything it already looks great and is pretty polished
i mean at least a remaster can upscale the graphics as well as having the game run at a constant 60fps on playstation for the first time
It does kinda need a remaster as the werehog could use some changes to make it more enjoyable
I think the Sonic Unleashed Remaser should be called: "Sonic Unleashed: World Adventure Remastered" as a call back to Sonic Unleashed being called "sonic World Adventure" in Japan for some reason besides it's actually a world Adventure! I think they should remaster the HD Xbox 360 Version and remake the Wii version. Like contain it as 2 games like selecting which version you want to play like selecting which game in Mario 3d world & Bowser's Fury you want to play. The HD version should be called "Unleashed Mode" Version and the Wii version should be called "World Adventure" Mode. You can select which version of unleashed you want to play. the Remastered HD version or a remade version of the wii version, Mario 3D world X Bowser's Fury style of game selection as a package. The same thing goes for Sonic X Shadow Generations. Like Mario 3d world and bowser's fury, you can select weather you want to play Sonic generations first, or Shadow Generations! nOW THE wII FANS WHO HAVENT PLAYED THE hd VERSION CAN EXPERIENCE THE HD version. Same goes for the people who played the Xbox HD version can also experience the WII version as well. It's a win win for everybody right??? Right.....????
Edit: The modders might go crazy with Mods for Sonic Unleashed WAR PC version can go crazy with mods. And people can play them on all modern consoles. PS5, PS4, Xbox One and sERIES ( Better not delist the OG Unleashed on tghe Xbox Series) and of course, nintendo switch (If SEGA could figure out the performance issues for the switch!) This might be SEGA's biggest budget for a Sonic Game ever.
Honestly i think it’s highly likely, they want to do more remasters based on what the fans want and unleashed is by far the one we want most. Just give it a couple years.
a better name, like sonic x shadow unleashed ultimate & knuckles
Haven't watched the video yet, but I either want a remake or remaster with additional content... That's because of the PS2 content, the gaia temples, the day stages and the final boss were amazing there.
Also, I don't dislike the Werehog but make the fights faster and QTEs need to die, the Egg Dragoon fight on PS2 was amazing
We don't need a Remaster of Unleashed we just need a port of the FPS Boosted Xbox Series X/S Version and maybe make the Werehog faster, fix the Grabbing reticle so it actualy works, make Medal Collecting Optional for those who don't like it and make Sonic's Hub World speed the same as his Day Time Stages, that's all we need, no easier QTE's or altering the Werehog level Design, and make a Deluxe Edition that come with all DLC Packs too
That’s pretty much a Remaster at that point dude. A port would just be putting the game on newer console with no changes what so ever.
What about us PlayStation users?
@@phantomthiefjoker1171 We don’t exist..
@@phantomthiefjoker1171 They should make it for all current Gen Consoles maybe PS4 too that would be nice
This game always surprised me back in the day, The visuals, The Gameplay were all way ahead of it's time, being able to Boost through the levels at high speeds, and Bash Dark Gaia Enemies was something i feel should have been more appreciated at the time, The CGI Cutscenes were the best looking ones visually although they are only seen from beginning to end, they will remain as the best In game CGI Cutscenes of all time (At the very least in my eyes), though I'm a little disappointed that they haven't went in this direction for future Sonic Games
The Werehog Stages were perhaps what i enjoyed more about the game, although slower to beat, they felt like a nice little break from the Day stages especially with the harder Day stages later on, being able to unlock more Werehog Skills always felt satisfying as you always had an expanding variety of moves to use, The Unleash Meter was something i liked the most about it, being able to plow through enemies effortlessly run faster and Negate most forms of damage was something was always the part that i always enjoyed about the night stages
Day stages, While fast and Difficult this is where Sonic's speed shined the most especially in Arid Sands, The Slo-Mo Effects always looked really cool however i always found the Later Day QTEs Really Difficult especially the Later ones where it's Required to Complete it to progress through the stage, i always find myself struggling on 5 Button QTE's and even the Multi-set ones where you have to Complete Multiple Sets of QTEs to get the best results but overall i did enjoy speeding through the Stages like it was no Tomorrow, this is what i feel every Boost Game should be or Should have been instead of what we ended up getting throughout the years
The fact this game is STILL stuck on Console, it would be a sin to Delay, or if it did NOT get an official PC Release, with this remaster (If it ever comes out) I'm curious as to what they might add to the game, Maybe an Old Werehog Concept Skin, Much like what SEGA did with Classic Sonic in Superstars and Shadow in the Upcoming game
Whatever they could bring to the table with this remaster i have high hopes on the games remaster and i sure hope SEGA Cooks something amazing with it when the time comes
1. Best sonic game
2. Werehog is fun if u can get past being “slow”
Source: me
I just want a PC version/console port with the vetter performance, resolution and the higher quality beta G.I. and textures for only $20, not even a full-on remaster.
I remaster or remake would be so sick like literally the best version to play unleashed now is the Xbox one and series x/s version
Can't even play it on ps anymore you guys lucky 😂
Why not, if there is 2 versions of a game, making a remaster of thoses 2 games like a mashup ?
It was my hope for Sonic Colors Ultimate and they haven't done it, especially considering that the DS version of Colors was way better in comparison ,v,
I played the water down Unleshed years ago and now I'm play the actul version. The Werehog stages are long yeah but now i have the power to Piledriver my enemies.
If I were Sonic Team and was able to remaster this game, I'd do the following:
- 60 FPS boost as is on current gen of consoles (constant as well, maybe support for higher framerates)
- No Denuvo (I wish)
- M-Speed/D-Speed angles taken from Generations (tighter, but not impossible to reach)
- Patch Interceptor Glitch (or at least, avoid triggering it just by resetting in one of those zones)
- Patch Break Glitch (it just crashes the game for going too fast in original hardware)
- Keep the details and effects from the X360 version
- Put the final bossfight from Unwiished instead of the one from X360/PS3
- Divide Eggmanland as is on Unwiished, while allowing the player to play the entire thing as one level if they want a challenge or extra unlockable
- Add the final Act and reward for 100% Unwiished (because no reward on X360 is a bit lame in comparison)
- Add all of the DLC stages either for free (adding onto the port's price) or let them be proper unlockables inside the game
- Add the Sun/Moon requirements from Unwiished into the normal game (the Sun/Moon gates, but you have to collect them as in the X360 version).
- Swap homing attack from Boost button to Jump button, as is on Colors, Gens, 4 I&II and Forces
- Low loading times, as in Series X.
Probably not perfect and I'd angry a lotta people for patching/nerfing speedrun tricks, but I think it'd be a fair trade-off.
the most Underrated youtuber i seen in a while
12:43 Jokes on you i dont have one!
If Sonic Unleashed is to get a Sonic X Shadow Generations treatment there's one thing I want to see. The return of the old voice actors, Lisa Ortiz as Amy, Amy Plant as Tails, Dan Green as Professor Pickle, and my man Jason Griffith as Sonic.
Imagine if they remaster sonic adventure 1 and 2 but give it an anime like style 😮
I just created an account to leave my comment.
When Sonic Unleashed came out, i remember been watching videos about the gameplay but my dumb kid brain didn't realise i was watching a Xbox gameplay. I was atonished about how good the game looks, specially the hub world, i really loved how it looked because it reminded me the adventures titles. Anyway... I only had a Wii... So... I bought the game for the Wii and when i got home and put it on my Wii... I got very disappointed by how it looked haha! I tought; ''well, at leats I still can explore the hub worlds'' (oh, boy, i was so naive...). Not gonna lie, compared to the HD version, it was really bad. I only manage to finish the game 1 time (not even 100%) and never played it again.
About the HD version, I have never ever played the HD version of this game, but, since released, I allways belive that it was a great game and it's my favorite despite all the hate from years and beside I have never play the HD version.
Anyway... I'm now very happy that people are realizing how good this game was.
Maybe on of these days I will able to finally play this game on all his glory.
Interesting choice to replace you game cases with blu ray cases
If they ever do remake/remaster Unleashed (which I highly doubt will happen) they should also bring over the Wii/PS2 version of the game since that version is criminally over looked when talking about this game. That version is also considered better in some aspects such as the night stages being split into multiple acts allowing you to take breaks if you need/want, this version also allows you to freely explore the Gaia Temples which are all unique and allow you to hear the “Gaia Gate” theme in full rather than in just one cutscene for 5 seconds. And, you aren’t forced to collect Sun/Moon Medals to progress through the game.
@@ToonyTails id argue the night stages in the Wii and PS2 version are substantially worse and that the day stages are debatably better depending how you look at it. The werehog on Wii and PS2 doesn't have a proper upgrade or combat system. It's just different versions of alternating L R in different patterns. Or square and triangle on PS2. There's no actual combos or choice on what gets upgraded. On the HD version if you pour all your exp into the combat stat on the werehog you unlock pages upon pages of combos that actually make the werehog interesting and fun. Different combos are more effective on different enemy types. Instead of just spamming the same 2 basic combos and wondering why it's boring. Most people make the mistake of upgrading sonic and not touching the werehog when upgrading sonic barely does anything. I'd much rather play longer levels with better controls and actual substance than 10-15 minute levels where I'm bored out of my mind waiting for it to end. Progression is better in the Wii version because medals are auto unlocked by rank. But it lacks hub worlds. The extra missions. The dlc. And is missing 2 entire continents. There's no empire city at all. And no actual stages in mizuri. Just a boss. It's lacking content. And the night stages are just boring with no combos to keep it interesting. And eggmanland I honestly vastly prefer on HD. Is it hard? Yes. Very. Especially on a first run. But once you get good at the game it's an incredible stage that tests your reflexes and doesn't let you just do the bare minimum. What took me an hour my first try only takes me 20 minutes now. And honestly the werehog stages only take like 10 minutes if it's upgraded. The Wii version however cuts eggman land into like 4 or 5 acts. Which ends up taking longer than it does on HD versions total. And the final boss on HD is frankly just way cooler imo. But that's debatable. I prefer the sheer difficulty of getting up to dark Gaia as chip and switching to sonic for a race against the clock which is more demanding than wiis clock. And the actual super sonic boss is much cooler to me since you have free roam over the entire area and not just going left and right to collect rings to lay a blow. The only thing I think might genuinely be better about Wii is the progression and maybe the day stages because the threshold for an S rank on Wii is incredibly strict. As it only goes by time. Not score. HD factors in everything. But Wii is just time. Making it incredibly satisfying to achieve that S rank because you know you are incredibly good at the movement to get it. But I find the night stages to pale in comparison on Wii. Like I said. Barely any shorter of stages. Sometimes taking more time between night and day anyway. And the combat system consisting of LRL or RLR for everything. Instead of a whole list of combos that keeps it interesting fun and visually stimulating. Plus it's not the same voice lines over and over like it is on Wii where every combo is "Ha. Huya. Ha. Rrrraa" in that exact order every single time. It gets super annoying. Plus the movement on the HD werehog is just plain better. You have more control. More abilities. Waaaaaay more combos that actually serve a specific purpose. And you can do a lot of cool skips with those combos. There's actually a skip on eggman land. That requires a certain combo to be unlocked. There's a combo you can do on the HD version to do a couple punches mid-air, and then thrust yourself forward and up. If you use that combo about a quarter of the way through eggman land. There's a path up above you that you can skip to that you can't get to anyway else. And it skips over a whole day segment and a whole night segment. You can use that same strategy in a lot of places throughout the game. Pretty much any night stage has a spot where you could utilize that to skip over a platforming section or use it to save you last minute. The werehog is just genuinely extremely fun on HD if you actually play around with the combos and learn the movement. But if you don't like learning combos, and just generally don't like fighting games, it's not going to be any fun to you. But I don't generally like fighting games. I play smash Bros but that's about it. And yet I still found the HD versions werehog to be substantially more interesting and fun because of it. Whereas on Wii I'm just alternating one of two buttons. Memorizing and pulling off something like XYXBBA for example is much more satisfying and does a lot more visually and damage wise than just. RLR L+R. God help you if you play with Wii remote and nunchuck where the homing attack is done by shaking the remote. And all the combat is done by alternating left and right shakes.
@@justyouraveragegamer6142 I don’t care enough about the Werehog to experiment with all the various combos and such. I mean I still would upgrade the combos and strength of the Werehog and “attempt” to use them in combat but I’m not dedicated enough to it to really get good at it. The hub worlds I can go with or without, I don’t really care about that either. The simple menu selection allows you to get to stages quicker which is the bulk of the game and what people come to play it for. And having up to 20-25 mins for a single night stage on a blind/1st time playthrough is too long for a single stage imo. The Wii version’s shorter 5-7 min stages broken up into various acts is much more digestible imo. In the final boss, you don’t have “free roam” movement across the screen, you’re locked to a 2D plane and the way you attack the weak points is super finicky and annoying. And the rest of phase 2 is just a boring QTE-fest with a stupidly annoying part at the end in which you have to press X/Square 60 times in less than minute. That’s a run killer if you’re going for an S rank and can actually cause pain and stress if you try too hard. (Which that certainly did for me when I got to that part.) which a lot of people tend to do when in stressful/competitive situations. See the Mario Party 2(I think) incident for an example. Also the “motion mash” combat when using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck control scheme can be fun and somewhat immersive. I remember playing a lot with that play style as a young kid, and I probably still would if I still had a working Nunchuck.
You know what the remake could do like you could fly towards dark Gaia as light Gaia and then you do hand to hand combat against him to weaken him then you can have Sonic hit his three eyes multiple times while light Gaia does the same thing and for one more thing you can switch between super Sonic and light Gaia will you have supersonic destroy the shield and then you have him do qtes to free chip and then you can have Sonic hit his seven eyes and then light Gaia will len his own Energy to Sonic to finish off dark Gaia for good or at least put it back to sleep and maybe for post-game stuff you can play at Sonic's friends in the hub world and maybe have them have their own levels as well play as Amy knuckles or tails
@@JustinJulian-00 That would be a great combination of the 2 versions for a boss fight. In fact there was an old video by Jacktheinfinite that tried illustrating the same idea.
Yes Sonic Unleashed getting a Modern Port would be splendid, that game is amazing not sure if Sega does though. They always make weird calls on the Blue Blur.
A remaster would be good also but if not, they need to port it to PS5 & PC so anyone can play instead of having to buy an Xbox
DAWN OF THE DRAGON MENTIONED
I really hope that they remaster Unleashed for PC and modern consoles. My reason is because I'm currently stuck with only the Wii version (any amount of other people possibly are too) and can only play it on my Wii-U console through backwards compatibility because my Wii console is busted and I'd like to play the HD version but I don't have any of the consoles that that version of Unleashed is playable on. It's easy to believe that trying to buy an expensive old used console for just 1 game would turn out to be a waste of time and money if they do decide to make a remastered version of Unleashed. So if they do agree on doing it, then I'll try to get that -whatever the name of it would be- version. Please may this happen so that everyone who wants it to happen can be satisfied.
PS, Fun fact: some of the locations that are in Unleased were originally planned to be in Sonic 06 but the production trouble of that game prevented Sonic Team from being able to manage doing that.
I played the PS2 and Xbox 360 Versions Of Unleashed back in 2020-2021, the XBOX 360 version still feels like a Brand new Next-Gen Sonic Experience,somehow.
after I played the HD Version, My Xbox 360 just conveniently stopped working, so now I'm stuck with the PS2 VERSION 😭
Just a port to all latest consoles and PC whould be fine by me
That's what I'm SAYING
And did you know someone is making a fan game out of this it's called Sonic unleashed PC Plus and this is just a demo right now but this is like if Sonic unleashed was available for PC if you can't emulate the PS3 or Xbox versions of it
I think what the Werehog really needs is a speed boost. It's fun but feels so slow. I want him to walk and attack faster. Just like Nintendo gave 3D World on Switch a speed boost.
I would still like to see the day stages from the Wii version included as like a bonus
I think it'll be much better if they include the seven Gaia temples as the part of the hub world and also using the Sun and Moon metals to unlock those extra doors for the Gaia temples either to collect art capsules or some more sun and moon metals and did you know that in the Wii version of the game you don't have to collect them in game you just need an s rank to get them
My number 1 sonic game
I’d like a port
Real
Sonic Unleashed needs a port with graphical UPGRADES, not change them, like making resolutions for stuff better and whatnot
They need to get rid of the medal progression system and it'll be a much better game
2:47 and all of wherehog levels to the absolute noobs I love wherehog more than modern and eggmanland toom
BECAUSE IM SO TIRED OF RIPPING MY BALLS OFF WHILE TRYING TO EMULATE THIS GAME WITHOUT IT CONSTATNTLY CRASHING, AND EGGMAN HAVING NO MOUSTACHE
Yeah ps3 emulation doesnt even run good on a 5800x3d and probably needs a 7800x3d for a stable 30fps+
- Poor performance
- Boost and homing attack on same button
- Limited lives
- werehog movement is clunky
- medals are required to progress
Best Sonic game. I need PS3/Wii version remastered.
Yeah or at least combine the Wii version of it with the Xbox version of it then you got the better of both worlds while are removing some things from it that are not beneficial
I really like the Werehog stages, I don't mind the game becoming a Sonic game and a mini God of War game lol. But if I had to change some things about Unleashed are the damn medals. Jungle Joyride needed like what? 120 sun medals to play? Also didn't like the hotdog missions literally playing the same thing over and over again, also the side missions were dumb. Lastly, make the homing attack not the boost but the jump button.
We don't need a Sonic Unleashed remake/remaster... it's already amazing on Xbox Series S/X in 4k60fps. What we really need is a remake/remaster of Sonic 06 and YES, I like that game AND the kiss too. I don't give a fuck about the world's opinion 🤦♀💀
That's just factually wrong.
Playing Sonic Unleashed on a Series X/S only offers a boost to 60fps, the game still runs at its native 720p, that's the case for all the boosted Xbox 360 games.
Also 06 is less in need of an official remaster thanks to the PC fan remake Project 06, genuinely an amazing fan project that I feel would still be better than any official remake Sega could put out.
@@_BBAGG_ you're both partially wrong. Gens on series X gets a 4k 60fps boost. Unleashed only gets a full 1080p HD 60fps buff up from 720p. There are other games that get the 4k 60fps treatment. But only a handful. Most backwards compatible games run the same way they did back in the day. But around 20 get the full 4k treatment. Some of them break because of animations or mechanics relying on locked 30fps tho. Like the last chemical plant shortcut in gens killing you instead of launching you where you're supposed to go. On PC it breaks too. But it doesn't kill you it just locks the camera in a 2D perspective for the rest of the level somehow. But that particular shortcut breaks in 60fps. Kind of like how the old fallout games and Skyrim all run at double the speed they're supposed to if ran at 60fps. The entire game will run in double time because the engine is so old that it relies on a locked frame rate to run at the correct speed. Otherwise literally everything in the game will run at double time and it's kind of funny. But either way we need an unleashed remaster because it's not on PC at all. And the PS5 is not backwards compatible with the PS3 and probably never will be. Because the PS3s architecture was so complicated that even back then people didn't know how to make games for it. Games that were multiplatform on PS3 either looked worse, ran worse, had bugs that weren't on the Xbox version, or in some rare cases were completely broken compared to the Xbox version. (Like sonic 06 was.) Sonic 06 is the perfect example honestly. The graphics are substantially worse on PS3. Despite it being more powerful. For example in crisis City, none of the buildings have reflective textures on the glass it's just a single matte color. Whereas on Xbox all the glass has reflections and the level in general runs better despite looking better. Or how none of the trees in the mach speed section of wave ocean have shadows on PS3, at least most of them don't, on 360 they all have shadows and it looks really good. The PS3 version also generally has washed out colors. Shadow looks more gray on PS3 than he does the pitch black that he does on Xbox. Point being PS3 development back then was extremely difficult because of the architecture. Most games were made for 360 because it was easier and it had sold a lot more in the first half of its life. and then ported to PS3 with mixed results. So backwards compatibility is probably a complete no-go. Unleashed shouldn't only be readily available to Xbox players. Especially since the series X has only sold 20 some million units. Genuinely closer to Wii U sales than any other Xbox. The PS5 has more than doubled that. And the switch has dwarfed both of them. Xbox hasn't been doing very good this generation sales wise. Unleashed needs to be on something besides that console
@@justyouraveragegamer6142 Ah, that's cool to know, thanks for the info
If it dont get one announced by next year I'm buying the xbox version and 100% it. I wanted to do an s rank playthrough of eggmandland. I have but its not on my yt because I cant record on ps3
yes, obviously, not just because I didn't experience it on PS3
People who dont like the wherehog need to try metal gear rising to understand its beauty
Yes I think it’s a great idea
Am I the only one who loved night levels ?
Nah I talked about how much I like them :D
@@ShempOfficial Glad to know I am not alone friend ! Just restored my 360 to play it again
My dream
I want because the return of werehog sonic
I respect unleashed for what it did, but it's very flawed: the controls are very dlippery compared to future daytime syages, the werehog is too long, the medal collecting is some of the worst forced collecting I've seen in any game and the story and hubworlds don't add that much to the game.
If sega pours money in a remastered it would ve seen more as a novelty than actually something to seek out day one. I don't think we need one
I would love to see Unleashed get ported after Generations, at this point it's long overdue
Also you're right about the werehog, when I first played through the HD version I had tons more fun playing as him cause I prioritized upgrading the combat, trying out a bunch of different combos made playing through those levels much more enjoyable. I do think one problem I have with the platforming in those sections is that there isn't really a shadow to indicate where you're gonna land so you just gotta pray, so if a remaster happens I hope there's like an indicator or something, like how Crash 4 does it. I also do hope they reduce the Sun and Moon medal requirements, on top of making them easier to spot cause the medal hunting is the one biggest flaw unleashed has in my eyes.
In terms of extra content, if they do something like Shadow Generations, I would love to see a Knuckles or Silver campaign that plays alongside the Unleashed story, but for Sonic Unleashed itself, I'd like to see skins like they've been doing since Frontiers
Sonic x knuckles unleashed
Sonic Unleashed and Knuckles
@@1upGaming1up yes
God I would love a proper PC version 😭
There is a demo of this for right now is call Sonic unleashed PC Plus and it's already been made by someone else that is not Sega
Bro u look like banana milk supersonic
That's so real
Bro i can't buy a ps5
It doesn't need a remaster. It was a largely unsuccessful game that is only fun to play for one third of the length of the game (daytime Sonic). Leave it be.
Sonic x shadow unleashed
You look like the chick from wendys
I will always consider Unleashed SA3. Fight me
No, Sonic unleashed is overrated and so is jason griffith as sonic
If they remastered it, that would mean bringing back the Hot Dog missions... And as someone who just recently finally got all achievements for this game. Im gonna give a MASSIVE... HELL NO... Those blasted missions just destroyed my want to ever touch this game again...
So a .new. generation
Can
Experience
