Sonic Adventure 2 Comparingson (DC vs GC)

[dravenroughnecks]

Ahhh I see what you did there he added a force pause to the video when he does CC I also love how the Dreamcast can play back any gamecube game effectively and it's a last gen console compared to the gamecube. Problem nintendo?

[blazecharizardzx]

@Kimarnic

[trekker123eski]

Dreamcast looks better.

[kutlessrocker23]

Why do I think of Vegeta from DBZ when I see Shadow?

[HedgeHogger312]

The Dreamcast is much better. The Gamecube has better models, but thats only becuase they had eight more months to rerelease it.

The Dreamcast also runs at a full 60 frames per second, while the Gamecube only runs at 30, which was very evident if you looked closely the Gamecube was not as fluid as the Dreamcast was.

The Dreamcast also had better lighting especially in levels like Iron Gate and Egg Quarters when the light is pulsing all over the screen, in the Gamecube the room only flashes.

[MasterGoomba103]

@HedgeHogger312 They were probably trying to avoid seizures

[HedgeHogger312]

@MasterGoomba103 HeHe maybe. I think its a shame the stopped supporting it though, it probably would have done better, if they just waited maybe a year or two before they discontinued it.

[supersonix56]

mine too

[legozombie9000]

Whats dreamcast ?

[Kimarnic]

@legozombie9000 left

[umbreon9003323]

i don't know about dreamcast but since i actually have the one for gamecube i like it better

[SiLeNtDo0m]

DC version for the most part is better, but GC version definitely has higher model quality. Look at Shadow's hands and ears in particular.

[Lostprophetzzz]

why does the older weaker console have the better graphics?

nintendo please try harder next time.

[Unmatchable3]

dreamcast has better graphics picture quality everything

[shadowkid1993]

there was one big fault with the gamecube version.

everytime i did the egg golem boss instead of jumping sonic immediately did a homing attack killing me like 80 times in a row.

[CloudXDP]

@shadowkid1993 Holy shit! Someone else with my problem.

[1UnderKable]

DC version is much more detailed.

[ChocoToken]

@1UnderKable ; And that's what so ironic about this!

[SupaKoopaKid64]

Quick question for computer experts:

What causes the blurriness and sharpness of the graphics? I never really got that. Are bytes used to focus the visuals or something?

[dragonballzreborn123]

1 moreden 1 classic

[TheTKC64]

The immediate difference is the rounded ears of the GameCube version since the polygon count is higher. There's also noticeable texture differences, Especially if you pause at 0:39 and 0:55. 

[ShaunCarlin]

funny, i was just thinking i would love to see a DC and GC comparison of sonic adventure 2 and imagined watching this scene, I've never typed that into youtube and it recommended it to me.....youtube gets recomendations for you with mind reading?! :O

[awesomeriki]

yeah...... i think dc is better too

[GoGojiraGo]

I have to say this, SA2 was the worst-looking of the 3-D games. The character models are ugly, the textures look weird, the mouths are creepy, they move and jerk like they're having spasms in the cutscenes, and the stages are both too detailed and too bland.

[Legendairyman9]

@GoGojiraGo I read that the reason for the "creepy" mouths is because they are sat to match the japanese voices. The english voices were just recorded over. So if you were to play the japanese voices, they would fit with the mouths. Same goes for Sonic Aventure.

[GoGojiraGo]

@Legendairyman9 Maybe, but except for Eggman the mouths barely move, and they're always showing their teeth. Plus having them in the center instead of on one side is just... ehgh, it looks bad on Sonic characters. Adventure at least had active animated mouths that closed when they weren't talking.

[Legendairyman9]

@GoGojiraGo I don't mean to bash your opinion but SA1 mouths were freaking insane! The would just move wherever and open up so wide. They would also always still be moving when no one was talking. I played the GC version so maybe it looks better or worse. They don't match for the english they are speaking. I see where your coming at for the mouths not being on the side though. But I think it looked better in SA2 than SA1.

[dragonballzreborn123]

sonic AND shadow genarshins

[TheGoblinaro]

I prefer Dreamcast model throughout most of this video.

[KyleAB5000]

DC - Better lighting/shader effects

GC - Higher polygon count - more detailed models

[ChaosJon1]

Why is the Gamecube version missing drop shadows?

[benboo247]

Woah My Video Stoped When He Said chaos... CONTROL

[BlackWraith328]

@benboo247 likewise

[xxVampirePenguinxx]

@benboo247 It's because of an annotation he put in.

[dylboy1800]

@benboo247 same

[chaoszero11]

@benboo247 Damn, Chaos Control IS real!

[AeroAnimationsInc]

SA3 = Sonic Heroes (it's in the same era as SA and SA2 is Generations) (also Sonic 06 might count as SA4 but it was classified as the start of the new era style (superspeed zones mainly)

[paladinx829]

@AeroAnimationsInc okay sonic heroes will never compare to the adventure series k?

[Jarrell444]

@paladinx829 well sonic heroes is technecally part of the dreamcast era aaaand sonic heroes is better than unleashed

[jamessonic5621]

GC Seems to have more polygons.

[scikoolaid]

his ears got rounder on the gamecube lol

[supermario5029]

gamecube wins!!BETTER GRAPHICS!!!

[kabuto335]

Right after Shadow said "Chaos Control", the video stopped to buffer.

[Dragoner28]

but gamecube is better than ps2 :P

[KrazyScruffy9001]

Dreamcast wins here, Gamecube was a little laggy and didn't have those cool lighting effects

[cobalionisawesome]

AND THEN THE FANBOYS GOT ANGRY.

[sonic10158]

If they never make another true Sonic Adventure (I won't say SA3, as that is kind of controversial), I hope they put SA1 and 2 onto either the Vita or the 3DS

[TheButterflySpit]

omg. DC graphics were still good, but it just got remade in GC. OHGOD.

[StevenCAja]

Both have a fatal problem: Comic Sans subtitles.

[Legendairyman9]

@StevenCAja Please tell me sir, why everyone hates Comic Sans? Is it overused? I don't want to start a fan war and would like to keep this as professional and proper as possible, but I would like to know why you hate it.

[ShadowdaHedgie11]

@StevenCAja ...What's wrong with Comic Sans? :|

Hell, why does the font of the subtitles even matter, you can turn them off.

[Notyu1459]

Epic facial differences 1:07

[Chaarbaay]

1:08 GameCube Sonic doesn't BOW DOWN TO LIGHT!

[mrkotfw]

I'm shocked. The Dreamcast version is much better. More shadows... (no pun intended)

[pkstarstorm1up]

@mrkotfw Not really. The Gamecube version has better character models, better lighting, better graphics, and less technical issues then the Dreamcast version does.

[mrkotfw]

@pkstarstorm1up Isn't the Dreamcast on the left?

[pkstarstorm1up]

@mrkotfw Yes.

[tajawuan321]

dont care which one looks better they both were the and i still have both mine lol

[Dimitri0809]

gamecube version is a shit port though, if SA1 and SA2 were made brand new for the GC, then GC would be better.

[pkstarstorm1up]

@Dimitri0809 No it isn't. The Gamecube version is better then the Dreamcast version in almost every aspect.

[Marki4231]

Keep Everything on Dreamcast and add the smooth edges of the GC

[gdawgtuk]

I love Dreamcast to death, but stop it at 00:16 and check out the shoes and face. Texture is more vibrant. But who cares? You are comparing the first system to pave the way into the next generation with the one that learned from it!

[gdawgtuk]

@gdawgtuk Actually, now I can't really tell which one really looks better.....

[syosset80]

Shadow-Chaos Control!!!!! [video stops for a few seconds] lol

[LordEsper]

Shadow dashes from high ground, to the street, past sonic, to get to the rooftop that was only a few feet behind him in the first place.

Ok, seems legit.

[DeeFutura]

sonic says kuu :D kuu means moon in my language...

[Marki4231]

@DeeFutura meh its actually a grunt 

[ChaosAngelx96]

And of course the DC version has Shadow's, it wouldn't be Sonic Adventure 2 without him! :D :D

[ChaosAngelx96]

:o I can't even tell which looks better, I can tell they look different, but all the GC version was was just a port. There was only less than a year between both releases.

[supersonicrocks100]

Dreamcast VS. MY INITIALS! WHOOP WHOOP!

[Mr123qus]

The difference is irrelevant, SA2 is the best game Iever played.

[shutterbugblues]

The DC came out much earlier than the GC, Xbox, and PS2, but the DC versions of games still look the best out of the four.

[Actionboy619]

When the differences are so minute, comparisons aren't even worth it.

[Sonic222333]

Sa2 DC have better graphic

Sa2b GC have better gameplay

[MrMeninolucas]

@Sonic222333 I love Dreamcast too, but my DC had breaked in 10 years ago and i was very said. DC had better games and graphic of 128 bits. Sega was loser in marketing of DC

[SonicGamerSuper]

They should make Sonic Adventure 3.

[LakeIrvin]

@SonicGamerSuper sonic heroes

[pkstarstorm1up]

@SonicGamerSuper They kind of did with Sonic 06 but unfortunately because of the lead programmer quitting halfway through and Microsoft rushing them they couldn't perfect it. Making a great game become an unfinished (yet still good) game.

[sonic10158]

@pkstarstorm1up sorry, there is no way that game is remotely good as is.

[pkstarstorm1up]

@SonicGamerSuper If they aren't willing to make a Sonic Adventure 3 then I think that they should remake Sonic 06, fix all of it's problems, and add back in everything that was planned for it that had to be taken out due to being rushed.

[MalamiteLtd]

@SonicGamerSuper Sonic the Hedgehog 2006

[sonic10158]

@MalamiteLtd that was an attempt, but that isn't SA3

[Lee0018]

@SonicGamerSuper dude!!!! Ive beeen saying that since i beat SA2 Battle!!! Every game after that was 100% garbage!

[bob46661]

@Lee0018 all so sonic games rock GO SONIC!!!!!

[MouseyWithPower]

@bob46661 Sonic '06. Try again.

[bob46661]

@MouseyWithPower Sonic 06 is good

[MouseyWithPower]

@bob46661 You must be a blind fanboy, then. That game has more problems than every drug abused prostitute in history.

[blinx503]

@bob46661 how can you say that? i love sonic games, like alot, but really, the game was unfinished! not trying to flame i am just saying the game could have been good if it was not unfinished

[JWZbaas]

@SonicGamerSuper Nah, Sonic 06 could be adventure 3 if they didn't fuck that up.

[tsukinoakuma]

@SonicGamerSuper Sure, maybe it'll be sometime before Megaman Legends 3.

[ZerigaX]

@tsukinoakuma Yeah that was going to be made, but was canceled.

[TheTallestTale]

@SonicGamerSuper If Sonic Adventure 3 happens(which I hope it will) Sega needs to get all the old voice actors from adventure 2. Cuz just face it, just about all of today's voice actors suck compared to their predecessors.

[GoGojiraGo]

@TheTallestTale Which is completely a matter of opinion. Personally I think the newest ones are the best, except for Shadow's Generations voice.

[XShark5]

DC SA2 Version has shadows/lighting etc, so SA2 DC is better

[XShark5]

DC has shadows etc GC doesn't have shadows so SA2 DC Version is better

[Multiklash01]

The Dreamcast was way ahead of it's time no one can say otherwise. it was one of the first consoles to use Internet. :D i still got 2 of em :D

[sonic10158]

@Multiklash01 I think the Genesis was THE first, despite the fact that it wasn't internet ready out of box.

[smiqued12]

When he used chaos control my computer froze....Shit just got real

[awesomelink10]

@smiqued12 THE VIDEO GOT AUTO-PAUSED

[CarrotBoyification]

i fucking love this game it has the best sonic story :)

[justsomedude9593]

@Pikafan2132 that's why they kept making them

[pegorino1000]

@Pikafan2132 ur saying that because it was the first game u played sonic adventure 2 on and don't want anything else to replace it like another console GC looks better

[Pikafan2132]

@pegorino1000 No, I said that cause of the better highlighting/shading and the effect of nostalgia.

[pegorino1000]

@Pikafan2132 i don't see it

[pkstarstorm1up]

@Pikafan2132 No the Gamecube version is superior in every way.

[tutorialesredimi2]

en serio

[tutorialesredimi2]

but well before is that I am bilingual in English and Spanish Spoken

[tutorialesredimi2]

if it is misspelled

[tutorialesredimi2]

wat not sonic in youtube

[ScDnBMusic]

The gamecube was a more powerful system, but Sonic adventure 2 was nothing BUT a port of the DC version, It looks better on the DC agreed, BUT Take a look at games like Super mario sunshine and Luigi's mansion for the gamecube and it they blow boths versions of this game out of the water graphically

[MultiGame0000]

@ScDnBMusic Not to be fanboy but Sunshine was made one year after SA2

[ScDnBMusic]

@MultiGame0000I know, But I'm trying to prove a point about each consoles physical power and how this was a simply a port that will always be better on the original system

I love sega and Nintendo, but there is no denying the GC was a powerful little thing

[MultiGame0000]

@ScDnBMusic I know but still, Im just a Sonic-fanboy (well actually this is a channel of three finnish boys and only one of us is a Sonic fanboy) but Im not deniying that gamecube was awesome (though I've never tried it) . Sorry for being a Sonic fag again =)

(by the way I'm NOT sarcastic) (SERIOUSLY I MEAN IT)

[MultiGame0000]

@MultiGame0000 NO I WASN'T SARCASTIC I SWEAR I!!!

[ScDnBMusic]

@MultiGame0000 The gamecube is amazing, has an amazing variety of exclusive games

[MultiGame0000]

@ScDnBMusic Did I even say that the gamecube was bad?

[ScDnBMusic]

@MultiGame0000 No you said you never owned one? Whats your problem?

[MultiGame0000]

@ScDnBMusic You know, just forget it. I don't wanna argue with you. The gamecube is cool the dreamcast is cool, let's just live with it.

[MultiGame0000]

@ScDnBMusic But basically I thought that you thinked I don't think the gamecube is good so tried to say that it is good okay?

[GlaceonMatt]

I don't see much difference between the two other than coloring and shading/lighting. but that's just me

[peterchemski]

the gc verssion iss sso much better and i know because i played the game on that system and it was freaking amazing!

[e69alpha]

meh DC not because of nostalgia, but because it looks and feels more cinematic

[omegayoutub]

es igual ke comparar el ps3 y el 360 es muy poca la diferencia de calidad

[LeftyGunman]

Sonicception.

[it4040]

Press 5 for more emerald power

and 9 for "Farewell"

[TheFullNEWS]

*Comparison

[mamamario64ds]

Cross eyes = 3D.

[FullerxspectruM]

The DC version of SA1 actually has better graphics than ANY remake except PC. Even the X360 and PS3 ones.

[mikemaz00]

Dreamcast wins

[scripter890]

@mikemaz00 Gamecube



[sonichedgehog88]

I think I'll go play SA2 again now (if I can get my disc to work)

[Cherrygirl358]

Wow, why is the original better than the remake?

[Marki4231]

@Cherrygirl358 Idk Nintendo GC just screwed up the graphics

[gilmore7888]

its suppose to be GCN NOT GC

[Awesomereviewsandmor]

now that i look at the 2 side by side, I think the dreamcast looks better

[PokeOakly96]

The lip-syncing and over-lapping of dialogue is still horrid.

[pegorino1000]

the one on the right is better

[mswatchvideos101]

Like someone said before sonic adventure 2 had this annoying thing about it where someone would start talking before someone else stopped it was really ackward and funny at the same time the biggest example of this is when sonic and friends go on the rocket and they lose pieces of the master emerald

[IsaacDLite]

Bahahaha, my player keeps on pausing when he says "Chaos Control"

[DarkHeir15]

I think the Dreamcast version was better.

[ohgreat1000]

dreamcast is better when it comes to sa2.sa1 on the other hand...

[jonnytheninja2R]

the dc chaos control is better because shadow said it twice.

[AgeOfPwn]

I like the DC

[TheFlawedPlan]

The only really bad thing about Sonic Adventure 2 was the dialogue audio. A lot of times someone would start talking before someone else stopped and most of the time it was too quiet or the music was way louder. Without subtitles it really would have been a game breaker.

[Noobsaibot21]

Is dreamcast video footage from VGA?

[Refotsirk198]

GC has Better models.....

ok i admit, GC wins this one, but SADX DC is better, more reallistic

[LUKElinkful]

naum mudou nada

[TheEFoy11]

GC-Smoother graphics/Models.

DC-Better Lighting effect and frame rate.

[260493naruto]

Dreamcast have, better Shading/Lighting, better shadow, better framerate. STFU Nintendo Fanboy.

[SONICBOYREBORN234]

@260493naruto Your the fanboy here. That was just an opinion. And if you could take a small comment like that so offensively, than that proves how much of a cry baby you are.

DC: Better Lighting and Framerate

GC: Smooth Models and Graphics

YOU stfu.

[SHADSTER001]

The Dreamcast had the game before the Game-cube.

So of-course Nintendo are going to attempt to re-master it for Game-Cube.

So Game-Cube had a leg up on the competition. So really I think its fair to say that the Dreamcast had it better, considering they made and had the game first, and Nintendo just remastered what had already been made. (:

Personally i prefer the Dreamcast. (:

(Although there both good consoles.)

[Meganeo5]

@SHADSTER001 Nintendo didn't have anything to do with the game. SEGA upgraded the game for the GameCube version after they announced the discontinuation of the Dreamcast.

[deraickripper]

@SHADSTER001 nintendo didn't remastered, sega did, gamecube was far more powerful, end of the story, dreamcast was the first 128bits console, and the weaker one of that generation DC<ps2<GC<Xbox Who really cares about that? the only real reason to play this on a GC is not shitty differences of what you see, is the shape of the controller.

[mjc0961]

Comparingson? Is that a Chinese knock-off of comparison?

[XxMrmoneyKing]

You guys can vote on which has better cutscenes all you wan't, but in the end the GC ALWAYS WILL WIN

- Better Multyplayer

- Better Framerate

- Better Picture Quality

- No echo's in cutscene

- Lots of added features

Who cares if the DC is classic, Classic doesn't make thing automatically better than others.

[AndyKuffz]

@XxMrmoneyKing At the end of the day, who cares? I have owned the game on both consoles and personally noticed very little difference when I was actually playing the game, which at the end of the day, is all that really matters.

[XxMrmoneyKing]

@AndyKuffz Tell that to the classic fanboys who will NEVER let go of their Dreamcast.

[SegaFanatic5188]

@XxMrmoneyKing Um, both run in 480p so they both have the same picture quality. Dreamcast runs at a solid 60fps and has better lighting and shadow effects. GC has more polygons and all the download features packed in.

[XxMrmoneyKing]

@SegaFanatic5188 The lightning is really anybody's opinion. But the DC Frame rate constantly will drop sometimes if you hadn't noticed. The GC in this case NEVER drops and will always stay at 100% speed.

[SegaFanatic5188]

@XxMrmoneyKing The lighting is not anybody's opinion. The characters actually cast shadows on themselves in the DC version, the Gamecube version they are missing shadows all together. And I've not really noticed the frame rate constantly drop in the DC version. From what I can tell it maintains it's framerate quite well, much better than the GC version of the original Sonic Adventure.

[XxMrmoneyKing]

@SegaFanatic5188 Oh that lighting, I thought you meant the brightness when you said lighting. But yea your right, the DC version does have better lighting when it comes to Shadows and other environments. Also the dropping in Frame rate COULD maybe be my Dreamcast having issues, or maybe the disk. But I've heard many other people complain about this problem as well. But overall I'd recommend getting the GC version. It's a better experience. HELL if your a hardcore fan I recommend both.

[ahafeez66]

not gunna lie, i got the game on both consoles XD

[supersonic27ful]

when shadow used chaos control it looks so wrong
