@SonicFicticious yeah, Sega said it themselves, and you can see some concept art in Sonic Generations also. =SOST=Secrets of Sonic Team has some really cool info about the prototype(s) of Sonic Adventure.
@SonicFicticious thanks! I didn't take if offensively :) When the Dreamcast first came out, it was a huge competitor to the N64, while the Sega Saturn sat back and watched while it slowly diminished. I might even try porting Sonic Adventure to the Sega Saturn, because the Saturn is very powerful and the Sonic Jam engine is a prototype of Sonic Adventure.
@SonicFicticious I don't exactly know what you mean by "backwards", because the Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube are all part of the sixth generation console era. I'm porting the PC version, because Dreamcast is very similar to PC -- also might have to borrow from the other consoles.
@SonicFicticious Dreamcast had the best graphics in its era, but was never taken advantage of due to it being killed off in 2001. I've (re)started porting Sonic Heroes to the Dreamcast, and I hope I can put a demo of Seaside Hill onto DCisoZone.
omg, memories surging through my brain T.T i miss this game... i wish i hadn't played it so much... maybe the game would still work if i had given it a break from time to time...
The distorted snare shuffling, the horror movie-esque "BAD SHIT IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN" rising note in the background, the two orchestra hits every two measures, and the fact that all the visuals seem to say "The very WATER is your enemy" makes that particular thirteen seconds hold a place in my heart that nothing else will ever, EVER take. <3 Nostalgiaaaa.
Stupid Question, But What's The Differance Between Sonic Adventure And Sonic Adventure DX? Plus, I've Never Had A Dreamcast, But I Do Want One. Third, BEST INTRO EVA!!!
Seriously, this is what 3d sonic games are meant to be. Edgy editing, Crush 40 before they started to sound like Nickelback, epic settings and awesome boss battles, and a plot that's slightly depressing and has themes of death. Admit it, you cried at the end when Tikal...I won't go any further. If you've seen it you know what I'm talking about.
@chikitin2020 That's the version I played too - The story doesn't change between DC and GC versions. You should know this already. If not...YOU'RE IMPATIENT AND YOU OUGHT TO STOP SKIPPING THE CUTSCENES.
@chikitin2020 Look, dude...I'm not going to post spoilers here. Even though the game is nearly 13 years old people STILL get mad about that. I don't want to incur any shitstorm upon myself.
Youtube has a search bar for a reason. If you want to know what happened that badly, SEARCH IT FOR CHRIST'S SAKE.
This intro right here is exactly why I started playing Sonic. If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have been convinced that it was cool, and would have never discovered the genesis games that got me addicted to sonic.
Dear Lord this brought a tear to my eye. I remember i played this game EVERYDAY and i mean EVERYDAY!!!!!!! and i was 7 wen i got it and i had it for 3 years....... And my cousin lost it, wen she did i wanted to ring her fuckin neck out and dammit y arent Sonic games THIS GOOD anymore? They need to fall back on the nostalgia and stop introducin new characters in EVERY new Sonic game. And if they were to EVER make a SA3 i would pre-order the SECOND Gamestop says its comin soon
I love the Sonic Adventure games, and a week ago my friend told me "Sonic Adventure 3" was coming out on XBOX 360, so I told my brother and he said my friend was lying and that they'd never make a SA3 and it turned out my friend WAS lying...
Hurry up and make it, SEGA! Sonic 06 was a bad attempt at it, so just try again or something.. and please, stop using this techno- Bentley Jones stuff. Crush 40 was fine as is.
@DaFunk14 It isn't..Sonic Unleashed is actually another game.Just because it has "Adventure" in the name,doesn't that makes part of the Adventure series,since the last one was Adventure 2 and people still wait for a third one.
But Unleashed was a good game.They just doesn't like the Werehog.
This game is coming to the playstation store and Xbox live market place YES epicness of this game will NEVER DIE and hopfuly we will get sonic adventure 2 oh i hope so i never played it and it looks even better then the first.
It's funny because when I saw this game and played it for the first time, I thought it had the greatest graphics in the universe. Still good over all, but it's nothing like I remembered. xD
I still have my Dreamcast and was playing this about a week ago when I took a walk down gaming-nostalgia lane - still kick-ass, and I still have my Chao mini-game on one of my VM's.
Sonic Adventure is coming to XBLA 2nd Q of this year! Though it will be a straight port of SA:DX on the GC.
man, my jaw literally DROPPED when i first saw this intro. christmas of '99 was probably my best one when the parents surprised me with a new dreamcast bundle that had nfl 2k and sonic adventure. it's funny, whenever my friends came over, i made SURE they watched this intro. clearly, sonic adventures 1&2 are the last best sonic games made. i am REALLY hoping they make a part 3. damn i miss my dreamcast...if they don't rerelease these games on psn and xbl, anyone know where i can get a dreamcast?
this game brought back so much memories that i still remebered that it took me awhile to beat perfect chaos 1 and 2 and i still have the game but no more dreamcast T-T
I loved this game (just a bit less then I liked the second one). Countless bad guys replacing Robotnik has gotten old, but I remember when I first saw that Chaos was gonna be the game's main antagonist, I was ecstatic. In fact, it's where the inspiration for my user name comes from =)
I loved this game SO much. But I only have the DX version. It was also the first time I saw Cream, in a cameo. I loved the levels and music the best :)
Wow, I just realised that the Dreamcast is 10 years old today. I never owned one but I know people who do, and I have both Sonic Adventure games on the GameCube. I remember seeing the Dreamcast version of SA being played in a game store, I was so amazed to see a 3D Sonic game.
So did I, and it drove me crazy because I finally got an all S rank chao, then bread it with a two S chao and got an all S chao. All that work, wasted...
Ah, this game. It's the inverse of every current Sonic game, if you think about it; excellent in the gameplay sense, but wonky animations, a voice cast just getting into each character's "feel", and virtually no attempt at re-syncing the lips for the English script leaves a lot to be desired graphically; the remake helps, but not to the point of declaring it the perfect Sonic game.
That said, I loved the game back when I didn't care about that stuff, and even my dad had fun playing as Big. 5/5!
i still have my first copy as well as the DX perfect for both but i still like coming back and playing lvls like speed highway just becuse i feel SA1 & 2 are still the best sonic games ever made.
Sonic adventure was the shiiiiiitz !
Got excited after completing each characters story then going back & seeing super sonic ! Ahh memories-33333
