Ashura: Dark Reign - Tech Demo Extended Edition (Short HD)

[QuickToothless]

can you play as ashura?

[MrGorillaSnot]

2:49 sky sanctuary from sonic and knuckles in 3d :D

[watsonmarcus55]

um ADRMod Team when i play the mod and it said the game WAS not made by SEGA and blah blah balh after that i dont see anything just nothing just the cursor

[rythehedgehog2]

if this was released onto XBL,PSN,and Wiishop i would buy hands down

[zawette]

port it to the iphone and u will become rich !

but first change the models , and i can make songs for u

check out my songs (the last one is the best )

[Mithras1990Revived]

Haha this is the first time I've heard about this...Sonic game. But I knew one thing already.. that it had something to do with UT2003/UT2004 because of the sounds you hear when you kill an enemy :P

[TuahShinguru]

Ashura: Dark Reign makes me feel inadequate.

o_____o<3

[sharkjoao09]

Ashura is not real its a error color in sonic2

[SiLeNtDo0m]

This is a really impressive demo! Though I must say that the Sonic model and some of the animations could be improved. For example, I think that the running animation, jumping animation and model should be more like it was in 06. I think that would suit the game more since this looks like it's going for a more realistic approach. I do love the engine though. Fantastic job on the gameplay engine itself!

[5000joecool]

You have the perfect voice for Sonic!

[MapleAwesome12]

this may be extremely pointless to ask, but i'm having a problem with this demo. I go to "New Game" then click on Sonic, but it doesn't start the game. Did I do something wrong in installation?

[ADRModTeam]

@MapleAwesome12: Make sure you have downloaded and installed the ut2003 3369 patch and the ece map pack before installing Ashura dark reign.

Usual case for this to happen is that your missing certain assets from the levels, therefore the game wont start. =)

[MapleAwesome12]

@ADRModTeam I already have all of that. I've been stuck playing the old version though.

[ADRModTeam]

@MapleAwesome12:

The Old version? The first version of the demo or the later version called 'the extended edition'?

[MapleAwesome12]

@ADRModTeam first demo, then I tried to run the extended edition. I'm a little annoyed.

[ADRModTeam]

@MapleAwesome1: Delete the entire AshuraDarkReign folder from within your Ut2004 game folder. Reinstall ADR, by following the instructions found in the Readme file provided with the the ADR Extended Edition Download.

If it is not. Try reinstalling Ut2004 with the version 3369 patch and the ECE Pack again. as these two are a must. then reinstall ADR into the folder. DO NOT add ADR content into the UT2004 Staticmesh, Animations, Texture folders.

[MapleAwesome12]

@ADRModTeam Does it have anything to do with the fact that I bought the German copy off Ebay, though I installed it in English?

[hero108atack]

@ADRModTeam Can you make the download that has an App and make it work and saveable

[hero108atack]

@ADRModTeam Can you make the download that has an App and make it work and saveable and work in my documents

[XxSuperShadicxX]

woah! That looks so cool! How do i get it and what is it for?

[BPhoenixProductions]

I really like the ambient, slow-paced style of the music. Somehow, it just fits.

[SpeedingHedgehog]

Is it me, or does this look waaaay better than any current SEGA Sonic game? When is the full release planned for, Sonic 14? 2015? eithor or, I'm looking foward to it!

[supersonichalofan]

i cant get it to run is there another file i need to download cause i really wanna play this

[Drygoon1]

Man, this mod is so awesome. Just downloaded it and was amazed at how much the feel of ADR is different from the original game, UT2004. Big difference. Good luck with the project and I will be expecting good a release. Hopefully it comes soon though.

[AshuraTheHedgehog13]

do you need unreal tournament 2004 in order to play ashura dark regin when you download it?

[10samm10]

Yup

[jmcgonagle]

@AshuraTheHedgehog13

nope its a standalone

[ADRModTeam]

For the techdemo, yes you need Unreal Tournament 2004.

Recently we announced due to many reasons that we have moved over to using UDK which is proving to be very helpful with production of the game.

[jstaristhebet]

@ADRModTeam thank goodness finally we can play a good 3d sonic since sab2

[DreamHog98]

SA3(What Sonic 06 should have been)

[Timentio6]

this is mod of the century

[10samm10]

Ignore bottom coments about voice acting and bad animations, just work on the game and polish it afterwards.

[10samm10]

The 3D loop physics owns all the Sonic Team attempts.

[gabohXD]

what is the 3d loop? -u-

[10samm10]

In the official 3D Sonic games the camera zooms away when sonic is going through a loop, which is kind of unnessessary since here the camera does not zoom away and makes you feel much more in control.

[OrangeLightning86]

Man I wish this was Project Needlemouse...

[anotherguyinthehood]

I actually don't think Sonic's voice is too bad. I mean what can you expect, they're not gonna get the original voice actors.

[Zetra7]

it's good but sonic unleashed is better I'd rate this better than sonic '06 cause it looks like its lacks glitches

[lrp97]

when you lose rings they dont defy the gravity!!!

[elborrachitgracioso9]

@lrp97  yeah good one!

[Notyu1459]

Voice acting needs improvement. Sonic's look and animations need to be modified. But otherwise I am extremely impressed. I looks like Sonic Team might've picked up a thing or two from these videos too, as this contains 2d to 3d game-play like sonic unleashed, and this came first.

[DanieleGiorgino]

The game itself looks amazing, but the game play looks kinda iffy. Still, it's awesome what you guys did with an fps engine.

[Zeronightshade14]

I wish i had unreal 2004 so i could play this

[reidevjord]

Look for Unreal Anthology on newegg. It was 9.99 last I checked, and comes with a bunch of other unreal titles. ;)

[elvickRULES]

I like that it's not on rails. Looks like it would get confusing on where to go though.

[motokeiru]

Awosome stuff

[datfambam]

This looks awesome!

[BenLaserLove]

The demo you're showcasing is very impressive, and it looks like you're trying to do a Sonic Adventure type game. What I don't get is why you would show us a shitty Sonic recolor in the first few seconds, almost turning me off this mod forever.

I also think the running animation is kinda stiff, but that's a minor complaint. Good job, anyway.

[ShadowFaint]

If you're not going to play it because of his logo, you're being too god damn picky, shut the fuck up, god damn. That's one of the worst reasons I've ever heard for not playing a game in my life.

Looks real good on the other hand.

[BenLaserLove]

I'm going to play it. It's just that Sonic recolours are one of the biggest abomination of creativity and fandom ever.

[ShadowFaint]

I wanted to start an argument, but I can't disagree (though fan-fictions are worse.)

[ADRModTeam]

It's not just a Sonic recolor, and there is a reason on why Ashura design resembles the hero. But no hard feelings here.

[BenLaserLove]

Better be a good reason, pal. The design of the recolor isn't good at all either, sorry.

But everything else in the video is pretty good, so I still think you guys can deliver.

[HySonic]

Is this suposed to be Sky Sanctuary? Nice Job anyaway!

[TheRealSuperSonic125]

reminds me of sonic unleashed.Except with a bit more open space and no 2D

[LarkSS]

I love the design and feeling of North Island, especially for an introductory zone of the mod. It was a great decision to stop the music during the ice cave part too; it really supports the transition into the more jungle-ish part of the level.

Of course, I'm just making these comments based on the video. I don't have a computer able to play such a game at the moment.

[ADRModTeam]

You do have an ancient PC; got it working on a PIII 600MHz with decent graphics card.

[littlegers777]

i need help i read the reed me part but i dont understand plz help reply

[SonicPotter]

The game won't open

[reidevjord]

Awesome. I was really blown away by the level of artistry and immersion of this mod. Keep up the good work!

[Bartman3010]

I just gotta say, that sky level, blows my mind every time I see it. It looks great, and makes me wish Sonic games had that kind of sense of epic scale.

I dont have UT2k4 to play the game on, but it'd be the first thing I play when I get around to purchasing it.

[Moryton]

Awesome! I love how some of the stock materials (currently) have been used, especially the sounds. :D So this is what happens when you go crazy with unreal engine 2.5. :) That sky map looks really cool. Nice work!

[vampstudios]

how do u activate the mod

[CrouchyNeko13]

it kinda looks like su for the ps2...... cool ill dowload the full version can you send me a lik when its completed ok or if it is completed send the link now

[whatwetalkinbout123]

how do u make games like this. is it on ur pc? do u have to download stuff. cos id love to make something like this

[ADRModTeam]

On the PC. Get Unreal Tournament 2004 game and search for tutorials about how to make mods.

[Darkmoone1]

OMG the special stage is amazing!

[bart2823]

see sega more games like ths=maybe more sonic fans

[Kurofox4444]

Wow, I'm surprised how far this project has gone. It's looking great. A couple of things that where bothering me though...

Don't mean to be cruel, but the voices have to be worked on...

The arms seem to close to the body when standing, and the slow walking animation needs some work...

I'd say camera angles, but I'm sure that's really hard to do...

Other than that, this is turning out really great! Keep up the good work.

[darkpollopesca]

Wow is all i can say!! keep tweaking little by little making it more fluid and this would even be something ide consider buying =D

He needs a cooler spin dash though ^ ^

[Axxidous]

also what I said about Sonic's running, I mean that for all other fangames except this one cuz in this one his feet move pretty good BUT he still needs to lean forward more and have a bounce to the top half of his body :P

[Axxidous]

eh, sonic's running posses need work (like in all fanmade 3D games of Sonic running. XP just needs to look more leaned forward and more bounce and less looking like his feet slide across the ground when walking or flip floppin while running XP) PlatinumSpeed on YouTube does a good Sonic, let him voice Sonic for this XD this Sonic voices sounds more like a new character or Silver o.o

PS:

lol now all we need is an East Island since West, South, and North are currently already existing XD

[Alex2beta]

i heard of this at befor others now, i guess i need to get Unreal tournement now, something tells me its gonna cost for online play >_>

[sonicthehedgehog29]

do you need something to play it

[simnys978]

unreal tournament 2004

[sonicthehedgehog29]

thnx

[SonicKillMario]

I just got this game and it is amazing but using a keyboard the controls are hard to use

[Gladius369]

The thingthat I don't like is that Sonic has a small running space.

[NinjaNaruto81]

i LOVE it!!and i WILL DOWNLOAD it..!!!! :DDDDD

[retrozim]

3:29 that is AWFUL voice work DX

Looks great otherwise XD

[Makarosh1]

Man, its a really really good mod.

Sky sanctuary the best part of demo, especially this music.

P.S.: GREATEST SONIC MOD EVER.

[SuperStingray]

In all honesty, I think this really captures the defining qualities of Sonic better than any game since Sega went 3rd party. This is really the gameplay daytime Unleashed should have had, not a blend of platforming and F-Zero.

Not that I'm saying that Unleashed's gameplay wasn't good in its own right, but I don't think it fully executed the basic concepts behind Sonic.

[MonictheDemon777]

downloading RIGHT NOW! i'l

tell you guys how good it is when i play it.

look forward to a good reveiw,

because this looks awesome.

[AussieEvil]

Sonic looks a bit too stiff while running.

[Skylights17]

There is only one word that can describe all the detail, dedication and work put into this game....that word is WONDERFUL

[LightSpeedBlast]

Nah, keep em, but change ze name of ze one when Sonic increases size (SIKENOHOMOBUTCHANGEITPLZ). And make Sonic spin when he jumps. And add effect to zat and ze Spin Dash.And Spin Jump Dash when you aren't attacking an enemy.

[SkyTheF]

That's great!but can you do something about the messages like "You got something"?I think it's some kind of annoying...

[finalrush7]

Only thing left is to make it so that you don't have to have the UT04 engine to play it. Or somehow include the engine to the DL pack

[DDRandITGdontsuck]

How dark and bloody will this game be?

[antlp89]

But where are all the "fun" werehog levels?? =)

Awesome job, here's hoping your work gets fully realized.

[deiuos]

Also, for the developer ... send this to SEGA, and then go tell them to go fuck themselves.

[MonictheDemon777]

so youre idea is send this to SEGA

tell them to go fuck themselves

and without sega this game

would have NEVER been made.

FAILTASTIC idea.

[deiuos]

It's depressing how a fan can make a Sonic game of this low-quality (compared to gaming standards of today) and present better ideas and design decisions than the creators themselves.

Special stages? Hardly any gimmicks? What the hell, SEGA, why can't you look at this and just wake up?

[MonictheDemon777]

gimmicks are fun, i mean look at mario.

super mario galaxy was FULL

of gimmicks. and this game has gimmicks its the way its played.

[SuperStingray]

Here's the thing about gimmicks: gimmicks can be good, even in Sonic. The problem is that the gimmicks that have been used in Sonic games deviate from the concepts on his foundation rather than support it. I'm still a Sonic fan and enjoy the series a lot, but I'd rather they use gimmicks that enhance Sonic gameplay rather than bring in something new and unnecessary.

[sunsetbeach417]

that is awesome!

[xFyre1]

By the way, will the game have cutscenes?

[xFyre1]

Do you think you can make Sonic's spikes ragdolled? I just don't know if UT2004's engine supports ragdolled parts on "living models".

[Sonichero007]

This is made of pure awesomeness.

[JaredSol]

As long as the frame-rate improves and some models are more polished (such as the death egg), This game'll be great.

Also, it needs an ok-ish story. Nothing too big (I'm looking at you, sonic 2006) but nothing lame (Sonic Unleashed, much?)

[ADRModTeam]

What's up with framerate? Fps only suffer in special stage, and it's due to the recording program.

[JaredSol]

Oh, it might be Youtube HD hating me, but when I was watching it things were vaguely choppy.

Let me watch it in normal quality and I'll get back to you.

[JaredSol]

Okay, framerate si fine. It's youtube HD that's the problem.

Two new gripes, though: Sonic's full speed running sprite is a little weird, if I'm overly critical, and the checkpoints force you to stop to activate them, which is something Sonic Adventure suffered from too.

[vgmaster9]

Do you need UT2004 to play this game?

[ADRModTeam]

Yes.

[SuperStingray]

Will it work if you only have a demo?

[ADRModTeam]

No, it won't work.

[Tokamaru97]

Despite the rather chuggy framerate and the awful voice of Sonic (but it's at least better than Jason Griffith). I like how it seems to have 2D for one level and 3D for the next, I didn't like it in Unleashed when you get a good stretch of speed when all of a sudden the game decides to screw you over by changing dimensions.

[cb2198]

Wow, this looks God awful. Good Job!

[Sonicrules1222]

How do you get those sound effects! I keep thinking on how people get them but I just get confused!

[arkmalfius]

Wow that sky level looks amazing.

I'm hoping the adventure series is brought back.

[kyuubinaruto]

great game to play on an acid trip.

[anacreon212]

Sonic's arms need to move more at max speed imo.

[jagr06]

I liked what you did, but tbh, it all seems too convoluted to me. While it does feel like Sonic 3(with the same things) in 3D, I really prefer Sonic Unleashed. I thought how they melded 2D to 3D was brilliant. The only thing I'd do would get rid of the werewolf thing, and it'd be perfect.

[StraightSonicX]

The Watar sheild?

[blu3mage]

I'm a hardcore sonic fan and i gotta say, this game looks promising. Graphics could be a little bit steadier and music could use some changing to a more electronica vibe, but other then that it looks like a possible A+. And as for the blood and gore, I always knew that Sonic was always all grown up. Dulce! :) Only thing better then Sonic, is Sonic with a Silent Hill Vibe! Finally! Whoo-Hoo! :D

[chriser23]

I think your mod is amazing,

I will vote for you guys!

but.......... there is only one problem

That Sonic voice actor , "is no good"

[AshuraTheHedgehog13]

when your done with this game, this should be put up for reviews

[EXEDGIES]

what the hell it dident even start for me

[PIKACHU49386]

great mod guys! although sonic's voice wasn't what I had in mind lol

Sonic's voice is higher than that, It barely sounds like Ryan Drummond or Jason Griffith.

I'm not trying to insult your mod, but I'm just concerned about the voice, good luck guys!

[Jikogirl1]

Is it free to download it?

[PIKACHU49386]

yes it is, well should be.

[ADRModTeam]

Yes.

[sonicspeed011]

if this has adult content, then it isn't a true Sonic game

[ADRModTeam]

This game has always been made for adults in mind. ADR's story at the moment has no sexual references, but does have violence which happens during a Badnik invasion. Some people will like it, some wont. All I can say is, don't think of it as a Sonic game cuz you will be setting yourself up for disappointment if it doesnt meet your standards. Play the game with an open mind. This is a whole different type of Sonic game. - Dekrayzis (Lead Designer)

[sonicspeed011]

violence from an invasion I can handle

[SuperStingray]

Aesthetic content doesn't define a game. If I through blood all over Sonic 3&K, that wouldn't change the fact that it's a Sonic game.

[ADRModTeam]

Vote for us for the mod of the year awards!!

[TailsClock]

out of all the 3D fangames I've not seen any that look this impressive. Though a few of the camera movments ended up making me a bit dizzy. If I was actually any good at playing Sonic I'd test this out, but if I do decide to get this I'll wait a bit longer when it's totally done.

[XavierAXB]

This looks amazing. The stage design sort of reminds me of Unleashed, but with more platforming. The next Sonic game should totally be like what you have here.

[Daimando]

Is there a chance you can implement 3D/2D conversions?

[generalatrox]

I played it and its fantastic. Total recommendation to those people who enjoy sonic games :D

[Redzonic]

i notice a strong lack of enemies in the stages

[ADRModTeam]

Not a good idea, this time enemies are smarter and more dangerous.

[Redzonic]

i also notice a lack of momentum based platforming

:(

Anyway... I used to work on this project as a Texturer. If you don't remember me, oh well. My avatar was Jet the Hawk. I kind of quit the team when they mentioned that some adult content would be in the game (a dildo? wtf)

[KayCornea]

is it true?

[Redzonic]

is what true?

[KayCornea]

some adult content would be in the game?...if so,then this thing will totaly ruin the game

[SniffMyBunghole000]

sounds cool to me. wait. wtf?

[Redzonic]

I don't know if they changed their mind or not. But I just didn't want to work on the team after they said it would be sort of adult-orientated

But. I'm talking about 2006 here. Things could have changed since then.

[KayCornea]

ok thnx,cause i'm up to make some models for them so...i've wanted to be well informed ;) .

[ADRModTeam]

Hi RedSonic, we remember you.

We have a story, and there is what could be classed as adult content in the mod. Which means more gore/deaths than sex (no dildos o_0).

[darkryal35]

AWESOME
