Clarification: If you think this is running on the SEGA Saturn, it’s not. This is just Sonic Adventure on PC with mods to make it look like a SEGA Saturn version.
Then, change the title to Sonic Adventure Saturn Style or Saturn texture mod. There's no point on writing that on a comment with a mayor bait in the title.
@@FZuloaga I agree with you, I read the title of the video and thought it was a game made for SEGA SATURN hardware. The game was cool with this Mode, but the title suggests that it's a game made from scratch for the Saturn
Cool idea; I’ve wondered what SA would look like on a Saturn. Not too often you see a mod designed to *reduce* the graphics fidelity of a game for aesthetic purposes!
Well SA *was* planned to be on the Saturn but because of the Dreamcast being made they decided to put it on the Dreamcast instead. If you played Sonic Jam's Sonic World you are Accually playing a SA Protoype!
i don't think the person who made this was alive when saturn was a thing. this looks more like Dreamcast/PS2. needs more pixels, loading screens between areas & PS1 style texture tearing.
We've all gone back in time and entered a different timeline. A 1996 timeline where the events of the Sonic Xtreme production nightmare never happened. A place where we actually got a good Sonic game for the Sega Saturn.
Man I miss thr Sega saturn but seeing this with a Sega saturn model it really throws a what if the saturn lasted longer. Love the fact it's playing the Sonic jam music adding a nice touch to it and a good nostalgia boost too.
The 32x was their greatest mistake. If they didn’t chase that they might’ve had more resources for killer apps on the Saturn and more importantly, could’ve competed price and marketing wise with the PlayStation and N64.
@@andrewhudson7108 arguably 32x and the saturn were their biggest mistake. Or maybe their biggest mistake was no proper communication and cooperation between SOA & SOJ.
It’s definitely a cool idea but I think it needs a lot of work to really look Saturn like, most of the textures are way too high res and the 3D models aren’t really changed at all aside from Sonic & Tails, if the geometry and enemies and objects were also Saturn-ified this would be awesome, and using lower res textures (or integer scaling lower res textures until they were the same size size as the textures the game uses normally to get around technical issues.)
Ya Know what I'd bloody, ADORE. If someone remade all of Adventure in this style. With the new music. The Classic Inspried Models, using Old Level Designs. Pretty much imagining What SA1, still kept the Classic Look and had came out on the Saturn. I'd love to see how the Egg Tower and Carrier would've looked in this style. And see what Gamma would look like. Would he look like an Upgraded Egg Robo?
Hi creator of the mod here. Actually classicsonicsatam, who inspired this mod, made an egg robo model for gamma, unfortunately it is not compatible with dream cast conversion
@@gamingv1nce7 yes of course! I intend on re texturing most of the game with my original designs to a more Saturn design! You can check the to do list on the mods game banana page
0:11 the music this mod has playing for Station Square sounds similar or gives off similar vibes to ElecTown from Megaman Battle Network 4. I always would compare the world building of the battle network games and games like Mother/Earthbound (For example; Eagleland Fourside) to the world building of 3d sonic hub worlds. Station Square, Soleanna, and the unleashed hub worlds. What I’m trying to say is I need another cool city sonic hub world game that has great world building
The N64 couldn't do 3D graphics this nice, never mind the Saturn ;P Always appreciate a bit of Richard Jacques' music, though! Fun fact, parts of the track used in Emerald Coast here (Green Grove) were adapted for Metropolis Street Racer ('It Doesn't Really Matter') a few years later! :)
Man. Imagine this timeline. Sonic Adventure releases on Saturn along with a price drop. Saturn gets a huge sales boost due to the Sonic Adventure Bundle. Dreamcast gets a few more years to develop stronger hardware, basically becoming what became Xbox, because Microsoft saw Xbox as a pseudo Dreamcast successor. Sonic Adventure 2 is a launch title. Microsoft never buys out Rare, so Banjo Threeie still exists.
I really don’t think is all that impressive, all they’ve done is changed sonic’s model and added a grid to some of the SADX textures. There’s a few areas where the colours are changed too which can make it look more classic sonic-y but mostly this just looks messy and unfinished, especially with stuff like the out of place emerald coast background with flat mountains taller than highest cliffs of geometry.
The saturn would have had those polygons warping and shifting any time the camera was moved. It was worse for that more than the ps1. The N64 was the only console that didn't have that issue, but definitely had its own issues.
@@pafoneto1275 The Sega Saturn sold horribly in America, in Japan it outsold the N64. And obviously people are gonna stop buying Saturn games if the dreamcast was out and they own one
13:30 Sonic: Tails I think something’s wrong here! Robotnik must have tricked us and sent us on the path with the must robots! Tails: BuT We HaftA FoLLOw tHe NaViGAToR aND hOPe iT WoRkS BeCauSe DoCtoR RoBoTTNiK’S ThE OnLY OnE wHo kNoWs ThE WaY tO THe LaND oF DaRKNeSs!!!” Sonic:…I suppose you’re right
Neat idea, but the environment looks too good sometimes. The cars, buildings, etc. Almost look no different. Probably just didn't have time to do everything.
maybe if you dropped it to 320x240 add'd some wire mesh transparnices, loads of pop up and at 5fps then yeah lol (btw im a huge sega fan and owned the saturn so not trolling lol)
I think the textures need to be 1/2 the resolution shown to fit within the vram capabilities of a Saturn and draw distance needs to be 1/4 of what it is, I’m unsure if there’s a easy way to edit that but on the original PC version of SA it had some unlocked settings not available in the steam version
the textures and models look great, but I feel like there could be more done to make it look more convincing, like make it not be in widescreen or adding some sort of crt filter
It would be awesome if there was some sort of shader or something that could give everything that wobbly/jagged saturn effect. I don't think that will ever come, but it would be cool.
idk. it could have worked i think but not as what sonic adventures on dreamcast was..... but somethin like croc or crash mixed with rpg elements like what was suppose to be sonic adventure saturn. that sonic jam hub world is so sad to see what might have been. the 32bit sonic render looks better. lol. love classic sonic tho.
*HEY, WHAT IF...?* 😁😅 • Sonic Adventure (1995) • Sonic Adventure 2 (1999) • Sonic Adventure 3 (2010) • Sonic Adventure 4 (2019) • Sonic Adventure 5 (2026)
to make this more believable, i think the framerate should be lowered to around 20fps, the textures should be way lower resolution and dittered, also the render distance should be lower and it should have fog for the unrendered areas
the Saturn wasn’t capable of handling transparent textures, the poly-count of the environment and the amount of on-screen objects is too high for the Saturn to be capable of rendering as well.
If it is tho i gotta wonder why we never got sonic yall know what game im talking about the.one.that got cancelled because.of all the issues it was having.
Now, if we are really being honest, if Sonic Adventure DID release for the Sega Saturn, it would not have looked as graphically pretty as this. and the levels would have been MUCH smaller in size. PLUS, they probably would have to cut a lot of content Like the human NPC'S And the chao garden. that being said, in retrospect I do WISHED Sonic Adventure was released for the Saturn. it probably COULD have been. had it NOT been for the stupid infighting Between Sega of Japan and Sega of America. had they focused on Cooperatively Championing the Saturn And getting the LEG-UP on the competition, things MIGHT have turned out differently in hindsight.
This seems sweet but not sure if the 32 bit Saturn would have been able to pull off that smooth 3D graphics. Those duel VDP-1 and 2 chip sets were hard to design for. Then again they did some pretty cool stuff with the Genesis and Snes, a couple more years of R&D who knows?!
fun fact. sega team stole the "train hop formula" from namco's "pacman 2 the new adventures". they cut out the passport quest to use the train through...........
Hmmm.... needs more jagged polygon edges and dithered shadows, then it would be perfect. And before anyone starts to correct me, yes, i do understand that this is a mod.
