Sonic Unleashed (2008) Wii vs PS2 (is there a big difference?) 

Both

Wii

Wii

PS2

Wiii dosen't looks bad

Man please the only thing Colors had to use for motion controls was Flick the Remote to activate the color power and I couldn’t use a GAMECUBE controller because it felt weird compared to Wii remote and Nunchuck. Wii Unleashed is what I need to try next with Wii remote and Nunchuck

@@destroyermcw626 Hmm... You can push the R button to use the color power on traditional controller. I think the Wiimote fits Mario better.

@@vittosphonecollection57289 I immediately said no to my Classic controller as I was getting too confused with the button layout but I really appreciate how cool it is to change controls mid gameplay and the hints follow to!

@@destroyermcw626Ah ok! Yeah that happens to me a lot. Not only sometimes I mistake the Wii controller layout with the Xbox One one, but also I always have confusion between Unleashed, Colors and Generations 😅😂

@@vittosphonecollection57289 Yeah something like this😅 That Xbox gets in my head on the DS button combination.

What you saying? Ps2 can do a lot better than this

the Wii is not a two GCs put together, it's just a buffed up GC. and there are much more complex Wii games which were ported to PSP, like, Silent Hill games and Tenchu

The PS2 even in 2008 was selling in crazy numbers, and by 08, the Gamecube had been discontinued for a year, and the Xbox had been discontinued for a few months. Perhaps they just felt that the Wii version to the PS2 was an easy port.

Ps2 is one of those consoles that lasted way more that it was supposed to due to its big numbers, at this time both Xbox and GameCube were already replaced by their respective successors but Ps2 was still getting ports despite the fact PS3 was already out

@@wolfdragox5563 given that it plays on ps2, it shows what the dreamcast version of sonic adventure 3 could have looked like, pretty crazy since dreamcast was close to ps2 when pushed hard enough.

@o2 But for this game?

I personally prefer Sonics model on ps2 than the Wii

thank you sherlock holmes

The PS2 version does have progressive scan for the NTSC release, but not widescreen. It seems to me that they made the game with motion controls in mind, most notably the Werehog combat in the night stages. You use both the Wii Remote and Nunchuck to switch between left and right handed attacks, but on PS2, they are done with a single button, which is much less intuitive. It’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but I find that the motion controls really add to the way the combat operates in the Wii version. Also, with the PS2 version only being in 4:3, cutscenes are letterboxed to fit within the aspect ratio. When watching, you can tell they were made with 16:9 in mind. As for the gameplay, it’s still playable on PS2, but it felt like they had to capitalise on the console’s continuing success in the market around that time. Regardless, it just seemed unnecessary. They really should’ve focussed on just the Wii to further improve optimisation.

I think it was originally supposed to be on PSP but then they switched it to PS2.

"should've been optimized better in merely every way and be as good as the Wii version" I really doubt that my friend since the Wii's GPU, CPU & Ram are 2 to 3 times stronger than the PS2 which is very much evident seeing games like Metroid Prime 3 + Other M, Mario Galaxies, Conduit 2, Xenoblade chronicles with all the high polygons, detailed textures and relativily impressive lighting effects that is hard to imagine running on a PS2 (+ all the superior ports in graphics and performance)

​@@irdsqrgitro Xenoblade? That game looks very ugly and low poly XD... The Wii could never run Saints Row 2, GTA 5 or Test Drive Unlimited 2.

that's why I said (relativily) to the PS2 also no sh*t it's low poly cause it's an open world game ffs the console is litterally processing polygons and textures as far as like 10 miles so they must cut down the texture quality but game like Metroid Other M where spaces are small and loaded in seperate segments, it almost looks like an early PS3 game with out shaders @@mackalan

@@mackalan Bro? Xenoblade is a open world game ofc they did turn down the graphics also bruh ofc the wii wouldn't run gta 5 it wasn't even a HD console

@@framedthunder6436 And?, the Wii sucks...

The PSP version would probably look like the PS2 version but in 16:9, with way blurrier textures, reduced shadows and particle effects, compressed sound, and a less consistent framerate.

It's not that bad either xd. I would even dare to say that the game looks very good for PS2 (Obviously it does not beat Wii for power), but to be a Sonic for a seventh generation console it looks great, and even beats other games like Heroes

En PS2 El Modelo De Chip Es Feo Que el De WII

The Ps2 The Model Of The Chip Is Ulgy i not on The Wii Ingles

@Darkex Spanish El Modelo Ee Chip es Feo Que el de wii Ingles On The Ps2 The Model Of Chip Is Ulgy This Not On the Wii

No question. PS3 looks so much better

@@Mannaggia_la_maremma_toscana No Contest Xbox 360 best version following PS3 and Xbox Series X/S offers 60fps

Agreed

But on ps2 the sonic model looks better because on the wii the model on sonic's back looks like brawl sonic's spikes. XD

@@BespokeYT Those non moving Quills says otherwise and low polygons

What's different about the gameplay? On Wii you can use the classic controller or gamecube controller if you don't like the Wii mote

Actually i believe the ps2 is better than what you see. It has been recorded very badly in my opinion.

@@mrsaxophone4765 No it looked great and PS2 just looks worse and Sonic Quills doesn’t even move when running makes him look like a GTA mod and the audio is compressed to and more jags and no widescreen(Personal experience).

@@destroyermcw626 i played that game as well. It's true that wii is better graphically, but here the ps2 was recorded badly as well.

agree

Mi favorite version is also the play 3

Hey i have 2 roms. I play ps3 emulator when i bored. Sometimes i play ps2 version. The PS3 version fuller than Ps2 storage. PS2 Storage is must cheaperly look graphics are not better

PS3 version doesn't like that PS2 version

Have you got the mobile version though?

WOOOO!

@mattiguess PS2 version does indeed have a more retro look

Proof ?

@@markofthewolvessucks8930 look at the sales yourself, this game sold great on ps2

@@FDave26 That's a lie, it is not among the 20 best-selling titles, the information says that it was one of the best-selling games for Sonic, but specifically for ps2

@@Rayzer10X just debunked is ass 🤣

If it was best selling they would've made a greatest hits edition

Wii is from a different generation

wii is the same generation as ps3 and xbox 360. While ps2 is the same generation as xbox and gamecube

Gamecube is the same as the Wii but in a different generation. If the game was on Gamecube it would be the Wii version with PS2 Sonic Model and music.

just remember, the ps2 is the same generation as the gamecube and xbox while the Wii is the same generation as xbox 360 and PS3

When u realise the ps2 outlasted gamecube and xbox lmao

@@tatendamuwori7098 Well of course. It sold over 3 times more units than both of them combined

@@aahiljcat That doesn't change much when the Wii is far more similar spec wise to the PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube than PS3 and 360

No worry’s, I’m not good at *england* either

i selled my wife for internet connection

@@InsaneEnergy relatable

u won

Same

The standard is that low?

@@pafoneto1275It’s Sonic, we cant really get much higher.

Recording

Ps2 has widescreen but not for all ps2 games because this console was like made in 2000 and widescreen was like new thing back then.

​@@michael_simpson The game was from late 2008

@werewolf painter I know but it's because the ps2 does not have widescreen for all games because the ps2 doesn't always have good hardware

@poof69420 well yea but not all because widescreen was a new thing back then

Probably to save on resources. Rendering in widescreen meant a wider field of view most likely so it would have to render more, thus making the performance worse

Because it's a video. The PS2 supports DVD, there is no reason why it would struggle playing a video file. The PS1 and Sega Saturn struggled with video not the PS2

⁰

ni la wii ni la PS2 manejan sombreado en tiempo real, no como Xbox 360 o PS3 al menos, aunque es cierto Wii es mucho mejor que PS2 en este juego

Yeah but it was the HD version, this one is the SD version

It is 640x480 in progressive scan mode

If only it was put on the og Xbox so then we could have 2 versions of unleashed on Xbox consoles

Boooo English only

@@mattschehr163 Yes

actually the wii is 30 fps

@@aahiljcat on original console 60 fps, on dolphin 30 fps

@@klasus1 really?

@@aahiljcat yeah, look at the comparison of ps2 and wii versions on the original hardware

@@klasus1 No version of Sonic Unleashed, before the Xbox Series X update for the 360 back compat version, was 60 fps. They were all 30fps, or in the PS3's case, unlocked and janky af. If you've seen the Wii version at 60, you've seen someone using a hack or code (e.g. Sonic Colors has a Gecko Code to run at 60, Unleashed *might* too).

Wii Video output is garbage compared with gamecube because is always Analogic signal, gamecube have Digital signal, with the component cables or HDMi adapters, gamecube have better image quality, even PS2 or dreamcast have better resolution than wii

?? Both have pixels. The Wii's signal is only a bit blurry due to it's forced deflicker filter, which was designed with CRTs in mind, not LCDs or other flat panel displays. In reality the difference between the Wii and Gamecube's output isn't that different with the Gamecube being ever so slightly sharper. Something you'd only ever notice in side by sides

​@@megapokesonicx Well, but that is already more of an alternative, to playing it in a conventional way

Very soon bro

I been waiting for it so long

Yeah, not really a fan of how shiny Sonic’s quills are on the Wii.

Not if you use a gamecube controller or classic controller

Just use a GameCube or classic controller on the Wii.

You can use gamecube controller for wii.

@@hggfhh4449 true but the ps2 controls for both day and night are more practical than the gamecube controller, i know, i've played both versions

@@megapokesonicx yeah but you have to alternate between the x and y buttons to attack with combos properly, the ps2 simply let you use a single button for combos while the wii only registers a single attack and not follow up with an attack from the same button even with a pro controller, I tried

Nah. Wii can play using Gamecube controller or Wii Classic. Wii wins in every area

@@crestofhonor2349 Bro why comment this now?

@@ohjoshua67 Because I just saw the video for the first time

No se ve mal, simplemente la comparativa se nota La PS2 es mucho menos potente que una Wii, aún recuerdo cuando jugaba en mi PS2 en una tele de tubo claro porque en una pantalla grade se ve horrible

@@pouconplei2chipeada386 la ps2 en tv LCD se ve horrible, que no tiene resolución 720p

The wii version can be played with the Gamecube controller.

Just use a gamecube controller or a Wii Pro Controller

That's a moot point when you can use different controllers on the Wii anyway.

@@thawkade 6 months late 💀

id say ps2 looks like a plastic toy his quils dont even move when he moves

So the PS3 version also looks plastic, because it looks like the Wii version, but better.

porque la Wii es más potente 🤡
