This Game was so ahead of its time It took 2 Console generations for it to run at 60fps without drops, Unleashed on PC is still the best looking sonic game despite being 13 years old
It is and it isnt. Its bad because it shows poor optimization but its also amazing because it shows how advanced for it's time Unleashed was especially with how beautiful the art is. Its a matter of persepctive
To be fair, this is running on an emulator, which is an order of magnitude more demanding than native. It could have been 0-1 generations once emulation overhead is removed.
this game deserves to be played this way, crazy how only recently its been possible to get this game running almost flawlessly. shows how far ahead of its time sonic unleashed was
As a person who grew up with the PS2 version of Sonic Unleashed, and never getting to experience the HD version, this game being playable on PC a literal dream. Although, I reckon the requirements for at least a half-smooth experience are pretty high.
@@prodigy-hu6dy technically 720p is HD it is called "standard high-definition" a quick Google search confirms this, not to be that guy or anything, hopefully this correction doesn't sound rude. But yeah a FHD (Full HD is 1080p) or an UHD release natively on PC would be a literal dream, hopefully a fan decompiles the source code or SEGA does a remaster and natively ports it for this dream to be reality. :)
After having achieved all the Unleashed trophies, I can say that for me it is the best experience I had with the sonic saga and the best sonic game, if they release a remaster or port of Unleashed, I'll get all the trophies again
I will play almost any beat ‘em up game you throw at me from Batman Arkham to Yakuza, so the werehog stages were really fun for me. I love the exploration and detailed setpieces that you basically miss in the day time stages because you are literally going the speed of a bullet. Really hope we get a Sonic Unleashed Ultimate.
same ive always loved werehog stages, even as a little kid i would legit grind the bosses out like the pheonix in the china area, i would grind it for hours because i found some strat to i think once or two cycle it and would just keep getting s ranks
i am like a year late, and i am sorry i'll break the magic but i don't think we're getting a PC port.. ever. Havok engine licensing issues and all this nonsense about losing the game's code, one of these is true and we can't really do anything about it
I will never understand people that dislike the werehog levels, they were really fun to play and the music from the levels adding to the nice level design makes it great to play.
Because when you finish the game the werehog levels get "repetitive", because you'll mostly use YYXXX combo or knuckle sandwich, and the combat music made a lot of people almost go "insane". So people disliking it is reasonable
I was one of the lucky few who could play modded Unleashed on the console (PS3 in my case). The modding process was much more complicated, but the result was always worth it. Having the Soap shoes, tighter Drift, no-delay Homing Attack on the jump button, and faster Wall-Jumping a la Gens' Direct Jump Skill already made the daytime gameplay much more fun. I tried making the Egg Fighters orange to resemble the Egg Pawns, and it suits them, ngl. I also found a hidden wall-crashing feature, which isn't as complete (lacking sounds and a kip/stand up animation) and funny as the Wii version's but is a nice added difficulty.
Wow this is cool, I tried this for myself a while ago and I just couldn’t make it work, it was just a glitchy disaster of graphical garbage. I tried RCPS3 and the day stages were great, but the night stages ran at 10fps at all times. It’s really impressive how good the results you’re getting is. I literally brought myself a 360 just for this game a week ago and I wish I’d been able to make this work to save me the money lmao. It’s impressive how this emulator seems to run it way better than RCPS3.
Some people say that this game wasn't ported to PC because of the bad reception it got when it first came out, but I gotta say, that is not a good excuse. I like exploring around for medals, and I love the werehog stages.
Oh my gosh, turning off Werehog battle theme is an option!? That raises the game an entire point on the rating scale with that mod alone. I'd love to play this so much.
Just found this video and almost cried because there is another brother in arms in the world who know what’s up-Sonic Unleashed is the best 3d sonic game🤷🏾♂️
Thanks a lot for showing this is possible and giving a really inclusive review of how it works and whether it is worth it. I sadly never got to play any Sonic games, but I used to watch streamers play Sonic, and my favourite one which I still remember watching was Sonic Unleashed. I don't have a Xbox 360 on me and had completely forgotten about the game (7-8 years on) but I've been reminded due to the release of the new Sonic game coming up and this game came to my head. I'm really glad so many people enjoy this game as well in the comments and that everyone feels the same way about the game that I do. I've just successfully emulated the game on Xenia and I am already having so much fun on the first tutorial, though I might go buy a Xbox 360 controller to get the full experience of playing this game as opposed to using my keyboard. I hope you are all as excited as I am as well for the new game which I hope won't lose out to any of its predecessors - and if anything, surpass them.
Dunno if somebody commented this already, but the reason it feels like it runs better the more you play, is because as new textures and animations load in, Xenia caches those textures and animations, so they can be reused in points where the same animations and textures are. So the first playthrough of a level might be rough, but the second playthrough is smooth.
@@Matthasnocuts nice vid can you make a vid on how to get it working in 2022 because I’m struggling to get the 100 save file and the iso extract working
This is really amazing to see! However I'd like to point out that Unleashed on the Xbox One and onwards looks much better than its original release. The framerate is so much better and it looks like it has anti-aliasing too. It looks much more like Xenia footage in your video than the Xbox 360 footage.
The Xbox One does have better framerate but it still dips at tight Werehog sections, Jungle Joyride and in EggmanLand. You GOTTA see how the Series X is able to perform in that game!
@@katsef3934 yeah. I also have it on my 360, which is what I gree up on. It's just that my 360 is about to be 10 and it's had a long run. I just bought a PS3 so... Y'know gotta get the essentials! Amazing game.
@@Laiser Depends. It runs at an uncapped is fps, but it dips in other areas. Silky smooth holoska on real hardware, but rough Adabat. It's good for me. I'll be buying another copy of 06 too, and ripping it onto an SSD to deal with loading. Apparently the loading is an issue on PS3. I grew up on 360 and it wasn't all to bad.
I played this game like a maniac on my ps2 back in the day, I always played all the Sonic stages literally until I played them perfectly, you could feel the speed and also you could feel that you were traveling the world at high speed, no other sonic game has done that. For me this is one of the best Sonic game I ever played.
emulation is the future of retro gaming and semi modern gaming, without emulation most games would die from inaccessibility, but because emulation exists it is possible to enjoy the best version of every game
I loved playing sonic unleashed on my ps3 that i dont have anymore,and i gotta say that sonic unleashed is probably my favorite sonic game and i dont understand why people dont like the werehog stages,yeah its slow but it has actual combat and i had a lot of fun learning new combos.also the werehog battle time is such a banger in my opinion.
I recently finished this game on Xenia Canary (yes, it is fully playable now with little to no crashes, at least from what I've seen), and wow was it quite the experience. While yeah, it ran at like 15-20 FPS on my system, I've had the most fun I've ever felt since freaking Hollow Knight (and that game was a near perfect masterpiece!). That's how you know it's awesome.
You'd be happy to know that it's now possible to play the game from start to finish at 60FPS on Xenia! Although I wouldn't be surprised if you already knew this.
5:16 I have to disagree with you on that. I would always prefer Generations polished controls than Unleashed. It makes it more accurate for me to platform and move around in a 3D space.
idk ehich i prefer,but imo "bouncier" physics like adventure 2's but smoother would be nice for modern games.but i also prefer generations physics over unleashed.
@@darealstar4196 Sonic Unleashed's Air Boost overshoots too much and it's mapped to X (Xbox) and Square (Playstation) which it's annoying when trying to just Air Dash. Generation's Air Boost is so weak that its ONLY use is for platforming. If we ever get to Air Dash (which is off-topic), the Air Dash is great in Unleashed but it also overshoots a bit and overlaps with Boost. Generation's Air Dash is stupidly weak, makes the same game's Air Boost look like Unleashed's.
I find it hilarious you talk about the no port to modern hardware and what not to get the game running better and stuff and then 11 days after this dropped it got Xbox Series X/S enhanced with better graphics and 60 frames lmao
Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t you need the Xenia Unleashed mod to actually play the game? Last time I checked, the game would crash at the beginning of the first boost stage.
Just got the CD soundtrack for this game today at 2:25p.m. and it's the Planetary Pieces Sonic World Adventure Original Soundrack CD and I'm listening to it while watching this! 7:22p.m. 6/15/2023
That's not a re-release. That's the Xbox 360 version being enabled for play on the Series X. It's still running at sub-720p and 30FPS. It doesn't look amazing, it's the exact same experience, minus the framedips.
@@Essu_ I get 1080p and 30fps on the regular Xbox one, the series x upscales it for a 4k experience which is way better, my TV doesn't support HDR and still looks better than the 360 version, the series x makes it look far better than what I have.
If Sonic Unleashed was backwards compatible for the PS5, it will play at a stable 60FPS. The PS3 version of Sonic Unleashed has uncapped frame rate at 60 but it barely reached that limit.
I think one of the reasons they wont bring up this game is because they delisted certain sonic games that were below the average metacritic score back in the day and unleashed was sadly included
It's impressive how some PS3/360 games like Unleashed has graphics that can live up to these times and look good without an excessive effort, compared to a lot of games nowadays (not all) that pretend and compete so hard about getting the most realistic graphics of the market and failing miserably or losing the enjoyment of the gameplay.
ngl ever since last week xbox sonic fans been eating well cuz sonic unleashed and generation is 60fps so xbox n PC players will enjoy , it feels like a new game
I will say if you really wanna play Unleashed day stages there's always SU Redux which is an enhanced version of Unleashed project, it has the physics too so. There ya go.
10:14 I sincerely believe 90% that this would be the best option, even if the first one is carried out anyway, I love SEGA and Sonic Team, but I don't know if it's my idea, but it seems that they suck when it comes to porting a game to PC.
You're lucky, I just COULD NOT get the Xenia version running without a load of artifacting completely covering the screen. I have to deal with random crashes on RPSC3 (PS3 version) and I don't dare mess around with the video settings, but that's the more stable one of the two. I HATE that Unleashed isn't properly on PC. I think it will eventually (like Colours) but when?
with the help of xenia canary, u can play the full game without crashes! With some bugs like visual bugs and 2-5 frame drop every now and then. To play like this, just go to the config file and change to gpu from “any” to “vulkan”
I got a really weird issue where it randomly filled my screen with random messed up meshes. I really can't explain what the hell was happening, the closest comparison I can make is when you really screw up a ragdoll in GMod and it fills up literally everything on the screen
Still the best sonic game. 👌 Also it's funny how the classic sonic games have been ported to modern consoles a million times, but this game never have gotten a single port.
Why does your Xbox version look so choppy and slow? Mine doesn't do that, is it a PAL/NTSC version difference or something? (I'm a PAL region) I know the formats have become redundant, but some games have things added, removed or changed in different regions so I thought I'd ask. But my Xbox 360 runs it way smoother, unless it's a video capture issue, I've noticed 30fps in some captures looks worse than others.
And now just 3 years later i can run it on a puny gtx 750 ti with little frame drops and no crashes if you use vulkan. A consistent crash softlocks you at jungle joyride day if you use directx12
This Game was so ahead of its time
It took 2 Console generations for it to run at 60fps without drops, Unleashed on PC is still the best looking sonic game despite being 13 years old

"It took 2 Console generations for it to run at 60fps without drops" isn't that a bad thing? the game could've been optimized better.
It is and it isnt. Its bad because it shows poor optimization but its also amazing because it shows how advanced for it's time Unleashed was especially with how beautiful the art is. Its a matter of persepctive
Because of the style of game it’s hard to optimize it for 360/ps3 even ps4/xb1
Even for a 14 year old game that's crazy
No, simply by looking at the console's hardware, and at how good the game looks seriously the game looks like better than the time's games look at it.

2:00 or get an Xbox series x with a sonic unleashed disc and you can play sonic unleashed on modern hardware
Don't forget to turn on FPS Boost as well!
Honestly I wouldn't mind Sonic Teams next big project to be a PORT (No addtions that nobody asked for) just a Simple port of Unleashed for PC.
It's impressive how some PS3/360 games like Unleashed has graphics that can live up to these times and look good without an excessive effort, compared to a lot of games nowadays (not all) that pretend and compete so hard about getting the most realistic graphics of the market and failing miserably or losing the enjoyment of the gameplay.
ngl ever since last week xbox sonic fans been eating well cuz sonic unleashed and generation is 60fps so xbox n PC players will enjoy , it feels like a new game
And now Sonic Unleashed on Xbox runs at a native 60fps as of yesterday!
No way Xenia is this smooth.
I will say if you really wanna play Unleashed day stages there's always SU Redux which is an enhanced version of Unleashed project, it has the physics too so. There ya go.
Werehog is fun people are babies
didn't this come to xbox back compat with 4k 60?
10:14 I sincerely believe 90% that this would be the best option, even if the first one is carried out anyway, I love SEGA and Sonic Team, but I don't know if it's my idea, but it seems that they suck when it comes to porting a game to PC.
You're lucky, I just COULD NOT get the Xenia version running without a load of artifacting completely covering the screen. I have to deal with random crashes on RPSC3 (PS3 version) and I don't dare mess around with the video settings, but that's the more stable one of the two. I HATE that Unleashed isn't properly on PC. I think it will eventually (like Colours) but when?
8:07 Yes you are, because Shadow was ment to be more powerful than Sonic in theory. But we aall know how the "protagonist power" works right?
the fact the gameplay looked exactly the same on both sides shows this game plays itself
I remember I saw that game on 8 Smart TV when I first went into a Smartphone store to buy my first phone.
with the help of xenia canary, u can play the full game without crashes! With some bugs like visual bugs and 2-5 frame drop every now and then. To play like this, just go to the config file and change to gpu from “any” to “vulkan”
Sega composers on their way to make absolute banger for anothrr game about blue hedgehog:
Gex on modern hardware truly is the greatest gift bestowed upon us humans from modders and emulation.
I got a really weird issue where it randomly filled my screen with random messed up meshes. I really can't explain what the hell was happening, the closest comparison I can make is when you really screw up a ragdoll in GMod and it fills up literally everything on the screen
You mean those random black and seaweed green triangle things?Press f5 to fix it
It’s only a matter of time until someone true ports Sonic Unleashed
When it comes to sonic unleashed I always play the wii version
Same bro I play the ps2 copy
nice, the one version that fucked up the entire boost mechanic... no thanks Dx
This video is basically telling us that we need a remaster 👀
Still the best sonic game. 👌
Also it's funny how the classic sonic games have been ported to modern consoles a million times, but this game never have gotten a single port.
i love rewatching this video idk why
7:52 Foreshadowing (no pun intended kinda)
Why does your Xbox version look so choppy and slow?
Mine doesn't do that, is it a PAL/NTSC version difference or something? (I'm a PAL region)
I know the formats have become redundant, but some games have things added, removed or changed in different regions so I thought I'd ask.
But my Xbox 360 runs it way smoother, unless it's a video capture issue, I've noticed 30fps in some captures looks worse than others.
Ikr
So , can i ask your PC specifications?
And now just 3 years later i can run it on a puny gtx 750 ti with little frame drops and no crashes if you use vulkan. A consistent crash softlocks you at jungle joyride day if you use directx12
Now we also have RPCS3, it doesn't seem to crash at all there and it also runs smoother =)
I always saw the frame dropping as some sort of cinematic slow-down.
Oh God, to be able to play Unleashed from start to finish in 4K 60FPS😩
Now ya can on Xbox!

I'm not sure if you would know the difference though
I have this on my xbox series s and it runs the same. Did not know it was not on PC r.i.p.
