Beta64 - Sonic Adventure

To me, Sonic Adventure is one of the greatest of Sonic's "adventures". And being that this is Sonic's first fully 3D game, you can be sure that there are a ton of early ideas, scrapped concepts, and unused objects. There are so many, in fact, that I couldn't even fit them all in a 24 minute video. So, feel free to check out the link below for even more info!
Enjoy!

I really wish they went back to the Adventure style of 3D Sonic games. The recent games are way too linear and I'm not a fan of the boost mechanic. Sonic's speed should be momentum based and should rely on the player's platforming skills. I'm not asking for Adventure 3, but I do want Sonic's gameplay to return to that style.

[@LukeMM95]

PingasMaster2041 From the gameplay I've seen of Sonic Boom, it doesn't look like what I'm looking for. It's a mix of slow combat sections and linear running stages. The speed sections especially just don't impress. The characters just run in a straight path and occasionally move left or right to avoid obstacle.

[@Reayashin]

PingasMaster2041 Sonic Boom gameplay looks like a disgrace, also a Looney Toons reject when it comes to the theme (tries too hard to be "Funny", Sonic aren't Spiderman.

Lone Devil I actually thought Spiderman was similar to Sonic personality wise, holy crap what if they met someday?

[@SuperGamer61499]

I'm 15 and I am sorry but I was doing a Sonic FanTard impersionation but still bullshit

[@Rexeljet]

I wouldn't say it's just the (Sega Forum-going) fans, but I find that a lot of web critics or people who are otherwise out of the loop with the Sonic series are the ones who seem to dislike any Sonic game that tries to deviate from the classic formula, believing that Sonic Team should not learn from poorly executed concepts but simply disacknowledge (which is totally a word) the fact that they even came up with the idea in the first place. A good example is Shadow the Hedgehog- one of the reasons why that game fell flat on its face was because its attempt at a "dark" storyline and atmosphere was laughable, with not-quite-swear-words added into the script seemingly at the last minute and Shadow's contrived backstory involving aliens. There are a lot of people, however, who believe that Sonic games should not have dark storylines full stop, citing Shadow's game as a reason. Similarly, you get a lot of web critics who moan about the existence of an extended cast of characters (up to and sometimes including Tails and Knuckles), even in games where they don't do anything (e.g. Generations), ignoring the fact that they could be used for great things and not be forever associated with bad games. The notion of Sonic games in 3D is another pathetic complaint that pops up. IGN has an article called "Where did Sonic go wrong", which reads as if it escaped from a cringe thread. And as for games that are condemned for being different, look no further than Sonic Labyrinth. It's an average game at worst but there are people (most of which aren't fans, to my knowledge) who slam the game because "Sonic is about going fast, and in this game you go slow!", not bothering to analyse the game on its own merits. Dr. Mario is a Mario game that doesn't involve any sort of platforming. Should I therefore dismiss it as a terrible game?

[@kfcnyancat]

I don't know why it doesn't happen with Zelda, but I do know that Nintendo RARELY tries something new with Mario.

[@TD0150]

kfcnyancat Well it has happened before (Like Wind Waker's cartoony design for example), but most of those games aged well.

I heard the reason that the extra backgeound characters were cut out so they could make the backgrounds and main cast more detailed because they took up too many polygons.

O I forgot his name but he is a weasel and he uses even bigger curse words than "damn" Another also is Julie Su the echidna with her blaster. Maybe the fans thought that since some of the comic characters there have guns and blasters why not in the games but with other characters? o o Though really sometimes its not really a good idea to trust fans anyways O.O so I get your point... Unless its for character design purposes....

[@hideofreakingkojima5457]

In fact many fans wanted Sonic to have a gun, Yugi Naka understandably denies the stupid idea as it doesn't fit with Sonic's character.

[@Sonicjan]

Because of the fans asking for Guns in Sonic-games, we got Gamma, Tails and Eggman mecha-gameplay (Adventure 2) and Shadow the Hedgehog (game). However, I personally like it and it really fits Shadow, so I don't really understand the hate for that... I also like those multiple Story-pathways, were you can see alternate results. And like the first Sonic-games, only the good ending is canon (Sonic got all Chaos Emeralds and defeated Eggman, Shadow got all Chaos Emeralds, choose the right path and knew he wasn't an Android, so he destroyed Devil Doom).

[@PikaLink91]

Why is it that the Beta of a game, more often than not, seems much more interesting than the final product? Also, I find it very lackluster that Sonic Team apparently planned for Super Sonic to be playable in regular stages but decided to cut that feature. Breezing through the game (after completion) as Super Sonic, raping everything in your path, is what makes it so fullfilling to collect all the Chaos Emeralds. And then I don't care if the stages aren't built for Super Sonic, I would have wanted him playable anyway, Bad excuse is bad, Sonic Team.

[@KyanbuXM]

Thing is, SS would play just fine in these stages too. Regardless of rather or not he'd break the game. The only other excuse I can think of is that SA's hit detection can be glitchy at times. So maybe during test play, SS kept clipping through objects when at high speed. And with little time left to debug him let alone the rest of the game. They simply just left him out. The fact that there's even a voice clip helps show that this might have been a very late possibly last minute cut.

[@Treyworld]

Plus it could have been added within any of the re-releases of Sonic Adventure for crying out loud!

[@PikaLink91]

***** No, I would not, because the Beta often just DOES look more polished. Like the water effects in Kingdom Valley in 06 which were removed in the final game. Trust me, if we had gotten the beta, and when then exposed to the current final game afterwards, I would look at it and think.... ain't something missing here??

[@WaterKirby1994]

The reason for why Beta's are more interesting is because of how generally corporations don't provide information on them, it's that mysterious coverup aspect that makes them interesting.

[@markasscop]

***** are you kidding me? isn't this common sense that beta's seem more interesting b/c we're so used to what we saw in the final game

[@superfuntimeanimalsedition961]

you really should have stuck to the dreamcast version.

[@squidcat1489]

I love these videos! Could it be that Knuckles was going to be the first playable character at the start? Could that be why it's his voice in the menus?

[@bennettwaisbren]

I have no problem admitting that nostalgia absolutely clouds my judgement of this game. I adored it as a kid despite any of its objective technical flaws. I miss being so naive and filled with wonder.

[@notyobusiness7054]

wow this makes me sad, i feel like this game just came out, feels like yesterday, i remember waiting at gamecrazy/hollywood video tryna get this game haha

[@notyobusiness7054]

22 lol how come?

[@niespeludo]

You would have been 4 by 1998...

[@notyobusiness7054]

i was 5 when it came out and i actually do remember waiting for it :P i cried cause by the time we got there, they was sold out haha

[@julesk1088]

Love that:)

[@veritlate815]

Sonic Adventure *& KNUCKLES*

[@patrickla6452]

the knuckles voice in the E3 beta really reminds me of movie knuckles

[@superpokemonbros.9441]

I feel like the e3 knuckles voice fits better

[@SewerYum]

Yeah I agree. I mean if this voice wasn't good, then not many people would've liked movie knuckles voice.

[@Star77Z]

20:55 I remember playing with super sonic in the pc version after finishing the game and I heard that too

[@metosoreru]

Man, this game was my childhood. thanks so much for making this video! Great nostalgia trip.

[@DjFrexira]

I don't know why Sega can't just listen to their fans and make a Sonic Adventure 3.

[@DjFrexira]

***** True... Sega fucks up everything.

[@ikagura]

+Jesus Fucking Christ Sadly, Sonic '06 IS adventure 3 without the name...

[@ostrichesandgin8570]

if they do i hope they ditch the multiple player thing and just stick to sonic

[@onmas909]

+IKAGURA96 not really. game play is different and it is actually a reboot instead of a sequel. sonic heroes follows the story from adventure 2 a bit more better.

[@ziadusama755]

Cancer Of KZbin. because it has been a game so many fans wanted so it can never live up to the expectations

[@heroessquad2019]

The way that Knuckles saying "Oh No" in the fight is his beta version...

[@SuperZach2005]

Even though there is images from DX, it doesn’t take quality away from the vid. It makes it look more hd

[@DarkMatter500]

I really want to know about SA2's Beta, since it has a lot of concepts that I saw changed and idea changed during development; like the name of stages "Jungle" & "Desert" where it's in this game and not SA1.

[@TheReapingBarracuda3]

Dude you are so amazing! I love all of the videos that you release! They're so interesting and really cool

[@axtonpino5213]

Poor Knuckles went through voice puberty at E3... I feel so bad :(

[@twoforfive9228]

I personally this Sonic Adventure is an amazing game.

[@RosalinaSama]

is the second chao icon meant to be a flag? maybe it is for the chao race in some way

[@toadinus]

That was only included in the DX version on the GameCube

[@sterlingmuse5808]

Nintentoad That doesn't mean they didn't originally intend to put it into the Dreamcast version but had to cut it out because it wasn't finished or something.

[@TheIcefreeze]

Wow Nostalgia is powerfull.. I remember this game being one of my favorite games ever when I was younger and having HD graphics

[@MrNayru]

Sonic Xtreme looks like it later became Minecraft

[@PixelSP]

Except is actually has a few round shapes

[@godofmediocrity7582]

Sonicraft

[@PixelSP]

+I ARE TECH's #1 Fan Why are you taking it so seriously? It was a joke!

[@schizophist2963]

it makes sense to say that it later became the main concept for sonic lost world

[@MrNayru]

It was a reference to the blocky art style, of course it has nothing to do with minecraft

[@pinhead62]

2021 Will be Sonic’s 30th Anniversary!

[@theflamealpha3053]

What about the fact that Sonic and Tails use simpler models during Sky Chase Acts 1 and 2 in the Dreamcast port, possibly the very same models used in Sonic R?

[@TheKeitaNobodyAskedFor]

That is a reference,not a beta thing

[@scoundrel8440]

"Dreamcast port" Hey fun fact, the Dreamcast version was the original version.

[@scoundrel8440]

@@TheKeitaNobodyAskedFor Now I'm not a technical expert or anything, but I don't think this is a reference and rather a quick and dandy way to save up on system resources. I mean, you were only supposed to see them from the back of the Tornado and yes, I know that cutscenes for those stages still use those models but come on, it's the Dreamcast, how many polygons on screen do you think it can load?

[@thesch2867]

Why compare the Beta Dreamcast footage and images to DX footage and images? DX looks completely different from the Dreamcast releases, emulating the game on Demul isn't even that hard.

[@MelodyTheFelony]

Anyone else getting this recommended to them 7 years later?

[@almond_22]

Yeah same

[@TheIbney00]

Odd I ever make a game, I'm going to make the earlier versions of the game available to the owners of it. I've always wished that debs would do this. I know it's a lot of work, but I always feel as if we're losing a part of gaming history.

[@3333218]

That's fair to ask but, I feel that most of the time developers don't want people looking into unfinished and unpolished stuff. Plus, that would require extra work most of the time. Cancelled or unfinished stuff is, well, unfinished or undone.

[@TheIbney00]

I am an obsesive note taker and keep everything in order all the time. Not to mention I can sti at a computer screen and do stuff all day as long as I have you tube by my side. If your wondering, all the games I want to make would be free as they are easy to make, and wouldn't be worth much if they wwere rices as they would be simple. But hey, who knows, I could be the next Gabe. So for commenting, heres my signature for if im famous some day. -ibney

[@3333218]

Ibney00 Good luck to you sir/madam!

[@TheIbney00]

TCMOREIRA Thank you Sir/Madam

[@3333218]

Ibney00 You're welcome. Also, you inspired me a little. Maybe in the game I'm developing right now, I'll release early builds and early screenshots; if people care. =]

[@bluelandyaandgreenlandya1788]

17:39 i believe that the flag emotion was when the chao was a sore loser

[@MrskipperCP]

Can you do a Sonic Adventure 2 episode next plz?

[@RedAtelier]

I like the beta chao garden music better.

[@bloopduped]

Same.

[@Dragonesa41083]

Same here and I actually liked that the chaos learned stuff on their own like drawing Knuckles on the floor since they didn’t have a Chao Kindergarten in the first game. That wasn’t introduced til the 2nd game. The chaos seem to have more emotion in the beta version too.

[@justanotheryoutubechannel]

Art 602 And Speed Highway too for me, I love them both better in the Beta.

[@justanotheryoutubechannel]

What would be better though would be if it had a slightly more quiet main theme, so you could still hear the drums, but also the Chao main bit,

[@Dragonesa41083]

I agree

[@UniversesUnited]

16:30 tbh, i liked the old voice compared to the newer one it just fits knuckles more than the lighter voice

[@Natboy129]

7:00 looks like an unfinished version of her final boss fight area thing...

[@JeremyBX]

Why is it so wrong to consider Sonic Adventure as both amazing and a buggy mess? I recently picked up the game on Steam for 2 bucks after being a Mario fan since 2007, and it's now my favorite Sonic non-fangame, but the flaws are definitely there.

[@hanezutchins2786]

Some people are rather passionate about a game being either good or bad. They can't except that their opinion isnt fact.

[@jateyboi1108]

Just coming back to this video I watched this and the sa2 video over and over *was obsessed with sonic* and coming back is bringing back bunch of memories like never new what sonic was standing on, on the thumbnail thought it was a couch I was a dumb kid lol

[@PWPictures67]

The Thumbnail looks like a picture of Sonic at Sand Hill.

[@zayJax]

poor andrew... playing the dx version

[@fpberserk4690]

zayJax It’s hardly any different.

[@daamazinfatb0y752]

The nostalgia is off the charts!!! I want a time machine now.

[@Egood_ty]

That dragon looks a lot like the dragon from Sonic 06..

[@NinjoXEnlightened]

Or the Egg Wyvern from Sonic Unleashed...

[@kylecampbell565]

Ninjo X Enlightened dragoon was unleashed wyvern was 06

[@NinjoXEnlightened]

Kyle Campbell my mistake... though I stand by the reference... just screwed up the names... at least I was still close right? At least I didn't say "Just like the egg Dragoon from The first area of Sonic Heroes."

[@forgotaboutthisaccountlol]

***** shiet you said whale.... WHALE WORD FROM (bought to you by) SONIC 0-FUCKING-6 biatch bidf0hgetrduoytennytioehuriou translates to sonic in simish

[@reginadeleon1911]

bread that is very inappropriate about sonic someone could just report it

[@rockandrule]

cant believe this video’s 7 years oldddd I’ve watched it so many times it feels like it was uploaded yesterday

[@rockandrule]

now 9 : D

[@dee4890]

Sonic actully had a unused model of classic sonic and somebody added it back and now sonic adventure looks even better!

[@nuuhtoyouruhhu]

Beta Knuckles sounded cooler.

[@mariajimenafigueroa8311]

Oh No

[@SonidoFenomenal]

9:17 looks like sonic R models

[@Beansman-gp3ws]

Actually, I bet 1/2 of the these graphical changes were made from the Dreamcast to the gGamecube, not from beta to Dreamcast.
