Emerald Coast - Unreal Engine 5 Fan Remake | Sonic Adventure

[@JeliLiam]

DUE TO FEEDBACK AND HONESTLY AN OVERSIGHT ON MY PART I HAVE SINCE MADE THE SKY A DEEPER BLUE SCREENSHOTS: imgur.com/a/VPwBckP Thank you to everyone who pointed this out, it really ties it together better now, I wish I had recorded the video like this haha.

can you like send me a copy of mono i dont have the account i used to own it on and i cant buy it on steam....... i need to play it man... its like lost media

[@kurtisharen]

I think the main thing I’d change is some of the textures. Emerald Coast is supposed to be a resort, but you have things looking ages instead of upkept. For instance, the initial wooden walkway prior to the first loop looks like an old structure when in the original it had guard rails and looked nice. I think what I would have done is made a lot of it look like a resort while Sonic is actively using his speed to fling himself from island to island in ways that weren’t intended. I’d probably tuck small non-interactive docks onto any of the islands that had man-made fencing on it to show that normally people would take an hourly ferry or something to their own small semi-private island for sunbathing rather than zip directly from one to the other like Sonic is. The dock where the whale attacks Sonic would be a modern structure as well, but with visible damage and the gap being a broken section to indicate that the whale has been an issue in the area longer than just randomly deciding to harass Sonic specifically. Similarly, the bridge to the lighthouse would be a more recent bit of damage with a few things placed around to indicate that they’re about to start repairs. Maybe a badly-damaged staircase around the area you spring up to show that there was an intended route for normal people, it just got blown apart by whatever destroyed the bridge. (Maybe an extended cutscene showing Tails accidentally damaged it in his crash, and the only reason the plane survived that particular part of the impact was from the Chaos Emerald protecting it). Save the obviously overgrown setting as the hidden cove behind the lighthouse, showing that Sonic’s unusual route took him through an area that typical tourists don’t normally get to see, a small natural untouched oasis hidden away in the middle of the resort, before the last few islands return to the pattern of islands being actively used by tourists, and maybe add a few people standing around the outer edges of the final island looking over at the plane wreck, as though it only just happened and nobody’s worked up the courage yet to approach and see what happened. Basically try to play up the ambient storytelling of the area, and make the assorted islands make just slightly more sense beyond random structures that just happen to make a course for Sonic. Like the loops are still there, but people tend to build around them and they’re more of an odd natural structure that Sonic tends to utilize more than normal people.

Thank you for actually showing the level and not making it a speed run and skip sections, like every other modder. This is gorgeous work, although it feels a lot slower than the original. I can understand why, since this is a completely different engine. Overall, good work

[@ChrisLuigiTails]

Sonic is too small, that's one reason why it feels slower

[@sagecentral1809]

@@ChrisLuigiTailstbf if everything was the same size as the original it would be very hard to play, I think it’s a lot more spaced out to accommodate for Sonic’s speed in this engine. I know myself from working on Sonic Frontiers mods, it’s always best to make adventure levels a bit bigger, if you look at my final egg mod, the level is scaled up more to make it more fun to play.

Ngl, this is very impressive. I’m currently using the normal version of the Infinity Engine to make a Sonic fan game. The problem with Infintiy+ is that I couldn’t find any previous versions of the engine and the new version is like 3.9 GB which is crazy when people have to add things like cutscenes to the fan game.

God I would kill for an Unreal Engine 5 remake of Sonic Adventure. I love the original, it's probably one of the best looking games for it's time and while the animations and voice acting are rough today and were rough then, the game still holds up well even now. A remake with all-new beautiful stunning graphics would definitely make me love this game even more! Hope to see this project get around to being finished, looks awesome!

[@Oscar-Guzman]

I’m blown away. Sad to see comments who want to go back to older generation visuals. Especially the Frontiers slander in graphics. I want my favorite games to continue to evolve, not go backwards. Sonic Frontiers is absolutely beautiful. I love how they went all out on the graphics and still kept iconic landmarks throughout the islands.

I actually like this very realistic vibrant art style, it's how I imagined the Dreamcast would look in the future.

[@ReSoule]

Honestly, if it didnt have the exact level structure from SA1 and the music. It would be very hard to convince me it was supposed to be Emerald Coast. But then again, SA1 had a realistic graphic theme for the time. So I guess it makes sense. But still, it shows how Generations had the right idea of keeping levels semi-realistic.

[@SonicConnectOficial]

Your work is impeccable! As a Sonictuber from Brazil, I've seen countless fan projects, but yours turned out to be extremely interesting, so congratulations! If you release a demo, I'd love to try it out! I have an RX 6750XT with a video card. Take care! 💙

[@DatBoiRatchet]

EDP - I mean it's alright, like overrated as fuck

[@ExtraDan]

I've seen countless Emerald Coast remakes in the past, so many of them But I have never seen the stage getting completely reimagined Its like seeing the same level but from another complete different perspective I've seen so many attempts at the recreation of the stage, that it completely escaped my mind that this stage could have been set up the same but look utterly completely different, almost unfamiliar to the original stage. The original stage had this vibe going on, its like the most dominant ambient colors been light blue, green and light brown, all though that was all because the complexity of the og stage has been limited by the talents, knowledge and tech they had at the time, it was setting up a unique feel for the original stage that completely burnt into everybody's heads But nobody attempted at making the stage more complex, and this what makes this remake so interesting Its setup EXACTLY like the original stage, however it looks entirely different, like a new place, but in a way it just feels right! This is a beach like level, and yet for the first time in a long time it feels and look like an actual beach, almost like this what it should have looked like in the beginning if the team wasnt tied to all kind of constraints at the time. I was so used to seeing emerald coast in a certain way that its mind blowing seeing it so differently, but it works! and its executed so stupidly well hahahaha You and your team really outdid yourselves!

[@ExtraDan]

Great level design overall, this fucks so hard

[@toastednoodle60]

this feels way more pleasing to look at then the original

[@SArtisto1]

[@Samsgm]

Bro, I can’t even recognize the level anymore from how realistic it is

[@donkeycheese8098]

[@XxROTSA2xX]

Could use a bit more stylizing and polishing, but otherwise looks great.

[@Falvern57]

Impressive work! The only issues I really have with it is the overall lighting and the color of the sand. The ocean is the only thing really keeping it from looking like a desert stage rather than a beach.

[@slickrat]

The major change I would make is simply to change Sonic's "arms to the back" animation to trigger sooner. Sonic looks to be going really slow when the animation is not happening. And remember, the animation would trigger more easily on the original Sonic Adventure.

[@Electirc]

looks good but WAYYY too much motion blur

Not gonna lie im not really a fan of this. Graphically it looks nice but it completely butchers and abandons SA1's artstyle by using more realistic assets, making it kinda look generic and souless imo.
