What if Sonic Unleashed had Adaptive Music?

It's been a long time huh? Sorry no Intro and Outro for this video haha.
I just made this video immediately after discovering this AWESOME banger by ‪@Dads_Last_Nerve‬. He made a "Battle" remix for Windmill Isle Night that tries to imagine Sonic Unleashed having a Battle remix for the current stage themes with adaptive music instead of the annoying Werehog Battle theme. So I made this what-if video to show what it would look like if Sonic Unleashed had adaptive music. I also used a mod made by a fellow member of the Hedgehog Engine Modding Server (HEMS) to make the battles longer and more challenging.
Keep in mind that this is NOT a mod. It's an edited video.
Link to the remix:

DUDE THIS IS SO COOL! This is exactly what I was thinking of when I made the remix! Amazing showcase, and thank you for the shoutout :)

[@_WildFireSpark]

You're very welcome! Please keep cooking! 🫡​

[@ner.tan11]

Wonderful job!!

[@Brain_With_Glasses]

They could probably keep the original jazz song for all the exorcist missions.

[@paperluigi6132]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[@iceicicle3046]

this game already has my favourite soundtrack in the series and this would've made it a million times better

[@GeorgeMartinus]

Yes, the musicians are f**ing great and make the game more enjoyable.

[@milesprower6110]

After playing Nier Automata, I definitely thought on how cool it would had been for Unleashed to have it to avoid restarting the track between scenarios like normal run, small enemies, horde, precision and semi boss moments...

[@hwanniggles187]

Current FF does this too

[@CorruptFox92]

I would honestly much prefer this to the same Werehog battle theme spammed every 5 seconds. I hope you guys make more remixes like this and somebody's able to mod it into the game.

[@Supersonicgaming11]

The guitar does a lot in changing the mood, this is an amazing concept that I wish was a real thing already in the game.

[@AnAngryGranny]

It's so jarring seeing the Werehog get into an actual fight and *not* hearing that brass section blare out, "BA-DA BA BA DA BA-DA BA BA!!!"

[@ericwithak]

5:12 the way the music and combo move was timed right there is just🔥🔥🔥

[@JTthrowback]

Watching this video made me physically mad about what they could've done, yet right at home when I realized I'm not alone with this idea.

[@SHADZA4321]

Honestly, what should have been the case in the actual game imo. Makes the night stages flow more smoothly. This is an awesome edit.

[@Ashinle]

It weirded me out how a series with such absurdly great music didn't have this

[@sth2459]

Yeah, this could definitely work out as a mod, the music is so cool too! Props to the dude that made it! Nice gameplay too homie!

[@DLGanimator]

I miss the battle theme to be honest. It never felt annoying to me, and I really like it. I know, such an unpopular take

[@chimklee]

I agree

[@kennmaskin]

It’s not the battle theme itself that’s annoying imo, but how much it shows up because of how long the levels are is annoying

[@itzjtz1559]

I really like this take because as you get further on, the stages get longer so we get so much time with the regular ost, the battle music doesn’t take up much of the gameplay time💯 that’s why I’m so n your side with this take honestly

[@k_artcam]

If they make a remaster/remake of the game, THIS is the first thing they've to do

[@emanchi8403]

This is so cool! Sound effects were a bit too loud though so I had a hard time hearing it. If they ever port Unleashed again they really need to do something about that battle music. The werehog themes are some of my favorite.

[@_WildFireSpark]

I've got you covered :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2LFZKWPgNKUrNk

[@JPDoomBlue]

You aren't a failure :) you still can bro i believe in you

[@dmc4927]

Devil May Unleashed

[@ner.tan11]

Oddly enough, this fixes my biggest personal complaint with the werehog levels. If this is how they were I’d genuinely have more fun with them. Great job!

[@-saintsiiirow-6795]

I've always loved when games incorporate adaptive music to fit the moment. It would feel weird hearing the out of combat music 24/7 lol.

[@raphaelangelo5781]

I've been talking about this idea with some friends for a few years now, I even used the Cood Edge NIght cover from @SonicGuitars Channel to show my example, but at the time I manually increased and decreased the volume with two browser tabs open. I was stalling to make a video of my idea. I'm happy to know that I wasn't the only one who thought about the potential this idea has. I hope they can make a mod for this one day

[@paulo547]

Man that would have been an awesome mod. I would have downloaded it right away and try it

[@AlyCatVR]

I'd so play this game again if it had adaptive music; this sounds so cool!

[@samuellandin]

*Good God!* You can’t just give us the best solution to the repetitive fight music in the game and don’t provide a mod with this in the game But fr good edit, I hope when Sega launches the game the port or remaster they take notes

[@_WildFireSpark]

making a mod about this is kinda impossible for the time being. It requires tons of work and reverse engineering

[@samuellandin]

I know, I’m just hoping for the impossible or when Sega (hopefully) launches this game’s port for pc, someone remember this video e can make a mod for it

[@marquesgorham4226]

Damn the way the music changes when your in the middle of a fight is so fucking sick!!!! dude😳 I always thought the music interrupting the great music in the night stages was dumb this is a really great fix to that. Thank you for showing this cool change off

[@jonvlc]

IVE BEEN LOOKING SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR A WHILE THANK YOU

[@adem.3782]

he released a jungle joyride remix today 😭

[@Meatloaf456]

I NEED modders to get on this shit if it's even possible

[@masudhasan70]

Personally would've preferred if there were location-based variants/remixes of the Werehog battle theme (with the original jazz band version reserved for Empire City as it fits perfectly there) but this is pretty cool too.

[@Kenamickit]

Please contact some modder and make the most mind-blowing mod based on this

[@_WildFireSpark]

I am a modder myself. Although I had contact from other modders and they also confirmed that making an adaptive music mod is IMPOSSIBLE sadly. Our only hope is the PC port/Remaster

[@Kenamickit]

@@_WildFireSpark bruh

[@chrisrockett5897]

This goes so raw.

[@NickGoblin]

I've had this idea for years and you've beat me to the punch. Exactly what I wanted. Awesome job.

[@jadethehedgehogYT]

THESE PARTS ARE WILD!!! 1:50 and 6:28 As soo as this is made into a mod, I'm gonna play it

[@Naxaky]

perfection at its finest.

[@duck___e]

i’m gonna be honest, if this game had adaptive music like this, i would’ve honestly had so much more fun on these stages.

[@_XVIII_]

Very well edited!

[@frankiematosmusic]

this is soooooo much better holy shit

[@Sunny-uz8cw]

I don't find the music itself annoying, just the fact that it had to play every other second. It was an amazing track let down by how many times ya had to hear it. Still, definitely would've preferred something like this! Well made!

[@nezaniatoimya]

Just imagine A Sonic unleashed remaster for pc And this is one of the first mods to come out

[@TheRuggedEchinda]

Sonic Team, take notes

[@Abandoned2377]

This is what they shouldve done

[@HoodiewearingOpp]

The new battle theme reminds me of Ultrakill’s battle themes for some reason, I don’t know why, but that might just be me. But anyways, great video, and also nice job to the guy who made the battle theme remix!

[@strichbake]

i think that probably would be a more energetic and have more drums. But, its a cool remix!

[@ViperousVT]

So glad you guys added new tracks was getting sick of that repetitive jazz over and over again

[@artistanthony1007]

I really don't understand why SEGA hadn't thought of an earlier DLC to fix that or gave 7 unique battle themes.

[@Visi0nss]

🔥 f i r e 🔥

[@vantablackecho]

You know what, the werehog levels should’ve had this instead of that constant same song over and over again.

[@blackflame7317]

Hope we get a vid like this but in Cool Edge Night!

[@_WildFireSpark]

Soon!

[@retrorebootmusic]

DUDE I've been saying this is the objectively better choice for this game and I NEED it to become moddable to the point this can happen

[@TheUnknownPurple]

The video is showing a mod about soundtrack changes. Me: DAMN!!! BRO GOT EVERY COMBO IN ONE FIGHT, SO COOL!!! 👀

[@CrimsonSkyLine]

HOLLY SHIT We must let sega see this, crazy good idea for the (hopefully) eventual Unleashed remaster

[@jimmysmomschannel]

Sonic Generations' Green hill Act 2 has adaptive music. The song gets more acoustic the faster you go

[@darkstar_220]

I get the craziest feeling of whiplash not hearing the werehog battle theme

[@lara3780]

i would totally play this

[@wa7dany577]

I want my PC to run Sonic Unleashed like this 😢

[@Sonickid01]

Somebody make this a mod now. I would pay every single penny for a mod that does this.

[@rishenxb1s705]

Bro, someone has to make this into a mod

[@_WildFireSpark]

Impossible

[@Rhodochrone]

Super weird, I did exactly the same thing, made a battle layer for Apotos a few years ago. Different style though

[@TheWaffleFactory]

If Unleahsed EVER gets a rerelease, sega needs to do this. Its so much better than the jazz band ruining the vibe. I also dont much care for the autotune effect sonic has in the day when he boosts ( this is in every game now for some reason) I much prefer the adaptive music approach. They actually did it in generations but only with 2 levels for some reason? (modern green hill and modern sky sanctuary)

[@elheroedeljuego5352]

eso hubiera estado mejor que la repetitiva y cansada musica de combate por defecto xD

[@KuroAzure64]

Wish it was a mod tbh

[@GuiGuitozao]

Do you know an estimate or idea of ​​when the Knuckles Unscathed mod will be done/public? I would really like to try this mod together with Foreign Input, this mod seems to be very good

I mean, I've always thought this would make total sense for Unleashed. If they ever remaster it, I really hope they do something like that

It's not a mod. It's impossible to do an Adaptive Music mod for Nighttime stages for the time being. But someday it may happen

​@@_WildFireSpark Oh.

[@truemetalsonic]

This is a massive improvement but i think the battle theme should still be around for some occasions - maybe remixed into the level theme so we dont have bwah bwah bwah suddenly

[@artistanthony1007]

That song was originally for Empire City just so you know so.
