I played SA1 for the first time this year and still absolutely loved it. The cutscenes have aged poorly and sure, it’s a bit glitchy, but the level design and soundtrack are brilliant. Sega NEED to remake this game

[@gadget8637]

A bit glitchy?

[@themadhattress5008]

As much as Sega loves pushing the nostalgia factor for Sonic (God, Classic Sonic has been in pretty much every major release since Generations), they could stand to remake the older games. Another option they could take so they don't have to shoehorn Classic Sonic into a game with the exact same formula as Generations/Unleashed is they could go the "Mario Maker" route. Yeah, it'd be cheap and they'd get shit for basically doing what Nintendo has done, but allowing people to make their own classic -- or even modern -- Sonic levels would be incredible in terms of innovation. If only Sonic were handled well enough and was more respected by Sega themselves.

[@CornerstoneMinistry316]

They did remake it.....for gamecube

[@manimanistatue]

Max Attax That was a “remaster” which was actually worse than the original in several ways. I’m talking a Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy style remake

Nice thing about the Gamecube version is you can unlock roms of the Game Gear games of Sonic which is better then just "Metal Sonic Skin" and you can still get that skin.

[@themadhattress5008]

But they released collections of all the Sonic games on their classic consoles, like Sonic Spinball, Sonic 1-3, etc. I think the compilation was called "Sega Gems" or some shit? Either way, it makes the ports on the GameCube version a little pointless. Nevertheless, it was still cool to see older Sonic games on the DX version of the game as a kid -- especially since I hadn't really played 2D Sonic games aside from Sonic Advance 3 at the time.

[@saurontakeson8403]

Like all the extra foliage, trees and photorealistic textures the dev team got from pictures they took in some real world locations! Not to mention it allows you to modify the game in an infinite number of ways! Things like changing your character on the fly in game with a click of a button (on your controller!) and playing as Super Sonic in any level as well! Just like you've always wanted!!!

Personally, i like the adventure games more because they are similar to the genesis games. Generations is also a good game but i never liked the boost formula.

[@SuperSSSSooonniicccc]

Yeah even in 3D sections boost sonic plays like a 2D game. You shift lanes in 2D fashion, mostly move forward, and the 3D sections are less common like drifting. Then actual 2D sections furthers the problem. I'd like to see an improved version of the adventure or heroes (no not shadow the hedgehog) in the future as boost isn't that fun. Just lots of quick reactions gameplay

[@saricubra2867]

@@SuperSSSSooonniicccc Windy Valley Autodemo from Sonic Adventure it's like a stage straight from Sonic 3&K or something like that, meanwhile, a stage from Sonic Forces is basically a straight line and a boost to win mess. At least when you have lines you keep at least some other pathways or change the geometry of the level.

[@WhateverWhenever888]

Awesome episode as usual, i enjoy the couch setup you use in these videos, you do so much hard work and i don't know how you do it but remember that you have hundreds of thousands of appreciative fans, love ya man

[@emeraldveemon1746]

Plz complete digimon next order or cyber sleuth or hackers memory

[@linkinlovprk]

While I'd love for him to do that, we cant do that to the beardman

[@emeraldveemon1746]

Hackers memory ain’t that hard to complete unlike next order so I get what your saying

[@AndresLionheart]

I completed Next Order in January. It took me 95 hours, so it is not THAT much over what it took him to complete Sonic Adventure. But now that I think about it I didn't technically fully complete it, I only went as far as the platinum. I was still missing some Digimon, but that's about it.

[@emeraldveemon1746]

To complete next order it take about 110 hours

[@c3andmore454]

To be fair you can just leave the console on and idle grind in slueth and memory

[@romainbayer9098]

Just finished it for the first time. I think it is an incredibly addicting game and I had fun with every story.

[@doughnuthead8757]

Trashing on 3D Sonic is indeed old. We need more positivity with 3D Sonic.

[@Blueflag04]

Won't happen with all the delusional classic fans

[@tearlach47]

After all these years of watching stuff about Sonic and Mario on KZbin, I never knew about those development cycle periods! That is really something.

[@colleenglanville8293]

I agree with Jirard, I feel that people give to much hate toward the Sonic franchise, sure most of the games are a glitchy mess and sometimes the story makes no sense, but there has to be something to love about the franchise! 😄😁👍

[@StormKnight186]

Even though this game has several flaws, I’ve always had a soft spot for the adventure series. They’re definitely some of my favorites

[@SS3Dman]

Also in the Game Cube version you unlock sonic game gear games as you get more emblems

[@williamzingelman7392]

Underrated completion bonus for sure. Games within games are always fun.

[@there-is-onlynappa1544]

I remember when I was 7 and my grandma came into my room and gave me this game with 2 weird blue creatures on the front cover. I had never heard of sonic but the second I put that in my game cube I knew sonic would always be a part of my identity This game is the reason I became so passionate about the Blue blur and why I will wait patiently for another great sonic game. No matter how many Sonic boom‘s, forces, or 06’s come I will wait for the next great sonic game

[@MegaCloud05]

You should do Sonic Adventure 2. Completing that is crazy hard but still it's my favorite Sonic game ever despite the music being so loud you can hardly hear the characters talking lol

[@Comkill117]

He did years ago, so it’ll be another New Game Plus.

[@tjolney92]

Playing as metal sonic actually sounds awesome. Must be only for dx because I played the original so many times and never knew you could play as him.

[@TheSkullbones17]

BEST SONIC GAME IN EXISTENCE!!! 😊🎮🙌🏽

[@BurritoGaming]

Yea, but DX made the game graphics look like trash

[@TheSkullbones17]

@@BurritoGaming Sadly, yes...

[@BetterNateThanN3ver]

As soon as you said you’d be playing it on the 360 I was like NONONONONO!!!

[@Dan_D380]

I just want a generations 2 with a chao garden.

[@seren88]

Usually I'm never trying to catch a video early but I saw Sonic and my finger just....clicked on its own at such speed

[@GMast_]

Ok, who is with me for a remake for this game? Or better, a Adventure collection with Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Heroes with the name "The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog", with grafics similar to the beauty of Sonic Unleashed, and refined gameplay and better camera

[@Josh-The_Spooky_Bastard-]

If they put the effort to put in Heroes, they should put the effort in to add Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), with the current voice cast and an option for the originals. Why I say that for Shadow and ‘06, is because they basically share the same gameplay styles, and do deserve to be recognized as well.

[@GMast_]

@@Josh-The_Spooky_Bastard- I would call them for "The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog: The Dark Age" LMAO, but it could work with enough effort and help from fans who loves this game, search for how many fans are trying to remake these games, even if people say these games are bad, we love them, that's one of the things I love about the Sonic fanbase, they really do see the potential in these games

[@SuperSmithersGalaxy]

So awesome that you're working with Nintendo for indieland! Jirard, and all the rest of the team, you guys rule.

[@donivanbiggs6786]

*He’s come to make an announcement*

[@migaDbr]

Jirard is doing the lord's work, as usual! As for what new games we'd like to see, how about tackling more graphic adventures? Most require a single require playthrough, they aren't usually awfully long games, they tend to have an amazing sense of humour that Jirard would surely love, and they really could use a lot more love than they usually get. I long for the day Broken Sword will be featured in The Completionist. Or, heck, even Professor Layton!

[@ZechOfTheWest]

(This isnt a rant against Jirard, his review is fine. It's just other people.) Y'know. I really hate when people apply modern gaming perspectives to a 2 decade old game. Like dude, at the time it was incredible. Obviously it's not gonna hold up to modern games, which had more tools and less limitations. Duh. Aside from Big the Cat, SA1 is pretty good. Sure it looks...wacky...these days, but if you place yourself in the late 90's it becomes awesome. Worse thing is, they're starting to do the same thing to SA2 (Arguably the best game in existence, im not crazy, you are) You ever think we've become too critical as a collective? I miss that childhood wonder...

[@yourfriendlyneighbohoodpiz7683]

People judge the Adventure series as if it was released in this day-and-age, but it wasn’t. SA1 was the first 3D game Sonic had and people tend to highlight the flaws rather than what’s good about it.

[@saricubra2867]

@Just Squid SA2 has better treasure hunting stages than SA1 because you actually have to think to get each emerald and the hint system is great. If a stage like Mad Space becomes tedious, is because they nerfed the radar. Gamma's gameplay is better than the mechs, the level design for speed based stages still have branching paths but you don't have a setting like Sky Deck, Red Mountain. Linearity started with the boost formula.

[@yourfriendlyneighbohoodpiz7683]

Just Squid I disagree. The Adventure series translated the 2D Sonic formula into 3D too fluidly to not be considered a good transition. The foundation of SA1 and SA2’s design is pretty much on par with the design foundation of the classic Sonic games; fast-paced gameplay/platforming with rewarding exploration elements. And the implementation of that core design doesn’t necessarily means you have to go from point A to point B all of the time, and for all of their flaws, this was implemented well in the shooting and treasure hunting stages(which were obviously focused more on exploration). The reason they aren’t as well regarded as the Sonic stages wasn’t because they were bad, which they aren’t, it was because they were different and simply weren’t as fun due to the more restrictive, unique play styles they have. Also, later 3D Sonic games, while much more streamlined, took notes from the Adventure series with the way they incorporated an exploration element to a game mainly based on speed and platforming. Disagree all you want, the Adventure series was the closest we got to 3D Classic Sonic games, and are still solid games for their time. Also, Pumpkin Hill, Aquatic Mine, Wild Canyon, Mission Street, Weapon Bed, Sand Ocean, Prison Lane, Security Hall, Dry Lagoon, and Death Chamber.

[@saricubra2867]

@Just Squid I'm pretty sure that all of that RNG can be reduced with SA1's radar. The hub world alone is the reason of why i like more SA1 than 2. As for the level design, i still don't think is linear because you are not doing boost to win and taking only one path.

[@kirosenaka01]

A timeless game is a game that stands up to the test of time. Nostalgia is not a defense against age. I love SA, but you have to be able to put yourself out of the equation. "At the time it was revolutionary" is not a valid defense. There are good and bad games of every generation, and you can still like something that is not considered by the public as good, but you have to look at the game as a game. Yes graphics can get old and ugly, but bugs and mechanics at any era have always had the opportunity to be good, but it's on the devs to make them something special. TL:DR It is 100% fair to judge a game by modern standards. A good game is a good game no matter how new or old it is, and nostalgia is not a defense.

[@shawnheatherly]

Glad to see this game still holds up for you.

[@MakotoYoutube]

You Can Upgrade The Game In The Pc Version Called BetterSadx

[@TwoTailedCaperer]

Steam Version + Better SADX + Mods is still probably the best way to play SADX for me. Being able to play as Super Sonic in levels, getting any character into any stage you want, the (much better) Dreamcast lighting system & level geometry with the improved DX character models; that stuff is really cool and adds tons of replay value to the game

[@evilcrash8683]

AH YEAH , THIS IS STILL HAPPENING!!!

[@GarbageDayProductions]

New Game Plus is always a treat. Not only are they purely entertaining but it's always great to see how much Jirard has improved as a creator and reviewer.

[@TheButterlord]

Oof that intro didn't age well

[@lexanderlantion4393]

This is the game I always feel like playing for some reason. Just randomly. I don't know why, but it's worth going back to in all its shoddy glory and insane music. It has no right to be one of my favorite Sonic games but it is.

[@billfusion]

I haven't played this game in a while but, the only thing I can remember bad about Sonic Adventure is playing as Big The Cat!

[@Sonicfalcon16]

The Ice Cap jump for the rings mission is the hardest thing I ever had to do in the game. congrats on doing that man.

Please do SA2. I LOVED that game!

I dream of the day when Sega brings back the Adventure style full 3D games...love it! Also...bring back the chaos! Great video Jirard! 😎👍🏻

[@elegunte]

actually the best way to play sonic adventure is the pc version full in mods, in 4k, 60fps, sound improve, uses the characters from the dreamcast version or the modern version; fixes all the litle problems with many things and many more. That's all

[@lunarvania8073]

Jirard has said in the past he doesnt like completing games that have mods, even if they help bugs and glitches, it opens the door to people say he used other mods to help him when that might not even be the case, and in case you havent noticed he 99% sticks to console gaming because its what he grew up with, the only pc games ive seen him complete is Half Life and Portal.

[@BurritoGaming]

I still prefer playing it on my Dreamcast

[@SparksSupreme]

Thank you Jirard! Great video, great game. Sonic Adventure has my favorite story in a Sonic game and opened my heart for a 3d Sonic games. Although I played a PC version and it was a bit frustrating sometimes, I loved every single minute of it. Even Bid the Cat.
