Sonic Adventure RTX 0.8.0 | Speed Highway Gameplay (Outdated)

[@crazytot10]

it gives the atmosphere so much more texture, even with the lower resolution. reminds me of what prerendered cutscenes looked like in the 2000s. great mod.

[@maroonhathacker]

What's good about this mod, is that actual work was put into this. With a lot of "ray tracing" mods, it just makes everything looks like it's been rained on, and it's just unrealistically reflected. This though: this looks like a lot of manual effort went into making everything reflect light correctly, making it look really good. It's just a shame that (a) I run linux, which has not played nice with the mod loader and (b) I only have a GTX 1060 6GB.

This is how all the magazines and trailers hyped Sonic Adventure in 1998! XD

[@aortaplatinum]

I'm so used to the Dreamcast version's lighting that this just looks like an enhanced version of it. Not to downplay this project at all, but SonicTeam was CRAZY ahead of their time with SA1's lighting engine.

[@rev1474]

Thats what im going for 👍 Edit: Well the lighting itself was good, but the engine hasn't aged so well

[@RandomizationShow]

You're a whole blessing to this community, thanks. Hope u consider sa2b when dx is done

[@underdonetoast3335]

I think its interesting how the mod isn't really thaaat much better than the og dreamcast version which goes to show how ahead of its time the dreamcast was with its lighting

[@rev1474]

Lol

[@RandomizationShow]

You're on crack 😂

[@YorkieChannelYT]

Is this actually RTX or is this some just good lighting mod cuz jeez this looks amazing

[@rev1474]

Yup its RTX

[@ArmoredarmadilloX]

Looks super good, all I think it needs is a darker skybox.

[@rev1474]

100%, Remix has very limited skybox features right now, hopefully better ones will be added soon, but for now, they unfortunately look like that

[@yaya_dream]

Is it mandatory to have an RTX? (Otherwise you did a fantastic job, thank you!)

[@rev1474]

Yeah, or any ray tracing capable card from AMD

[@ramazan804]

I have a recommendation for you. I would be very happy if you use info of autodemo's level lightning and as well as other level lightnings from various other versions of game so it can look as developers intended them to look in each part of the game while being way better thanks to your work. Please don't get me wrong but improving the lightning by the way it originally intended to look rather than how it currently looks feels like a way better way to create the rtx.

[@rev1474]

Right, but the autodemo lighting isn't what was intended, because the autodemo never released, we aren't even supposed to have the autodemo, so I'm going off of the original official Dreamcast lighting.

[@ramazan804]

@@rev1474 It actually was, as it was originally intended to be way darker but they had do make it more lighter because of hardware issues rather than their wants. Since we have that hardware now, hope you take it into consideration.

[@Kahunaseb]

Rtx remix? Looks amazing

[@rev1474]

Yup

[@Eichro]

It's impressive how these RTX modifications on older games manage to glue so well with the original styles. I wonder if there's any way to make the colors less washed out, though?

[@eatchickeninthekitchen8665]

Is that the "Post-SA1 lightdash on Y button" mod?

[@rev1474]

Yup

[@PopularNoise]

Could you make an installation video? I know the steps are simple but I cannot get this to work

[@rev1474]

The newest version has an installer, download that and run it

[@sandr_]

Looks really hazy, reminds me of the GTA remastered trilogy too lol. Cool though

[@rev1474]

Hazy as in foggy? it's supposed to, at least on speed highway Edit: Well the skybox being way too bright probably doesn't help, there are some major features missing related to skyboxes that currently don't exist in Remix right now, but I think they're working on it

[@tek3576]

cool mod but seems to stop any controller input and forces mk controls. also only seems to be playable at DLSS ultra performance even tho i got a better gpu than yours (3070).

[@rev1474]

This mod doesnt make any controller issues, and try lowering your resolution, I dont know if you have 4k monitor or not, but if you're rendering it at such high resolutions, even using a 3070 it wont run well

[@tek3576]

​@rev1474 I'm only rendering it at 1440p which I don't think should be all that taxing for a dreamcast/gamecube game. I'll try 1080p and see what happens

[@rev1474]

@@tek3576 That's quite strange then, you should be running fine @ 1440, perhaps updating your drivers might help? Very odd

[@DeskoDev]

​​​​@@rev1474 Haven't tried 0.8.0 yet but on 0.7.5 I think, but on my main desktop (2080S) it usually doesn't hit 60 on anything above DLSS Ultra Performance, and even that has dips in some areas like the pool area in Station Square. Had the latest drivers fully clean installed before I tried it for the first time. Don't have any control issues, though.

[@tek3576]

@@rev1474 drivers are always updated to the lastest version so idk what's up. only mods i have are the DC Conversion mods that work with yours. anyway i did get better performance at 1080p but it's only ever smooth performance. balanced and quality are playable but fps drops are more noticeable so it's not worth playing. only real downside is the game looks fuzzy and im still only able to play with a keyboard not sure why
