This Game was so ahead of its time
It took 2 Console generations for it to run at 60fps without drops, Unleashed on PC is still the best looking sonic game despite being 13 years old
Alot of games from the ps3/360 era were held back by the limitations
It’s 30 FPS for consoles
No it was just poorly optimized
@@thesenordido1759 fr
Na Games looked better than Unleashed during Ps3 and 360 era and ran better, Unleashed is just poorly optimized.
"It took 2 Console generations for it to run at 60fps without drops" isn't that a bad thing? the game could've been optimized better.
It is and it isnt. Its bad because it shows poor optimization but its also amazing because it shows how advanced for it's time Unleashed was especially with how beautiful the art is. Its a matter of persepctive
Because of the style of game it’s hard to optimize it for 360/ps3 even ps4/xb1
Even for a 14 year old game that's crazy
No, simply by looking at the console's hardware, and at how good the game looks seriously the game looks like better than the time's games look at it.
To be fair, this is running on an emulator, which is an order of magnitude more demanding than native. It could have been 0-1 generations once emulation overhead is removed.
this game deserves to be played this way, crazy how only recently its been possible to get this game running almost flawlessly. shows how far ahead of its time sonic unleashed was
actually im pretty sure it was all possible with RPCS3. an they had to reverse engineer the xbox code to get an emu running
@@kirberburgy ah yes RPCS3 an xbox emulator, dont forget xenia the best PS3 emulator🥶😎
@@senttex1407 Got it backwards
No it was just badly optimised nothing to be proud of
@@t4kumi704 Glad im not the only person in here not so ar up segas ass.
I failed nnn watching matt play werehog at 60fps
Lmao
sonic unleashed made me lose NNN.
Wtf 🤣
Bro?
*wait……wha-*
As a person who grew up with the PS2 version of Sonic Unleashed, and never getting to experience the HD version, this game being playable on PC a literal dream. Although, I reckon the requirements for at least a half-smooth experience are pretty high.
Same I grew up with the PS2 version too 🤩🤩☺️☺️
There never was an HD version. The 360/PS3 run in an anamorphic 720p which is not HD, even on the Series X with frame boost it’s still sub-HD
@@prodigy-hu6dy technically 720p is HD it is called "standard high-definition" a quick Google search confirms this, not to be that guy or anything, hopefully this correction doesn't sound rude.
But yeah a FHD (Full HD is 1080p) or an UHD release natively on PC would be a literal dream, hopefully a fan decompiles the source code or SEGA does a remaster and natively ports it for this dream to be reality. :)
@@Incognito-gh5qi there’s a difference between 880x720p (not HD) vs 1280x720p (standard HD) it’s called Anamorphic 720p
I have the Wii version still and it was my introduction to Sonic games.
All I feel is bliss with this game. Still waiting for that PC port tho.
We all do
@@Blueji you could use xenia instead of waiting
don't get your hopes up if sega comes with sonic unleashed ultimate edition
If you have a Xbox series s/x then good cuz you can get sonic unleashed on there and it’s still 60fps
@@toasterpluto1778 we want a PC port bud
You can play Unleashed on Xbox one,SeriesX/S and it's 60 fps.
I will play almost any beat ‘em up game you throw at me from Batman Arkham to Yakuza, so the werehog stages were really fun for me. I love the exploration and detailed setpieces that you basically miss in the day time stages because you are literally going the speed of a bullet. Really hope we get a Sonic Unleashed Ultimate.
same ive always loved werehog stages, even as a little kid i would legit grind the bosses out like the pheonix in the china area, i would grind it for hours because i found some strat to i think once or two cycle it and would just keep getting s ranks
@@emeraldiguana7316 agreed, the environments are so beautiful
i am like a year late, and i am sorry i'll break the magic but i don't think we're getting a PC port.. ever.
Havok engine licensing issues and all this nonsense about losing the game's code, one of these is true and we can't really do anything about it
Agreed man. I’ve enjoyed both modes for most my childhood and going back, my love of the game hasn’t changed. I do wish this one would get a pc port
@@eveefun8178 Even if we got this, I fully expect SEGA to somehow fuck it up cause they're SEGA
Nice goin. This game already runs beautifully on my Series S so I’m happy to see it running even better. Please remaster this sega.
After having achieved all the Unleashed trophies, I can say that for me it is the best experience I had with the sonic saga and the best sonic game, if they release a remaster or port of Unleashed, I'll get all the trophies again
I will never understand people that dislike the werehog levels, they were really fun to play and the music from the levels adding to the nice level design makes it great to play.
The combat sometimes gets repetitive , it’s slow, boring, and sometimes you can die and go back so far
@@justblazey_sp yeah I quit playing because of how annoying one of the werehog levels were. I kept dying too much while trying to get the medals
@@justblazey_sp also THE GODDAMN COMBAT MUSIC.ITS GONNA DRIVE ME CRAZY IF I EVEN TRY TO BEAT THE GAME
Because when you finish the game the werehog levels get "repetitive", because you'll mostly use YYXXX combo or knuckle sandwich, and the combat music made a lot of people almost go "insane". So people disliking it is reasonable
@@CosmicSyl1 honestly i never tought the combat was repetitive and I really liked the dificult leves and the muisc never annoyed me
Thanks a lot for showing this is possible and giving a really inclusive review of how it works and whether it is worth it. I sadly never got to play any Sonic games, but I used to watch streamers play Sonic, and my favourite one which I still remember watching was Sonic Unleashed. I don't have a Xbox 360 on me and had completely forgotten about the game (7-8 years on) but I've been reminded due to the release of the new Sonic game coming up and this game came to my head. I'm really glad so many people enjoy this game as well in the comments and that everyone feels the same way about the game that I do.
I've just successfully emulated the game on Xenia and I am already having so much fun on the first tutorial, though I might go buy a Xbox 360 controller to get the full experience of playing this game as opposed to using my keyboard. I hope you are all as excited as I am as well for the new game which I hope won't lose out to any of its predecessors - and if anything, surpass them.
Oh my gosh, turning off Werehog battle theme is an option!? That raises the game an entire point on the rating scale with that mod alone. I'd love to play this so much.
Wow this is cool, I tried this for myself a while ago and I just couldn’t make it work, it was just a glitchy disaster of graphical garbage. I tried RCPS3 and the day stages were great, but the night stages ran at 10fps at all times. It’s really impressive how good the results you’re getting is. I literally brought myself a 360 just for this game a week ago and I wish I’d been able to make this work to save me the money lmao. It’s impressive how this emulator seems to run it way better than RCPS3.
"I feel like Goku when he goes ultra instinct" Werehog: *blows up earth with the ground punch move*
I was one of the lucky few who could play modded Unleashed on the console (PS3 in my case). The modding process was much more complicated, but the result was always worth it. Having the Soap shoes, tighter Drift, no-delay Homing Attack on the jump button, and faster Wall-Jumping a la Gens' Direct Jump Skill already made the daytime gameplay much more fun. I tried making the Egg Fighters orange to resemble the Egg Pawns, and it suits them, ngl. I also found a hidden wall-crashing feature, which isn't as complete (lacking sounds and a kip/stand up animation) and funny as the Wii version's but is a nice added difficulty.
This game is WAY ahead of its time, I really hope there’s a PC port, I’m currently playing it on the PS3 but ima try Xenia
Although it’s looks good it’s just poorly optimized.
Goodbye xenia. Sonic unleashed now run 4k 60fps on xbox series x
"Oh wow xenia has the homing attack mapped to A oooh what a big deal."
Nice review on the port, you always make my day with your amazing content, Matt😄👏👏👏
Thanks for enjoying, I really appreciate it!
@@Matthasnocuts Sonic Unleashed pretty much made your channel grow.
@@Matthasnocuts do you have any link to download the game?
@@Matthasnocuts nice vid can you make a vid on how to get it working in 2022 because I’m struggling to get the 100 save file and the iso extract working
Some people say that this game wasn't ported to PC because of the bad reception it got when it first came out, but I gotta say, that is not a good excuse. I like exploring around for medals, and I love the werehog stages.
I mean lost world wasnt critically acclaimed yet it had a pc port
"emulating games like Halo"
Why would I do that when MCC exists?!
I friggin wish I could get a new PC to play this. In the mean time, I'm buying Unleashed on PS3.
czcams.com/video/O4WbmIpOM_E/video.html
That’s awesome. Hope you have fun regardless. I think any version of unleashed is fine. I play it on the Series S.
@@katsef3934 yeah. I also have it on my 360, which is what I gree up on. It's just that my 360 is about to be 10 and it's had a long run. I just bought a PS3 so... Y'know gotta get the essentials! Amazing game.
@@TailsGuy72
Sonic Unleashed apparently performs worse on PS3 tho
@@Laiser Depends. It runs at an uncapped is fps, but it dips in other areas. Silky smooth holoska on real hardware, but rough Adabat. It's good for me. I'll be buying another copy of 06 too, and ripping it onto an SSD to deal with loading. Apparently the loading is an issue on PS3. I grew up on 360 and it wasn't all to bad.
Basically every issue here can be fixed with mods, my first full playthrough of the game was on xenia and i loved it
I cant get past the first few minutes of gameplay before i get weird glitches with the landscape. And after that the screen goes black(except the score) and eventually the game crashes. How did you get around this? Or does anyone have a fix.
This is really amazing to see! However I'd like to point out that Unleashed on the Xbox One and onwards looks much better than its original release. The framerate is so much better and it looks like it has anti-aliasing too. It looks much more like Xenia footage in your video than the Xbox 360 footage.
The Xbox One does have better framerate but it still dips at tight Werehog sections, Jungle Joyride and in EggmanLand. You GOTTA see how the Series X is able to perform in that game!
It ain't 60FPS, but it's a huge difference!
@@SpiritofFireMrVaderYeah, I've seen it on CZcams, and I'm super impressed! That's why I said "Xbox One and onwards." 😊
I have an Xbox One and i have recently beaten Unleashed, awesome experience
Unleashed was on Ps4 for the time they were doing that "PS Now" gamepass thing and it looked and played really good
I played this game like a maniac on my ps2 back in the day, I always played all the Sonic stages literally until I played them perfectly, you could feel the speed and also you could feel that you were traveling the world at high speed, no other sonic game has done that.
For me this is one of the best Sonic game I ever played.
for me, the game crashes, on the desert werehog stage so if I keep playing will it stop?
hey do you have or can make a vidieo on how to install of all this cuz i played sonic unleashed when i was a kid and i still remember its my most fav sonic game ever but i dont have the game and console anymore and would love to play it on pc?
Sonic Unleashed is second favorite game and I really like the werehog stages.
Dunno if somebody commented this already, but the reason it feels like it runs better the more you play, is because as new textures and animations load in, Xenia caches those textures and animations, so they can be reused in points where the same animations and textures are. So the first playthrough of a level might be rough, but the second playthrough is smooth.
The fps drops on Xenia how could i fix them? I run 20 fps max with Ryzen 5 4600x and GTX 1060. The night stages and the hub run at 5 fps.
Unleashed plays at a constant framerate on Series X but the mod support for Xenia is insane
It feels so weird watching the game run at a smooth 60fps because i'm so used to the choppy fps
Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t you need the Xenia Unleashed mod to actually play the game? Last time I checked, the game would crash at the beginning of the first boost stage.
I recently finished this game on Xenia Canary (yes, it is fully playable now with little to no crashes, at least from what I've seen), and wow was it quite the experience. While yeah, it ran at like 15-20 FPS on my system, I've had the most fun I've ever felt since freaking Hollow Knight (and that game was a near perfect masterpiece!). That's how you know it's awesome.
Damn. It runs good for me apart from the constant crashes 😢
What are the pc specs needed to run it that smoothly? Do you guys know?
I like how in 2022 sonic unleashed is more talked about than ever
Will it ever get a official steam port? Also dumb question but does this rom include official cutscenes and day exploration stages? I think the Generations one doesn't.
Hey can you tell me your config? I don't understand xenia configuration
do you know where can i find Sonic Unleashed Rom?
Does anyone know where i can download this it looks too good for me to not play :(
im trying to play sonic unleashed on pc using rpcs5 im running it very well but randomly after a few minutes it freezes and crashes
didn't this come to xbox back compat with 4k 60?
What is your computer specs real quick? I want to know what I need to run unleashed that well with emulation.
Just found this video and almost cried because there is another brother in arms in the world who know what’s up-Sonic Unleashed is the best 3d sonic game🤷🏾♂️
is it really that laggy on xbox? haven't seen many frame drops (except in the night stages) unless its just 30 fps and thats why it doesnt look so smooth
anyway i'm playing on the 2010 x360 slim
it might be more laggy on my pc on xenia.but on rpcs3 25 fps at most. and most of the time 20 or 10 fps.a lot more playable on the 360
Happy to see that Xenia is coming along nicely
Same! It's wild to think that a few years ago many of the games were barely even playable on this emulator.
If this game didn't have the nighttime stages, it would've probably been the perfect sonic game.
I wish I could play this but every time windmill isle act 1 crashes at the end anyone know how to fix it
The pc version is literally how it looks on xenia. Love it
Unleash needs a remake. It was my favorite sonic game when I was younger
Honestly I don't want Sega remastering unleashed, I would only want a port. With a higher resolution, and 60fps
Matt i'm so addicted to your content so I turned notificatons on.
Is it better on rpcs3 or xenia in crashing
OK what your pc specs? Does this emulator will work good with 2016 hardware?
emulation is the future of retro gaming and semi modern gaming, without emulation most games would die from inaccessibility, but because emulation exists it is possible to enjoy the best version of every game
Matt done the unkown 😳
Where do I download the rom
It's impressive how some PS3/360 games like Unleashed has graphics that can live up to these times and look good without an excessive effort, compared to a lot of games nowadays (not all) that pretend and compete so hard about getting the most realistic graphics of the market and failing miserably or losing the enjoyment of the gameplay.
Of course, it makes me happy that the emulators on PS3 / X360 are kinda finished, but it sucks that I need a really good CPU for that :(
4:58
How do i download the game? I have xenia
also the more you play, the more the shaders compile so it's less prone to crashing over time
I’ve been trying to play it on pc for a while and I don’t know how, I’ve tried yt tutorials but me and my friends all end up stumped with no one to help lmao
You're lucky, I just COULD NOT get the Xenia version running without a load of artifacting completely covering the screen. I have to deal with random crashes on RPSC3 (PS3 version) and I don't dare mess around with the video settings, but that's the more stable one of the two. I HATE that Unleashed isn't properly on PC. I think it will eventually (like Colours) but when?
I will say if you really wanna play Unleashed day stages there's always SU Redux which is an enhanced version of Unleashed project, it has the physics too so. There ya go.
Hey look. Tech finally caught up to Unleashed.
7:23 dude just predicted Sonic Frontiers 😂
what are the requirements to run it
do you have any link for me to download?
Can I have the ISO you used for the Sonic Unleashed for Xenia?
So , can i ask your PC specifications?
i love rewatching this video idk why
My all time favourite Sonic game!!
How do ya all get it working?😭😢 it always crashes or glotches out on me😭😭
I remember I saw that game on 8 Smart TV when I first went into a Smartphone store to buy my first phone.
I loved playing sonic unleashed on my ps3 that i dont have anymore,and i gotta say that sonic unleashed is probably my favorite sonic game and i dont understand why people dont like the werehog stages,yeah its slow but it has actual combat and i had a lot of fun learning new combos.also the werehog battle time is such a banger in my opinion.
11:45 how tf do you get near 5 minutes on any wetehog stage, minimum for me is like 15 minutes
Sega composers on their way to make absolute banger for anothrr game about blue hedgehog:
You can go find your save files in whatever drive Xenia is installed under. Delete the file and it'll restart from square one
Still looks incredible and better than even the newer sonic games.
I got a really weird issue where it randomly filled my screen with random messed up meshes. I really can't explain what the hell was happening, the closest comparison I can make is when you really screw up a ragdoll in GMod and it fills up literally everything on the screen
You mean those random black and seaweed green triangle things?Press f5 to fix it
Where can I get mods plz
can someone help me find a iso of sonic unleashed i really need it quick
Is Xenia harder to run than rpcs3?
yo can you plz tell me how to install it.
We need the next sonic game to take inspiration from unleashed
Just got the CD soundtrack for this game today at 2:25p.m. and it's the Planetary Pieces Sonic World Adventure Original Soundrack CD and I'm listening to it while watching this! 7:22p.m. 6/15/2023
You'd be happy to know that it's now possible to play the game from start to finish at 60FPS on Xenia! Although I wouldn't be surprised if you already knew this.
Why does your Xbox version look so choppy and slow?
Mine doesn't do that, is it a PAL/NTSC version difference or something? (I'm a PAL region)
I know the formats have become redundant, but some games have things added, removed or changed in different regions so I thought I'd ask.
But my Xbox 360 runs it way smoother, unless it's a video capture issue, I've noticed 30fps in some captures looks worse than others.
Ikr
Gex on modern hardware truly is the greatest gift bestowed upon us humans from modders and emulation.
do i need a disc emulate it
yo how do you get it to run good on xenia? whenever I try it always fucks up the first act with textures being fucked up and everything
You gotta use a 100 percent save file as the game cannot be done from start to finish, meaning you can't start a new game you just gotta use a save file with all the stages unlocked.
do you have a link where I can download a 100% save file?
@@RukaLucio Sure. But first I gotta ask something. Are you running Sonic Unleashed with the iso or a xex file?
Matt! I have a thing to say. It isn't related to the video, but it's clear how a lot of people (including me) want a sonic adventure remake. However, recently the PEGI (our rating sistem from europe) announced that every game that have something related to casinos and hazard play and things like that will be PEGI 18 (18+)
The only way this can be avoided is if the game is a port. If the game is a port, the rating will stay the same. Buy if Sonic team has to get sonic adventure in modern hardwares it will probably be a remake, because a remaster doesn't make sense and a port will not sale as much as a remake. Plus if they do a port they will probably port SADX and that's bad because that remake is made whit feet. If they do a remake or a remaster, in Europe that will be rated 18+. What do you think?
My question is, how do people already know how to actually get the ISO? Do they get it from their own personal copy of Unleashed? If that's so, then I'm stuck at step 2, step 1 is owning Unleashed, step 2 is extracting the ISO, which I have no idea how since Unleashed is a console game
Where do you even get the iso bruh
I wish that you could please explain how you got sonic unleashed on PC?
Its a real shame that my xbox doesnt work anymore, I cant find anyway to get the sonic unleashed file so I cant play on pc, so sad
The problem with playing Unleashed on Xenia is it crashes constantly even with a hack that fixes a lot of the crashes.
idk about if ps5 has a fps boosted one but i can say the one on series x rocks
Question: how does the game feel while playing on dolphin emulator? I believe it also emulates wii games and since sonic unleashed was also released on the wii I wonder how it runs there?
It’s a completely different game for wii but dolphin is great literally like all games work amazing and yes the game runs great on dolphin
