Sonic Unleashed For Mac



It's awesome to see the last good 3D Sonic game, in my opinion, become backwards compatible on Xbox One! Awesome game with a good story & fun fast-paced gameplay. Sure, boost-formula Sonic games are over-used and soulless these days, but this was from a time before the modern day Sonic slump existed. The Soundtrack to Sonic Unleashed.

Sonic Unleashed (released as Sonic World Adventure in Japan), is a video game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for multiple platforms in 2008. The game follows Sonic the Hedgehog as he attempts to restore the world to normal after his nemesis, Doctor Eggman, splits the world into pieces, as well as his struggles with his new beast form, Sonic the Werehog. Gameplay features two distinct styles, with each being played either during daytime or night-time. Daytime stages incorporate Sonic's traditional platforming and trademark speed, with a combination of behind-the-back third-person viewpoints and 2D side-scroller platforming; gameplay seamlessly transitions between these two views. Night-time levels see Sonic transform into the Werehog; gameplay slows down to accommodate greater platform play, and involves combat against waves of enemies using the Werehog's brute strength.

Emulation Information

Controller Map Overlap

Sonic Unleashed is capable of using both GameCube controllers and Wii Remotes. If a physical controller is set to emulate both a GameCube Controller and a Wii Remote concurrently, it will operate both devices at the same time. To fix, migrate controls to use separate physical controllers.

Problems

There are no reported problems with this title.

Enhancements

60FPS hack

Enter this as an AR code in the game's configuration settings. This patch will unlock the game's frame rate from 30FPS on actual hardware to 60FPS.

Check 'Store EFB Copies To Texture Only.'. It may also be advisable to increase the emulated CPU clock to maintain 60FPS rendering. The 60 FPS is graphic dependent, so lowering the internal rendering resolution may be required to maintain 60 FPS.

Known problems:

  • Boss battles are broken.
  • May stop werehog from dashing to one side.

Configuration

When using a real Wii Remote, boosting is difficult on the ground; it has to be shaken at just the right speed or it won't happen. It's easier to just use a Classic Controller instead.Ac

    Fans have done what Sega won't - clever-clogs modders have released a version of Sonic Unleashed for PC.

    The free download works as a total conversion mod for Sonic Generations. You'll need a Steam copy of that game for it to work, and the 2.34GB download file from ModDB.

    The new version includes support for unlimited resolutions, new higher-quality textures and 60 FPS gameplay.

    List

    Eight modern sonic stages have been 're-adapted' from Sonic Unleashed with a number of improvements. There are 'no mandatory RPG elements, no medal collection, no Werehog', the creators have promised.

    Modders have even gone through and fixed a number of bugs and glitches in the game.

    Crank up the gameplay video below to 1080p full-screen mode and see how it looks.
