Sonic Adventure Dx Dreamcast

• Sonic Adventure Dx Dreamcast Comparison

• One of the release games with the dreamcast and what a blinder! Sonic's first proper 3d adventure is a huge game and offers plenty of lastability because of the ability to choose a character and simply wander around. The level of puzzles is superb and you can immerse yourself as little or as much as you'd like in order to complete the game.
• Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut (ソニックアドベンチャー デラックス Sonikkuadobenchā derakkusu, lit. 'Sonic Adventure Deluxe') is the enhanced port of the Dreamcast video game Sonic Adventure. It was released for the Nintendo GameCube on June 2003, and for the PC on 2003 in Japan and 2004 elsewhere.

This is a restoration mod that brings back the original character models from Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast! Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Big, and Super Sonic all have their original Dreamcast models while E-102 has been modified to use his original materials (his models are the same).

This is a sub-page of Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut (GameCube).

Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut is a port of Sonic Adventure for the Sega Dreamcast. In addition to the extra content, there are actually tons of changes from the original version, ranging anywhere from tiny to huge.

As can be expected, anything having to do with the Dreamcast was removed in the port, such as the file selection menu, the posters in levels that referenced the Dreamcast, and button prompts. These changes were made for obvious reasons and won't be covered here. Extra content that was simply added to justify the port (including Mission Mode and the Game Gear games) won't be listed either.

Menu Differences

• The 'PRESENTED BY' text above the SEGA logo uses a different font and the trademark symbol was changed from '™' to '®'.

Dreamcast

GameCube

• The Sonic Team logo is now a static screen, rather than being part of the intro movie.

Dreamcast

GameCube

• The game's sound credits were moved from the end credits to an additional screen appearing after the Sonic Team logo.
• The memory card screen was changed to accommodate for the GameCube. Rather than eight possible slots, there are now only two. This lowers the max possible file count from 24 to 6.
• The file select screen now displays the selected memory card alongside the files.

Dreamcast

GameCube

• The game's logo was completely redesigned for Director's Cut. The cork-board and mirages were replaced with something a bit clearer and more generic. The intro movie was modified accordingly to include it.
• The title screen was totally redesigned. The Dreamcast version focuses on the game's logo, with pre-rendered mirages of Station Square and an unknown castle-like structure in the background. The background may or may not feature animated ripples (see the original game's regional differences). On the other hand, Director's Cut features a large pre-rendered 3D Sonic next to the logo with scrolling clouds in the background.

Dreamcast

GameCube

• The background of the menus that reflect the title screen are also different as a result, but the format of the menus remain the same in the GameCube version.
• The second option in the Trial menu was changed from 'Mini Game' to 'Sub Game' for the GameCube version. This only applies to the English text - the Japanese equivilent of the option is unchanged.
• Seeing as the GameCube cannot get online, the Internet option on the main menu was removed. Furthermore, the options for 'Mission Mode' and 'Mini Game Collection' were added.

Dreamcast

GameCube

• In the Options menu, the Dreamcast version's TV Setting was replaced with a toggle for the GameCube's rumble feature. The TV Setting allows setting 50/60 Hz mode.
• The File Change icon's red arrows are animated in Director's Cut, but not the Dreamcast version.

Dreamcast

GameCube

Gameplay Differences

• All cutscenes can be skipped by pressing the Start button. In the Dreamcast version, only the introduction could be skipped.
• Director's Cut runs at 60FPS during main gameplay, compared to the original game which would only run at 60 FPS in menus or Twinkle Circuit. Unfortunately, the new higher framerate is unstable and frequently dips.
• The game's loading times are notably different. In general, the GameCube version loads slower than the Dreamcast version, but appears to transition between areas in the adventure fields faster due to its higher frame rate.
• The collision in the game appears to have been heavily modified, with most of the collision barriers either being weakened or removed in DX.
• Cream the Rabbit makes a cameo appearance in the GameCube version where at a certain point in each character's story she can briefly be seen flying around Station Square.
• Gamma's adventure mode is no longer permanently stuck at night after completing his story.
• One cutscene at the end of Amy's story fades out early in the GameCube version to avoid displaying an animation error.

Pause Menu

Dreamcast

GameCube

• A 'Free Camera' option was added, allowing full camera control via the C-stick. The original game supported only rotation and first-person view; this mode is kept as 'Auto Camera'. The camera resets to 'Auto Camera' whenever a new map is loaded.
• A map option was added to the pause menu in adventure fields.
• In the Dreamcast version the start button was used to confirm choices in the pause menu. The pause menu controls were changed in DX to use A and B as confirm/cancel choices respectively, with the start button being used as an alternate cancel.
• The pause menu's background was changed from a transparent rounded gradient into a solid blue box.
• A flashing effect was added to the pause menu's cursor.
• The pause menu now specifies which game mode the player is currently in.
• The racing bar in Tails' stages does not disappear while the game is paused in the GameCube Version.
• In the Dreamcast version, the player could remove the overlay from the Pause screen by holding the X and Y buttons. This ability was removed in Director's Cut.
• The GameCube version has a greater draw distance.

Graphical Differences

• The Dreamcast's palette based lighting system (Lantern), was completely replaced for the GameCube version, with something more generic; each stage is lit very differently to its Dreamcast counterpart, including the character lighting and stage fog.
• The HUD was repositioned slightly and made bigger in the GameCube version. This has the side effect of making the HUD somewhat blurred though.
• All of the main character models were enhanced greatly for Director's Cut, though the animations weren't updated.

Dreamcast	GameCube

• The 'Now Saving' icon that appears in the upper right corner of the screen doubles as a progress bar that gradually fills as the save/load progresses in the Dreamcast version. The text was changed in the GameCube version: now it is located on the bottom-right or top-right of the screen, is in a generic white font, and does not double as a progress bar. The GameCube version also includes a 'Now Loading' variant.
• Transparency issues on the Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Big life box icons were fixed.
• The life icon for Tails was remade - his head is slightly larger and his hand was removed.

Dreamcast

GameCube

• The names on the character select wheel are slightly transparent in the Dreamcast version, but are opaque in DX.
• The original game's textures seem to have undergone some minor quality loss in DX, with many having more artifacts present than their equivilents in the Dreamcast version.
• The aliasing problems that were present in the Dreamcast version have been fixed.
• The Dreamcast version featured rather low-quality water textures with choppy animation. In Director's Cut, the GameCube's TEV system is used for more advanced water effects, including more realistic textures and rippling on objects below the surface.

Dreamcast

GameCube

• In the original Japanese release of the Dreamcast version, Sonic's feet had a unique 'wheel' effect while running at top speed, akin to the classic games. The blur effect was removed for later releases, but the shoe distortion remained. In DX, the distortion effect is no longer present, though Sonic's shoes do have a texture bug in the state it would have appeared in. The distortion effect never appeared for the light shoes, so the bug only happens with Sonic's regular shoes.

Original JP (DC)	Revised (DC)	Director's Cut (GCN)

Audio Differences

• The music stops while selecting a file.
• The music does not fade out while moving between areas in Adventure fields.
• The sound of the cars in Station Square was changed to be more dynamic.
• The waterfalls in the Mystic Ruins are louder.
• Ring, monitor, and emblem collection sounds are lower in pitch than the Dreamcast version, for some reason. The Ring sound in the Dreamcast version is the original in C Major, so the sound in Director's Cut is inconsistent with the rest of the series. The lower-pitched monitor sound got reused in Shadow the Hedgehog.
• Some voice effects were changed, like when Tails begins to fly or when Amy swings her hammer.

Adventure Fields

The Adventure Fields received more drastic changes than the action stages.

Stage Differences

Individual areas and levels had specific changes done to them.

Emerald Coast

Dreamcast	GameCube

• The skybox is now correctly centered around the player.
• In the Dreamcast version, the water is attached to the skybox and moves with it. In the GameCube version, the water is rendered as fixed squares.

Dreamcast

• There is more of a shadow underneath the Egg Carrier.
• The lighting in Act 2 is slightly brighter.

Dreamcast

Station Square Garden

Dreamcast	GameCube

In the GameCube version, the shallow water is still there, but the quarter-temples have been replaced with a full temple in the middle, complete with a decorative fountain.
• The Station Square Chao Garden's entrance to the Chao Races has two sets of doors in the Dreamcast version. In the GameCube version, the menus are loaded immediately after setting foot through the first set of doors, and the other set doesn't exist.

• A bug was fixed where a Chao sometimes wouldn't spawn.

Chao Transporter

Dreamcast

GameCube

• The transporter's main purpose was changed from Chao Adventure to GBA features.
• The menu is in the garden in the Dreamcast version, but on a separate screen in the GameCube version.
• The transporter was given the ability to name and delete Chao directly in the GameCube version.
• The transporter was changed from a VMU to a GBA to reflect the changes made to it.

Chao Race

Dreamcast	GameCube

• In the Dreamcast version, the Chao Race lobby is playable. Once the character steps on the button in the middle of the room, the menus appear; otherwise, they are free to move around. As a side note, 4 decorative Omochaos appear in this interactive lobby- this marks their first appearance, not Sonic Adventure 2. They don't fly around or say anything annoying...yet...
• In the GameCube version, the lobby is just a menu, and it has been redesigned. Instead of an 'Entry' button, the GameCube version has a walkway leading to some kind of monitor. The numbers on the walls were decorated a bit further and the arrows leading into each one were removed.
• The menus themselves have been changed and stylized further.
• The music is different. The Dreamcast version plays 'Letz Get the Party Started'- the same catchy dance music that plays in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle's Chao World lobby. The GameCube version plays a completely different, calmer track, which was also used in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle's Chao Race menu.

Game Description & Reviews:

Pontinho rates this game: 3/5

The game's not bad but it's not the best Sonic game like most fanboys will tell you. Sonic & Tails levels are all about the speedy platforming that made the series famous in it their first attempt at 3D. It's nowhere near the quality and fun of the originals but it's not bad.Knuckles is reduced to a treasure hunter, Amy is a slow Sonic that must escape from a robot, Big's level are about fishing (yes, fishing. What were they thinking?) and Gamma's levels are bland mech shooters.
The extras are ok, and give you the opportunity to play some of the sega game gear sonic games.

b1ueskycomp1ex rates this game: 4/5

Sonic Adventure DX - Director's Cut - is a port of the original sonic adventure from the Sega Dreamcast. The game remains generally untouched, actually, aside from some updates to the player models and a few other aesthetic touches. The game was fantastic when the Dreamcast was released, and really showcased how much speed and fluidity the Dreamcast's hardware could provide.

Like the original, you play through a story campaign solving the occasional puzzle (put item X on pedestal Y to open area Z) in one of the various hub areas. Each hub area contains all of that area's levels. Levels vary between fast-paced race-like platforming sections and slower paced adventure-like platforming sections, with fun additions like playing pinball using sonic as the ball, racing in go karts, and unlocking extras like playing some more obscure Gamegear or sega master system sonic titles.

At the start of the game, you're presented with only sonic to play as, but as you progress through the game and meet the other characters, they become available for play. Each character has their own playstyle, with such oddities as big the cat's levels being about fishing for his lost pet frog, tails doing auto-lock-on mech platforming, and knuckles gliding around and treasure hunting. Each character's story is intertwined with the others and takes place from their point of view, which is an interesting premise.

Sadly, the game hasn't aged all that well. The same jerky, janky, and generally uncomfortable camera positions exist here. Some of the setpiece running moments or acrobatics will cause you to fly off the side of the map, and there are still plenty of weird platforming bugs that exist in this version. Is it worth playing today? That depends. With this game, the majority of people either love or hate it, and you'll have to play it for yourself to find out which camp you belong to.
