Sonic Generations, The 'Dream Update' and Project Updates.

I just played Sonic Generations on PC for the first time yesterday and holy hell my mind is blown! I can't believe how different this game looks compared to the console versions on max settings. I know by default PC games are always superior to their console counterparts just by being able to support 4K and a smoother framerate but this looks practically next gen by comparison! Crap man, I know to make damn sure NOT to get Sonic Forces on console when that comes out! I can't believe I've been missing out this entire time.

Also I got to try out the new Dream Update mod for Sonic Adventure (PC) and again, my mind is blown by how superior the PC version of the game is now.
Basically for those who haven't heard of it, this mod ports in all of the original textures from the Dreamcast version of Sonic Adventure, completely revamped for 4K as well as a ton of other mods, enhancements and performance improvements. On top of that it also adds in Dreamcast exclusive content that wasn't in the Gamecube remake such as the DLC Twinkle circuit tracks, removed beta content such as the lost Speed Highway Beta, all the removed Game Gear games from the Gamecube port, Super Sonic being fully playable... the list goes on.

It basically is THE definitive version of Sonic Adventure and it couldn't look better.
(Seriously just look at these screenshots I took, holy crap! Even the NPC's actually look good now.)

I'm wondering if I should record another playthrough of me playing through Sonic Adventure with this new look.
The last time I attempted it, it felt like a complete waste of time and somewhat frustratingly didn't garner enough attention to even justify the effort, but I admit with this new mod the game looks so gorgeous it almost feels selfish to keep to myself.

I dunno. I mean now that I have a powerful gaming PC it's no effort at all to record let's plays in 4K, but the issue is I have slow internet here and uploading them can take entire days!
Plus the fact most of them barely get a single page view so the effort seems completely wasted, despite the high quality of the content

I dunno, is that something you would all find interesting or would that not be worth the effort?
I mean again, these videos take literal days to upload so I don't want to do it if they're not going to get any attention.

But anyway, on a different topic. I want to quickly bring up the whole situation with my Project Gangnam issue that I talked about in the previous two updates. I made a new video showing the project off in it's current state but shortly after making it I had to remove all of the content from Crimson World Amusement Park just because the mod was completely overloading the entire system. I unfortunately may have to do the same with Gangnam Station as again it's overloading everything to the point where the game is unplayable.

If the worst comes to the worst I may have to remove the entire mod outright and go back to having 'fake ads' and TV's everywhere instead of the real ones this mod provided but I'm hoping it won't come to that and I can find some compromise to keep the mod without it ruining the games performance in anyway.

It's stressful as the game never looked better after discovering this mod but again, If I can't even handle this on a beefy $3,000 gaming PC then what chance does anyone else trying my project have?
It's a shame.

But yeah, regardless of all this I may have to take a short break from working on these project for a while, just to catch up with things in the real world. My job is always demanding my full attention pretty much 24/7 so it's hard to balance things out and put the time aside to make all of this.
I know in my videos I'm always promising yearly updates on my projects and new playable demos but sometimes I'm lucky if I even get a single hour to myself a day.

Hell just the other day some asshole completely wrecked my bike with his truck so now I'm basically pulling 12 hour shifts just to compensate.

Not so much ranting, but I do need to take a short break from all of this regardless. A week or two at the very least.

I'll try and have another rough draft of Katherine and Hippoloid's script up before I do so though. It's still very far from finished but I'm really eager to show off what's been done so far. I really hope people will love it, love the character's and get a good idea of where the story is headed.

Anyway, back to it. :)
