The Unleashed Project is a total conversion mod for Sonic Generations on PC. This mod requires the base game installed from Steam.
This unofficial project ports most of Sonic Unleashed's daytime levels from the Xbox 360 version into Sonic Generations on PC. It also includes any improvements that are deemed as necessary to accomodate to the better control scheme, higher resolution graphics, and much smoother framerate.
No console limitations. This means support for unlimited resolutions, high-quality texture filtering and 60 FPS gameplay as long as you have the hardware for it. Stages that had performance problems in the original game now work perfectly (with a proper setup).
Eight Modern Sonic stages completely readapted from Sonic Unleashed. Lots of layout improvements, recreation of gimmicks, and fixing various bugs/glitches.
Brand new White World Stage for level selection. Enjoy the new soundtrack arranged by Falk.
Various High-Definition retextures by Lobotomy.
No mandatory RPG elements, no medal collection, no Werehog.
Superior control scheme, player speed, consistent camera control (no wildly changing FOVs or distances that would make a player nauseous and confused), support for various skills (such as Super Sonic), etc.
Classic linear progression system for starting a new game. This new game won't overwrite your current save file (as long as you don't disable savefile redirection), so you can collect Red Rings and have new score and time records.
New Red Ring locations for each level. S Ranks will require you to speedrun and optimize your route as much as possible.
Alternate and experimental FxPipeline renderer included within the game. Provides support for special effects from Sonic Unleashed, such as directional shadows, directional light shafts, better motion blur, and much more! (Recommended to use)
Installing the mod
Simple
Extract the contents of the file you downloaded to anywhere you want. Find where Sonic Generations is stored on your computer.
For example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\sonic generations"
Simply copy the extracted files to the game's directory.
Run SonicGMI.exe as Administrator* (should be located in the same folder where SonicGenerations.exe is). If your Sonic Generations exe is not modified yet to support mods, simply click the Install/Uninstall button on the bottom.
*: Running as administrator is not a requirement, but it seems to help when creating the FxPipeline renderer.
Configuring mods
Once your game is set up to support mods, all you need to do to play is enable them via SonicGMI.
To play the Unleashed Project, simply check the box next to its name on the mods list. If you intend to use the FxPipeline renderer, you should also enable the "Unleashed FxPipeline Shaders" mod the same way.
Installing FxPipeline Renderer: Check the "Enable FxPipeline Renderer" box as shown here, and click on the "Create alternate executable" button. Please note this is a one-time operation only. Once it's available, the Save and Play button will be enabled.
Optional
There's an optional mod called "Unleashed Project Low End", which simply overrides various settings in the game to try to improve performance as much as possible, while sacrificing many graphical effects.
If there's a problem with the file or transfer, check our FAQ. If you are still having issues, let us know.
