Sonic Adventure 2 gets a 2GB AI-enhanced HD Texture Pack, available for download right now

Modder ‘[Hazmat]’ has released a new HD Texture Pack for Sonic Adventure 2. According to the modder, each texture was upscaled using an advanced Neuro-Network AI, with the scale set at 4X for the level textures and 8X for the skybox textures.

This basically means that, similarly to all other AI-enhanced Texture Packs, this one increases overall detail and also stays true to the game’s original art style/aesthetics.

Do note that this initial version does not include Weapons Bed, Eternal Engine, Egg Quarters, Lost Colony, Cosmic Wall, Chao Neutral Garden, Boss Levels (except Big Foot) or in-game cut-scenes except the first two in Hero story. Thankfully, the modder aims to add AI-enhanced versions of these textures in the next release.

Those interested can download this new HD Texture Pack for Sonic Adventure 2 from here. The modder has also released some screenshots to showcase this Texture Pack that you can find below.

Have fun!

  1. Doesn’t fix the whole game not working in 3D, terrible terrible cringe soundtrack, awful animations and overall game mechanics though no? Yeah, still out then.

  2. Look up Topaz AI Gigapixel. It’s the magic program behind this (at least for FF7), and it really is a great program for upscaling. I used it on pics taken with old phones, and almost all of them were faithfully restored. (completely unrelated to gaming, but that just show how good it really is)

    1. Have to reply to you here. Got banned on PCgamer for openly disagreeing with the author’s shoddy research.

      The classic Lara Croft was a highly feminine in her body physique as well as being a very empowered female figure; assertive, brave, confident. The reboot has rewritten her into a thinner and desexualized figure while stripping her of her powerful personality and making her a nervous wreck.

      There is rift going on in the Tomb Raider fandom right now; someone made a mod pack for one of the reboot games, a costume pack for Lara that had more revealing/skimpier outfits. CD actually had that pack DMCA’d off of Nexus Mods, which kicked off arguments between the old+new guard who feel that classic Lara has been disempowered and spat on by CD vs. the new guard who sees nothing wrong with her remake.
