The Unleashed Project is a mod that replaces all of the Modern Sonic stages in Sonic Generations with the Act 1 Daytime stages from Sonic Unleashed. While there are several Daytime stages per area in Unleashed, the longest and most unique of them is usually Act 1, so this format works pretty well. That aside, there really isn’t much else to say about it. It’s good and you should have it if you’re hoping to mod Sonic Generations or other Sonic games on PC. BetterFXPipeline by Skyth Replaces the low-quality pre-rendered cutscenes of the PC and Xbox versions of Generations with the higher-quality (720p) pre-rendered cutscenes of the PS3 version of Generations. Recommended since this is the only way to improve the quality of the pre-renders on PC, which are otherwise noticeably lower-res than basically any common PC resolution.

The Unleashed Project is perhaps one of the most ambitious modding campaigns I’ve ever seen, but after a decade of it being present on PC without Sega raising a fuss, I feel pretty comfortable recommending it to you today. Race across five massive overworld islands, each with their own unique action-platforming challenges and hidden secrets to uncover.Do you have the need to pelt things with suction cup foam darts?
