Sonic Adventure Tokyo International Forum Booklet (Pictures/Scans)

Until you mentioned it, I honestly didn't realize these were photos. Pretty good as it is, although I look forward to the scans!

And until now, I never really could appreciate just how different City Hall looked. It's pretty awesome that we've got this now.

 

This will help nicely for the video I'm making to show off the WV beta mod. Which is coming soon btw. Thanks for the awesome pics.

 

Very nice! It's awesome to see these. It really is interesting how different lighting seems to be in these images as opposed to the final release. There's a smoothness to the lighting that I don't feel is there in the final version. In places it looks similar to how SA2 handles lighting. But I'm not technically minded in the least, so I don't really know what I'm talking about :specialed:

Maybe people here who know what they're talking about can tell me if these lighting maps are different?

 

If you got this on YJA then I'm glad it was you that got it and not a reseller because then it probably would've been up on ebay for like $400. It's pretty cool what it has inside :D

 

So I posted this on SSMB and well, turns out your not alone Orengefox:

Interested guys?

 

I'd like someone to take another crack at getting a good rip of the VHS tape. H.264 rip pls.

Anyways, nice work on getting pictures for the book. I really like the old lighting they used for the models in these shots. I'd take these over the glossy crap in the DX versions any day.

 

Crap, I convinced Soniko to join but shes stuck in "Pending Membership" until someone comes on and validates. hopefully someone does soon :\.

 

Also, this whole image dump is great Orenge! I'm so glad you managed to find this. I'm hoping someone translates this at some point.

Plus we get to see the image Big was plastered over in the opening FMV:

"Sonic Adventure clear files?" I knew about the rest of this, but hadn't heard of these "clear files." Maybe they're something new? I dunno. Hopefully she does get validated soon though. I'd like to see what these "clear files" are, haha.

 

Can somebody FINALLY digitize it in true 640x480 and good quality?!
Like, you know, those Nintendo 80's employee instructional videos about how to adjust an arcade machine.

 

I managed to clean Gamma's screenshot with merging the image of Big shown in the intro FMV.

Colors aren't up to snuff in some areas, but you get the general idea.

 

Where's Gamma's '102'? These screenshots date all the way back to these?

 

Right bear with me, I currently can't find the VHS or one of the clear files right now, it's been years since I bought them and I'll have to dig through a lot of stuff to get them.

Front of Clear File (gorgeous SA art works <3 )



Back of Clear File (It's only one sided like most traditional clear files)



This is the one I can't find currently, so I'm using an old photo of it from the seller I bought it from (or my friend bought it from, who then sold it to me lol)

This is also the design of the tote bag they gave away to carry all the freebies/stuff you bought around at the press event, kinda like the E3 swag bags you get nowadays.

So yeah, tote bag was made of tough paper with plastic loop handles adorned with the above artwork on both sides.

I do believe I have one for those Jet Set Radio fruit machines? Is anyone interested in that?

 

Oh, Jesus, my anticipation of your contribution builds with you, Soniko!

 

That's...actually a really good point. He has his numbers by the AutoDemo...but not here. He doesn't seem to have it in any of the other shots of him in the brochure either. Maybe they just hadn't gotten around to that just yet. I mean, the Froggy cutscene with the E-100 units are all using Gamma as the base anyway, so it'd make sense this was prior to them having done those details.

 

Anything TGS-related generally has a trend of showing material from earlier builds of the game. Like Sonic's spinball texture had a white slash in the footage, but not in the autodemo. Some differences are cosmetic, while something on the scale of Windy Valley is ridiculous.

 

Before it was found in-game we knew that it had existed at one point, but much like the Windy Valley Beta we were under the false impression that it was lost to the world.
