[Open Assets] E-102 Gamma 1.4.2

i love this. 16 angles on every sprite and puppet style character which makes an illusion of a 3d model

I actually remember when this was shadow-revealed in the #srb2-media channel on the Discord. I spent so long trying to find the gif this was shown in. I *suppose* this is the next best thing.

I love how it makes such great use of multiple sprites to make up the character. Tails Doll did a similar thing and that was great too. The gameplay is also very loyal to Sonic Adventure.

I honestly thought this was 3D for a second, you sir, are a true american hero!

A beautiful mod that I wish had a 3d model for it

Thanks for making my dreams come true man

This.
Is.
PEAK.

He plays EXACTLY like in Sonic Adventure, timer and all. And, to be honest, he doesn't need much more than that! Easily mauling through bosses, mowing every enemy in sight, and pretending to be Dynamite Fucking Anton after getting all 7 Chaos Emeralds is the playstyle every Gamma enjoyer loves. Including myself!

I find it mindblowing every time I say "This is the mod of the year and nothing will top it.", in the end, I'm proven wrong every time. I just had to write a review even though I didn't finish the game with him yet.

Not only is Gamma (I'll be shortening it to this for sanity), playing exactly how he did in Adventure but on top of all these little extras, it makes it one of the most high-quality mods based on an existing Sonic character. The timer, the use of voice lines, and unique sprites. It adds so much character. Mainly the "Come on!" voice line Gamma uses when he has little to no time left in a boss.

This leads to my own small nitpick. The time on bosses while fair seems to be a tad bit short. Plus with a bunch of bosses having RnG I can see players having trouble with said bosses with a set time limit.

But besides that, I really love this mod so far, there's a clear love for the character and it's nice to see more variety in characters recently.

I love that mod,i finally can play as my favourite character,that hasn't changed at all from his appearance in Adventure.
Only problem that i had was Metal Sonic race,but that's probably skill issue.
Perfect mod.

Nothing to really complain about this mod tbh. It's just perfect. He plays exactly like how he does in Sonic Adventure. You can't improve on what was already peak lmao. E-102 just needed a better playground to play in and SRB2's level design makes him fit in so well. I feel so powerful homing in on enemies and destroying them so effortlessly. I also love the fact that he's pre-rendered. The sprites add a lot of charm to him. I hope it becomes a trend that robot characters are pre-renders with 16 sprite rotations while organic characters are fully sprited with 8 sprite rotations. Another awesome character to add into my character randomizer rotation!

First of all, sorry for being dumb
Second, this mod is just fuckin perfect

First and foremost, the way the sprites are done is a really neat idea, but I think this does affect performance just a bit. I do play on Android, so perhaps it's not that bad on PC and this is just a nitpick, but I still feel that at least a bit more optimization could help.

I do like the time limit challenge it gives, since it's a nice change of pace to the base game, but at the cost of bosses? Not so much. The bosses are pitifully easy when you have homing shots, which are understandable for normal levels so that you can focus on going faster and not have to slow down to aim, but the bosses using this same logic makes them extremely disappointing. Personally, I would have made bosses remove your homing shots to force you to aim, granting you 2 extra seconds with every successful hit but penalizing 1 second for every miss.

I also love that you play as the Flicky inside Gamma for the special stages. That's honestly adorable. It *does* make certain parts a bit harder to hit because of your vastly smaller hitbox, though.

Overall, really nice mod. There's some things that I think make it either disappointing or boring at points, but that's not that awful enough so as to deduct more than one star.

really good mod, i only have like one or two nitpicks
1:gamma tends to aim at quite literally everything BUT the enemies in later levels, this is ESPECIALLY present in RVZ, but is a slight consistent annoyance in other levels too
2:the time limits can be quite strict by the end of the game, specifically in levels where enemies are spread out (i think), such as ACZ
besides that it's really good (i also wish there was a no-time-limit mode for people who wanna mess around)

The mod's great, although there can certainly be some improvements made on it.

I'd say perhaps either buff the time gained from kills or otherwise remove the time limit altogether. I had one case in which I ran out of time in the castle zone's second level because there's just not that many things to shoot and run past.

I'd DEFINITELY say stop having Gamma aim at random decorative objects, in maps that have more of them it kind of just wastes your time while you're waiting for him to finally target an enemy.

Certainly change how drive mod is activated. I've had both the scenario of drive mode getting enabled because I moved too quickly on some platforms over pits, as well as a case of drive mode not activating soon enough while having to speed through an area. Think that crusher area in the egg rock zone I think it was, where you have to go fast around curves or be smashed.
I'd say change drive mode so it's activated/deactivated by pressing custom1.

Also I think if you're hovering over lava and touch the lava from a slope while holding jump, you're immune to the lava as long as you hold jump.

alright after playing the vanilla campaign I can safely say this is almost completely accurate to Adventure
his gameplay style was so fun in the original and the fact he has a little amount of levels there is sad. but THIS game has way more levels. so I got to speed through and destroy everything :0
honestly this is a really fun character! just one complaint, he can destroy lots of things that are just scenery, so although it's fun it wastes time. THZ1 is the best example, most stuff you destroy is techno flowers or smth.
thats my only complaint though amazing job Salt!

Y'know i'm mostly meh on pre-rendered mods because of style clashing-
BUT THIS IS LITERALLY GAMMA IN FULL!
Having all of their mechanics such as the timer and lock-on elements right from SA1 and I love that without having to sob at the ending of the game!
(I also love that little Sonic Shuffle+Snap reference lol)

Great mod, the amount of spritework you put into this was amazing and it pays off really well. He really does feel exactly like gamma. the only thing i could possibly want is the option to turn off the timer, just in case maybe you want a more relaxed gamma runtime. (or in case the level isnt quite so kind with how objects are placed, algorithm or not.)

there's alot that i think is great, but also there's alot that should be changed/added to this.
for the sprites i like how they look with the extra frames, the sprites artstyle fits better with those extra frames. for the gameplay it's honestly kinda boring in the original game (sonic adventure) but as a recreation it's impressive, tho i would like if the target lock on would have an option to have a limit of how many enemies/objects to target or have a option to get rid of it entirely, i would also like if there was a way to use power ups like pressing the spin button or a dedicated button to activate the power ups, and i would LOVE if first person was a thing with this mod like with Tails guy or Whisper the wolf, finally if there isn't a option to change the time limit or turn it off (if it is then uh idk, ig i'm just stupid then. also if there isn't a option to turn off the voicelines then same thing)
overall this is a impressive mod that makes me want a Big the cat mod (for the memes)

Well i'll mort waited modern Amy from adventures
But gamma too funny character.
Move set: are good
Sprites: GROOVY!
Sometimes I even think that it is made of voxels.

Else I like one tiny detail with flowers from THZ.

One minus:
Lags
But my pc else from 2009 and i think it's only my trouble
You should not lag, I hope.

The mod is really great! I played Sonic Adventure since my childhood and I at least managed to have all the Shoot 'em Up experience that Gamma can bring, the only thing I miss about this mod's the lack of 2-D sprites.

the character looks great on other people's gameplay. unfortunately, I had to play in first person to have a non-laggy experience. I suggest having a 'Lite' version for lower end devices. (Basically, a single sprite version)
