Phox Very good comment with some definite truth behind it. Speaking of which, some of the development files to the real game actually HAVE been obtained by an ASSEMblergames user named JollyRodger recently, who is now working hard to restore them to working order, and even port them over to modern rendering with OpenGL, which he's already in the process of doing. Along with that there are also recent re-encodings from the VHS tapes of these levels and some of the other footage made by Chris Senn himself, which are in much better quality. I could link you those if you want.

I wouldn't say Sonic was necessarily unlucky, I would say Sega is just reckless. Sonic made them what they were and still are but they constantly haphazardly throw together new game engines on him without any quality support and repeatedly tarnish his reputation. Image is EVERYTHING in advertising and you would think old Sega being so good at it from a commercial stand point wouldn't allow such risky gambles on their flagship mascot. And yet Sonic 06, Sacred Rings, Black Knight, Sonic Shuffle, Shadow the Hedgehog,Sonic Boom, etc were all allowed to see store shelves in their current states. It's idiotic from an advertising/business stand point and simply disrespectful and tarnishing to their own branding. Alllllllll that being said tho, I would adore if this game got finished and thrown on the PC as a lost title for fun. They could call it Sonic Sphere X-Treme lol.

[@Omar_E11]

+Ranko Inazuma Sonic has always been unlucky. I mean, he belongs to Sega. That's pretty self-explanatory

[@Nikerox1000]

SEGA didn't lose their magic, they lost their magical team after they all departed in 1997. Take note here: The Sonic Team wasn't called the Sonic Team, it was called SEGA Technical Institute, or STI, and that is the original crackpot team behind the good Sonic the Hedgehog. After Xtreme they all bailed and left poor Sonic in the hands of newbies whom shot green paintballs into his eyes to forcefully change color and gave him growth hormones so that he could go faster, faster, FASTER FAS....(ahem), that's about the jest of it, but Sonic went insane after Adventure 2 and his games turned to pot until he found out the truth again about who he really was (Generations) and now he's sort of coming back to his roots (Sonic Boom, lead level designer: Chris Senn that's right) but that's only if everyone else returns as well. So as of now: Sonic needs our help now more than ever.

There's something about the overall surrealism of these early Sonic X-treme fish-eye videos that I always found beautiful to watch, especially for this level and Red Sands. The game itself, from what we've seen of the prototype/alpha footage anyway, looked unappealing to play, but just watching gameplay footage of this early engine of the game makes me wonder how the final product would have turned out if released. Provided, of course, the development hell which plagued the game no longer present an issue.

[@Mike14264]

There's always the fascination of game footage from games in limbo. Makes people hope someone makes a playable version, even of the game really isn't all that good. It's a weird, intrinsic desire of... hope, I think, that is in most humans.

[@glennianheroes1383]

I mean, I've played or looked at every build thats out there in any form and... like i have to say the game actually is pretty fun might not have been game changing when it wouldve come out but it would certainly be looked back on fondly if it did come out cause like you have to remember, this game's roots started like... right after sonic 2 came out or thereabouts, with the video game adaptations of satam that had their movesets sort of ported into xtreme, and it had a solid development team too the worst part is that with all that survived of the game it was likely about 63 or so percent done before cancellation (the sonic campaign, i mean, tails and knuckles seemingly had nothing started other than graphics), though they hadnt added collision to enemies or anything yet sadly so its basically just running around with most of the moveset for one character at your disposal but man was it a fun moveset! (i really like the world rotation gimmick, for instance, it perfectly fits the game's art and music style of sort of a vaporwave playground) so yeah tl;dr the game, even in its beta state, was a fun romp, might not have been groundbreaking had it come out, but it would definitely be regarded as a classic and a great game with likely lots of style influence on future works by various devs

[@garfielf1484]

I agree. While the gameplay seems like it would have been fine, I’m glad Sonic Adventure was the series debut in full 3D. I don’t think X-treme could have ever went toe to toe with Super Mario 64.

[@MoonSarito]

I loved watching Sonic Xtreme gameplay footage as a kid and was frustrated that it never came out, but now that I'm an adult, I have to say, as much as I wanted to see a real Sonic for the Sega Saturn, every early- builds, demos and gameplays of Sonic Xtreme seem to me to be so confusing... even Sonic 3D Blast seems to be way more playable, I'm thankful we had Sonic Adventure instead. This game was far below other 3D games of the era like Super Mario 64 or Crash Bandicoot, no doubt it would flop pretty hard if it had been released.

The story behind the one-man team originally working on the game was heartbreaking.

I'll agree it was lacking on 3D platformers though. The closest thing the Saturn had to a great 3D platformer (that I've played) is probably the aforementioned PowerSlave, which was a first-person shooter with Egyptian mythological themes and a lot of jumping. Not a traditional platformer but a damned good one nonetheless.

Many seem to consider Sonic Lost World a "spiritual successor" to Sonic Xtreme. Personally, what I think Sega should do (for teh lulz) is take Classic Sonic, put him in the same engine they used for SLW, and make Sonic Xtreme that way.

You guys have to chill with the fanaticism. I don’t want to diss the team’s hard work but I have a hard time believing this would have been a hit game. The fish eye lens makes it awkward to look at and play, and the static camera makes it hard to see where you’re going in the many cases you have to move toward it. You’re basically forced to go slow. The boss engine looked much more impressive and had more potential, unfortunately it came far too late in the development cycle (I really would like to see a game made with that engine!) I think overall the sega execs were not impressed with this iteration of the game for a reason. Not that I think their opinion is worth much, but I think this game would’ve been awkward to play. Mario 64 would stand far above it. And “best sonic game ever made”? Come on.

First the main game devs. They only saw an old version of the engine, thus were unimpressed. They loved the boss version, so they said to rework the whole game onto that engine.

Sonic Xtreme is little eerie, specially considering the development hell this game went through. It's sad to think about that it didn't manage made to completion despite how difficult it was for the developers. But, it's nice to think about because of the innovation this game was trying to achieve and what it could've been. This was during a time when video games were discovering the potential of 3D and you can clearly see how they were creatively trying to make it a reality. It's strange too, the idea this game had was really unusual and maybe even a little uncanny; watching this feels like a liminal space. A liminal space can be defined as to be on the precipice of something new but not quite there yet. It can be physically, emotionally, or metaphorically, so it may be a little uncomfortable to experience. In this case, it feels that way because this unique game was never released, so it's as if this part of the history of Sonic games was left missing forever.

Elliot Savva: Naka ruined sonic, and his own career as well. He was a diva "too tired of sonic" and also threatened to quit like a bitch so the game X-treme gets canceled. Then he made the awful 2006 game (3/4 of it, leaving before it finished) and now poor sonic is a shell if himself

[@elmarakovideo]

@@vulcanraven9701 Vulcan is correct. If you played the demo for Balan Wonderworld you realize Naka's career is finished. I believe Oshima and Iizuka made Nights great, so Yuji Naka was just a producer.

[@Cristian-vm1bg]

Ill never stop being sad this game didnt come out. I remember being 12 and going straight to the index of every video game magazine for updates to this and Panzer Dragoon Saga. The first never was released and the second was released in such small quantities i didnt get to play it. What might have been.

[@X2.o997-4mazzeblack]

the real first youtube video

[@flyingstonemon3564]

So this is where lost world took roots for the physics in reality... Honestly wished this game had more out uncovered, this looks really advanced for the time

[@babyJoe_]

This game was so much fun! I remember playing it all the time back in the day!

[@ItsNylrak]

Easy joke

[@bautistasolisgd4988]

The unity fan game?

[@EnigmaHood]

@danfish88 The Sega Saturn was already on its way out by the time Jam came out. Sonic Jam was made after Xtreme was already canceled. I guess they just wanted to focus on the Dreamcast without spending too much time and money on the Sonic World portion of Sonic Jam.

[@phj9894]

many people says this game could have been good if released, but for me it looks like the most uncomfortable platformer ever. The whole map is basically a floating platform, and the view is very limited that you'll have to move extremely slow with full of sweats in hand to try best not to fall off.

[@londonjackson8986]

+Hijong Park I definitely agree! I was originally sad that this was not released on the Saturn, when I found out that it existed. But looking back, I kinda glad that it was cancelled! This doesn't really look fun, this just looks like a confusing mess that wasn't built for speed at all! It lacks a well structure point A to point B design in it's level design. It also has a pointless Time Limit! I'm not saying that developers didn't try, because they obviously did! I'm just saying that it doesn't look well structure or focused! At least we got Sonic Adventure for Dreamcast!

[@DeclanEDowns]

Well, we can't say it would act like what we see now, it wasn't even complete :/

[@angel2901]

THX

[@JoãoPedro03s]

I think it wasn't even finished

[@tommywilliams7536]

You can't judge a game by a prototype. There wasn't even any sound effects

[@utzchannel018]

I get what they were going for but oh man does this look like it would've been torture to play. I can see why it was canned. This kinda game coming out the same holiday season and attempting to rival Mario 64 would have been a death sentence.

[@HerecomestheCalavera]

This might have been cool if it would have been released back in the mid 1990s, but I still don't think it could have competed with Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64 which was a 64-bit system

[@Flashflood140]

Actually looking at the footage side by side this almost looks better due to sonic doesn't look nearly as polygonal

[@Flashflood140]

You want to know what I agree with all of you now it seems cool but super mario 64 and crash where so much better plus I think the controls would have been ackword but still I wish it would of been released

[@bangerbangerbro]

Classic80sStuff Significance of 64 bit?

[@dogeymon83]

@OSDolphin - Sorry, you're mistaken. You're judging the hardware based on the software that was rushed to market (such as MetalHead). The 32X has 2 hitachi's. It might be running off a less than ideal CPU, but of course it's 32-bit. The Super Nintendo has an extensive color palette. But it required special chips in its carts to pull off polygons. And it couldn't even get those right sometimes.

[@Sandgamedude]

This is one of the oldest videos on KZbin god damn

[@DSMTheEditor]

@Iceeman234 A lot of developmental issues, including issues over the game engine and falling behind in schedule. The game's lead programmer got so overworked he came down with pneumonia, and when that delayed the game even further (esp. with Saturn already losing the race against the PSX and N64), Sega decided to kill the project.

[@ben_kushidobus]

NOSTALGIA

[@RidleySmash]

This looks really fun, its a real shame that companies have to hit that holiday deadline or else. Far too many potentially great games have been altered or cancelled because of it.

[@dedtoot]

Man, I'm glad this game was cancelled, this looks nauseating and hard to control(not to mention the development hell history). Not even in a early 3D platformer game way, it really looks like whoever's playing is struggling to move through tunnels and whatnot. And this kind of perspective would be more fitting for slower games, not a mainline sonic game.

[@QWERTYCommander]

@SONBoomer I heard the full story. There were complications during development, which eventually left one guy to work on it himself from square one, which eventually got him so sick that it took him 5 years to recover.

[@LetsProd]

The music Oo

[@durece100]

What about it?

[@nicholasthetaylor]

@nicholasthetaylor Its just that I remember seeing transparent textured polygons in there, which would be a terrific feat to achieve on the sega saturn and the graphics (bar the sprites) seem to be a high resolution, and so I presumed that this must be a PC version, possibly created by emulating the look and feel of the game seen in promotional videos. Are the transparencies due to the capture device blurring out a stippler effect, and the same blurring could also explain the gfx looking hires?

[@Vortex-yn2tt]

If this game came out, sega would problaby still be make hardware todey.........

[@dansonoflightning2277]

Hi Vortex! Also, I sort of agree with you...the Genesis add-ons still happened, as did the PS2, Echelon, and Shenmue's money-sucking budget.

[@Vortex-yn2tt]

We still don't know if shenmue would still happen, they made that game close at the end in the dreamcasts lifespan to try to increasing the dreamcast lifespan(or atleast i think so)

[@jaekoff5050]

No, it's not like the game is nauseating or anything

[@bangerbangerbro]

Vortex You think? One game?

[@the3rdway965]

If SEGA agreed with their Sony deal it would of saved the Saturn. Instead they let song run off and make a competitor that ultimately destroyed them.

[@michaelb.2662]

It's too bad this game got cancelled. It probably would've been fun to play

[@barneyjuniorYT]

Imagine, this game couldve saved the Saturn, i feel so bad for the people who almost died working on this game. One of the more unsettling and depressing pieces of lost media.

[@rouge939]

I don’t think it would’ve saved the Saturn. The Dreamcast had Adventure 1 and 2 and it didn’t save the console

[@McNuuuuggggiiiieeeessss]

I like the fisheye effect the stages have

[@tobylanglois3698]

1:29 what the hell is that? I want them to release the levels they did complete and maybe some day finish it. But don't make it new.

[@pavilioz]

The music in this is really good. Does anyone know if this song was used in any other Sonic games?

[@jballs5434]

I completely understand why this game was cancelled. This track is beautiful, and the spherical-mirror vision looks really interesting and puts your mind in a really different place, but the physics just don't look at all great. And stop comparing Sonic Lost World to this. It's nothing like this at all. This is literally just a platforming game with a warped style of vision. No tubular worlds. Now, signing off.

[@Andrewsafb71]

+[DZ]Farouk Derbali No, that's not true at all about the Saturn "running out of time." The game was being developed on the Sega 32x before then and the developers decided to make the game for Sega's next-gen console at the time. Which ended up being the Saturn which hadn't even been released yet. Dumbass.

[@xXSpongeBroBrownPantzXx]

This video came out two days before I was born

[@jojoalfaro9152]

Y esta belleza no salió a la luz?!

[@ben_kushidobus]

No lo se tu dimelo

[@bautistasolisgd4988]

No,pero gracias a dios un fan recreo este juego,se llama proyect sxu también conocido como Sonic Xtreme unity

[@TheNatedogg56]

@Jeff8090 I was just about to say that! Honestly, this game could make someone start to trip without drugs, the movement is so hypnotic.
