Sonix X-Treme 32x and Saturn Version

[@jaymorpheus1111]

The saturn game gives me the "I've got to play it" feeling that I haven't had in at least 18 years. When Nintendo 64 came out.

Not particularly impressive but yes would have boosted sales.

[@Turbulation1]

the footage wasn't really actual gameplay but rather, pre-rendered demos

[@liquidsnake6879]

Bruh you guys really need to stop lol these demos aren't good at all even for the time and weren't ever made into games for good reason, they look dreadful had they released ANY of these things as actual games they would've been panned as the worst games of their respective systems. These guys were so lost it's not even funny, they had absolutely no idea what to do with Sonic, the Saturn one just looks like Kula World with lamer graphics, less enjoyable gameplay and presented as a AAA game that is expected to carry a whole system lool

So the first two gameplay footages are on the 32x? damn that's actually quite impressive

[@Generic___]

Even so the sprites look better than the Saturn version.

[@Generic___]

I guess still looks impressive

[@ArcadeStriker]

+Android 16 I still don't know if the footage seems real. Of course, it's legit at all, but I mean that it doesn't seem that is running on real 32X hardware, basically a rendered video/demo about the concept or how it was designed to be on the 32X (or at least similar). But well there is the possibility of that it's on a real hardware, and well...really impressive.

[@Ninetails2000]

The first two were actually mockup videos made as a proof-of-concept thing, same for all of the Saturn stuff outside of the trailers, model tests and sprite animations.

[@gabrielalvares6051]

Ninetails2000 nice

[@greenknight9000]

The person playing the 32x version has some serious skill!

[@Ninetails2000]

Those were mockup demo animations, not actual gameplay.

[@greenknight9000]

***** really? wow!

[@Ninetails2000]

greenknight9000 A lot of the clips in this video were of proof-of-concept demo animations. Only the trailers at the end had actual gameplay. It's pretty cool to see what their original visions for the games were before development started.

[@greenknight9000]

***** Quite ambitious, we should get sega to finish Sonic The Hedgehog Xtreme for the NX for his 30th anniversary!

[@greenknight9000]

Well, Why not? it's what the future is for, right?

[@VeganPopTarts]

Wow! :O I really wish that this game wouldn't have been canceled. :(

[@kobaltsteel6418]

So here's what I can gather as the Story for Sonic Mars, based on that intro sequence alone. Sonic is using the computer when it starts talking to him. He thinks "Darn it, this computer is talking to me again," and travels to the hardware store to fix that and his friends are there to make sure he goes to the hardware store. I know about the official story (as official as a cancelled game can get), but... this is weirder.

[@Gntaco120]

I have to admit it, both versions are cool and i wish they have been released

[@RetrOfir]

Project Condor is better than Mars

[@Gntaco120]

really? that`s interesting.

[@whatever9744]

Gntaco Johnson you gotta be kidding, these are both terrible. Anyone in their right mind would've canned these, remember this was suppose to compete with fucking Mario 64...

[@Racerman2001]

Whatever974 First one shown was running on the fucking 32X, of course it didn't look amazing. Second one shown was running on the Sega Saturn, which wasn't the best for 3D graphics either, but worked better than the 32X. If you paid attention to the fucking details, you would have also understood that Sega was rushing the team to get a working copy out by Christmas. Because of this pressure (and Chris Senn catching pneumonia), the game was ultimately scrapped. Oh, and Point of View fucking ruined everything by jumping the gun on the meeting with some of the SEGA executives and showing them a hastily done and slow-as-balls port of Ofer Alon's old engine. Ofer Alon and Chris Senn had a much better version of the engine ready, but Point of View held the meeting while Alon and Senn were polishing up the engine, thus nixing the chances of the game being released at all.

[@Tide2703]

[@tacticalmattress]

0:22 looks like a part to the beggining on sonic heroes :D

[@ADjustinG2013]

i wish i could a copy of these games, but thank god that 32x version was never released. Could you imagine how it would have strangely influenced future sonic games if it had been released?

[@TheOOFUltimate]

For some reason, on the wiki, there is gameplay footage similar to this on the page “Sonic Mars”

[@Bloxxer42]

I'm not a Sonic fan, but this game fascinates me so much. This might have completed with Mario and Crash, but Mario still won :3

[@sanicfanguy]

lol knuckles has the runs

[@Pēm̐cā]

Indeed

[@Markis5150]

I'm seeing allot of stages that look like they were taken from Bug and Bug Too. Those games are fun but abit wonky in its 3D at times. But these Sonic stages are beyond crazy. Looks terribly confusing to navigate through,and there were no enemies in these stages either. It'd be a mess to try to finish them and avoid enemies on screen. Some cool ideas on paper but you can see they wouldn't have translated well in actual gameplay.

[@Saxonation]

With the 32X version you can really tell they had no idea of how to translate the 2D gameplay into the 3D realm. Better that it didn't get released. Interesting to look at though.

[@allohtoffbaqphat4547]

[@TheThorns]

although the 32x version reminds me of bubsy 3D it is unique in it's own great way. Still better than sonic 06

[@Zinx10]

Why do people hate Sonic Adventure 1 so much?! I played Sonic Adventure this week (and beat it again), and it is a VERY FUN game.

[@caseycu]

Sonic "extreme" was actually spelled "Xtreme" and the footage played wasn't by Sonic Team it was by Sega Technical Institute, which is part of why it was cancelled (Sonic Team in Japan was basically insecure).

[@RetrOfir]

Actually it's the NiGHTS development tools they needed to finish the game... But the rest of the boss engine looks like nights... It has lighting and etc...

That's because it's not a rom, it's an accurate computer animation of what it would look like on a 32x. Done on an Amiga computer.

It was a shame Sonic never really graced the Saturn, except for a handful of sh**ty games. I can't help thinking things would have been a little better for the Saturn had they released this game.

[@gentarofourze]

I loved Sonic R when it was released, just a shame it was so short, and liked Sonic 3D due to its funky soundtrack, as for Sonic Jam loved the complilation of games, the fmvs the manuals, the history etc, but its true it never had a real Sonic game for the system.

[@stufaryde8819]

I found that Sonic R looked great and sounded great, especially the last stage. But it seemed unnecessary to have the characters handle harder than most driving games. I did enjoy Sonic 3D's bonus stages too. At least we had Nights eh?

did anyone notice that music is the Sonic Generations verses Metal Sonic US version?

@shroomologist 1. Fishing should be put aside. 2. The controls weren't bad. 3. The model movement was fairly bad, I admit. 4. I could easily get through the hubworlds. 5. The casino level was a mini-game itself. 6. Mario 64 and all those games were the same generation.

[@raylyd]

I would say yes sega's dreams are now coming back to life

[@VicViper]

It's from Sonic CD's American version. Stardust Speedway Bad Future.

[@108Stars]

Now please. I liked SA2 too, but even back in the day it had some serious flaws; the camera was horrible, even for the time, and controls were not all that great. Still a nice and impressive looking game for its time, but I wouldn't push it and say it was truly great.

yuji naka didnt developed this game when this game was made he was developing the nights into dreams and sonıc adventure

[@JaxontheYoshi]

[@SuperClassicSonic]

@ShadicChao The DS version of Colors is an improvement on Rush in my opinion, Rush and Rush Adventure lacked a lot of platforming that Sonic 4 Episode 1 and Sonic Colors have(Yes, I do consider Sonic 4 a Rush style game as it does have the Sonic Rush physics engine), and Episode 2, hopefully, doesn't have any 3D unless there's going to be special stages like in Sonic 3D blast(Saturn version)

[@kobaltsteel6418]

No, it was Tiara, an intended playable character for Sonic X-Treme.

[@Zinx10]

@jjnnerazor Wrong. It is the same generation, but a little later years-wise. As for Shroomologist...it wasn't released during the 6th gen, for the Gamecube (earliest console) was released year 2001. SA happened in 1998. You can't say that it started the next gen, for Zelda Majora's Mask (Which is for the N64) was released year 2000. Thus, it is the same generation. I am not arguing; I am just stating a fact about the generation. ;)

[@Mr.Atari2600]

@SuperClassicSonic actually no their was a full 3D sonic game that came out before sonic adventures it's called sonic jam sonic jam was actually a test for sonic adventures i thought sonic adventures was alright but some characters are just god awful but it's just sega learning how to do 3D graphics like crash bandicoot and mario 64

[@tarkeke]

@SuperClassicSonic the sonic levels were pretty fun though..you didn't really need to do big the cat. for it's time I think it was a pretty good step for sonic into 3d, it hasn't aged that well though, but imo the good overweighs the bad

[@gadget2272]

@ShadicChao There's no connection between Sonic Xtreme and Sonic Adventure as far as I know, granted if Sonic Xtreme did come out Sonic Adventure wouldn't get the praise it gets. It's only the hype that surrounds the 3D Sonic games that defends them. At least Sonic Colors turned out to be a fantastic experience.
