An interesting homebrew, shows what could've been had the 32X been given a fair chance at the market. It needs tweaking but the fact that it's running on real hardware is awesome.

@@Mohammed1000real Classifying the 32X version as official just because it has the permission, support, and help of the creator of the original PC version is complicated when the original version itself is an unofficial game. Labeling the 32X version as official could lead to misunderstandings, making people think it is an official Sonic and SEGA game, or even an official 32X game, when in reality, the game is not part of the list of titles officially released for the 32X. Of course, none of this diminishes the brilliance of this 32X version, which, in fact, showcases a glimpse of what the 32X could have been if it had received proper support at the time. The platform was abandoned too early, without fully demonstrating its potential... which led to the misconception that the 32X was an extremely limited platform, something that is not true.

I don’t care what anyone says. This is so exciting that it’s being ported to the 32X! I have a soft spot for the console and it’s amazing to see the love the fans have brought to the console with Doom and now this.

Porting it to the 32X somehow makes sense. Its probably as close to the real Sonic X-Treme as anyone is gonna get.

The fact that someone ported a legacy doom derived port to the 32x is crazy to me.

@Medachod Ай бұрын

This is an impressive effort by the fans. Sucks the 32X pretty much survives on homebrew alone. Not worth resisting a good chunk of its official library. DOOM on 32X will forever be the pinnacle of the 32X homrbrew scene, but Sonic Robo Blast 2 is easily right behind it.

@FinalVibes Ай бұрын

I'd like to think that Doom would be the pinnacle of 32X so far. I hope we are just scratching the surface of what the tower of power can do (32x+Sega CD). Even Genesis homebrew has exceeded original releases (see MK and SF hacks/updates, etc.)

@vcdecide Ай бұрын

@enahu64 There's a misunderstanding. What I meant is that the 32X version is not part of the list of officially released games for the system at the time (those games that carried the SEGA license). Therefore, the 32X version, while it has the permission, support, and involvement of the creator of the PC version of Sonic Robo Blast 2 (the original version of the game), is still an unlicensed game for the 32X, and thus, an unofficial title for the platform. So, unlike other ports on the 32X, such as Mortal Kombat II, Doom (not referring to Doom Resurrection, but the version released during the 32X's launch), and other ports the 32X received, this port is an unofficial one for the 32X, even though it is connected to the original version of the game-a game which, by the way, was created by fans. Of course, none of this diminishes the talent and brilliance of those involved in both the 32X version and the original PC version, which, incidentally, was one of the first Sonic fan games.

✊😎✊Cool the PC version should of been the game we original got as the prequel of what would become Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast if Sega would of just did what Nintendo did with Super Mario 64. See Sega of America had the answers especially after seeing the failure of the Atari Jaguar but instead of Sega making the decision to simply combine the powers of the 32X and Saturn to make their own 64 bit system they got greedy and gave us pieces of things nobody wanted and America's love turned into hate because of it. You see Nintendo saw the future and decided it was time to release the N64 after they perfected all the things Atari did wrong with the Jaguar. In the end they were successful. Sega also had the technology and they allowed Sony and Nintendo to steal all of their magic away in less than one year. The only way Sega could have stayed in the race and kept their number one spot back in 1996 is if they had decided to go ahead and release the Dreamcast with Sonic Adventure as a pack-in game two full years early instead of 1998 which wasn't unreasonable given the timeline of events in how things eventually played out anyway. Why they wasted so much time and money back in the early 90s manufacturing the Sega CD, Sega 32X, Sega Nomad, and Sega Saturn is a total mystery especially when they already had the Dreamcast lock, loaded, and ready to be regulated in these streets of America back in 1994.😳 My guess is that they were looking out for all of the arcade businesses at the time not wanting jump the gun in surpassing what was suppose to be the pinnacle of video gaming of that era. The question would become why would people go to the arcades scattered throughout the world when they can buy a $200 Dreamcast that would surpass anything that can be found in 3-D arcades period? Arcade owners would of lost thousands on hardware and sales back in 1994 if the Dreamcast would of been released then. That's just my theory on the primary reason why it wasn't released. What other reasons could it have been that would even begin to make sense? The crazy part is that's what ended up happening anyway. The arcade essentially became obsolete.🤷 Think about it.🤔

Very impressive. Do we know the resolution, frame rate and polygons per second this game is pushing? Some of the texturing doesn't do the 32X a benefit as it all becomes a garbled mess in the distance but other than that, its moving at a vert good speed which shows the 32X did have what it takes to keep up with the first and maybe even second year of the 32 bit console wars. If i were Sega, I would have released the Saturn as backward compatible with the Genesis and the 32X in order to keep thise revenue streams going. You dont want to cut those consoles off entirely by moving to new hardware. Sony knew this when releasing the PS2. It boggles my mind how Sega and Nintendo didn't realize backwards compatibility only helps with sales.

@@rustymixer2886 Well a couple of things. You couldn't access the Master System without paying for additional hardware. But yes, Genesis did offer some backwards compatibility with the Master System. The problem is that the Master System was nowhere as successful as the NES or the Genesis for that matter so it wouldn't have made such a huge impact because there were so many people out there who didn't even know that a Master System existed. Backwards compatibility really becomes beneficial from a financial standpoint when you don't want to leave your previous generation hanging by supporting that gen for years to come. And the Saturn having built in comparability with MegaDrive, Sega CD, and 32X games would have ensured a few things. Likely it would have outsold the N64. Possibly also it would have saved the 32X reputation of being a failure if it received consistent releases and actual good games. Just imagine playing 2D fighters like Street Fighter Alpha, SNK games, Doom 2, Castlevania SOTN. It didn't make sense releasing these games just on the 32X, but if the Saturn also supported these systems, then your user base goes from a few hundred thousand which is what the 32X sold to several million on the Genesis if it had sustained support to millions or even tens of millions if the Saturn outsold the N64. Of course this is all speculation and just fun to talk about, but I always wondered, just what if that cartridge slot on the back of my Saturn could have played a Genesis game. Maybe one day with a modders magic touch it might.
