  • AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE THAT THINKS MARIO GALAXY COPIED THIS

  • @AquaTiger20XX : Amy was not going to be Knuckles girlfriend. Amy was created back in 1992. (Sonic CD came out in 1993) Knuckles was created in 1993 and was made for Sonic 3 (1994).

  • @AquaTiger20XX Not all Mario and Nintendo fans are like that you know. Some love Sonic and Nintendo.

  • The first showings of Sonic Xtreme had poor reception...

    I can actually see why, despite the game itself looking epic.

  • This game looks just like a more 3D version of Flickies' Island which was a pile of shit. This was not going to be Sonic Adventure, I am glad he got his 3D debut there instead.

  • this game never came out but then after Nights came along and fited the concept and took it

  • This would have been an epic non-Sonic game. It doesn't have enough space to be fast.

  • and later it was once again ported into a wee little game we call SONIC ADVENTURE

    only with the original sonic and stuff

  • I would have so bought a SEGA Saturn if this came out.

  • Me wantz 3ds remake.

  • En 1997 una chica llamada lauren, estaba caminando en un bosque,despues desaparecio de repente nunca nadie la encontro hasta el 2000 cuando otra chica llama Mary encontro su cuerpo y unas marcas en su pecho decian: no era lo suficiente hermosa" y ahora que haz leido esto ella aparecera en tu espejo diciendo que no eres lo suficientemente hermoso y te matara!(por cierto la chica llamada Mary murio poco despues)Para poder salvarte pega esto en otros 5 videos.ESTO ES CIERTO

  • like the AVGN say: ''it sucks ass!!'', i mean the gameplay was slow and yeah, it's SMG in 1996 but damm i glad that sega didn't released this

    just personal opinion **waits sega gayboys, i mean fanboys attack**

  • like the AVGN say: ''it sucks ass!!'', i mean the gameplay was slow and yeah, it's SMG in 1996 but damm i glad that sega didn't released this

    just personal opinios **waits sega gayboys, i mean fanboys attack**

  • @TheVideogameDC But also what the AGVN says,

    "even trough it pisses me off, I can't really complain because this was never released !"

    the build showing here is very incomplete and slow, other video's of the later builds looks awesome,

    But again everybody has his own opinon, hooray !

  • @janmansde3dede

    The later "builds" are completely unrelated to this version, the other builds are from the PC version which would you believe it, was developed on and for the PC with the intention of porting it to the Saturn later down the line. This version on the other hand is pure SEGA Saturn developed.

  • oh my god. It's fuckin' Super Mario Galaxy in 1997!

  • Its similar to Mario Galaxy XD.

  • spin slash looks awsome that should have been keept :( this game would have been fun! - ish...

  • The real Sonic 4

  • @SuperPro6UYA33 no. the real sonic 3d blast

  • @Sonicfan3841 you like blowjob??

  • @coincui What?

  • @Sonicfan3841 you like blowjob??

  • @coincui What?

  • meh, nohing special

  • I heard the story of the development of this game. There were lots of complications that eventually left only 1 guy working on it, and that guy almost died from working on it so much, and it took 2 years for him to recover.

  • i dont like this. it feel like sonic is in a snowglobe or something and it makes me dizzy and weres the speed? if this was released people would have freaking siezures lol

  • im sorry to say it but i dont think this was a good game to begin with, and looking at it now; ppl would just complain about the physics in this game like they do now with sonic 4. also ppl would just complain that this is not a proper sonic game. it would had been odd going from playing sonic 3 to something like this. i hate to say it but sega had the right idea to cancel this in going against playstation at the time.

  • I want spin slash!!!!

  • I don't know if it is the build or what, but from that gameplay alone, it dosent look like a game id wanna play. the movement looks really akward and the camera is so close its hard to see whats ahead of you :(

  • @DakkoX You have to take into account this is a beta, they show them at E3 to get tips on what to do, among other things. If Sega of American hadn't destoryed the Saturn's chances, it may have been an awesome game. =[

  • looks kinda like mario galaxy.

  • The controls look too touchy, like you couldn't go even a moderate speed without hitting something and dieing. Also everything from the background comes at you too quickly when going towards it.

  • sonic X-treme is better than sonic 3d blast

  • SEGA should release this to the 3DS with some few adjustments, it would be a prefect game.

  • @JustAnotherSonicFan I would rather have Sonic Adventure 3DS

  • @BlooLegend or a Mario and Sonic platformer

  • SO much POTENTIAL! WHY?

  • If Sega is REALLY going to listen to fan feedback, then reattempting this game and releasing it on the Nintendo DS is a must. Why the DS? Because the DS has no texture filtering, therefore the game will look great on it. I don't know how they'll pull off the Fish Eye camera on the DS, but it may be possible. They could also add some extras including screenshots and concept art from the original, video of prototypes, and the like.

  • Am I the only one who is glad that this game wasn't released? Looking at the game, it seems as if it would be more sheer frustration and confusion than anything. I already see many portions in which speed is forsaken for painfully accurate ball rolling technique, not to mention that the parts he can speed in seem to require the telepathic ability to see oncoming obstacles before they appear ala Unleashed. Still, it would have been interesting at the least.

  • Haha! Proof that Sonic Colors is not a Mario galaxy ripoff! Sonic was in space FIRST!

  • @sonikkufanboy theres proof at the end of the second game if memory serves

  • @sonikkufanboy

    ...and every single Sonic and Mario game are copied from Atari 2600's E.T.

    E.T made adventures in colourful world(s) FIRST.

  • Yuji Naka why do you have to be so selfish!!

    This game is something that sonic 06 or shadow the hedgehog will never...FUN and AWSOME!

  • Wait, it was gonna have the freedom fighters in it!?

    Why does every game with the freedom fighters in it have to be cancelled!?

  • if this game was released sega wouldve probably done alright in the western market...

  • not only did it not get relsed sega never tried to bring it back in life but hay at lest sonic colors coming and what a great title too lets add a rainbow to the game too and have soinc and mario join up at a gay pride parade sorry for bad spelling i think sonic needs a vaction and bring new life of alex the kid and atlerd beast should come back with a remake or something all bring back goldin axe oh yes lastly shenmue 3

  • @steveandbobsho Umm they did make Altered Beast for PS2 and it sucked balls. Golden Axe for PS3 and xbox 360 was total garbage.

  • this game sort of reminds me of super mario galaxy....

  • @rekki111 no. super mario galaxy reminds you of this game...

  • @fierothehedgehog Geuse what? this was before galaxy read the title it says 1998.

  • @fierothehedgehog Quit being an elitist.

    If I saw Galaxy before I saw X-treme, this reminds me of Galaxy. It's correct. It doesn't matter if one came after the other.

  • @fierothehedgehog yay i know that but i want to be able to play as sonic though

  • what's this??? it isn't sonic x -.-

  • Sega should finish this game and put it on wii ware psn and xbla.

  • I don't see what they can't make an actual Sega Saturn release of this.  They should do a special limited printing of it, where you can reserve it online, and get a copy. Just for old time's sake. Kind of like classic games does.

  • i swear to god i remember playing this a long time ago...

  • @dynamitex2000 how? i only have leaked rom of game,and there are no enemis:you just walk around and collect 50 rings.

  • @dynamitex2000 Dont swear to God! Its bad and mean to God! anyway this game looks terrible!

  • @LSLguy46 can u say BETA?

  • It's a ver interesting way of play... Mario Galaxy gamplay looks similar.

  • lol it was terrible xD, if this would have released, sonic decline would have started a lot earlier than sonic heroes

  • @jeremycards The decline started with Adventure, too overpolished and user-friendly. X-treme on the other hand looked like a breath of fresh air for the platforming genre.

  • @strykah92 Sonic Adventure? wich one? the one with a score of 8.6 or the one with a score of 9.4 on ign?

  • @jeremycards Review scores lol, play Street Fighter III 3rd Strike, compare it to its critical acclaim and realise how wrong your point is.

  • @strykah92 Sonic Adventure 2 was a masterpiece and it still is the best sonic game to date for me and a lot of people, i knew people who bought a dreamcast 1 year ago only to play it 100%. And im talking about grown up people above 17 years old, not just kiddies. I can´t even rembember how many times i beaten that game.

  • @jeremycards Actually Sonic CD on the Mega-CD is considered to be the best Sonic game of all time. SA2 reeked of an insipid cash-in for the kids and Shadow is obviously a response to Wario. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the SA games and also SH, but to say Heroes started the decline and Adventure didn't is rather laughable.

  • @strykah92 response to wario? evil versions of the main characters exist since the beggining of storytelling practically. Besides, shadow's story on sonic adventure 2 is the most complex plot a sonic game ever had. I had to really sit down and analise everything to really understand what was going on. Too bad sonic heroes and shadow the hedgehog fucked up his story, it was amazing in sonic adventure 2.

  • @strykah92 SEGA just needs to keep the Sonic series in 2D or 2.5D. None of this 3D crap or other types of gimmicks. However, the new SONIC colors looks alright based on gameplay footage from E3.

  • 1:23 - 1:23 looks like the section in sonic adventure where all the fire blows out of the walls in the temple level.

  • it was canelled cause one of the lead developers left, and the other got phnemonia. lame

  • Why sega cancelled it LAAAAMMEEEE >:I

  • looks cool, kinda like that game were you go over the cubes and get keys and shit and try not to fall

  • this game looks epic sega fucked us over

  • @FOZproductionz They fucked up with Jet set radio wii as well..

  • @FOZproductionz Actually it looks awful.

  • @Oscy that was a very meaningful comment

  • @FOZproductionz Well of course it's meaningful. It has a meaning, its purpose is dictated by logic and its basis is sound.

    What an odd comment. :s

  • @Oscy wow you're right, you're because being closed minded and judgemental about a game you've never played or anything for that matter is so extremely logical and meaningful

  • @FOZproductionz So if I played this game I would have an entirely different experience and perspective of it compared to watching it in action?

    That's about as logical as your post was eloquent.

  • @Oscy sure man whatever makes you satisfied

  • @Oscy futt

  • @FOZproductionz Hahahaha you came back to a 3 month old argument. Well 3 months on, it isn't so bad for me to wallow in your defeat, can't say the same for you.

    You: "This game looks epic"

    Me: "this game looks awful"

    You: "OMGZ you haven't even played it so you're being closed-minded and wrong! I haven't either but I'm right!!!11"

    Haha love that logic.

  • @Oscy LMAO you're just a futt 

  • @FOZproductionz Keep crying and making up words, they don't have the desired effect on me.

  • @Oscy look it up on urban dictionary LMAO not makin it up :D

  • @FOZproductionz owned.

  • @Oscy Actually, yes. You might. At first glance, what may appear dated and bland might actually be entertaining and addicting. I understand it might LOOK awful, but if you were to play it, you might change your opinion. Some games are just like that. It may look dull, but once you try it out you can't pull yourself away from it.

  • @Carsonj13 The stop-start flow, the unclear layout, the complete lack of speed and style, the inability to move with pinpoint accuracy. There's nothing smooth about it.

    Don't try and make out I'm just saying the graphics are crap. Right now, I'm playing games from the 1980s. Graphics are not an issue.

  • @Oscy That's kinda what I meant. I wasn't just talking about the graphics, I meant the gameplay. The level design looks rather unworkable, that much is true. As for the speed, alot of Sonic games from the nineties were more about platforming than speed, and were not chocked full of loop-de-loops and slopes. Sonic 1 and CD anyways. I think that may be what this build was going for.

  • @Oscy All in all, I think you might be right, I personally prefer Alan Ofers build to this.

  • @Carsonj13 Sonics 1, 2, 3&K and CD all allowed you to zip through a level with some style, to varying degrees, though a few of them also let you play at a slow pace to explore the levels too. Here it seems to have neither, and the controller doesn't appear to have complete control so that lets it down too.

    I have no idea who Alan Ofers is. :D

  • @Oscy You think this looks awful? How so?

  • @FOZproductionz yeah, like a piece of epic shit. lol.

  • The fisheye view makes this look terrible

  • @scourfish I actually think it makes the game look more visually attractive than Mario Galaxy and it's circular platforming.

  • wow look at how if sonic stands behind a rock the rock is behind him

  • The way the world kinda turns around reminds me of Kula World.

    Oh man.. those were the days.

  • thats exactly what I thought

  • no, Sonic 3D Blast + Super Mario Galaxy = Mario VS Sonic in Space 3D Edition

    lol, sorry

  • Actually it reminded me a lot of Bug! .

    Only a lot better and with much much faster scaling.

  • It reminds me of BUG too. I think i'm going to get that next time I'm out,

  • Don't! Bug sucks dick.

  • LOLLLLLLLLL. I actually had the PC port when I was a kid. It wasn't very good.

  • Wait a minute! You had Sonic X-treme? But it was never released! How did you get it? If you still have it, PLEASE leak it! It would mean the world to me and many other Sonic fanboys and girls out there!

  • I was referring to Bug!

    This game seems to have used the same game engine.

  • @travisahhs Proof or you never had it. If you leak it, your ego would grow even higher! But at the same time, tons of people would be thankful. That is if you still have it, or ever had it.

  • I had BUG on pc, not Sonic X-Treme. My comment was a bit misleading.

  • @travisahhs Ah, well that changes everything lol. I must admit though, the two games have the same forward and back 3D style. I feel Sonic Xtreme did it better by the looks of all these vids. Sorry to sound so harsh. :P

  • aww its sad it got cancled <:(

  • Does anyone remember what the RPG shown at the beginning of this video is called? I remember playing it round a friend's house years ago...

  • Ah no worries -- a bit of rummaging round the ol' interweb has revealed it was Dark Savior...

  • dark savior

  • Well if they were to release it on wiiware they would have to reprogram and redesign the game from scratch as SEGA does not own the original games engine. Ofer Alon does, he designed and coded the games engine and editor from scratch and since the game was canceled, it belongs to him.

  • They should really revive this project and make it for DS or PSP since it would run on them.

  • yeah thats what I was thinking as well

  • After learning of the history of this game, I honestly think this might've been the start of the downward spiral of Sega. (with exceptions of SA and SA2 of course)

  • i bet this has the more intresting story of the 2 canceled games i mean they were overworked here

  • i'd say they should use the hedgehog engine to revive this game!

  • they were 5 employes were working on it but then it was called off for sonic's genesis colection in fact shadow was ganna have levels like this and sonic will have 2d/3d knuckles more of an arena like sonic 06 and tails likesonic adventure dreamcast

  • i guess a pc version was planned at one time it went nowhere

  • shadow didnt exist yet at that point silly. Shadow came into existence in 2001 when SA2 came out. this game predates it by quite a few years.

    and it wasnt called off for any game. it was cancelled because of internal problems between Sega of America and Sega of Japan. budgets, misunderstandings, (when Nakayama came to the american branch to see how Sonic Xtreme was progressing, he saw the wrong preview. he saw an older version of the game that they werent using any more.)

  • i remember seeing a 2d version of this with sonic having the spiky things out. i can see why it was canceled though

  • thus it was cancelled otherwise it would still be in production or done. comprende?

  • yeah over ten years later it comes out that would be shocking would would even buy a saturn game?

  • I think I seen that same ad that you seen. Because I remember seeing an ad for a 2d sonic extreme in a Sega Truck. This was back when Sega had these trucks going all over the place, and then they would park it in front of like a Toys R Us or something and people can go in and play Saturn demos. And on the TVs without Saturn Demos, they would constantly run these ads, and one of them was Sonic Xtreme, and I remember it looked 2d and Sonic's spikes on his back were huge.

  • i cant hear shit

  • The cancellation of this made sonic how it was today. Sonic Xtreme got cancelled, so they made a saturn port of sonic 3D blast, then they made the ill-fated sonic jam. then came (shudder) sonic R. After that, they needed a new game so they started working on an RPG which became sonic adventure. the sonic franchise was Reborn. if theyd just made this or made a good SS sonic game, sonic would still be the cool spiky dude with attitude.

  • Sonic Adventure is not an RPG.

  • No, its not. I never said it was However, It was going to be an RPG, sonic team was working on an RPG for the saturn, and later the dreamcast. and then it ended up as sonic adventure. case cloased.

  • Sorry i read it wrong, and Sonic Adventure never started out as an RPG. It was always going to be a 3D Sonic Platformer.

  • While programming, yes, but in 1997? They wanted an RPG but scrapped the Idea because there were too many sonic games that were too un-sonic. So they decided To make a platformer instead. I don't like the sound of a sonic RPG though. I'm glad it became sonic adventure.

  • And how did you hear of this? Chris Senn said Sonic Adventure started out as just a normal Sonic game, but on the Saturn.

  • Theghz and various other sites. Perhaps it wasn't going to be an RPG, but maybe an adventure game, rather than a platformer. However, what i CAN say is that the working title was SONIC RPG

  • Ahh right, i'll have to have alook around.

  • Theghz is a great site with the history of just about every sonic game. did you know knuckles was gonna be green? did you know that in 1990 dreams come true had a giant sonic painted on the side of their tour van? did you know sonic was gonna be an RPG? =p

  • sorry i meant did you know sonic adventure was gonna be an rpg.

  • COOL

  • They shoulda' relesed this for GamCube instead of Heroes or just let Naka leave

    This is like Galaxy,64, and 2D Sonic in one

  • -.-' I wish people would stop saying that, the game was not even close to being finish, nothing was done and there was no one to finish it in the end.

  • So they coulda' restarted,it really shoulda' been finished or started in 1991 instead of 94'

  • The Saturn was in development in 1991, The development of Sonic X-treme in 1993. Plus no one would want to go through the development hell that the STI did.

  • I was meant to say Wasn't for the Saturn part.

  • most of the points are true man what i said and ok dood calm down i just typed in the facts i remember from the top of my head, i have grown up with sega ya know lol I did read years ago that sega of japan didnt like it one bit and asked for redesigns of the game.

  • SEGA Japan had no problem with the game only Naka causing a stir because he wouldn't let them use the NiGHTS engine. All SEGA Japan did was send over reps to see how the development was going which caused alot of stress.

  • What i hate about the SEGA Saturn however was that Sonic Team decided to just lazily port Sonic 3d over and they should of spent more time developing the console and its launch games. It wasnt till the end of the Saturns lifespan we saw classic gems like burning rangers and shining force. It could of beaten the Playstation i just think SEGA were a very risky hestitant multi million dollar company at the time, but anyway shame the institute doesnt exist anymore, they made a sonic satam game

  • Tbh this should of got released but heres the story behind it...back in the hay day of SEGA, the american corporation of SEGA had a group called the technical institute of SEGA Lol anyway around 5 months before the launch of the saturn this was being developed behind sonic team japans back, they got wind of a technical demo and yugi naka slammed and condemned it from ever being released untill it was properly developed, lots of the american team started to drop off and the project got cancelled

  • Man, you haven't a clue, Its called the SEGA Technical Institute, it wasn't made behind anyones back. Naka slammed down because he didn't want the STI to have his NiGHTs engine. 2 people nearly died during the development of this game, and alot of people left due to the politics running through SEGA at the time. Read the facts.

  • i agree with you.i read about the history of sonic xtreme and it was a tragedy,they left the game before its done.and one more thing before saturn comes out yu susuki dont like the paraller architecture of saturn (dual cpu and dual chipset for graphs, one for 3d and the second for 2d.and he was wright because most 3d party software abandon saturn for 2 reasons,1 for the dificult hardware and 2 sony money did the rest.

  • And of course N64 finished it off by having better games,better graphics, and simpler hardware.

    If Saturn was harnessed right,it still couldn't match N64 with CD

    Had Japan waited for SEGA of America to agree on ditching Genesis(seriously Saturn was clearly forced and 32X had no light) we'd all be biting our tongues

  • The Saturn was never harnessed the right way, so theres no way of it predicting that the N64 could beat it. But i understand what you mean.

  • Actually SEGA hit it.Did you see the Shenmue prototypes for Saturn

  • So they claim, but theres very little evidence to show it. That video proves there was a Shenmue on the Saturn, but not at its full power.

  • well the 32X was the first nail in the coffen for the Saturn Sega realy did mess it up and it's sad because the Saturn had pertenil of being the best 5th geration console

  • No it never coulda' N64 woulda' stopped that system in it's tracks.Nintendo was the dominating company until about Virtual Boy's fall

  • well it was the Playstation that stoped it in it's tracks the N64s problem was that it had cartadgers that cost more to make

  • True

  • ok first of all i think it would be great if sega released another console after dreamcasts success it would defo sell well (if it was any good) and second of all nintendo only are where they are today coz they used illegal monopolising tactics in the days of the nes

  • if they released a console it would be bad let them get out of debt first but I do want sega to come back there a way better game devloper then sony sonic is way past anything sony can make or nintendo or microsoft I do have a 360 and a wii and a ps3 I play my genesis more then anything

  • Urmm.. Nintendo made better than SEGA did, you must admit that even though it pains me to say it.

  • no they diddnt Id rather play streets of rage then double dragon id rather play sonic then mario Id rather play comix zone then battle toads
