Sonic X-treme (New Paths)

[BoneheadGideon9000]

if the game used the NIGHTs engine then it would've worked perfectly. They could've even used it for future games. This stuff could be competition against Mario Galaxy. The fish eye really gives a crazy sense of disorientation, but in a good way.

[THEno1SonicFan]

@BoneheadGideon9000

competition? you do realize this game was made about 15 years ago right? Pretty sure they didn't know WTF Mario Galaxy was or what it even was going to be.

[BoneheadGideon9000]

@THEno1SonicFan When I say it can compete with Mario Galaxy. I mean if the Xtreme Series continued till nowadays

[1ilRain]

I made a ds version

[RavFLYFFblaSonic2pl]

**** Nintendo :(

[TheCollinsd1]

@RavFLYFFblaSonic2pl Sony killed the dreamcast so Sony is to blame

[dessertmonkeyjk]

The level structure seems to work more like layers of 2D level variations stacked on top of each other and then linked together. Very similar to a 2.5D platformer with a fixed camera angle.

[Paspiedreamcast]

someone ought to finish this game and make the Saturn a huge hit again.

[ChessPieceRook]

Thanks for being a selfish jerk, mr alon offer!!!

because of you, we may never get to play this amazing game!! 3:<

[XKaiminalX]

@ChessPieceRook

Technically, it was the Sonic communities fault that Ofer isn't going to release this, due to they bombarded the poor fellow with hate mail and even death threats which caused him to leave the scene altogether.

[Carsonj13]

@XKaiminalX I don't understand. The Sonic Fanbase DID'NT WANT him to release it? Wow, if that's the case, then we should run a campaign to try and get him to release it.

[XKaiminalX]

@Carsonj13

No the fanbase did, but didn't really ask him in a nice way.

[Carsonj13]

@XKaiminalX So what if they asked nicely and kept it civil?

[XKaiminalX]

@Carsonj13

Then who knows, we would probably have it by now and probably the other builds as well. But sadly all we can say is "what if"

[ChessPieceRook]

@XKaiminalX

if only i was the only one to email him, asking for it.....i'd ask him KINDLY for it, and if he told me to keep it away from ANYONE, then i'd store it on a computer, with absolutely no internet access(so no viruses or worms could get to it), and would never tell anyone i had it.

[EternalREWIND]

Please release the game!!

[GameMasterGuy]

The semi-sphere shape reminds me of the Death Egg Zone, I wonder if that's what this became...

[TranCeFORM3R]

mindboggling

[wockyjet]

I love it but it can be weird looking

[ZettaSho]

The fish bowl camera looks like it could of worked..at the worst there would have been some serious depth perception issues..

[nights727]

It's fisheye, not fishbowl.

[mvcp2]

wow this is tripy as fuck but looks like it would have been an epic game =(

[Fusionman42]

Wow, those roads look incredible. Looks like it would've been fun. Well, at least we still have Sonic Unleashed.

[selaserr]

cool music!

[nights727]

damn, this game was gonna be hawt

[masterpj55]

XKaiminalX how did you got this vid?

from the sentient forums?

because i want sonic x-treme for the pc

(i know it's not possible)

but as you can see this is not the saturn one but the pc one and would have been ported to the saturn (just wanted to let you know)

[drivojulianrobotnik]

Looks like this is on a Saturn DevKit. Windows NT 4?

[XKaiminalX]

Nope, Chris and Ofer didn't work on a Saturn Development kit as far as i know.

[D3vinSawhog]

Very Trippy, I'd like to see what It'd look like without the fisheye camera.

[Nesplayer]

Wow pretty cool video, this would of been a great game if they did release it on the Saturn, thanks for the upload!

[SpeedingHedgehog]

Man, this would have been so cool.

[bkev93]

Aren't they remaking this? Sortof?F

[XKaiminalX]

No they arn't. I think i need to explain these in more detail.

[bkev93]

I know that this is the original build, but I was under the impression taht SOMEONE was trying to make a similar game for PC. CURSE YOU WIKIPEEDIA!

[XKaiminalX]

Well Chris Senn who was the original designer for Sonic X-treme did start a project called Project-S which was going to be an entire remake of Sonic X-treme, but i think they are making an new game, but with some elements of X-treme.

[alexmayergillet]

Can you send this game on my e-mail adress?

where download this game?

[XKaiminalX]

Sorry, but there is no demo of this game. These videos were made back in 1996.

[GriffNZ]

That music is pure sonic!

[bmi100]

If this game were released now, it would be 1000 times better than all the 3d sonic games put together.

[sonicspeed011]

except for daytime levels in Unleashed and the Adventure levels, I am both glad and sad that this was cancelled, sad because it looked so fun, glad because if this was released then all Sonic games would follow this strange design and all games since then would play weird

[DoixStudios]

Or would it.... After all, this was developed by the STI. Sonic Team was making Sonic Adventure at the time this was in development.

[paspax]

Just ISO the thing & let us play it

[XKaiminalX]

Well in theory, there is more than just the 718 demo, but only the developers have the other builds. So i doubt we'd see anything else soon.

[paspax]

wasn't this game finished then canned & there's only 1 ROM/disc in existence.. or something?

[XKaiminalX]

Well Chris and Ofer didn't make a boss battle for their version, which is a pity. I think the closest to a boss battle we can get is some screenshots of Chris Coffins boss engine with Metal Sonic and Nack in it.

[Darkblade83]

If they want to really get their popularity on track, release this as an XBLA/PSN/WiiWare title. No graphical changes or voice acting, just push it as Sonic Xtreme and publish its story along with it. I mean, they made a sequel to Nights and remade the first one on PS2, so why not this?

[authordragonbreath]

Looks like a pain to me, honestly. Why does there need to be a fisheye camera? It makes everything look so bizarre.

[cantsnapurpicture]

omg it is like super mario galaxy in terms of gravity!!! wtf SEGA one dumb move not releasing this one. it would have been amazing.

[CrazyPilf]

As much as I love seeing these videos I wouldn't mind seeing a test vid for one of the other characters.

[nintendogsyo]

I wish this game was released.

[XKaiminalX]

Same here to be honest. But what can you do.

[chickenfetusnarr]

obtain the rights to the sonic franchise, learn to program, and publish this shit. that'd teach those nimrods at sega a fucking lesson.

[xDethax]

Teach them that out-dated games don't re-earn the franchise its long-forgotten respect and place?

[DoctorEggmanNega]

Teach them to finish their job. Really, this would be cool to have as a Wiiware game.

[chickenfetusnarr]

or an Xbox live download

[chickenfetusnarr]

no, teach them how to start making 3d sonic games how they always should have been. Personally i dont hate the 3d games persay, but they severely strayed from the successful formula the games once had.
