This game doesn't look half bad, even if it didn't came out. Sure the fish eye lens might hurt the eyes a little, but if Sega had a chance to re-work it some, I say it would be good on the 3DS.
The Sega Saturn story might have ended better had an actual Sonic title been released (like Xtreme was supposed to). Instead they relied on new IPs that, despite good gameplay, were unfamiliar and couldn't compete.
This game looks sick, they should take it, finish it, and release it for the 3ds in 3d. This game would look sick and 3d, and looks fun as hell, Its like an ultra win
And no, it's not "What it's Love". It's another one, I don't know if as recognized as it, or more obscure, but I remember I heard it on the radio a long time ago...
From 0:14 to 0:31 , I SWEAR I've heard similar music notes in another song, but I just don't know what it was! I guess it was an 80's or 90's song, but I can't remember its name!
its kind of a shame that all that remains of this game is a few fuzzy screen captures from the 90s with this same music in each level. especially given the massive amount of work put into it, trying to get it out on time. in fact, the team at one point actually moved into the office and some of the developers became ill and almost died.
seriously, sega need to get this game out in one way or another
You know what? Why don't game companies make bundle packs on their anniversaries that have unreleased games on them? It'd be awesome! SEGA could have this, Nintendo could have zelda64 & super Mario 128 and rare could have banjo threeie. That'd be the best fan service if you ask me.
This looks fucking incredible. So basically, the good era of Sonic games is sort of like the good era of Spongebob Squarepants. The best came out during the earlier years, but after the franchise kept going without the original crew, it just resulted in it getting ruined. Sonic X-Treme is like The Spongebob Squarepants Movie. The final good work in the franchise, that was intended to end it with the original crew leaving soon after production was finished, resulted in a revival with new people.
@Terryracoon nope, it sucked enjoy your doppleganger the hedgehogs its actually wierd i mean knux was supposed to be sonic's rival but nope sega just did it again again and again i mean holy fuckface shadow,silver,blaze,e-123,rouge Cream, that one human bitch that was pointless in the beginning, omfg it just goes on and on well atleast sonic has regained some of his former glory atm with colours and generations lately and no doppleganger the hedgehogs good riddance to bad rubbish
@apinafilms Of course! Because ONE shitty character is enough to ruin an otherwise solid game, amirite? "SONIC SHUD NEVAH CHANGE IT SHUD B LIEK SONIC 1 OTHERWISE IT IS TEH SUXXORZ" GTFO the universe, man.....
Put simply, SA2 is the only (pre-colors) "modern" sonic game where the gameplay actually works.... SA1 has broken camera and glitchy collision detection, i'll gladly put up with "furry vegeta" in order to get better gameplay.... u.u
This game would have been so good. Practically a classic. It was genius of them to do a 'spherical' take on it with the limits of the Saturn. And Sonic looks phenomenal in this footage. The levels looked interesting enough, and could have definitely been a great spin and rivaled that of Super Mario 64 at the time. No idea why this failed, it has such promise!
@Crappymovies2011 Yeah dude, I heard that somewhere too. It's so crazy how it all just crumbled when they had so much done. It's such a bummer to see this and think back to (personally) when I was younger. It would've made my enjoyment with the Sega Saturn so much more.
this level is confirmed in Sonic Generations, Fang is the boss and Sally is a support character in this stage. Sega leaked it at a press conference. along with Radical Highway and Wave Ocean.
@WinVisten Don't listen to anything Emo Trainer says. I've had a run in with his nonsense before. Oh but just so you know Sally is canon, but only to the SatAM/Archie comics continuity.
@WinVisten Yeah. This is how it's set up. There is a linked continuity between the Games and Sonic X as they and all of the characters in them were actually created by Sonic Team, There is the linked continuity between SatAM and the Archie comics, There is the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog continuity, There is the Sonic Underground continuity, There is the Sonic OVA Movie continuity, There is the UK Sonic the Comic Continuity, and there is the Sonic Promotional comic continuity.
i can't recall any Sonic games that has terrible music. Well maybe 06 because i don't remember anything about that music at all. Even the Game Gear and GBA Sonic games had incredible music. So i'm not suprised with this one in the slightest.
@handofstand 1. There is nothing you can say that can point any evidence towards that
2. Atleast Splatterhouse looks like something that someone would actually put money in and play, sonic xtreme, parden me for saying, looks like a failure of a concept, which is probably why they never released it.
@jonahinfo101 Blame Yuji Naka for being a stuck up prick. The man was so self important that he refused to allow the Sega USA team to use his engine...and when he found out they had gone to the higher ups, he threatened to quit. So, the plug got pulled and they had to start from sratch. Unfortuantely, after two years and a ton of money already invested, Sega didn't want to wait so they pulled their support. This is a simplified version...but yeah, basically, Naka is a prick.
@DarkCrescendo well i wouldn't go that far, i guess the group at sonic team just couldent agree i mean after thousands of failing attempts u think they would get it right. cant thay agree on one thing at lest 1 time
@jonahinfo101 The thing is, if Naka had let them use the Night engine, Ofer Alon wouldn't have had to come up with a brand new engine all on his own and Chris Senn wouldn't have had to quickly design all these test levels by himself. Now, I'll agree that Naka wasn't the only factor...but he was the reason why development took so long. Other reasons were that Sega of Japan and Sega of America couldn't agree on anything, development had to be restarted several times since it was first...
@DarkCrescendo ...slated for the Genesis... then slated for the 32X (which was known as Mars at the time)... then finally slated for the Sega Saturn (which was apparently a nightmare to design for)... and finally Ofer was replaced by programmers from an outside company who apparently failed so miserably to come up with anything of worth that when Naka watched a demo of it, he stormed out half way through...just before Senn and Alon could make their presentation using the game engine they had...
@DarkCrescendo ...developed for the game (which effectively meant there were two versions of the game being made simultaneuosly for the same system, one by Senn and Alon and one by POV. I have no idea what the rest of Senn and Alon's team were doing during this time). Basically, this game was an example of a communications breakdown and management screw up of disastrous proportions.
the music sounds kinda sad. almost like if its telling how the game was cancelled and forgotten and now hopes to be reborn someday.
its almost like if its expressing its sorrow "i cant be cancelled, i have never been alive so i cant be dead now. i want to be played, please release me. i`m not perfect, but i can still be played, please let me see the world. i was never given the chance to show what i can do "
if thats so, explain why in terms of time it has the most thumbs up, but like every day somebody goes "that was the lamest thing i`ve ever heard" "wtf man" "its just a game" i dont see them getting much thumbs up. if you came here just to say that, this is not for you. i was only putting words on the music, i never even said that i had a problem with it being cancelled. only trying to get along with those who actually wanted this game. if you dont care, why bother
just trying to be nice to those who are actually sad this game was never completed. the developer team practically moved into the office working 16 hours, sleeping 8 hours and repeat, they werent even allowed to go outside or call any one. one developer even got Pneumonia and still tried to finish the game, basically putting his life at stake to finish the game just to have everything he did deleted. is that no big deal?
@TheNinwii no worrys if its true it should be heard btw i wish i could play the game it makes me so sad it was canceled maybe the saturn wouldn't have failed so badly therefore giving it a longer life thus preventing the dreamcast comming out so early and sega would still have support from EA and sega still would be making consoles. we will never get the classic sonic back:(
my only problem with it is that it looks like if its played through magnifying screen. it looks a bit weird how the world moves. music and graphics are great. sonic looks weird, probably pre-rendered
From what I see it seems fairly linear and every time the player deviates from the path its usually a dead end with coins or some other item.
Doesn't seem to hard to navigate at all, just that the guy playing in this video goes for those little bonus areas alot making it a bit confusing when watching.
@DarkSpineSonic11 super best movie of the summer it takes place in the 70s and ya know how in the 90s youd say da bomb whell the character in super 8 said the mint
I wonder if the edges that face the camera are impossible to fall from. Otherwise you'd be taking a leap of faith everytime the game requires you to move towards the camera; you'd have no way of knowing where the edge is, or even if there is one.
holy shit did a rom of the game leak after all of these years? I'm shocked.... I only thought I would see this in my old sega magazines... but im watching someone play it now
Looks like it would have been a really fun game :) I love the whole layout of it actually. It's really cool and different :) I definitely think they should consider bringing this back - with this song! I love this song! :D
shame this got cancelled it,would have been 10 times better than sonic adventure. and annoying charecters such as big the cat would never have been created
It looks like they could have succeeded in making one of the first 3D games. If they were to remake this and also give it 3D capabilities that would be pretty nice to see. But this also seems like a very suitable 3DS title and I wouldn't mind paying $40 for this. Out of all the things they could have canceled why this? :C
Later, it ended up with only the team originally doing the boss engine being the only team doing the game, due to the other team being yanked from the project.
They tried to use another Sega title's tools and one point to save time, but ended up almost getting one of Sega's devs to quit, lost a few weeks dev time thusly.
Company thought they went rogue, hired another team on who didn't do much.
One dev quit, other dev hired back on last minute.
I've heard from a source that this game was a disaster to make. It used numerous engines, different teams, and this is only a rumor, but one developer had to actually go to the HOSPITAL from the long hours of frustration put into making this game possible. The game itself had numerous bugs on every engine the teams tried to use, so all of the teams gave up, and cancelled the game from ever being finished. True story.
@CrazyAkuzi he didnt have to go to a hospital though he may have becouse he want to make this game perfect and had a strict time limitthe sress and the amout of time he did work on it almost gave him a sickness that could have killed him
This looks absolutely breathtaking and innovative. God it's such a shame the saturn didn't do well. I have a special place in my heart for old school sonic games, I feel like this should have never been cancelled. We can probably blame the sorry state of current sonic games on the cancellation of this game. Sonic adventure was a big misstep, and all the games after that just seem to be tailor made for weeaboo furry types.
@stayelusive Boy, someone doesn't like new generation Sonic. I personally think the Adventures were the the second peak in gaming for Sonic. (The first Sonic 3 & Knuckles) True, the overall likability of the more recent Sonic games have more been to only certain tastes, but to say they are all trash is a bit harsh. And what's that about furry types? The only thing I see that is "furry" are the main characters of the games. The gameplay and stories have been fairly consistent.
@stayelusive sonic adventure was decent adventure 2 was fantastic heroes was decent shadow sucked 06suck fast forward to unleased hald fantastic hafl sucked colors fantastic generation from what we know looks fantastic
Well, served a good purpose for their work in Sonic Adventure

if thats so, explain why in terms of time it has the most thumbs up, but like every day somebody goes "that was the lamest thing i`ve ever heard" "wtf man" "its just a game" i dont see them getting much thumbs up. if you came here just to say that, this is not for you. i was only putting words on the music, i never even said that i had a problem with it being cancelled. only trying to get along with those who actually wanted this game. if you dont care, why bother

just trying to be nice to those who are actually sad this game was never completed. the developer team practically moved into the office working 16 hours, sleeping 8 hours and repeat, they werent even allowed to go outside or call any one. one developer even got Pneumonia and still tried to finish the game, basically putting his life at stake to finish the game just to have everything he did deleted. is that no big deal?

@TheNinwii no worrys if its true it should be heard btw i wish i could play the game it makes me so sad it was canceled maybe the saturn wouldn't have failed so badly therefore giving it a longer life thus preventing the dreamcast comming out so early and sega would still have support from EA and sega still would be making consoles. we will never get the classic sonic back:(

From what I see it seems fairly linear and every time the player deviates from the path its usually a dead end with coins or some other item.
Doesn't seem to hard to navigate at all, just that the guy playing in this video goes for those little bonus areas alot making it a bit confusing when watching.

I wonder if the edges that face the camera are impossible to fall from. Otherwise you'd be taking a leap of faith everytime the game requires you to move towards the camera; you'd have no way of knowing where the edge is, or even if there is one.

It looks like they could have succeeded in making one of the first 3D games. If they were to remake this and also give it 3D capabilities that would be pretty nice to see. But this also seems like a very suitable 3DS title and I wouldn't mind paying $40 for this. Out of all the things they could have canceled why this? :C
candyman567 7 months ago
@candyman567 There is a huge back story to why they canceled this.
10samm10 7 months ago
@candyman567 The short version:
There were 2 seperate teams working on it; a team for the regular levels and a team for the boss levels.
The main levels went with the fisheye look and the bosses were more traditional.
The two teams basically started developing two entirely different games.
Sega reps checked on them. 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.
Strindom 7 months ago
@candyman567 (cont)
Later, it ended up with only the team originally doing the boss engine being the only team doing the game, due to the other team being yanked from the project.
They tried to use another Sega title's tools and one point to save time, but ended up almost getting one of Sega's devs to quit, lost a few weeks dev time thusly.
Company thought they went rogue, hired another team on who didn't do much.
One dev quit, other dev hired back on last minute.
He got pneumonia, game cancelld

I've heard from a source that this game was a disaster to make. It used numerous engines, different teams, and this is only a rumor, but one developer had to actually go to the HOSPITAL from the long hours of frustration put into making this game possible. The game itself had numerous bugs on every engine the teams tried to use, so all of the teams gave up, and cancelled the game from ever being finished. True story.

This looks absolutely breathtaking and innovative. God it's such a shame the saturn didn't do well. I have a special place in my heart for old school sonic games, I feel like this should have never been cancelled. We can probably blame the sorry state of current sonic games on the cancellation of this game. Sonic adventure was a big misstep, and all the games after that just seem to be tailor made for weeaboo furry types.
stayelusive 7 months ago
@stayelusive Boy, someone doesn't like new generation Sonic. I personally think the Adventures were the the second peak in gaming for Sonic. (The first Sonic 3 & Knuckles) True, the overall likability of the more recent Sonic games have more been to only certain tastes, but to say they are all trash is a bit harsh. And what's that about furry types? The only thing I see that is "furry" are the main characters of the games. The gameplay and stories have been fairly consistent.
Exception is 06 =P
