Sonic X-treme (New Worlds) "Saturn Version"

One of the unreleased videos of Sonic X-treme, that was created by Ofer Alon. I've had these in my possession for months and because i stupidly uploaded one last week, Chris Senn has finally released them.

The song here is called Trench, this song has nothing to do with Sonic itself, Chris made it before hand.

This was the level that Chris and Ofer were going to show Nakayama the day he went to visit the STI, but a series of very unfortunate events happened causing them to miss him.

For some people who have requested the music for this video, heres a link to download it.

A-MA-ZING !!!! o_O

So nice ! Very impressive and original (do you know any games that use descent fish-eye view ? ).

[XKaiminalX]

Well no, no other game has been close to impliment Ofer Alons fish eye. The closest would have to be Mario Galaxy with the spherical worlds. But thats about it.

[fvertk]

This actually reminds me of Mario Galaxy. Really strange... FUCKING strange how Nintendo succeeded with that almost ten years after Sega was apprehensive about releasing a game with it because they didn't think it would work. Wow.

[XKaiminalX]

Sonic X-treme wasn't released because SEGA thought the idea was poor. It was the lack of co-operation with SEGA Japan and the Sonic Team that caused the games downfall plus many many other things.

If this was released, who knows maybe the industry would be different now. And i guess Nintendo wouldn't off made Super Mario Galaxy.

Apon that there is a vast difference between Galaxy and X-treme, Galaxy's levels are spheres making the platforms into little planets, X-treme is just a camera lense.

[fvertk]

Well, I'm pretty sure Galaxy also utilizes fish-eye to some extent, and while the levels are more spherical, Sonic Xtreme's levels are also designed in a circular pattern somewhat.

I've read that a huge twist in the development was when this guy Ofer was fired... not sure I understand why.

[XKaiminalX]

Ofer was dimissed from working on Sonic X-treme, but he carried on working with Chris Senn to make the PC version, which is one of the levels you are watching now. The SEGA PC group wouldn't publish the game for them which caused the end of X-treme.

Galaxy doesn't use the fish eye lense in anyway shape or form.

Why did this game get canned? The Saturn needed a proper Sonic game!

[SonicsMate]

somebody must have these demos somewhere

i wish someone would leak them

and then someone could compile on one disk

[cybersalad]

Wow this is awesome! Never seen this footage before. That original grassy demo was terrible (with the Nights engine) but this is pretty slick!

[YF23BlackWidowII]

ok thanks

[awesomecdiperson]

No its a pc game

[YF23BlackWidowII]

to bad :\ i would like to try it with the fish eye engine but without it humm i don't know :\

is it coming for any emulator?

[awesomecdiperson]

Sadly no

[YF23BlackWidowII]

wow awesome, is it going to use the same fish eye engine?

[awesomecdiperson]

Yep. its called Senntient and its led by one of the former developers of the game

[CornishCreamtea07]

you know out of all the games that were never finished and/or released this is my most favourite one

[enzin2345]

wow that game is cool!... well except of the fish eye camera but have an excellent soundtrack (watch the other videos).

[gmattdogg]

Damn the Saturn's really showing it's true power with Sonic Xtreme. The holy grail of unrealesed games. I would love to get my grubby mitts on this!
