In the end, this game never got farther than early Alpha, and the engine was still being developed by this point. The graphics are probably perfect for both the Saturn and the series itself, as it always had an art-deco-polygonal-robotic-mindfuck look to it. I understand it's pretty fucking weird, but personally I've never been bothered by it. I never understood the hate for X-Treme, it's graphics, or it's fisheye lens. The best part is that although the source won't be distributed, the assets will. Something neat about this is that it'll really help speed along Andrew75's Project AXSX, a sort of remake/recreation/port of sorts of X-Treme to modern PCs using Unreal.
There's a shit ton of stuff exclusive to these prototypes. At this point the binaries are just barely running, and Jolly Roger still has a lot of things to fix to get it to work as close as possible to what was originally intended.Īnd this is the clincher: Only some of the assets were leaked. It's the scrapped Sonic game what could've potentially been the first 3D Sonic game.
