Canceled for being too extreme
The titled epitome of ’90s raditude done in by hubris,Sonic X-Treme, was meant to be the first full 3DSonic— aMario 64colleague — and the first of SEGA’s star series for its Saturn system. Like so many subsequent 3DSonicgames should have been,Sonic X-Tremewas cancelled. The Saturn lacked its company mascot, and ultimately SEGA was done in on the hardware side.
We’ve seenleaked footage ofSonic X-Tremebefore, but dedicated fans have actuallyput together a playable demo, which you canget here with a forum registration.
As the thread notes, it’s just one level — with “more builds and levels to come later” — that is “an almost as is port of the engine…how the original developers had left it.” The fish-eye lens that characterized the canceled platformer will come in a later version.
