Cancelled Sonic Game Receives Fan Driven PC Port

[Dead Metal]

Why? I mean look at all the crap that doesn't get cancelled, so if SEGA does cancel a Sonic game, don't you think it'll be pretty freaking bad, even for Sonic standards?

i see other people mentioned it first but the first thing i thought when i saw this was that it looked like someone re-skinned kula world

...I'm getting a weird Kula World vibe off of this thing.

Also, whatever happened to that "lost" Sonic game with the weird fisheye camera lens?

HOLY SHIT! Kula World! Someone else ACTUALLY knows about that game?

I had a PS1 demo disk with it on it and played the hell out of it when I was a kid.

Everyone who bought the Playstation Dual-Shock edition had it on the demo disc. I wonder how many people actually played the full game.

Oh glob... 2fast4me... I'm going to have to give this one a pass...

Now, to go back to playing Sonic Adventure or Sonic Generations... and re-forget about Sonic X-Treme again...

Probably a reason it was never finished.

Mostly because it looks like ass. If your trailer can't even make the game look good, then there's a problem XD

There's a Sonic Fans loving the character more than Sonic Team joke in here somewhere but I can't be arsed to find it.

Can't be worse than Sonic Boom though right?
[sub][sub]That can be said even if it isn't that good though. That trailer didn't excite me at all![/sub][/sub]

That looks like the kind of thing I would shoot at if I saw it ambling down a darkened hallway.

This "game" looks like pure "awesome"
Something I "always" wanted to "play"
X-Treme indeed.

So, how did they get ahold of this, anyway? Surely they're not literally just porting the free demo, or planning to design and build all the remaining levels themselves, or this might as well just be a 100% original fan game, which probably would have taken less effort.

They actually managed to land the source code and assets that one of the devs who worked on it had. Said source code was not actually for a Sega Saturn, but for a PC with an ancient graphics card that was very similar to a Saturn, and even had ports for Saturn controllers, but was not directly compatible with Saturn games. It did have a few ports of games that were otherwise Saturn exclusive, though, and was apparently used in development because of how easy it was to port from it to something that can run on an actual Saturn.

Thank you, I thought I was the only one who noticed the sarcastic quotation marks in the trailer.

What quotation marks?

Sometimes, lost things should stay lost. This looks worse than par even compared to most other sonic games.
