Lost Saturn Sonic’s Loopy Level

[wraggster]

Sega having trouble with Sonic? It’s been that way for years. A long time ago on console named after a planet in this galaxy, Sega was developing Sonic X-Treme which had a unique concept of rounded worlds. The result was a game that looks like a mix of Sonic 3D Blast and the PsOne game Pandemonium that we never got to play it since Sega canned Sonic X-Treme.

Most of the revealed Sonic X-Treme footage has shown Sonic jumping outdoors like a platformer. A new Sonic X-Treme video discovered by a LostLevels forum member has more of a Sonic feel to it. In this level Sonic rolls on windy tracks while the whole world spins around him. The effect is neat to watch and it may have been neat to play if Sonic X-Treme materialized.

The game engine itself seems pretty solid in comparision to 99,9% of most 32-bit platformers, but for a Sonic game this would have been awful.

If they only did release Knuckles Chaotix for Saturn instead of that damn 32x...

That's running on a PC actually.Weird but certainly familiar.I mean it has more than 1 route to complete a level just like 2D Sonic Games and the game doesn't look have bad.Impressive I'd say.
