This would have been one of the greatest games ever made. It seems even futuristic to this day.
>>12029765It would have saved the Saturn, nay, the GAMING INDUSTRY.
>>12029772Ok yes. However, thanks to no Sonic game of any consequence released on the Saturn, the system flopped and was a major cause of Sega eventually leaving the console business. So Naka got his way at the expense of the Saturn having any chance of a comeback. There were many factors that contributed to the Saturn’s demise, but infighting was a big part of it.That said, I haven’t seen any screenshot or video of Xtreme that doesn’t look like a total disaster, so I doubt that Nights engine would have done anything to save the game unless it was completely rebuilt from the ground up and ditched the ridiculous fisheye camera.
It really felt like they had a great skeleton of a game and were just terrified of giving people motion sickness with the fisheye lens. You know how those damn Japs are.
>>12029781I guess people expect Naka was supposed to drop everything and go across the world to save a game he had nothing to do with. A game that looked like a disaster in the making. It’s weird no one is mad at STI for screwing up so badly. Somehow it’s Yuji Naka who’s wrong…somehow. Again, for he game he wasn’t even working on.
it can be whatever you want it to be because it never released
Sonic X-treme is like communism. It was hyped up to fix every single problem in the society, except it was impossible to achieve without killing a bunch of people in process, and some people nowadays still cling to the ideal it represented, stuck ideologically in a completely different historical era.
