Hidden Palace is going to livestream a new prototype today at 3PM EST, and it's hinted to be "an early Sonic 3D game". Make your bets:>Sonic Mars>Sonic X-treme>Sonic Adventure Saturn>another Sonic 3D Blast prototypehttps://www.twitch.tv/hiddenpalace
Could it be the Sonic game that looks like Bug?
>>12269494That's Xtreme, I think, unless you mean the one that was in concept only that was based on the saturday morning cartoon (satam)
>>12269498>That's Xtreme, I thinkThat's Chris Senn's concept for Sonic Mars, unless anon is referring to something else.
>>12269490They just did that big sega channel dump, so I think that places what they've had access to recently with their contacts stuff that was made between 1994-6, so I think if we're being super optimistic it's might be Mars or Xtreme, or some middle point therein.Sonic Adventure on Saturn would be so monumental that it wouldn't be a shadow drop, I think 3D blast prototype is the boring answer but absolutely the most likely.
>>12269505 Yeah, okay, I can see the comparison. This actually looks better than Bug! to me though, I find that game incredibly tedious.
I don't care about prototypes at all, they're just frustrating (unfinished) tech demos to me, but we all have our own autism so I respect people who care about prototypes.
>>12269490Maybe it will be an earlier Sonic 3D Blast prototype (like that one with the crab Badnik)?I think worst case scenario would be a Sonic Blast Game Gear prototype.
It's an elephant of a room
>>12269508That Sega channel dump were all shitty American tech demos.
I think the only person who could release a Sonic 3D Blast proto would be Jon Burton, and he'd drop it with a tweet like "Just finished cleaning the basement and found this old proto, enjoy it lads", he wouldn't hand it off to Hidden Palace to hype up.
>>12269490Hidden Palace just released a new picture. Can you guess what could it be?>>12270084I think Jon Burton mentioned in the past he won't release any Sonic 3D Blast prototype / source code he has becuase it could get him in legal trouble with SEGA. Only thing he released are those demo tapes, and even then I think he had to ask SEGA if it was fine to release them.
>>12270090>Only thing he released are those demo tapes, and even then I think he had to ask SEGA if it was fine to release them.He also released this too on his own free time which is why I think a 3D Blast proto would be a nothingburger:https://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_3D:_Director%27s_CutI'm very intrigued now after seeing that image though.
>>12270090At least he isn't Chris Stamper who just larps with his prototype trolls for attention and muh cheeky British humor.
>>12270090>Mega-CDIt's another Sonic CD prototype, isn't it?
>>12270090it's JIGGLYPUFF
>>12270090>another fucking proto of sonic cd
>>12270051>I think best case scenario would be a Sonic Blast Game Gear prototype.fixed
>>12270090i just ran this through some intense ai analyzing software.whatever it is, it's 50% complete.
>>12270141the worst joke in all of pokemon anime's story... right next to the GS ball.
>>12269490Stream just started!>>12270139>>12270148I wonder what interesting things could a 50% complete Sonic CD prototype contain. I really don't think it will have any R2-related content, though.
its sonic's schoolhousewe got trolled
SONIC SCHOOLHOUSE PROTOTYPE!
SONIC MARS CD???GET THE FUCK IN HERE NOW /vr/OS
>welcome to E3 2025ok it was funny
they actually showed this at e3? no wonder sega was a laughing stock until sonic unleashed
>>12269490>"an early Sonic 3D game".Oh boy, STI garbage?
>58 people worked on this trashkekohttps://www.mobygames.com/game/85479/sonics-schoolhouse/
How long are they going to spend on Sonic Schoolhouse it isn't funny anymore.
>>12270063While shitty, the Waterworld Genny soundtrack was sex
>>12270210Wdym, this is hype
>>12270226This is all there is dude.
Sonic Riders 1 month before final with a debug menu enabled. This fucking sucks fuck Hidden Palace for hyping this.
>September 1, 2007Retro compliant (as far as this board is concerned,) but only barely.Gee, imagine having to move this thread to a potential >>>/v2k/ .
The Sonic's Schoolhouse proto was genuine?
>>12270251Its literally the same exact game just less functional, not that anyone would even care if there were cool differences but there weren't.
is this all just sonic games no one cares about
>This is going to be the best Christmas ever.(X) Doubt.
>>12270258I ask because of the E3 2025 thing, and because it didn't have the proto title in the bottom of the screen like Sonic Riders does.
Very early CD-sized proto of Sonic Heroes.
Shadow the Hedgehog E3 Prototype?They're most likely saving the Mega-CD prototype for last.
>>12270301Absolute cope.
Holy boring. We used to laugh at Shadow 20 years ago, now zoomers are unironically excited for that piece of shit? What happened?
>>12270330To be completely fair, this debug demo dropping guns with more ammo than you could ever use in a single level makes the experience look a lot less abysmal than it was on release. And the levels generally aren't too bad if you're just trying to get to the clear ring for a neutral ending instead of trying to go for the optional heroic/evil level objectives.
Yeah, calling this now, if they have/had anything actually interesting they wouldn't bury it behind an hour of shadow the hedgehog, this is all we're getting.
>>12270386Don't they typically do two showcases, one on Christmas, one on New Year's Eve?
They have more shit I just do not understand why they do their streams this way, they should show all the games first and the absolute coolest stuff from them quickly, then go back when they're done for you 2 hour+ exploration. This sucks.
>>12270304And indeed it was.
>>12270301Well, fuck, I was wrong.I guess they're saving it for New Year's Eve.
what a waste of time
No Sonic's Schoolhouse proto then?The website's still down.
>>12270417Keep on huffing the copium anon.
>>12270449I'll take the L, I guess.At this point, I'm excepting them to reveal the Mega CD disc is just the disc the devs used to burn the Sonic Schoolhouse prototype.
>site's still down
>no release yet
>>12270725>it's a shadow the hedgehog proto>other one is a sonic's schoolhouse demo (maybe)Who fucking cares? Shadow TH was shit and SSH is some pico game.

>>12270737>Who fucking cares?You do. :^)
>>12270836I really kind of don't. It's a weird hyped up nothingburger stream.
>>12270819>10,000+ PC discs remaining to be added to Redump>hol' up>found a busted console proto>wait til holiday>watch my stream>tl;dr article>game sucks
