    Nothing that concerns this place in the least.
    Wow, this just gets me sad about the game's cancellation all over again.

    Great work, HXC! Congratulations on your promotion, as well. That character looks interesting. Too bad the game got canned. I wander what it would've been like, and also if this character would've appeared in future games.

    Don't think so... Unless there was a Sonic X-Treme 2 or something.

    Oh, that's an easy one. Tiara could be a rival to Amy Rose, and they'd constantly get into fights over Sonic. At least that's how I see it.

    Hence why there should be a seperate 'Researcher' class with the same forum access as Tech Members, to avoid these dilemmas on whether proper researchers should be promoted to "Techie".

    *comes out of lurking mode*

    As a certain Sci-Fi character would say: "Fascinating"

    Neat to see the evolution of Tiara. That last one seems to most resemble what we can probably guess is her final form, as seen here.. Or, at any rate, as final as she ever got.

    The game play footage looks promising, although clearly not in-game footage.

    But this was before it was called Sonic Extreme, you say? More to come? Hmm..

    I have a feeling that this is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

    ...Or just rename "Tech Member" to something more general, as sometimes the promoted person has done both tech and other kinds of research.

    Yeah, infact, that would probably create less needless complications than my original suggestion. ^^; Good call, ICEknight.

    Very awesome.

    Too bad her character design is awkward. Reminds me waaay too much of Archie's Sally Acorn character. =\

    Well remember that it used to be Members +, which made them sound superior to others. I think it's best as is for the moment -- these trivial complicatons over a group name are uneeded.

    Agreed. If anyone has a problem with someone being a techie, regardless of what they did, then perhaps they need a little break from the place. After all, lol internet. Its just a title, with a little respect and recognition on the side. We are all pretty equal around here, and one big community either way. It shouldn't matter. Like Tweaker said, its not worth arguing about trivial things like that.

    Congratulations HXC!

    Actually, it looks a lot like what could be one of the concepts considered on the journey. I can easily see myself stuffing a CD into my Saturn and seeing that. The Saturn is exceedingly good at sprites and sprite interactions, and I'm betting Xtreme tried to use that as much as possible.

    that's a demo video, not a game at all. Its showing off a concept to the higher ups :)

    *raises an eyebrow*

    Wasn't there.. a 3D model of sonic that was thought to somehow relate to Sonic Extreme? I think, if memory serves, it was found in a Saturn development kit.

    Hmm.. looking at it, I'm not sure now if that model really fits what we see in that animation, but it was just a thought.

    Looks neat.. Looks like that could have been a cool game XD

    That 3D model is used in Chris Coffins boss levels iirc

    Interesting video...

    HXC, do you know if Senn can show us some concept arts of Gazebo Boobowski? That'd be worthy too ^^

    That page has been through the CulT spin machine. There's no evidence at all those 3D models were anything more than samples for developers to practice with.

    (The same goes for the textures - RSAND probably is simply a descriptive term rather than referring to the level Red Sands.)

    EDIT: Other criticisms to prove my initial point:

    1) "Little to anyone's knowledge, and up until this point undiscovered, these 3D models were part of a stolen Sega Saturn devkit." It's not a devkit, it's a modelling program.

    2) "Included were other rarities, such as a 3D model of wipeout and the sourcefiles to a Virtua Fighter 3 tech demo." There's a 3D model of some sort of futuristic motorbike/car. No source code of any description.

    3) "A 3D or piece of one." OMG A 3D

    4) "Xtreme's awful looking metal sonic" There is no evidence this has anything to do with Xtreme. It's just a Metal Sonic model.

    5) "What the fuck? Sonic had a 3D model at one point? It would seem so. No further info is avalible at this time." At least this is more or less accurate - it's just a 3D model of Sonic someone made for the samples directory, probably to show off omg textures (the eyes and shoeband use them).
