Hoaxes or screenshots?

Dragstik · Dec 18, 2008

Well, I found these on a random google images search:

These are supposed to be Sonic Saturn screenshots. It's very old stuff but they aren't on the Wiki, archives or trash topics.

So, are these real?

The 3D pool cue "BONUS" screenshot isn't a hoax I'm sure. And it looks like the other screenshots are coming from later builds of the Xtreme engine we have.

That Sega saturn logo with sonic in it is just for promotions.

They aren't hoaxes. I think hxc said somewhere that the 3rd screenshot was a fake created by some dude by the name of "Simon", but I don't think I can track that post down.

I still love the Virtua Fighter background though. :P

Oh, I totally missed that.

Well after some more lurking I found that the third screenshot was indeed leaked by someone who named himself Simon.

So, now that I know they are legitimate, I suppose it would be safe to add them into its respective Wiki page

Wow, you learn (or in this case, see) something new every day. To bad Xtreme never made the light of day.

Since we're on the topic of hoaxes, does anyone have the image of Sonic from the MS titles in Aquatic Ruins? Sonic is standing to the left of a log, looking confused because Aquatic Ruins was never in any MS title. Been looking for it for quite some time now but I think the site it was originally on has since then dissolved.

IIRC, Aquatic Ruins is in Sonic Pocket Adventure

No, I'm talking about the "hoax" where Sonic is in a MS version of Aquatic Ruins, not Sonic Pocket Adventure.
