Here's the one you've all been waiting for! Just early, I'm going to be away on the 9th so Christmas has come early for you Sonic fans. This is a preview build of Sonic Unleashed for the xbox 360. The exact date is unknown, The disk was written 1/09/2008 yet the XEX says Sun Aug 31 22:41:02 2008 while the dev menu says Revision 6005 Mon Apr 21 06:50:59 2008. This has to be one of the best betas out of all the others I released! It's full of debug menu's, Tools, Early levels changed graphics and there's even the E3 Menu still within the files. Did I mention there's some old level files still on disk and some boot? :o (Picture of the titlescreen from this build. Click for a larger image.) This build is sadly missing a "Disk 2" but there's still ton's of epic goody's buried within this. Before you launch, The debug menu is very buggy and can cause your 360 to freeze. If you've got 360 XDK/Dev Kit this is more ideal to test on as you can use the xbox 360 SDK to reboot the system on crash without powering down. I cannot legally provide a link to this so please don't ask. (Picture of the disk, Click for a larger version.) Notes: Clicking left on the title screen shows an "install" menu. Clicking this enables you to select levels/some cool features etc. Clicking LB + RB + B opens the debug menu. (Clicking again closes.) Hey, check out that dismembered arm! Clicking the Left stick and pressing X opens the Sequence Check Menu. (Clicking again closes.) Loads of screenshots can be found here, http://imgone.co/category/unleashed But here's a few for the thread. (Clicking the image opens the full sized image.)

I've split the iso into 7 chunks and reuploaded to a few other hosts. I suggest using adblock to be safe as I've never used these before other then to check speed of the downloads. To recombine the iso use this tool: http://www.filesplitter.org/Free-File-Splitter-v5.0.1189.exe Open and click join files and select the file ending .iso.chunk001 (make sure all 7 parts are in the same folder.) These links below are interchangeable so if one reaches the maximum downloads you can use the other host for the next link. i.e Chunk1 Mega then Chunk 2 1fichier and so on. 1fichier allows full speed on files also without an account but there is a small timer after you finish. (Thankfully not as long as Mega's.)

Not a problem. A few people said they're hitting Mega's lame download limit on the single file. For the past hour or so I've been uploading a split version with interchangeable links so if Mega imposes the time limit you can change host. This won't work on the original link sadly but the hosts I've picked seem to be fast as Mega is. Will edit these into the first post shortly, Still got a few GB to upload on the Mega one's.
Still wished there were a Ps3 beta build. I don't have a 360 which make me sad thatI can't play this... But one thing for sure is that I hope that the cutting room floor will make plenty of documents for me to read
Don't know of any PS3 Unleashed builds sadly. I have 1 All-Stars Racing build but I cannot post that here due to rules but the links on AssemblerGames but I won't link the threads here. I know of 2 more Wii Unleashed builds 1 DRX has but wants/wanted cash to dump. Thread was years ago so not sure if he still does. He also has a 360 build of Unleashed if I remember right. The other Wii build I'm trying to buy as we speak from a private seller. There's possibly some "alpha builds" in this lot but I won't know more for a few weeks yet. (Also possibly WiiU builds.)
Wow, this is some great stuff! There are a lot of differences which is really interesting. (I saw them in this video.) And that jumpball! :specialed: I've always loved it and finally we have its model. Can't wait until someone ports that to Generations lol. I wish that smoke like boost effect was still there though.
lel I got it to run in xenia, but of course the emulation isn't the best at the moment. For the future, just in case xenia ever gets capable enough to run the game, you need to extract all the files from the ISO into a directory and decrypt/uncompress the .xex with xextool.
Oh wow didn't think 360 emulation had come that far. By the way, Do you want me to upload the beta's to the HiddenPalace Wiki? Unless DRX doesn't want newer stuff posted. But saying that, I did spot a Wii build on it.
Oh yeah, you might want to hold off on doing that for a while longer since we don't have a lot of disk space left. I'm keeping an archive of everything until we get some free space.
Glad I asked lol. If you need some private web storage I can do upto 400GB on my private server until DRX gets new drives added. (100MBIT port) WGET/Etc would work. Already got these builds uploaded to this server anyway if it helps. (Including the one's I cannot post here.)
So, judging from the content we've seen in this preview disc, what's the deal with the DLC. Are we looking at the modern version of Sonic & Knuckles as they had to get this out the door by Christmas? Or were there concerns that this wouldn't all fit on one disc and they had to cut some of the content in order to lower production costs? Or both perhaps? Certainly seems like most of the DLC wasn't really new content after all. Shame.
Not a problem. PowerISO can view the files not sure about anything else. Mounting the image may work though as this isn't a retail 360 disk it was a DVD-R. I reckon they cut it to make more profit. Don't think space was a worry as from what you have seen with this they intended to do 2 disks originally.
Most of the DLC stuff wasn't even finished in this build. Most of the werehog levels in this build weren't finished either. Only Apotos Night and Mazuri Night are the only 'Complete' levels for Night time.
Oh that's too bad. I was hoping to see playable segments of Arid Sands Night's cut-off section featuring the removed obelisk-toppling mechanic.
