God, I can't imagine how anyone developing the original Sonic X-Treme thought the fisheye lens would be a good idea.

On paper I can kinda understand it. The fisheye lens does, in theory, let you see more of the scenery at once which in a game as fast as Sonic would be helpful. In practice it just looks like a mess, lol. I don't really blame the original developers or anything for the decision though because there was absolutely no blueprint to work off of to make a 3d Sonic game. Super Mario 64 wasn't even out yet.

Fish eye effect gives a sensation of speed,makes normal 3d look much faster,I would say it was a way of making a slow engine quicker which would be needed for a sonic game but also because the engine wasn't speed orientated They should have made a racing game type of engine much like they did for sonic adventure I remember one of my friends telling me he seen sonic adventure before release and he was amazed by it,he told me it was like fzero x n64 but sonic

Great job to all the developers! I'd love to try my hand at making some Saturn stuff myself someday (once I've finished my Mega Drive projects). I really need to buy a Saturn console and Satiator later this year.

Just wanted to say I love your Saturn reviews. Especially the longer ones with developer insight and interviews. I found your videos about a month ago and it’s been really cool finding out all this new information about games like NBA Jam, Virtua Racing, etc. Even the Corpse Killer video was really interesting, which is more than I could say about the actual game. 😄

Looking forward to these

That Unreal port is pretty phenomenal looking.

Yesterday, a friend of mine and I were talking about Saturn homebrews and how despite being nearly 30 years old, we still haven't fully unlocked the secrets of the console, then I saw this video, found out about the Homebrew Contest, immediately told him about it and said "we're actually closer than we thought".

I could really go for some steamed crabs after that intro phone call

This video is my retro e3❤️.I found last years contest video a month ago and seeing a new one this year is very exciting. Thank you for putting together this presentation , it’s fantastic seeing so much Retro SEGA love

It's great to see Homebrew support for Saturn. Sonic X Voxel was truly the most surprising to me, it looks great and proves the original terrible idea could have actually been fun and playable. Wolfenstein looks rock solid.

I love Sega Saturn, and your video can already be considered one of the pearls for the community of this beautiful console, thank you!

The first gunfriffon is still one of my all time fave Saturn games.

Drift King was already an absolutely intense game. Now with **the** legend cameoing in it? I am ready.

these homebrew contest videos are what i look forward to every year

Sincerely hope to see more Saturn reviews from you! You’ve quickly become one of my favorite creators on KZread

This was really enjoyable to watch and very exciting to see new saturn games,translations and tools You are all doing amazing work and it is VERY much appreciated I personally would love to see a day when xl releases his engine and tools for us all to have the chance to work on projects for the saturn,the joe engine is actually more impressive in its scope than what I had originally thought,seing these projects and their progress encourages me to want to work on things I only ever dreamed of for the saturn so thank you to all For me there are two things that I would love to see running on the saturn,id simply like to know if they are at all possible 1.a mario 64 castle demo,1 environment and a fully functional mario to control,I have always wanted to see a fully 3d platformer on the saturn,I would like to see how far the saturn could be pushed towards this using mario 64 as the upper limit in terms of poly count,high resolution textures,speed and draw distance,the saturn demo from last year with the pony was quite impressive,especially framerate and draw distance,but I wonder what the saturn could be capable of if it were drawing much smaller single rooms in high resolution 2.sonic adventure SS Take burning rangers ,the speed,character model view point and level design and swap the model for a low poly sonic adventure one,I think burning rangers was the baseline for sonic team when they were developing a 3d sonic game,for me,burning rangers reminds me ALOT of sonic adventure - sonic adventure is more like a racing game akin to fzero than an adventure platformer like sm64 and I think the saturn can pull it off burning rangers style so I would love to see a demo of a sonic game where the focus is on a streaming racing style 3d environment,if the PlayStation can do spyro,then could the saturn do a spyro clone with sonic ? To take the starfox megadrive demo back in time to when starfox was just released for the snes and show the world,no one would believe it yet we can see what is possible,I think the saturn is capable of more,XL proves this with his amazing engine

I would love to see the reaction from some of the devs you've interviewed to what XL2 has managed to pull off

What a huge undertaking making these videos every year. My kudos to you and all of the contestants!

Looking forward to this :) I love your videos.

Superb video! I can't stop shouting about Shutokou Battle '97 - I spent the entire weekend playing it.

Sorry, just finished watching the Unreal entry, and boy if that engine became open source i would love to port Perfect Dark to the Saturn. I love that game so much!

HOLY- this video was abslolutely amazing. Honestly I don't know how to explain to you how cool this all was. I just MAN like honestly I only a pc around about two months ago and haven't fully been able to do all the funky functionalaties not possible without one. I mean hell I don't even know how to reallly downoad games outside of steam or how to get or how an emulator works! I do know I want to use this for music making and I do have a game in mind I want to make (though I have literally no idea how to start, like I have 0 coding experience but it seems fun at least). But man this was just a whole ride man.

Is 6 am here .. when is the great panda starting? 4pm yey!! Notification time And where are the rest of your saturn reviews,I love your videos,your virtua cop one was AMAZING

Wow this is awesome what a talented community love seeing this love for the Sega Saturn my favourite console and great video 👍

Great video, Nick. Well done to everyone involved with these games.

This was delightful! Incredible how vibrant the Saturn fan community still is, I would have no idea if not for your videos.

Absolutely fantastic, kudos to everyone! But now the question is... when do we organize a Sega Rally Netlink event?

Irreel is absolutely fantastic, I knew the Saturn never reached its full potential even as a kid in the 90's. It will sound insane, but if I was a billionaire , projects to revive the Saturn would totally happen and I'd personally pay handsomely these teams to make official games and even bring Shenmue to the Saturn. All the sequels the competition got the Saturn didn't, they would be brought to the Saturn, as they should. Sonic World from Sonic Jam would become a full-fledged game. Even as a Sonic kid I never understood the appeal of the Sonic X-Treme prototypes and always thankful they never released that, Sonic R was my 3D Sonic on the Saturn. Now with DOOM 32X Resurrection, the Saturn must be avenged with the true DOOM version it always deserved, that id dev shat on Saturn players back then, how they gave the crappy version the Saturn got the green light is beyond me. The first Brazilian homebrew shown here feels like the Atari 2600 attempting to present anime sprites, can they be any jaggier? Metal Slader Glory for the Famicom features anime style artwork and looks superb, basically HD in comparison, I know this is just a homebrew, but the lack of care unfortunately is impossible to ignore, the real backgrounds also will never blend well with anime style artwork.

I'd pay too for a real "fourth generation" SS title (Shen Mue should have been one, along with VF3 conversion on stock hw, as confirmed by Yu himself at the time), sadly currently I don't see any competent/skilled enough developer (apart from Maxim/XL2) which could handle those kind of projects..

With infinite money to spare, assembling teams would be easier than we imagine, specially with better tools and more knowledge of the hardware available today, and many passionate fans would be willing to work on it. I think we could reach many of the best developers for the Saturn from the time, Japanese and Western, if not to work on new stuff, they could provide important insights, maybe even source codes, etc. We'd totally see sequels we didn't get, and projects left behind, not to mention new stuff from fans, like Ireel and the such.

I hope that these games get some attention and finish up, they all seem interesting to play.

Wow that 3D engine for unreal is wild 😍

Love the GFFFFFFFFFF cameo

I'll keep an eye out for Omakase Savers when I go to thrift stores

To be fair, Quake has a more complex level design. Unreal is lot more sparse, but it does have bigger outdoor areas.

Hi, in your latest video (The Mansion of Hidden Souls on Saturn) can you please tell me what was the last song in the video? The comments are off so I couldn’t ask there. Really love the little tune…

@PandaMoniumReviews

Жыл бұрын

Hey thanks! If you mean the song in the credits, I mixed that myself. It’s the deep heavy fireplace tune from the first Mansion game put to a beat from the Metroid Prime soundtrack sound font.

The Sonic game looks neat, though the draw distance is a bit too low. Don't know if it's possible to even do anything about that.

@PandaMoniumReviews

Жыл бұрын

If you look at Sonic Z-Treme (XL2) from a few years ago, his take on Sonic Xtreme has better draw distance, but it looks different from Voxel’s demo. Greater draw distance would depend on how efficient the developer’s game engine is with the console’s resources.

Just wondering why you're limiting yourself to just US releases? There's lots of European releases you could do and that's not taking into account the tons of Japanese releases although that could be more difficult due to the language barrier.

It's because I intend to document the Sautrn's performance in the US, though I do plan to cover JPN/EU games as well. For example, I recently covered Parodius. It almost got a US release. I would also like to someday do a video about Death Crimson, since it's one of the best video games ever made.
