Геймплей битвы с Метал Соником в Sonic Xtreme

Да, вы не ослышались. Спустя 15 лет было обнаружено ещё одно видео на котором можно наблюдать небольшую часть этой битвы. Она была показана в канадском шоу "The Anti-Gravity Room" в 90-е. Сам геймплей вы можете увидеть на видео выше начиная с 3:44.

Также Andrew75, занимающийся разработкой Project ASXS (фанатской попытке воссоздания Sonic Xtreme), раскрыл некоторые детали касаемо битв с боссами в игре, которые стали известны после интервью с Кристиной Коффин (Christine Coffin), одной из разработчиц Sonic Xtreme:

The L,R triggers were set up to rotate the camera around sonic.

You could also press a certain button on the Saturn controller to

‘lock the camera onto the boss’ so then all of your d-pad movement

would become relative to the boss character.

 

For example:

lock on mode controls:

left/right on d-pad lets you circle strafe left/right while facing the

boss (good for dodging projectile from mecha sonic)

up made you run towards the boss while the camera is still looking at

him.

down made you run away from the boss while the camera still looked at

him.

 

As you can imagine, fighting the boss with the camera in ‘lock on

mode’ is very useful to dodge harmful things from the boss, and makes

it feel more like a 1 on 1 fighting game which is what I wanted.

Having the unlocked camera mode, where the camera stays in 3rd person

view behind sonic is also useful as well, so it depends on player

preference and certain bosses (I had plans for another boss to spawn

smaller enemies around him that you would have to jump/spindash into

and they go back to fighting the main boss)
