The way I understand it, there was a DVD of clean footage sent to a few people (ASSEMbler and TheRedEye got one I think).

The length of the video is the same length of the demo, anyways.
I remember assembler saying he was going to upload it btw has he gotten rid of the watermark?
I can't see any of the images on the 1st post:shrug:
I can't do anything with the video because my DVD drive is fucked, we're all just waiting for assembler to start a torrent or something.
do you need any special software for torrents:confused: or are they just click and play:confused: (yes i know dumb question but i am not an expert at these things)
Yeah, you need something like bittorrent or azureous, and also you need to setup your ports correctly for good download speeds. its not difficult.

I've asked HXC this question (to hopefully ask Mr Senn and Mr Wallis), but I thought it worth asking here too:
I went on to:
http://www.sonic-cult.org/
And read their interviews with Wallis and Senn.
Now, this is what Wallis says about Chris COFFIN:
And Chris, he was like at the time 25, he was this hot-shot programmer, great guy.. and he litterally moved into Sega. He moved out of his appartment, moved all of his stuff into a storeroom at Sega, and he moved his bed there, and he slept there. And he'd work... he was like a human Dynamo, is what he was. It was basically all hinges on him because Ofar got very pissed off and he said "I'm off the team" and he quit Sega and he left. So it was all basically hinging on Chris. Chris, for about 7 or 8 weeks worked about.. I'd say, 20 hours a day. And there was a shower there and everything... the guy was insane. And he basically worked himself into the ground.. and then he caught walking pnemonia sometime in late August, and he basically came to me and said "Mike, I can't do this anymore.", he was so sick and he really was. I mean, the guy looked like a Ghost. So I said, "Alright. That's it. We're not gonna do it. We're not gonna get it done, the project's over."
Yet Senn says this, about himself:
Were two people sick?I took on far more than was healthy... and after 2 years I became extremely ill... a nurse told me he thought I had 6 months to live, actually. I lost 25 pounds, was sick all the time, had cramps... and still went in to work... all due to too much stress.
Senn never mentions Coffin...
Ay carumba, and then we get onto the different versions! Saturn, PC, different engines, porting, for the love of humanity! No wonder this project went under. It's a maze of confusion. :DOH:
My understanding is that somebody named Chris became seriously ill during the later stages of production, though what seems to be causing most of the confusion is that both Chris Coffen and Chris Senn have given very similar recollections. The switching of engines, platforms and now Senn's revelation that STI had other projects as back-up plans (who'd ever heard of "Condor" before?) makes Sonic X-Treme a complex, often conflicting mess that somebody really needs to compile into a more cohesive story before anybody else falls victim to the many different accounts that are currently out there. The problem is, who can afford enough headache tablets to take on this gargantuan role? I'm already feeling sorry for Chris Senn, who's promising just such a thing over at his site...
What I remember back in the days of sonic xtreme was the big amount of marketing trash you could see around: box hoaxs in toy shops, candys in the 7eleven and some weird icecreams in the store.
I wonder if the guys who went and bought the license from SEGA did something went they find out there was no game after all....
