Astérix Speedrunning: xxl2

martyste

btw interesting fact: the tunnel is a LVL sas part. And something betrays it replacing a sector

martyste

this object is a zone of its own. it clearly was destined for more than this.

martyste

(after all the concept art of the island doesn't let the shore curve that way )

martyste

I don't understand how these models btw look a bit prettier on Blender than ingame lol

failentin

oof x)

failentin

I bet the ghost Romans were initially intended for the ship wreck...

martyste

the alternate to spyro's path is a bit unclear, since the concept also shows the DK area. But, you can probably guess that since these blocks don't show on the map either, they're an underground section.

martyste

near the end i suspect these polygons to represent lava.

martyste

the werstern side of the island is more water focused, and even had one more of these jumps to pierce below!

martyste

the entrances are a bit unclear tho, you seem to need to go both left and right from the Jurassic Door

failentin

The geometry on that side sure looks confusing... I can't really work out a path

martyste

this concept of a Star Fox reference changed a lot in the final game

martyste

the reference is retained thankfully.

martyste

i think we all missed this detail tho... "Good Gaulish Inn"

martyste

This has to be parodying some kind of Inn trust system, maybe the same exists today but Gaul is France instead

martyste

this doesn't exist in final Venicia.

martyste

Yoshi, and Banjo-Kazooie were intended to show up....

martyste

if one of you knows what this portal thingy is supposed to be...

martyste

more pirates stuff.

martyste

and this super early concept of it. Still no tunnel!
