PPR Presents Limelight: Viewpoint 2064

Lost media is so weird, like, somewhere out there, in some random room or shelf, is something that’s complete and ready for public consumption, or a piece of what could have been, like a reel of test footage for costume demos for Tim Burton’s cancelled Superman film, with Nicholas Cage donning the cape of all people, and Burton doing his best to pose him like a dollar-store Johnny Depp going to his local comic con.

There are so many weird projects like this that have just fallen through the cracks, and are only now getting a second-hand lease on life through the aftermarket preservation efforts of the internet at large, and today, we’re going to stream one of those efforts for y’all:

The master build of Viewpoint 2064, the long-lost sequel to Sammy’s sole release on the Neo•Geo, only now for the Nintendo 64, has now been found and dumped for everyone to check out, and Georgie is going to try to take y’all through the ambitious vaporware shooter.

Be sure to tune in to our Twitch and YouTube channels at 7:00 PM PST on 12/04/2025 to watch an unreleased video game from the studio that brought us Snowboard Kids and Trap Gunner! You can check out the streams here or directly on our Twitch and YouTube channels, and vibe along with us as we work towards ushering in a new age of Limelight for y'all!

PPR Presents Play Play: Project AXSX Demo

ne of the more intricate nuances of video game culture strangely enough is all of the content that doesn’t leave the cutting room floor. The unreleased treasure trove of games and levels comprise a sense of personal history that actively distinguishes video games from any other media form to this very day.

When these canceled bits of code and projects actually manage to see the light of day, the gaming community strives to make sure that spread the forbidden lovejoy of these unearthed games for as many as they can to play it; and sometimes, it takes some fan efforts to go on and finish what the original team never could. Chris Senn’s effort for the famous hedgehog’s flagship Saturn effort for example is a holy grail of sorts for unreleased games; and a team of fans by the name of Project AXSX has taken it upon themselves to deliver a fan completion of the mythical Sonic X-treme.

We got our hands on a demo of it, a really early work-in-progress of it, and well, we try to be really over optimistic over whether or not this ambitious take on the blue blur deserves to exist.
