>>97287104The original guy claimed he got the game script/docs while playtesting in...fuck, France or something? It was extremely suspect. Forum members who did hacking and such (this site, Cult, was tied to Sonic Retro back then) verified that pertinent bits and pieces were in the game's files (Venice, most of the Blaze bio, Elise info not relayed in gameplay proper, etc). Makes sense since the shipped version of 06 is literally a beta build from months ahead of going gold since the final builds had serious crashing problems and they had to roll that shit back instead of fixing it.
All that comes down to their word, because
A. You can't fucking prove that kind of thing unless you just have a video camera rolling as they go through the whole process of cracking the game open and going through it all, slowly.
B. It's all just raw text.
And even then this is going off memory. I can't tell you how iron clad it is. Hence bringing up the fact that it was confirmed indirectly but officially when the cape concept art came out.
Anyone can go and find this info again if it's really in the game, you just have to be adept enough to hack open the damned thing. I doubt anyone's gone through the effort again because who the fuck cares enough to do that to confirm minor trivia that was never even implemented?
