This page sucks.
If you could make it suck less, that would be awesome.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

Five prototypes of the Xbox 360 Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut were retrieved from PartnerNET. They are dated January 8th, January 22th, January 30th, March 26th, and August 1st, 2010. A sixth build from February 4th, 2010 was found on a development kit.

While three builds from December (dates range from 15th to 30th) 2009 have also been found, they consist of only the executables with no playable data.

General Differences#

Title Screen#

Jan 8th

Aug 1st - Final

  • The title screen is slightly rearranged, in addition to a different button prompt and border.

Face Scan#

Jan 22nd

Jan 30th - Mar 23rd

  • For whatever reason, the builds between January 22nd and March 23rd boot into a facial recognition scan that requires a password to bypass. The January 30th build adds a border around the screen. The password is "Sonikudamoxi".
