fareed Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Hahaha.Look above the van's front. "Z". Can anyone say "Zaibatsu"? Did they originaly plan to put Zaibatsu in III? Maybe they tried to as it was a well known gang in gta2. Or maybe that 'Z' sign doesnt stands for Ziabatsu but some adverertisement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Papagiorgio Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Wow these beta shots must be really early in production. (late '00,early'01) i mean look at that. Looks like they didn't have plans for the Punk Noodles restaurant back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarjar Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Wow crap, this is bloody early in production, where'd you get it? Yeah, like all the GTA games, things we're planned, removed and some still left in the game. Take San Andreas's Hot Coffee for example, or the workman's trailer in SA, the ghost town in GTA3, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think thats is actual name but it's all I could remember, it's a trailer that couples onto the back of the Utilities Truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Yes, I know what Zaibatsu was from. (GTA2) Also, look over the Z. There's text. Looks like it spells "Z A I B A T S U" to me. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong though. Yeah, I see that too. You never know, they had a lot of plans that didn't end up in the final game, as they had in VC and SA too. Bit of a bugger really, they had some really cool plans by the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarjar Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Well everyone I just found a hint towards this stuff being 100% true. You know how earlier in the topic there was talk and images about a Blue Cop car's rather then a Black Car's? Well I was needing to check something out on GTA3, so I loaded up my PS2 GTA3 and I noticed something in the introduction movie at the start. When it shows the 2 cop vehicles (a car and a van) there blue. Just like they are in the picture posted earlier. But, on the PC (I have both PS2 and PC versions in case you we're confused) the movie is different, both are actually black. So I'm guessing, yes, the Cop Vehicles we're originally Blue, and when changed, Rockstar forgot to change the movie at the start of the game, they then realized this and changed it for the PC version. Interesting isn't it? I'll see if I can get some screenshots to prove it to you . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a best sellers GTAIII (which in the United States its called the "Greatest Hits" program) and the cop cars were "pandas" in tthe opening movie too.

-.Jilgard.- Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 i wonder what r* had in mind to do to the towns in the mountains north of lc and i wonder why they had left them out, wierd, i wonder what strange things gta4 will have to offer I've seen parts of that ghost town if some pics posted in these forums and in youtube. Doesn't it look like Wall Street? Correct me if I'm wrong, I've never been to NY yet. It would have been SO F*CKING COOL to have had Die Hard 3 style missions in that part... Anyway the black cop cars look a lot better. Those beta pics look like it was planned to be a "Happy World GTA"... We must admit how GTA3 was finally released because it won't change (although if R* decide to "remake" it, which is unlikely to happen I think). But good topic by the way, very enjoyable to see "what if?" things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTAThomas Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Yeah the area in Shore Side Vale with the tunnels most interests me. Compare the city sizes of GTA1 and GTA2 to GTAIII's. They're much larger. Maybe Rockstar had originally planned to make this "Upstate" (As GTA:LCS refers to the area). Then again, it may just be a coverup so people wouldn't think Liberty City is an island, that it's actually attached to a state (As in real life New York). Anyways here's an even scarier image of the Beta Claude. Compared to another Beta Claude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMFF Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Back in the prime of GTA3, there were a bunch of rumors going around about changes being made to GTA3 because of 9/11. Changes such as: Darkel: Taken out due to terrorist missions Clipped Dodo: Wings were clipped so you couldn't recreate 9/11 Cop Car Color: Changed from blue to black so it wouldn't look like NYPD cars Loss of Limbs: Must be used by a cheat to activate Character Skins: Change skin cheat would not allow the cab driver Although there were several reports where Rockstar had said that they didn't change anything due to 9/11. They claimed they liked the idea of rampages better and that was why Darkel was removed. I guess we can't know for sure what the reason was, but it seems like it could go either way.

jarjar Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 MMFF - Thats exactly what this topic has always been about . The changes. We do know for a fact they changed the game due to 9/11. What we don't know, is what everything was they changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pranjal Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 (edited) Loss of Limbs: Must be used by a cheat to activate Strange!!! I have also heard about it that it can only be activated by a cheat code.But in my case, loss of limbs is there in the game itself Or maybe that was disabled in some versions.

GTAThomas Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Same for me. I baught the game a few months ago for 10 dollars and the loss of limbs are very present from the start without any codes. But there is a cheat code to activate it, for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey guys one of the ladies on the radio right from the first time your in your car after the first mission she says "So I'm setting here reading the Liberty Tree and in nearby Carcer City JUST OVER THE MOUNTAIN police officer Gary Shaw has been cleared of corruption charges let's hope those missing witnessess turn up safe and sound." So why would rockstar put the bank over the hill and put Liberty Bank" on the front This is very strange! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
