Is there any bears in the source code because I heard they tried to add bears to gta san andreas but it looked stupid because of the animations

I'm fairly sure someone found some reference to a mammal in the game files. Can't remember which one, and how much of a reference it was. I could be wrong though, but I think it suggested that R* tried to do it, and decided to scrap the idea.

 

There is a bear in the source code though:

Has anyone here ever looked into the unfinished bus driver minigame/side job? 

 

In Las Venturas, on all game versions, you can get a bus or coach bus and drive around some specific locations at north of The Strip, stop on bus stops and pedestrians will get on your bus, however they never get out of the bus.

 

I'm quite sure this is a unfinished feature.

I fully restored it here:

 

 

It's a VC feature that was being updated for SA during the development, but was obviously never finished.

I apologize in advance if what I am to ask has already been discussed in this thread before, but is it true that GTA San Andreas was originally to be on 2 discs for the PS2 and because of this had better graphics, assets and more missions? I mean, the old concepts for some missions are far more fleshed out (like that of Photo Opportunity) and there are tons of dialogue leftovers for missions including alternate sets of dialogue (and of course character switching, whatever that was about and if it really involved Claude and Tommy or if it involved Cesar or whoever), alas I am not fairly confident to the origin of this rumor. Does anyone know anything about this?

I believe It was Obbe Vermej who said that It would require multiple disks,but It wasnt because of graphics/assets,It was because of the map,It was believed to be too big for one cd on the PS2 hardware,like in Gta 3/Vice City where there are loading screens between Islands,as for the missions,sh*t changes mid development,some plot points are dropped off entirely,or the devs just don't think It's good or the missions don't work properly(like Impounded),like Big Smoke's dialogue during his missions that gives away much earlier his betrayal, AFAIK the only cit content related to Claude are a actual character model for him outside cutscene and audios for him and Catalina f*cking mid race,and for Tommy It's all just rumors

Was genuinely excited to see another notification from this thread, thinking that someone made an interesting discovery.... and then I click on it and I see this sh*t.

I didn't notice before, but, what if bridge over Grove used to have abutment under?
I also notice that bridge over Idlewood looks similiar to this one, and he have 4 abutments.
I tried to add one, looks like i need to make him smaller, and move him close to sidewalk

You should add a walkway in the middle of it so you can reach the little shortcut

I didn't know, but, cscopcarla.dff from cutscene.img (that one which was seen of Beta Pics) have different engine than final in gta3.img.
Also, damaged boot model looks more rounded in tailight area, than final, maybe this damaged model from previous taillights model. 
Final Premier still have this engine. image.thumb.png.d4e025214cd6c6a0bea2be70b2713f9d.png

Spent some time with Wayback Machine, old good flash GTA San Andreas website, prt screen key and Photoshop.
I noticed this before, back in 2020 i even tried to recreate that old mansion look...

1. As you can see, famous Malholland Mansion (beloved by many players in SA:MP,  had different look.
Shape can be found on that R* old flash site, the little shot of him in ending of First Trailer of GTA SA.

2. Behind him - there is another one, same, different from final game. Same, can be seen behind in ending of first trailer.

3. Odd, but famous class-safehouse have much different shape on site too, weird shape.
But screenshots of this place on site with all known Beta-model.

Interesting, but, on this flashsite's map, the place we all know as "Jim's Sticky Ring" have different shape too.
It looks like BurgeShot with Drive Through (?), but with Donut on the top.

In SA DE Main SCM leftover, there'sold disription of mission which we know as "TORENO'S LAST FLIGHT" in final version.
The whole script seems to be same as final, but discription from 2003 different.
