Those tyres in Cheetah and Banshee look kick-ass. BTW all the renders are from 1999, as noted on his flickr. That's the very beginning of the production of GTA III! Nice find OP!

Wait, so red red Lamborghini was actually supposed to be the Cheetah?

That's An Infernus AKA Dyablo, Cheetah Was Called Rocket and Used A More "Sharp" Cheetah Model

Yep, beta Infernus is very similiar to Lamborghini Diablo, just like Vice City's beta Infernus.

I Got A Couple of BETA Car Names:

 

Ariant - Manana

Aster - Moonbeam

Beamer - Sentinel

Columbia - Cartel Cruiser

Dyablo - Infernus

Esparanto - Esperanto

Hachura - Idaho

Hum Vee - Patriot

Maurice - Perennial

Rocket - Cheetah

Security Van - Securicar

Sentinal - Kuruma

Shark - Stinger

Space - Blista

Yakuza - Yakuza Stinger

Nice find Haashir. That car seems to have a bit bigger tires than normal..

In One of the Yardie Missions, King Courtney Says He Wants Claude to Steal A Diablo Infernus, But There is No Infernus Available in Portland, so this Means A BETA Mission Got into the Final Version

flickr.com is full of interesting sh*t.

 

I found an album of GTA 1 beta not too long ago.

Can you post a link to that album?

Sure, hang in there.

Hell, even the script of Race 'n' Chase (beta name of Grand Theft Auto) is in there.

 

And originally, there was going to have children, dogs and a speedometer in the game.

At least GTA V will bring the dogs back. smile.gif

 

 

Holy f*ck! I already knew it before that some GTA III beta textures were very detailed but I wasn't aware that GTA III was that detailed. That's impressive.

They are just pre-rendered screenshots. confused.gif

Guys, I Found BETA 8ball Face in "Txd.IMG"

Note: I Found this Face in 8ball's Prison Outfit, so I copied his face, pasted it Over 8ball128 and Put the Eye in order to make this Texture Work in-game smile.gif

This is the kind of stuff I wanted Rockstar to release for GTA III's tenth anniversary, a close look inside the game's development and how it evolved to be what it is today. Very interesting to see how the Zaibatzu were involved at one point.

 

Now if only those storyboards were readable...

Wow! Haven't seen THAT before! Nice job posting these pics! Have some cookie.gif

 

Now I'm not a beta lover, but I definitely love seeing some bits of GTA III's pre-release stages. Because that is my favorite game, and it explains all.

 

@OmeXr, take it easy, let off your steam elsewhere. OK? No need to get all worked up - it's about time you and Filip made up.

I wish they used the GTA2 Style logo.

Yeah, I agree, looks quite nice. But still, that way it would not be original - and the developers dropped some originality in with a new logo!

Yeah, I'd love to see someone remake Otto's Autos or even Duncan's Paintshop, I love the ghetto aesthetic to it. They could even be great additions to a upstate Liberty City mod.

They probably cut the detailed textures, because of the hardware limitations of PS2. wow.gif

Johnny_Cash1983 I prefer the actual logo, it's cooler!!

 

I want to know what's written in the storyboard!! Weird, they change all characters!! The storyline seems way different!

Nice topic! I can see the buildings which didn't make it into a final version of GTA 3, but are present in GTA 4! The Museum and the Church, for instance.

@Above:

GTA 3 Logo GTA 2 Style Was Best,

Since I'm Working on a 3 BETA, Maybe I Can Put that in the Menu And Release it The Sooner I Get More Info smile.gif

This logo was cool (GTA2 Style)

I agree it is cool. But for some reason it was dropped and an early stage of game development and replaced with the GTA III logo as we know it now - whatever the reason was, I guess the developers were looking for something original as for a logo. And they found it.

Sadly, I Like the 2 Style Logo More than Current Because the 2 Style One Gives You the Feeling that You Made a Good Choice Buying this Game.

 

New One is Cool But, A Bit too "Blitz" And Not Enough "Brutality"

Oh really? So it appears you're judging the book by its cover, in another words. What matters is the inside. As I know some games with great covers and logos but which are crap inside.

 

Plus, GTA III is not a brute - and that, I guess, was another reason for dropping the concept.

Not Necessarily By the Cover, Because I Already Learnt that Lesson With NFS Carbon tounge.gif

 

Just the 2 Style Logo Looked Badass, Current isn't Bad Either, Just that Brutality I Love in Games, I Didn't Get that Feel in the Logo, But Still. Kudos to R* For Their Games !

Maybe they wanted this game to be a surprise - so we would find more inside than we initially expected after just seeing the cover and the logo. Who knows, after all?

Yeah, Could Be that.

 

I Like How the Legend of the BETA Remains Even Today !

This Shows How Interested the Fans Are in the History of the Series smile.gif

Just a little correction: only the GTA III beta is popular to such an extent. And why would anyone doubt it? GTA III is the Progenitor of the whole 3D GTA Franchise, if I may call it this way...
