Of course the infamous closing of Tequila-la

@Dalia

 

- Michael has an iris variation so his eyes actually change between blue and Green.

 

OT:

 

- Male Police officers had the same uniforms as the Female Officers and drove the Vapid Staniers.

 

- Security guards originally had a generic security logo on their shoulders.

 

- The crew members seen in the first trailer are actually placeholders, if you choose the quiet approach you and do the Exterminator van preparation mission you will be able to recognize one of the faces.

 

- The Blista Compact was ment to be in the game as spotted in the first trailer, however it was later changed into what we know today as just the Blista.

 

- Pack Man originally took place in Davis and Strawberry instead of Paleto Bay.

 

- In the second trailer the line ''OH MY GOD'' is actually a pedestrian quote.

 

 

Hey Tenxax, welcome to the party, great to have you here, I'm impressed by all your work from the 'little things thread,' Looking forward to see what you find.

What motorbike is that?

I don't understand why people keep quoting and replying to posts from over 2 years ago.

[Ellie-H]

BETA Michael was actually called "Michael De Santos"

Each Player had Intro Names, which were never used, in fact no intro names were ever used in the game at all if I remember rightly,

 

x64v.rpf > textures > script_txds.rpf > splashscreens.ytd > gtav_playerintronames_michaeld

 

However Michael was always named "Michael Townley" before hand as you can see here:

 

Here are the other Player Intro Names:

sorry for reply old posts , but , it seems that these were going to be used either for specified missions , or after the use of character wheel as the name of the file suggests

 

e.g. (Its spelled right?) =

Trevor Philips = After switching to Trevor

Or

Franklin Clinton = In Franklin & Lamar

 

anyway , if neither of those , i dont have a clue

 

 

 

(Should i just add the pictures instead of replying ?)

I don't understand why people keep quoting and replying to posts from over 2 years ago.

Sorry , Like i said before im getting up to date , sorry for any spam/overspam and annoy you guys , its just like im new in here im getting up to date

It seems like it could be inspired by the chapter text from LA Noire:

These are my findings ( Most of them were already posted , but i do repost them just in case )

 

Example Co.? (Example was maybe replaced for a company name? e.g= Rockstar North Co.? , but , what companys would get this "build"?)

 

Unused/Leftover of Texture/Normal Map of the Heat Haze Effect , wonder why this was keep on the files (R* Lazyness maybe?)

 

A lot of people knows this one , but never focused on the Los Santos City on the background , some buildings looks different , and Mountains looks Closer to the City

 

Already Known Agent Test Reel Texture using Manhunt's Font , no clue what would this be used for

 

Leftover of GTA IV's Leftovers

 

Unused "Waterfog" Texture , Seems to be used in a Minimap/Menu Radar , Notice it looks like for 3D Map

 

I'll keep searching for more stuff

Font looks Similar but not the same , Anyway , yeah , it seems it was inspired by L.A. Noire , Wonder if L.A. N inspired more stuff of los santos

[Spider-Vice]

A lot of that is known... Please search around, no need to add repeating things to the thread.

 

The first picture is something that would show during beta builds of the game, imagine they gave this build to Game Informer for reviewing. It would say "This build is for Game Informer" then the build date, etc.

The waterfog one seems to be some kind of texture map for the fog that appears by water in certain weather conditions.

Thanks for your Explanations , i will analyze em and i will get my conclusions

 

 

Renders from Early versions of the game , Notice Early Version of Michael's House on the Top Left

 

Beta FacAde Computers , Notice the date says 7/3/2012 , Maybe OR the computer used Real time date back when the screenshot was taken , OR that was GTA V's Date on Beta (Delayed game maybe ?,Delevopment problems?)(Most Likely not)

They're not very swift, let's just say that.

Here are some textures from the Herr Kutz barbershop:

- The VINEWOODLAND picture stands out in particular.

I was messing around with the trainer and ended up finding out a teleport location named ''boxing_club'' (in this same category there were such things as the places Chop spawns and can be taken to, etc).

boxing_club:

 

 

 

I have also found a beta/cut shop called Peckerwood (College Style).

clothes_shop4:

 

 

 

If any of this is old or wrong, just say so!

I wasn't kidding about the watermarks

Already had been found as well, but they're really interesting, some of them are from noticeably early builds of the game.

I wonder if it would be too dark and smell like sh*t cologne like in real life .

Nice Watermarks you've used, Mega.

"Vinewoodland" is a reference to "Hollywoodland", Hollywood's original name around the height of the film industry. But I guess you know or knew that already...

[Tim The Tool Bag Taylor]

 

 

 

 

GTA Wiki is full of retards. Remember the black mesa thing in the trivia for the Canis Mesa?

Wasnt the mesa thing refering to the Mesa Esque Mountains from Australia?

 

 

 

I think not.

 

I thought the "Grande" part in Mesa Grande was a reference to the vapid, pretentious, and downright annoyingly hot pop star/actor, Ariana Grande?

Courtesy for that ridiculous trivia post goes to now-blocked GTA Wiki user, Sean.drew.350i.

People can watermark any uploaded image if they want too, you have no authority over what people post on these forums unless you are a moderator or an administrator.

You need to stop with the backseat moderator routine, it's really wearing thin.

Then I guess you won't be able to see anything

Oh well, you can always check in-game anyway. you should also get your eyes checked, they're not that intrusive

I could say something similar: *an overstatement ofc just like yours*

 

"Fix you english, it's barely possible to comprehend what you are trying to "say"."

 

"what if a youtuber or anyone uses these images?"

 

That is the point of using watermarks.

 

"theyre just images."

 

They are not just images, it took time for him to find this.

It's to believe I actually don't know, this thread is huge he was one of the first who found it/pointed it out in that thread, so we gotta credit him at least for the screenshots, I guess.

 

"please remove"

 

Please write properly. /sarcasm

It's been a while since i've last posted here. Anyways... here are some small finds

 

The police cars (early 2000's models) had chrome grills? Perhaps we would have gotten a civil version? Not to mention i feel like the front looks a little different than the one we have now

 

 

 

The BF injection was clean. (probably before they had grunge implemented)

 

 

 

 

A solid black luxor

 

 

 

 

 

[B7R]

DM98x, the Solid black luxor and BF Injection images are broken (Showing up as little white squares)

[MrsRackman]

I found folder with "comedy club" interior. Can we go in?
