The GTA V beta hunt

[CarsonGT]

Here is another example of the cut checkpoint reached bar from the beta:

Rockstar should have definitely kept it in, IMO.

 

 

 

I always like those Strategy books on games, because they always contain early screens. Mostly, these Strategy Guides have preview builds from games that are about 3-2 months before release. So this screenshot is most likely from a build dated back to July 2013...And it would be helpful, but, eh..i can see why they would remove that.

It would be around the time of the Gameplay Trailer. Those guides always have something different from the final. Not any large things, mostly just small things.

There are also screenshots with the beta stat bar (stealth, shooting etc.)

mrbossftw used my pic but cropped my watermark out smh

 

 

 

 

That's why you do what TrustedInstaller did with the Lester's Clothes Factory Texture that he Posted above.

The model also has glasses as a component:

 

Seems like he won't be needing those glasses anymore. His nearsightedness is corrected.

 

*ba dum tss*

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll see myself out.

Yes. Please see yourself out.

Rockstar added yet another team to the Adversary color palette.

 

Purple, it's on the unused clothing items aswell.

[Spider-Vice]

The "Checkpoint reached" thing sounds like some kind of development build indication for developers for me, for some reason. Also, the screen is probably quite earlier than July 2013, strategy guides probably start production much before release, not only a couple of months.

Purple Team color was always there.

 

Also, the new Sumo Adversary Mode is using the helmets. So now that leaves the military caps and gun range glasses unused.

found this sports shirt for the upcoming Inch by Inch Adversary Mode. This one also has 10 colors, same ones as the Drop Zone clothes.

Oi wildbrick or someone, can you fill us in on this?

Unused Icons: Self-explanatory. I think the football shaped icon will be for Inch by Inch, and iirc the wolf head is from Hunt the Beast/Beast vs Slasher.

Vehicles: Zentorno has a fixed front (it's now symmetrical), Rocoto has fixed trim (now looks normal). Dunno about the rest. Sultan RS had a misaligned spoiler last I remember, maybe that was fixed.

Texture for ants: No idea. Magnified it in Photoshop, could only see a bunch of gray dots.

Build text: Self-explanatory. Just a notice for testers/devs so they don't push an unfinished update by accident or to display pre-release builds to reviewers.

[Spider-Vice]

Interesting, that build HUD element had already been found before, but one so recent is seriously interesting. I think that was around the time the "externalbuilds" branch appeared on SteamDB.

[Officer Garza]

So is having a variant of a model called a component or something else? A hat could spawn on a police officer or glasses, like this?

 

Off topic, I know.

 

On topic.

 

Any beta models of police officers?

But have they done that to other smaller updates? I think it's for something big.

[BS_BlackScout]

Yesterday and Today, both me and Mega have decided to look into Xbox 360 files, we've found some good stuff. We also took a look into some PC files.

 

It seems there is a hidden Food Shelf for probably, a cut Burguer Shot interior

 

 

 

Present on both PC and 360

________________________________________

 

I also have looked into some startup.gfx files and introscrn.gfx files with FFDec, SWF Editor...

 

I have found 3 "V" Sprites, I don't know what they are meant to represent, but it's cool

 

 

 

 

There was an animation for them, cycling

 

 

 

 

Some extra ponsonbys stuff, shop_menu.gfx

 

 

 

 

A piece of sh*t, I don't remember where I found that one

Looking in phone stuff I found ammunation pic and others

 

 

 

 

hudold.txd has IV's HUD

 

 

 

 

Beta screens?

 

 

 

 

Internal Development Graphs and Data (Old I guess)

Found a Burger Shot leftover in the files of the Stadium used for Fame or Shame.

v_62_bs_kiosk_002.ydr

 

 

A ridiculously HD book cover with a pic taken probably ages ago.

 

 

And I decided to start searching the files of the last gen version to see if I could find anything missing on PC, turns out I did!

prop_car_ignition.xdr (maybe like that Chinatown Wars minigame? )

 

 

prop_busker_hat_01.xdr

 

 

prop_smg_holster_01.xdr

 

 

Barber Shop seems to have a few more textures on last gen!

Most likely beta picture in a cigarette machine (textured changed on PC to this)

Hobo Sign from Trailer 1 was actually upgraded in quality just for the trailer. 360 uses a lower res than Trailer 1, PC has HD version.

 

 

 

A weird icon I found.

 

 

 

 

And, lastly (for now), a debug map.

 

Thanks to TrustedInstaller for the watermarks!

Wasn't the SMG holster used in one of the rampages with Trevor?

Different/Beta/Unfinished model, I think. Here's the rampage one.

 

 

Polycount of Cutscene Model:

Untextured one I found:

This one is used as default pic for GTAO jobs.

worth to mention that character already has this holster on himself so it isn't needed to like attach it in cutscene

so all rumors with it being in rampage mission aren't true

[PJR_4015]

That icon depicting a piece of sh*t looks like the sh*tzu logo (a GTA-universe vehicle manifacturer). There are some diffrences between the two icons however.

Not really. In order to release an update, you have to test it. Rockstar has internal builds for testing and developing (of course), and they probably have that watermark to signal they're development builds. They just left it behind is my guess.

Is there any unused dialogue in the 360 files? for like cut missions and possible cut vendors?

What a bummer that they cut Burger Shot

There is cut dialogue for M, T and F commenting about the hotdog they just ate. There's a mod to restore that.

That person appears to be an older Woman.

 

[Agem]

Turns out I was quite wrong. Burger Shot is actually in the game, used in the Fame or Shame stadium interior, although it's closed down, I managed to take some good pictures of it and do some tricks with OpenCamera to get some inside shots.

Inside:

 

 

 

Sorry about that, guys

 

EDIT: Reuploaded with watermarks, thanks again to TrustedInstaller.
