i dont think it was cut. they purposely edit the video in a way so that you think sp has buyable houses when in reality those are online properties

 

The apartment in the video wasn't even purchasable online though, or was it?

Not in that specific location iirc

 

Also, just as an interesting aside, I came across the Max Payne 3 environment artist's portfolio and the extremist's apartment looks a lot more hip and modern than it is in the final game. Even if this sounds like some weirdo conspiracy or grasping at straws, I feel like this was a dry run for what would eventually become Lester's House in V. It def has that sort of vibe to it

For whatever reason Compact EMP Launcher has unused tints in it's palette texture - who knows what they are doing here, maybe they're earlier versions of the ones they went with for final product? That doesn't explain the last cyan tints though.

 

All unused tints ingame. I dig the last one a lot.

 

 

As a weird bonus fact, for some reason there's (empty on PC like anything else) compact emp launcher files inside mp9gec dlc pack, were they planning to make it exclusive to nextgen and instead they released it with Contract update for free, or did they plan to have additional tints exclusive for GTA+ members? A true mystery.

^ No idea why you originally posted that in the GTA VI map discussion, it's clearly an early version of GTA V's Mirror Park and the look of whatever build that is matches the look of other early dev images posted in this thread. Moved here.

I'm sorry. Apparently I have become quite clumsy.

weaponarchetypes.meta from recent DLC says that micro smg camo is supposed to be a juggalo themed skin, but instead ingame it's a camo

				<!-- Micro SMG - Juggalo Themed Skin -->

	<Item>
		<modelName>W_SB_MicroSMG_XM3</modelName>
		<txdName>W_SB_MicroSMG_XM3</txdName>
		<ptfxAssetName>null</ptfxAssetName>
		<lodDist value="50"/>
	</Item>

It's possible it might have been a copy of the new pump shotgun skin which is more fitting this name, but for Micro SMG instead, worth to note the shotgun skin is also labeled in such way

Hey there!

Off-topic, but how can I get the camo skin for the Micro SMG? Can't find it anywhere and just saw it in an artwork for the Drug Wars DLC

Thanks!

I know beta/early versions of ingame cartoons is probably insignificant but this early version of Gordon Moorhead & friends might interest someone

Hey does anybody have the picture which showed a park area with the Gta V logo on? It looked super early on. I've spent way too much time looking for it.

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately this isn't the picture I was referencing. I wanna say it came from a developer's portfolio it sort of looked like gta 4. You make a great point though, Gta 6 looked great from certain parts of the leaked footage, here's hoping we here something soon. Thanks again for responding to my random ass question lol.

Iconic screenshots.

[HeySlickThatsMe]

Rockstar cut 33 hand rings in total from both Ill Gotten Gains DLC's, i always remembered browsing through the DLC Packs on PC version and found bunch of 1kb teef files, it looks like the models are still present on xbox360 version of the game.

I won't be showing all of them but here's a handful, each model has three types - left hand, right hand and both hands + sometimes additional color variants:

Spoiler

 

//Edit what the f*ck - the first part of the DLC has Heavy Rifle weapon animations on xbox 360!

[email protected]@[email protected]
[email protected]@[email protected]_str.xcd
[email protected]@[email protected]@heavy.xcd

Is there anybody here that has a modded xbox or can emulate the game and find some sort of trainer that can play animations by inputting the name manually? One of anim names is reload_aim in the _str dictionary

 

//edit Thanks to @Tervel1337 we now have a video of the early Heavy Rifle reload anim!

Awesome stuff. Even loading the unused heavy rifle too!

[DeZScoTs13]

Heyslickthatsme are you able to get into the 360 files for openiv? If so could you tell me how because it’s not working. And have you ever looked for beta character models like Michael head or clothes?

I don't have all the files, and you won't be able to find stuff like this there
