ClaudX Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Here you will find a collection and discussion of beta elements from Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. Many aspects of the games went through change, ranging from the protagonist to the vehicles found inside the game. A great deal of thanks goes to the members of this community for being continuously being involved in this hunt. Much of this information was found and analyzed by them and this thread would not exist without their efforts. Headers courtesy of @Graven. Radar icon for a cut mission for Phil Cassidy, or the early icon for his gun shop. (Contributed by WildBrick142)An unused phone icon for either Salvatore's phone missions or for cut assassination missions. (Contributed by WildBrick142)Unused icons for properties, meaning that at one point the player could purchase properties. (Contributed by WildBrick142) ST_ASSI:Assasination contracts complete A string of text showing that assassination contracts were to return from Vice City. TURTXT:Mobile Massacre! A string of text, possibly from a cut RC mission. TURPASS:~W~Massacre Passed! A string of text showing something called "Massacres", although it could be a different name for Rampages, it could've been something entirely different. AEROPL: Aeroplane There is a string of text for entering a plane, meaning that planes were once flyable and included in-game. (Contributed by WildBrick142) BHLPOS: Best helicopter race positionFSTHRT: Fastest helicopter race time Text strings show that there were originally flyable helicopters, along with helicopter races. (Contributed by WildBrick142) FTFRENZ: Firetruck Frenzy A string showing a cut feature, Firetruck Frenzy. Possibly a cut sidejob or some type of Rampage. (Contributed by WildBrick142) FEC_CRO: Crouch A text string revealing that you could originally crouch. (Contributed by WildBrick142) PANCAK: PANCAKED! Possibly an alternate "Wasted" for when the player got ran over. (Contributed by WildBrick142) SOAKED: SOAKED! Possibly another alternate "Wasted", but for when the player drowned. (Contributed by WildBrick142) FEST_LF: Longest flight in Dodo A string showing that the Dodo was once flyable. (Contributed by WildBrick142) Excuse the mess. Under Construction.

WildBrick142 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Some icons found in game.dtzradar_philphoneradar_propertyRpropertyWhat's making me wonder is that they are all LCS style so that means that properties were planned at some point, Phil had a mission (or was the original icon for his Fully Cocked Gun Shop) and the phone was either original Sal icon (for Staunton Phone Booth missions) or it was the icon for Mobile Massacre (see below)I've also lurked through american.gxt ENGLISH.gxt and found some interesting stuff like massacres, beta cars, etc. Will post it a bit later.MPSURV SAL01: ~w~Maria, I'm going up to the hospital to get 'you-know-what' fixed.SAL02: ~w~When I get out, the pork stallion will be galloping just like it used to...SAL03: ~w~You just stay out of trouble while I'm in 'cause there's gonna be wise-guys dying to take over.SAL03A: ~w~Literally!SAL04: ~w~PS: Get ready to saddle up when I get out, baby!SAL05: ~w~PPS: ...Don't leave this note just lying around! Unknown letter - I never heard or saw it in gameMAIN AEROPL: Aeroplane You can't fly planes so why is there a GXT string for entering the plane? A_TALK1: ~w~I got all your home defense needs.A_TALK2: ~w~You want a license too?A_TALK3: ~w~I don't need to see any I.D. you look trustworthy.A_TALK4: ~w~You're welcome to try out the range round the back. Never heard this in Ammu-Nation. BARRACK: Barracks OLBARRCKS: Barracks OL Unsure about this but there is only one Barracks OL as far as I know BHLPOS: Best helicopter race positionFSTHRT: Fastest helicopter race time No need to explain. Maybe that's why LCS has helicopters (and Dodo) made in LCS style and graphics? BULL: Bullion The infamous "Bullion" car. Read description A bunch of Debug Menu model viewer. Not really beta but worth sharing. (there are also peds) CYCLONE: Cyclone GT Cyclone GT car. ESPIRIT: V8 Ghost Could that be the beta name? EVID: Evidence Mysterious Evidence car. Either that or a random prop that got mistaken as a vehicle. FEC_CRO: Crouch Crouching? FEF_LA1: What you talking about willis?FEF_LA2: Choose your preferred parlanceFEF_SA1: Keep your place in the pile!FEF_SA2: Save and load your gamesFEF_ST1: Who's the bad man?FEF_ST2: How much havoc have you caused No idea whatsoever. FEH_MP: MULTIPLAYER Nothing unusual but I found this in PS2 version and there is no MP IIRC. Could be just PSP leftover but gonna drop this anyway. FORELLI: Forelli ExSess Nothing beta about this but just posting that people think that it's called "Forelli Exsess" but really it is "Forelli ExSess". FTFRENZ: Firetruck Frenzy Cut mission/odd job/rampage/massacre? GHOST: Ghost Ghost (missing) boat in case you're wondering (It exist in game and is functional. A bit glitched and you can't turn IIRC). GORLEV: Gore Level No idea. HELI: Helicopter Also known as tiny invisible heli. It's the Police Maverick that chases at 3 stars. Invisible when spawned, visible when taken to Pay 'n Spray but with no rotors or tail (More) HELPE31: ~w~New outfits become available to the player during the game, and must be collected from Mr. Benz. NEVER saw, heard or did that in the game. HJBAD: ~w~Terrible landing - you almost won $~1~! Never saw this type of Insane Stunt Bonus. HM1_1: ~g~Ice 20 Purple Nines in 2 minutes 30 seconds.HM2_1: Use the RC buggies to destroy the armored cars. Press~h~ ~k~ ~VEWEP~ ~w~to detonate.HM2_1A: Use the RC buggies to destroy the armored cars. Press~h~ ~k~ ~VEWEP~ ~w~to detonate.HM2_2: ~r~You failed to destroy all the armored cars!HM2_6: ~g~Armored Car destroyed! My money's on GTA III leftovers KE_KILF: Kill Frenzy wat MCLARN: Lancer MF1 Lancer MF1 cut car MINI: Tommy Tommy cut car. MMRAIN: Mm rain fallen I don't know and I can't explain this. PANCAK: PANCAKED! Death message when ran over? Toni was a chef? We'll never know. PANLANT: Panlantic Panlantic van we saw in III and never saw in LCS. It's in game, fully functional but doesn't spawn anywhere at all. SKYLINE: Skoiloine Skoiloine cut car SOAKED: SOAKED! Death message when drowning? Toni could participate in water gun fights? We'll never know. ST_ASSI: Assassination contracts completed Assasinations? SUBARU: Impreza WRX A car that must have been cut very early. SUPRA: Supra Like above. Or just Jester. TURPASS: ~w~Massacre Passed!TURTXT: Mobile Massacre! Massacres that I was talking about. And that's all. It was in PS2 "ENGLISH.gxt". Didn't check PSP... yet. FEST_LF: Longest flight in Dodo You could fly a Dodo? DED_DED: Deadbeats wastedDED_HOK: Hookers wasted Separate Stats for deadbeats and hookers? CAR_39: Buggy A cut vehcle from III. Could this have been cut from LCS as well or is just a leftover? This are the things I found in PSP version but since PSP and PS2 have the same ENGLISH.gxt, I'm sure these things I have just missed. Unknown News Reports Roger C. Hole had a suit texture and model. It is never seen in game. Ruger Texture By the way, the Tear Gas is fully functional but causes the game to lag when smoke comes out.

These are leftovers from GTA III, when you enter the Ammunation in III, the shopkeeper will say these, but I don't think he does on LCS, and I don't think there were subtitles for these in III too.

Jinx. Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Does there were Yardies in Portland in BETA? The screen that XEPO posted makes me curious: Wasn't that Yardie Lobo in back of Toni? It seems that he didn't killed JD here (It's Luigi's Sex Club after) and it changes before opening the second island. So this proves that Yardies were in Beta, like in current GTA Advance.

gamerzworld Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) A few years ago I acquired a booklet containing a number of magazine scans that Rockstar sent out to GameStop managers promoting LCS. Perhaps they can be of some use? I still have the original booklet somewhere at my house -- if anyone finds something interesting or just wants me to get a better scan let me know.

WildBrick142 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Trees were different "Lionel" was originally black Sicilians drive light blue/grayish Stingers, not yellow as on this pre-release screenshot This never happens. Morgue Party Resurrection comes to my mind but he was wearing hobo clothes, not suit. This is taken during Hot Wheels mission (Hint: Arrow). How the hell did Toni get M4 at that point? Did R* cheat or glitch for screenshots? Maria Mission. Toni is wearing "Wiseguy" outfit. Wiseguy is unlocked after "Shoot The Messenger" all the way over at Staunton Island. Once again, Wiseguy outfit in begginning of the game. And like, before completing Vincenzo Missions. Loooots of camera film. 'Lionel' before even unlocking Staunton Island Again, Wiseguy. Never saw this ped No such paintjobs (Manana, Yankee) and Forelli Exsess is black for some reason. No such painjob on Stinger, the bike is very early version copy-pasted from VC Edited April 6, 2014 by WildBrick142 Sunglasses, Zeberpal, DeltaV20 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Starkiller Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) These Massacres were likely similar to the GTA III's Diablo Destruction/Mafia Massacre/Casino Calamity/Rumpo Rampage, and the one in LSC where you kill triads with the RC car. And it seems that the Dodo was going to be like GTA III. Gore level is likely similar to GTA III, where in PC version you could blow off legs and arms (very satisfying explosions). Kill Frenzies were the GTA 2 Rampages, and considering how old it is, likely a leftover of a leftover of III. And there are some clothes that need to be collected from Mr. Benz in some missions (I think Tuxedo and Lionel are some examples). However, it seems that in the beta, instead of finishing missions and immediately having the clothes delivered to your safehouse, you would have to unlock them by going to Mr. Benz.
