henry_™ 191 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Well Grand Theft Auto V has a beta Hunt I feel GTA IV should as well. I will start by posting what i have found: All images above were taken from "zombie.wtd" It looks like GTA IV originally was supposed to have a zombie gamemode called "Angry & Hungry Resurrection" Next I have a old Wanted Star from the beta period of the game This is especially Interesting as you can see the wanted star is a classic Police badge in the beta. Its also strange That "Dance" is a blank, useless circle Texture and also that both are stored inside a file called: "level_design.wtd" as you can see on the top of the image. Post your findings below and Happy Hunting! 31 Link to post Share on other sites
t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m 3,906 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Here's a bunch of stuff I found in the GTA IV files a few years ago. Most of the finds are just early in-game pictures. Some vastly different, and others with just a few minor differences. 14 Link to post Share on other sites
Payne Killer 7,780 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 That revolver. 10 Link to post Share on other sites
PhillBellic 24,564 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 In the beta, police car numbers were to appear on the top of the boot/trunk rather than the LCPD text. In the 'vehicle_generic_police_livery' texture it's the large 53 in the bottom right corner. Cheers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
PowerKracker 1,176 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Some vehicle brands were different, possibly placeholders considering their rather obvious names. Dewbauchee = Asstone Vapid = Generic 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Tycek 4,555 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Asstone wouldn't be bad. 14 Link to post Share on other sites
PhillBellic 24,564 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Asstone wouldn't be bad. Given that the Dewbauchee Super GT is based on the Aston Martin DB9 it would have been an apt name. Thoughts? Cheers. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Darth_Starkiller 448 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I prefer it over Dewbawchee. The latter doesn't roll of the tongue very easily. By the way, that zombie thing is a cut minigame called Z Ressurection. It is interesting to note, though, that the revolver was supposed to be in game but cut. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m 3,906 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) That revolver. (From GTA IV Artbook) Notable stuff: Early fire engine; Parking garage is unfinished; Signage has since been moved; No burnt corpse texture(Woman on bottom left is on fire). Early Soldier's Plaza.

Kampret 2,103 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Great findings you all have, I'm looking forward to see more pictures. OT: Anyone got an in-game picture of the beta Alderney map (the one with the excess land on the north-west)? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
PhillBellic 24,564 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Guys, there is some great information regarding beta IV here; http://tcrf.net/Grand_Theft_Auto_IV_%28Windows%29 Cheers. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Koger 691 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I found something rather interesting in the audio files. Something along these lines : DEATH_1 to DEATH_6 , CUTSCENE_LOADING_MUSIC , DEATH_MUSIC. I think those aren't used in the game. I would post the audio files but since I'm new here I don't really know how. If someone could tell me how to do that I'd gladly post these. Link to post Share on other sites

The 'CUTSCENE_LOADING_MUSIC' and 'DEATH_MUSIC' files were possibly intended to be used in situations where the game was not loading properly or slowly to give the player an indication that the game was still running. What do you think? Cheers. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m 3,906 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Great findings you all have, I'm looking forward to see more pictures. OT: Anyone got an in-game picture of the beta Alderney map (the one with the excess land on the north-west)? This image can be found on an in-game phone directory. You can supposedly see this strip of land on a calendar in TBoGT, though I haven't been able to find the texture for it. If you watch "A History of Liberty City" on the in-game TV, you can see some pine trees, which I don't recall being in the game. As some of you know, barbershops were cut early on. I managed to find another remnant of the barbershop. Watch the commercial for "America's Next Top Hooker" on CNT. At one point, you can see a building with (what I assume is) the word "Barbers" that has an interior. ( ) Correct me if I'm wrong on any of this stuff, because unfortunately, I don't have access to my copy of GTA IV anymore. 22 Link to post Share on other sites

Niko Montana 2,019 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Originally when u would pick up body armour, It would physically be seen on Niko. I seen a pic of it but since i am on my phone i cant put it up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
B Dawg 10,323 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Asstone wouldn't be bad. Given that the Dewbauchee Super GT is based on the Aston Martin DB9 it would have been an apt name. Thoughts? Cheers. Funny and fitting at the same time Link to post Share on other sites
Darth_Starkiller 448 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 That ped isn't in the game, right? It looks like the fat hooker, but she wears much more clothes in game. Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers. i think it was an early mr tasty Not too sure but I assume that's the Beta Police Boxville. It does indeed look like an early version of the Boxville. I'm not sure if it's one of those variants though, it could just as easily be an ordinary (beta) Boxville. Edited September 16, 2014 by TalkingPear 1 Link to post Share on other sites
