GTA III Beta CD Found ?!

[Sidaredd]

I was just looking at a Turkish game magazine named LEVEL from April 2001 and I saw a page about GTA III, when I started to read the first I noticed was they wrote they have recieved a CD named Grand Theft Auto III Demo in April. I think this could be the beta we were looking for. I will post more details soon.

[Sidaredd]

Some information after I have read the page.

 

1- Before starting the game, we could name our character.

 

2- Despite they say only %40 of game has finished, it seems like missions at least until Marked Man has done.

 

3- Main story described as climbing up the Mafia stairs and making the number one badass. It seems kinda weird.

 

4- Its also noted that game is 16+ while its 18+ at release I remember

 

5- It mentions about 9 weapons; baseball bat, machine gun, uzi, shotgun, molotov cocktail, bomb, sniper, rocket launcher and flamethrower. 

 

6- There are total 45 vehicles.

 

7- There are 4 different weather that mentioned; sunny, foggy, steamy ??? and rainy.

 

8- There are radio stations that play country, hip-hop, techno and rock.

 

9- Unfortunately all screenshots of magazine has taken from IGN.

 

I will post the photo of pages soon.

What does me asking about the connection between my post and some sh*tty punk band have to do with some construction company

It's been pretty well documented that Rockstar works on the city before the story. I doubt they seriously started scripting story missions until the game was pretty solid, like 70 or 80%. I think OP is playing silly billies.

I think this too. If it were legit, he would've posted it already.

Why would someone play silly billies for an 18 year old game though? It's not like it's gTa SiX cOnFIrmEd.

because there is a large sub-community within the GTA franchise dedicated to the beta versions of said games that would go nuts for this sort of thing?

Is it "that" large though?

Relative to other games yes. Obviously I can't get into the exact numbers of how big it is given how it's not likely there's ever been anyone documenting it. Judging by the views a GTASeriesVideo beta video gets (200,000-5,000,000 views depending on the subject) or Vadim M, a prominent beta hunter, gets (anywhere from 100k-1 mil possibly higher, I only had a quick glance) it's safe to say there's a lot of people interested in this sort of stuff and all it takes is one person out of a million to say "What if I made something up, that'll get people fired up". 

 

Not saying OP is lying or anything but the possibility is always there. You shouldn't blindly believe something just because it's a niche topic.

any updates?

[SeanAlgerian]

I bet it's fake lol. It's like Sernandoe giving info about GTA 6 dvd/cd but doesn't show the gameplay or proof, here we have a guy who also gives info about GTA 3 beta cd but don't show proof or pictures.

[Sidaredd]

Ok guys, I am back and gonna post the screenshots tomorrow. Who says this is fake will gonna see they are wrong.

What’re you developing the pictures by hand? Post them already.

[Guest]

Consider the fact some people have other obligations than dedicating their time to a niche section of a forum, may not have the technological capabilities you do and so forth. While I don't know Sidaredd all too well I've spoke to him briefly here and there on Discord and I highly doubt he'd be bullsh*tting about something that appeals to a small fraction of the fanbase of an 18 year old game

Exactly what I was thinking, fabricated photos. The real proof is just to give us the link.

[Sidaredd]

Quality of photos decrased while uploading but part about demo cd is still visible.

 

This is page 1

This is page 2

And the part about that CD !

[Rikka]

Why haven't you posted the scans themself instead of phone screenshots? And well, they had the CD in April 2001, 18 years ago, it can be long gone.
