Grab it here before you know who nukes it:

Main Notes:

* Starting screens are different, showing logos for Midway and Visual Concepts beforehand (both not animated)

* Then the trademarks, disclaimers screen displays, which itself is different

* There is no intro FMV, it goes straight to the main menu

* Different main menu, where the WIP title of Hardwood Heroes is shown.

* Quieter crowd, no commentary during matches. Also no introductory music for the players

Can you explain that makes sense?

 

Because i haven't able to download it and would be more nice if you show us in this forum instead.

Thanks for this. Shame it's missing the debug symbols, those would be really handy.

 

None of the PC GTA2 editors work on the PS1 file formats, hopefully someone can figure out the slight format differences and update the editors one day.

 

The game text formats FXT/GXT should be the easiest to figure out. Here's an fxt file from the prototype: https://gtamp.com/GTA2/BIL.FXT

One thing i immediately noticed that unlike in the final version, you actually see the bald tutorial guy in front of the church as a ped. If you punch him, you get unique dialogue too. Strange change.

By the way have you more screenshoots or artworks from this prototype?

Me? I ain't got none more. I mean you can just download the prototype and play it on an emulator yourself.
