Searching For Evidence of Hidden Things

[BisharpVercetti]

Look what I found somewhere else, a thought of dart_test:

And another interesting one for a demo rally test track:

Also:

North America?
And finally, I don't know if we have gone over this yet, a list with some removed tracks:

Palm Strip - We went over this many times
Eiger Path - My opinion is that Eiger path is Grindelwald, mainly because it is not on this image from a magazine I think, and that Eiger is only a few miles away from Grindelwald, according to Gran Turismo wikipedia page: http://gran-turismo.wikia.com/wiki/Grindelwald .

[Epic B]

They misspelled it! It's Plam Strip! PLAM STRIP!

 

[Roger the Horse]

PLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMM SSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPP!!! ahem.

 

[BisharpVercetti]

The game developers actually misspelled it...

 

[Sonygamer455]

Is that the dart test map at the top Bisharp?!?!

 

[BisharpVercetti]

Yes. I found it while randomly searching

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Interesting, a couple of unused maps. About "Plam Strip"; I'm not surprised about that at all. I mean, the first version of GT2 had so many typos that it wasn't even funny.

 

[TrdFan3000]

About the Mclaren F1: There is a placeholder or something? A file from it? A image?

 

[BisharpVercetti]

nah. Nothing about the McLaren, except for a cover image (The one with a car speeding on a tunnel)

To find out about that, you would need probably an early GT2 demo to extract files from.

 

[BisharpVercetti]

Look over here:

 

[Xenn]

That's a very early looking Red Rock Valley there...or is that High Speed Ring?

The physics look very unfinished too, the car's are wobbling all over the place.

 

[BisharpVercetti]

Red Rock Valley it is. And yes the car wobbles a lot, and the camera is like stuck behind the car.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Wow that's really something! I wonder if there are any video's of the CLK-GTR in action anywhere?

 

[BisharpVercetti]

Well there may be some CDs or something somewhere in the universe!

^ Way, wha!? ANOTHER >MISSING< TRACK!?

 

[BisharpVercetti]

Why not?

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

^ Because I have to add it on my list!

 

[Pupik]

I noticed Pikes Peak is missing from that list. While it's entirely subjective, I don't find Seattle Circuit to be one of the three most difficult tracks in the game.

I guess if I was hairing the engine sounds a little more, maybe...

 

[Sonygamer455]

I noticed Pikes Peak is missing from that list.

They probably weren't planning on using it at first.

 

[BisharpVercetti]

So that was all? Now we have to wait until we find an E3 demo or something....

 

[BisharpVercetti]

This:

 

[TrdFan3000]

So, there was a E3 disc?

 

[Castrol96]

Hah , watching this in a e3. Compared to now

 

[BisharpVercetti]

So, there was a E3 disc?

Probably! And it is somewhere in Earth!

 

[GTvsForza]

Just so I can be useful, I found an early version of a Data Transfer menu

Also, in a demo version of GT2, the Plymouth and Mazda logos were different from the final.

PLYMOUTH (Demo / Final)

MAZDA (Demo / Final)

This:

The following lists my reactions on the above vid:

0:08 - That is NOT Kaz. NOT Kaz. The cars look pretty good but the track looks unpolished. I think it's Rome...

0:20 - Is that Seattle? Oh, my, my! It looks like a pre-pre-alpha version of GT2... And the velocimeter has a DERP expression on it.

0:35 - That's not Rome, that looks more like, you know, a silly version of Madrid (not the GT5 track, tho).

0:39 - Whoops, my bad.

0:41 - Velocimeter back to normal, perhaps a more advanced copy of GT2. Tahiti is also very normal.

0:50 - Laguna Seca and the return of the DERP velocimeter.

1:01 - I don't believe they went to Laguna Seca (well, okay, GT2 used the PSX's full capacities - but still...). I just don't think that's Laguna Seca, I think about something else, less "vivid".

1:17 - Clearly, the physics were also undeveloped, because I've never seen anyone drift the Corkscrew so easily, and I'm a fan of drifting in all GT games.

1:25 - A great vid, with lots of new info about this game everyone loved. Perhaps if we could get our hands in this "pre-pre-alpha" disc, we could look at tracks no one knew that existed.

 

[BisharpVercetti]

0:50 Laguna Seca is also mentioned as Dirt track

^ I would think thats a good thing on the Drift option on the Arcade Mode!
