Obviously it's just for testing purposes, but the Arwing in Ocarina of Time is pretty neat.

Looks like the slash rod from Megaman Zero 3

>>7416095
has he not been restored? Seems unlikely that TES fans wouldn't, they're all about the cutting room floor.

>>7416095
To date, I haven't seen a cut content that made a difference in the final product.

White House mission for Deus Ex. Don't care if the devs said it was boring, they were wrong.

>>7416095
After Fallout 2's mind-numbingly boring cut content got "restored" I just decided to trust that devs cut garbage sometimes for a good reason and not all of it is a tragic case of a publisher deadline chasing downtrodden level designers with an axe at studios.

>>7418346
Which content in particular, KAGA or the Shi Huang Ti?

>>7417097
He kind of has, but in sprite form, not model form afaik

>>7418346
I mean you were a spastic for thinking that. At least you didn't completely swing the opposite way.

Tramplin' "Motherfuckin" Stu

between resident evil 2, sonic 2 and ocarina of time im torn.

i liked the settings (cold gritty police station/big factory. final game just redoes the mansion grandeur), ideas (realistic tearing of clothing/armor system/option to save partner like re1) and progression(bigger cast/going through the final section twice after destroyed) of 1.5 but with the final games quality polish and replay value(A B scenarios).

sonic 2 was gonna have a more involved star wars-like death egg, more level interaction like pulling objects/slamming into walls and the extensive time travel like CD but more story driven. also hidden palace? cmon yuji did we REALLY need hill top?

but unlike the other 2 i didnt LOVE the retail version of ocarina. it doesnt have the benefit of tons of side quests like its sequel leaving its flaws of an empty yet enclosed claustrophobic world more noticable. besides the temples it just wasnt that enjoyable. but with this zelda then you go into 2 subcatagories of the overhauling prototypes and the expanded final game with the majora's mask content on the dd.

>>7420435
Lmao. Hidden Palace was always really tantalising to me. I know we got it in the remake, but it's not 100% the same as the cut version would have been.
Have you seen the old Hyrule Fields from OoT? The first one has all this rough terrain, hills and all that. Would have been fun to ride a horse around. The final version sucks compared to both beta versions.

>>7420467
never played the sonic thing. i didnt have a smart phone at the time it came out so i waited for a console port like what happend with cd. the waiting eventually lead to resentment since it never fucking happened wtf.
i looked into the gigaleak and space world versions. its so fustrating that we have like 60% of all the environments, each since we dont have the appropriate engine, music and models. its super selfish but i wish we had a build of each of the proto eras so we could stitch together all the best elements into a fan ultimate version. the old 3d town, that field, extra magic etc.

BUMP OF LIFE

>>7418346
I wonder if there's any cut content in Fallout Tactics: BOS

https://youtu.be/gDP7UtpQ010
40% of the stuff you see in this video was cut from the final game.

>>7423634
what the fuck went wrong with this game? half the game was cut and it was released literally unfinished. did the developers just not care?

bump

OP here. Thanks for bumping the thread. This is a really interesting subject to me, but I can understand it being hard to think of good examples
>>7423634
>>7424030
Iirc they weren't given enough time to work on it. The released game is the most mid level shit ever, but maybe if it were finished it could have been decent. It was better than their previous attempt to make a Crash game at least.

Another cut dragon was this crazy think from Sonic Adventure. Apparently it's in some builds, but just turned invisible. There's a cut voice line from Tikal telling the players how to fight the ting. It has two functions which can still be seen: its flying animation and breathing fire.
Its mouth texture is in the final game as the door on the elevator leading to Eggman's base in the Mystic Ruins.

Forgot the pic. I'm retarded.

>>7425429
Hmmm... Interesting

>>7417098
How about the cut content for Fallout 1, FO2, Daggerfall, or Quake3A?

B U M P

>>7416095
Quake 2 has a lot of cut enemies.

in re1.5 every enemy had an additional feature that was removed from the final like a dog grapple attack or zombies being able to climb up and down platforms.
in the police station theres a shutter you can open and close in real time. if you time it right you can close it directly on top of a zombie, severing them in half.

>>7431852
Lots of cut enemy behaviors too.

>>7418346
What about KoToR 2? People always say to play that game with the "restoration patch" or whatever but is it worth it?

>>7431865
I wonder how of the features were just a tech demo. There must of been a reason why it was cut. I assume it tanked the performance?

>>7433019
The lost droid planet of KOTOR 2 is pretty neat, as are some other stuff, such as the cut Ebon Hawk stuff and Malachor V. However, most of the cut endings are damn cliffhangers.

>>7433045
the concept was changed to window shutters in 2 but it wasnt a real time thing. code veronica used the hallway shutter idea but it too is just a 1 time thing. you can test it out yourself with the 1.5 proto we have it works fine but i think they can grab you through the shutter if your running up against it.

As much as I love Parasite Eve, it’s basically a short tech demo for FF8. Any extra content would have helped.

>>7417098
Check out cut content for the Legacy of Kain games. There's even a whole different ending for soul reaver.

>>7433239
>>7433019
On this note, I've been playing KOTOR 1 with the restoration patch and all that I've found that it adds significantly were more animals on Dantooine. It's supposed to add a whole cut stage or something, too. Pretty underwhelming.
Makes you wonder why they cut the Iriaz in the first place, though. Makes the planet a little more lively.

American McGee's Alice had a bunch of unused enemies and NPCs that you can still spawn with the console like fish and frog soldiers and whatever this thing here is.

equip the lighter anon

the 2 stories i remember hearing about the island was that you were required to destroy the sentry gun because it would shoot down your plane when escaping since it has perfect view of runways direction. rare didnt like the idea of a mission that would span across multiple levels.
the other idea was that you needed to retrieve a briefcase in that tower which had the piton gun required to open the floor at the bottom of the bungee jump to get into facility. the briefing explains use of the piton gun and its an unfinished item in the games code. theres a pedestal at the bottom of the dam that cannot be seen otherwise and it even has textures under a bolted floor which is impossible to see without clipping.

>>7435636
i didnt make that i was lucky enough to find such a relevant gif on search.

>>7420563
There's a reverse engineering project for OoT that's ~60% done. Once that's done it should make it a lot easier for people to mash what we do have together.

>>7423634
It's been a while since I've watched these videos, but one of the directors from Traveler's Tales has a youtube channel and he's posted up these videos of content from an early prototype:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr0kGEKeXU4

He's got some great stuff from their other games too, like Sonic 3D Blast, Wrath of Cortex, Sonic R, and the Lego StarWars games:

I love when gamedevs release stuff like this. Anyone know of any other similar channels/videos?

>>7436239
This one's pretty interesting. I think before this video all we had about Dream was a screenshot or two.

L was reall

>>7433045
Why would a zombie changing its z-coordinate "tank performance"? The dog grapple I can see being removed for balance reasons and there are very few spots in RE2 you have zombies and climbable things at the same time in the first place.

>>7435156
KoToR 1&2 both have some bad stuff restored
1:adding 2 pointless floors to a biulding that were removed because they confused players. You are meant to continue on the ground floor.

2: Droid planet

>>7438217
The droid planet fucks up the pacing buy im glad it got restored, IIRC its supposed to be optional

>No Pokemon Gen 2 Original Plans
>No Pokemon Gen 1 Missing 39

What?

Cut out due to both release deadline, and cart space limitations.

>>7416095
More bonds

>>7417282
God i would love to see that location in the deus ex engine. the statue and paris streets really capture a mystical feeling version of the real places so something else hallowed like that... would feel amazing

fsda

>>7434463
do you have a link or smth? i've that sounds interesting

i'd loved to see the cut content from gothic 1. i heard a lot of stuff, not all of which i think is true, but e.g. more quests, higher guild progression (like becoming a guru), the bandit camp near the beginning having more interaction, a stone statue in the swamp, an arena quest, more weapons...
wouldn't have a significant impact on the game overall, i jst love the game and would enoy it if there was more in it
