Re: Re: What about previews that look different from the final game?
Quote:
As The Wolf was saying, there are all sorts of reasons mid-development why graphical changes would occur. I seem to recall in The One's preview of Ocean's Kid Vicious for example they changed the main game sprite because it was felt the original main character wasn't thought appealing enough. I think Frank Gasking's C64 GTW site,points towards other interesting instances-for instance I was stunned to learn that a completely different conversion of R-type was being worked on prior to the Factor 5/Menfred Trenz/Rainbow Arts Katakis legal settlement with Activision,(That they would code the R-type computer versions instead). That said,I also get curious about gameplay aspects that were altered/dropped/changed. For instance early days in Uridium 2 Andy Braybrook had a completely different idea for destroying the reactor after you landed,(Mock up's showed a top-down view & a Paradroid style game style). And of course he'd also had been working on a dual-playfied,less colourful main game version which lasted a couple of Dev diary issues,(before returning to the 32 colour version that featured in the finished game.) I also recall Martyn Brown's intial Alien Breed 2 diarys mentioning, something about a sprite playfield(?) idea for the A1200 version, but the idea was dropped for technical reasons.

Does aanybody know if Psygnosis ever released their "Operation G2" commercially? I had the AF coverdisk demo, but never found the full game. Sorry if this is slightly off topic.

It didn't get released. Make a search on the bolard, FromWithin has confirmed this in a thread about this game.

JudasEZT,
stop writing this kind of things, and start to scan everything you think could be an unreleased game (use HOL if you are not sure!) for aGTW. We need your work and your time!!! |

What about that hollywood monsters crap? I can't remember the name of it, but it was a big company behind it. A demo was given away on a coverdisc, but the game was never released as I recall.

That's the one. I remember it being crap, but I may very well be wrong.
Wasn't there another? Dracula or something? My memory is very poor. What about a superheros game? I distinctly remember something about a game in which you had to make your own superheros or something, and it got cancelled... |
