There was a Beta of this game (Gangsters 2: Vendetta)

Even a few screenshots, with obvious differences (in the direction of a greater study of game mechanics) from the regular version of the game. It's funny, but it proves that even in the 2000s, game is already castrated.
1)Castrated newspaper, it was the diplomacy tab, and graphics (which in the final version, cut)
Apparently, the bosses could agree.
2)Castrated law-enforcement system in the game. There were raids darkness in the relevant section of the newspaper, as well as a bunch of wanted criminals from different gangs in the Most Wanted section. On screen can be judged that nepristupnaya the police were such a Greyhound that is zoomed in on the illegal businesses are not giving their normal conduct, and the gangsters all the gangs were arrested so the fur coat wrapped. In such hands worked and the judge and the Prosecutor and the warden, who in the final game figures nominal.
In the final version everything is removed. If you try even force to provoke the crime of enemy bandits, the leaders for it will not go to jail. Not to mention the fact that in the final version of the police led initiative in relation to the enemy NPC and such a rapid investigation in the screenshots is definitely not led (I tried to provoke them, but there are only miserable scraps)
3) the game Interface was better, it was more cartoon characters, icons were painted differently, more people walked the streets.
4)the map Interface and the menu of the buildings were still unfinished.
5)Any pers could kidnaping to spy, it was not appropriate to individual skills. That is, it was possible to take from the first round to begin to kidnap important people in the city.
A bunch of screenshots from a parallel past










Apparently it's screenshots of what anisovogo roller Studio, which to our days has not been preserved.
I don't know why they took it away, but I would be really interested to play this beta version. Possible degree of freedom of action, it was closer to the first game. Perhaps the abundance of these chips led to the Bahamas. Perhaps the imbalance in style and make up with the boss and kill him secretly, and perhaps to an imbalance in which the main enemy boss jailed for his crimes and his murder begins to play with new colors. But the fact that we'll never know.
Such is necropost.
