Secrets of the alpha / beta version of GTA: VCS (Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories)
This is a topic for discussion about what is known about early versions of VCSHere's what was in the early VCS and did not make it into the final version:
-Hairdressers and tattoo parlors (like those in San Andreas);
-game boss Leo Till from Vice City (cut out his missions; it is known that Leo Till himself had to issue them).
That's all for now.
People who have a ps2 image of Stories - check what is left in the game resources. PS2 only! Not psp.

And the admin is an Ostashkovite)
On the subject: I found Tony from LCS in the resources.
Cut Transport:
FBI Rancher,
VCN Maverick.
True, they can be called using the VCS CheatDevice.
Carved Vehicles
• FBI Rancher
• VCN Maverick
• VCPD Maverick (2) green
Carved Weapons
• Mines
• TearGas
TearGas
Kindly remind me what is this? If these are "smoke grenades" (which we see in Vice City), then I hasten to please that they were not even there initially.
Carved out vehicle:
Spoiler Ambassador R12; a boat cut from the game, which was listed in the game manual, but had an image of the Speeder boat. The original design of the boat is unknown.
Kuruma is a sedan from GTA III and GTA LCS.
Unknown motorcycle R12; presumably a variant of the Streetfighter or PCJ-600 motorcycle.
Top Fun is not available in the game, although its files can be found in in-game resources. If you spawn it using the Cheat Device, the game will freeze.
Characters:
Spoiler Brian Forbes wore a mustache. There is no mustache in the final version.
Cut Missions:
Spoiler Based on early previews, a mission was planned in which Brian and Victor were attacked by the Mendes cartel.
In the mission Last Stand, Victor Vance was supposed to kill only Armando Mendes. In the final version, he (Vic) kills Diego Mendes and Jerry Martinez.
In the pre-release version of the game in the Jive Drive mission, the Vance brothers did not ride in a red Stinger, but in a beige Stallion.
There is no such water in the release version of the game.
Stinger wheels are not the same as in the original.
In beta, the business type icons were white, and in the release version they were pink.
There is no such helicopter in the game.
In the beta version of the mission "From Zero To Hero," Vic and Lance were not driving green trucks, but black ones with different wheels.
Clothing:
Spoiler The Wetsuit was not yellow, but sky blue.
Casual Outfit included a shirt not blue, but yellow.
The property:
Spoiler Based on the pre-release screenshot, Ionic Real Estate was called Mpirian Real Estate:

An unused message from Phil to Vic's pager:
Phil: Thanks for looking after Louise, man. I appreciate it. Any time I can help - just call ...
Vic Vance is a completely different person in beta.
Namely: another face, a tattoo on the arm, another inscription on the shirt.
Barracks building inscription:
Judging by the unused text, all factions had their own system of business empires:
PR_GAN1: Umberto's Guys
PR_GAN2: Cholos
PR_GAN3: Sharks
PR_GAN4: Army
PR_GAN5: Security
PR_GAN6: Bikers
PR_GAN7: Vance
PR_10GAN8:
PR_GAN7: Vance
PR_10GAN8: PR_GAN7: Vance PR_10GAN8: Marty's
Umberto's Guys, Army, Security and Golfer don't have systems.
Why is Vance mentioned twice?
It is possible that in this place Leo Teal was supposed to issue tasks to Vic:
Scans from the manual for the game:
The mission marker was yellow, not pink:
And the building entrance marker was yellow, not turquoise:
Cholo Saber was gray:
"Mission passed!" was yellow (as in the previous game in the series - Liberty City Stories):
Pitts (biplane aircraft in beta):
Tropic was called Tropico:
Violator was called Scarab:
Skorpion Vz.61 was called Venom 9mm:
The Python was called .357 :
Continuation:
Proof that Leo Teal was not only cut, but also gave Vick tasks:
LEO_C01: REMOVED
LEO_C02: REMOVED
LEO_C03: REMOVED
LEO_C04: REMOVED
LEO_C05: REMOVED
Louise had black hair and a different face :
On the pictogram of the business "Pimping" lips were depicted (in the release version, a bra is depicted):
Neon at the Beachcomber Hotel was white:
Peds could dive under water and swim there:
Another Vic again:
Initially, in the Soldier mission, enemy boats should be destroyed (and the scope the same as in Vice City):
Ambassador (a cut-out boat that looks like a Speeder):
It is possible that the Ambassador was conceived as a boat similar to the Speeder.
Mp5 was longer (and the HUD icon is identical to the one in the release version):
Beta Vic:
The Casuals suit included a shirt not blue, but yellow:
How to understand this?
Well? Who said that all the secrets of the alpha / beta GTA Vice City Stories have been found?
Phil's Shooting Range had different interior textures, as well as there was lighting:
Initially, in the barracks, instead of a pistol, the player had an M16 rifle available:
The decoration in the form of a pink flamingo near Vic's house was absent in the beta version of the game:
Downtown Dirt Track was absent on the radar (i.e. that is, it was the same as in GTA Vice City):
