What an awesome wiki.

Amazing how many animations and features are unused or removed from games.

I just discovered it due to this topic so now I'm browsing, I went to GTA5 as I expected it to be full of cool stuff, surprisingly not much
https://tcrf.net/Grand_Theft_Auto_V_(Xbox_360,_PlayStation_3)
Funny that there was still placeholder content from San Andreas though

Cool, I'll check that out.

Yeah I've loved that site for years, it's really exhaustive on 8/16 bit stuff.

Skyrim makes me sad they rushed it for their meme release date. The Civil War could have been truly grand.

Mario Sunshine was going to have some more levels, but they were cut. Their names were found in one of the files.

i know super princess peach was originally going to use the koopa kids as the bosses but changed their minds and just gave her generic monsters to fight :(

but the sprites for each of the koopa kids are in the game data

This really makes me hope they find more about Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door ever since they found the debug code

From the MGS1 page:

Ocelot prior to the first torture session originally contained a bit in which Ocelot describes the origin of electric torture in France, which can be heard at voice file vc131011. This version of the conversation went unused and was replaced with an edited version (voice file vc131013) that omitted said portion in order to safeguard French people. However, it cuts the dialogue at an unnatural point, with Snake responding to Ocelot "But I've never heard that before" for no reason. In the European version, the now unnecessary line was muted instead.

That has always bugged me!

Very much this. The breathtaking lack of polish on the game is mostly what makes it such a love / hate relationship for me.

lol, you're only discovering The Cutting Room Floor now?

Zelda OoT is a treasure trove for this kind of stuff.

Unseen64 was the other website I knew of, but this particular wiki I hadn't seen before.

https://tcrf.net/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time

zelda 64 even had some code for the N64 DD version, which never came to be

This is not in TCRM, but it's the same topic.

Zelda 64 was based on a mario 64 engine at first. Then they changed the code format.

Do you remember those early beta shots where link talks to some woman? :

http://www.zeldadungeon.net/images/news/oot-beta-aria-not-restored.jpg

Well they restored her! Her code isn't compatible with the code of the release version of OoT, so they had to do plenty of hacking. Here she is:

I had heard of it before but never knew what it was.

This was one of my favorite games for the longest time, even though nearly half of it was cut/unfinished.

A favorite is the texts Richard Aplin loved to include in his games.

Super Mario Brothers 3 (NES) - a hidden set of levels not accessible without a Game Genie

Perfect Dark (N64)
-Perfect Head (would allow yourself to put other peoples faces in-game, was cut due to the Columbine shooting)
-Entropic Decay/Zero Tau password achieved with Perfect:1 Rank has no use anymore
-Cheese hidden in levels was originally going to be the games cheat system

Pokemon Red/Blue
-The truck around the SS Anne, you must get a pokemon with SURF traded to you to discover this. Also you must SURF there before the ship departs.

Street Fighter 2:The World Warrior (SNES)
The names of the final bosses were changed around, due to possible legal issues with Mike Tyson (again) as M.Bison is short for Mike Bison.

Zelda Ocarina of Time (N64)
-Ever see the video with the Arwing in the game?

Goldeneye 007 (N64)

-The Klobb was originally going to be named the Spyder. Klobb is short for Ken Lobb, one of the games developers.

-Ourumovs Briefcase in the Silo is a scraped objective. The case and key can be collected, and were purported to have been plans for the Pirate Helicopter, located on the next level, the Frigate.

-The most popular scrapped objective was an abandoned building in the Dam, which would have been available by boat, seen across the water with a Sniper Rifle. You were to take a boat to collect the bungee equipment

GTA3 (PS2)

Colors of the NYPD cars were changed, and missions from "Darkel" were cut as a result of the 9/11 attacks.

Did he sleep on the job and get fired after like 3 weeks cause that is the worst fucking gun I've ever seen in a videogame.

If you play with license to kill on you can survive a hit from it that's how shitty it is.

I never noticed this on the MGS1 page, this also always bugged me.

Did they update the MGS 1 page? There's no way I've never looked at it before, but it has so much shit I never heard of before.

https://tcrf.net/Fallout_4#Mini_Nuke

Apparently they had plans to add a Nuclear Ullapool Caber.

Uhhh, I could have sworn I've heard that French electrical shock line before Was it re-added in Twin Snakes?

MGS V The Phantom Pain

Battle Gear

Initially the Battle Gear (a smaller anti-metal gear weapon developed by Huey) was intended to be an additional buddy/vehicle in the game. The logic was fully completed, as were all the required assets including but not limited to sounds, cutscenes, models, and particle effects.

Though cutscenes related to the vehicle are still in the game, it was cut as a buddy during playtesting for the game due to balancing issues. Instead, it only remains in game as an asset for deployment missions.
Dogs

Guard dogs were included in the game until playtesting, where they were removed. The cited reason was because "they were not as fun to sneak past." Numerous assets are still present in the game, as well as some logic. Various enemies and friendly units in the game can be heard talking to non-existent dogs, and there also various signs ingame warning the player of Guarddogs being posted in the area.
Skull Face

Skull Face's soundbank features sound assets that suggest that at one point you were supposed to fight with him at some point in the game. The player would also have a choice between killing him and taking back to Mother Base as a prisoner.

Ugh, I knew I shouldn't have clicked it...

Ken Lobb was a big name in Rareware it seemed like. I bet it was a developer practical joke.

He also had secrets like that in Killer instinct:

any fave findings in that site you want to share?

*Looks over all the cut Skyrim content*

And somehow the baffling feature where two NPCs will literally fight to the death over a scrap of iron ore you drop in front of them made the cut.
