laracroftwest has uploaded on Youtube an interesting video from an old prototype of Tomb Raider (yes, the first one), taken from PlanetLara.com. This demo should be one of the first prototypes that Core Design showed to Eidos, to convince them to support the TR project. If you have some more informations about this, please let us know!
After the Super Mario World Beta Remake by Randy355, Unseen 64 would like to promote another attempt in recreating the Mario 64 Beta game: in this new unseen project, Bosco is trying to hack Super Mario 64 with Toad’s Tool 64, to change textures and to add some of the removed stuff that we can see in the old screens and videos. An example is this testing video, where he has changed the textures in the castle entrance, to try to match the ones that are in the beta screen below. Take a look and keep in mind that Bosco has started the Mario 64 Beta project from just a couple of days and it’s just an early work:
Well, I have a new level showing off random beta stuff, it needs some polishing, but it will be here in no time!
I think my last two were better, but this has nicer quality at least! You can check the other videos and screens from the “Beta Mario World Project” in here & here, or you can join the discussion about the project in the U64 forum in here.
The Unseen 64 Staff is happy to welcome 3 new geeks in our beta-family: soon you should be able to see some unseen-stuff from FullMetalMC (a long-time contributor), CoinCollector & Denten! The U64 crew is already quite large, but as you know, there are so many things to do to preserve the cuts and changes in the gaming development, so every endeavor help is welcome :) And now, back to work!
After completing one of the launch titles for the N64 in 1996, Pilotwings (the other being Super Mario 64), Paradigm was tasked with creating three new games: Pilotwings 2, a “racing” game (Which later became Beetle Adventure Racing!) and a more serious flight simulator, which was to be called “Flights of the U.N.” This title was later changed to Harrier 2000, and again to Harrier 2001 probably due to delays. The game was supposed to be released in 1999, but when it was delayed they “updated” the title to go along with the new release date. Read the rest of this entry »
