Community Dump: crash bandicoot beta psx :)

Get videos/screen shots up of blatant difference (I presume they are vast because it's a high price) and you'll probably either get a single person wanting to buy it or multiple people willing to donate.

 

i have these pics from a previous post








you want some more ?,im gunna do the video soon as im abit tired atm

how much of the game shall i record ?

 

Enough to show differences between the one in your possession and the version that hit retail.

 

It has been many years since I played Crash Bandicoot, but those screens of the islands appear to be the same as the final ones, just drawn in 2d, instead of 3d models. Then again, I was still in elementary school, so I could be remembering things differently.

I get the feeling that there wont be very many differences, just minor changes like the menus or other small differences that wouldn't be noticeable without side-by-side screenshots. Of course I hope I am wrong and that there are a lot of differences, but if there isn't, I can't see many people wanting to donate that much money anytime soon.

 

Doesn't mean its the place to dump thoughts best left inside one's head.

 

did i miss that post by haunted or summing ? anyways i never really played the retail of crash so give me a rough guess on how long i should record 5-10 mins ? i aint got a clue

 

Does anyone know what 'Disk 0012' means in the second picture? Is it some sort of identifier for the build?

 

i was woundering what that and the above meant ? any ideas ?

 

5-10 minutes could work for an initial video, but there might be zero differences in the beginning and a lot towards the middle and the end.

I vaguely recall a password system of some sort in the final version. Is there one in the beta? If so, you could try that and play different levels from the beginning, middle, and end of the game.

 

also appears here after that screen


i dont recall seeing a password sytem but that could be me ?

 

For now, it might be best if you recorded the first 2 or 3 levels, and move on from there. If you're not able to record anything yet, how about taking screenshots of the level? We could compare it with a video of the retail game on Youtube and point out any differences.

 

Alright, I checked Unseen64 for info. Development began in August 1994, in April 1995 Crash went into Alpha stage and was shown at E3 in May 1996. The build we have here predates the E3 version by a month, the retail release was August 31, 1996 making this build around four months before the final.

 

So could this be the one shown at e3, or is there another build floating around? Does that mean it only has a few levels?

 

i really could do with $600 i dropped $100 from drxs price allready i added up what i need to pay out debt wise and get presents and that just about covers it its bloody expensive haveing children trust me lol ,assembler we have a blaintent interest here lemme know what you think sounds more reasonabl i ow £200 ukp out allready as a debt then i will need roughly the same for my kids presents for xmas mate thats why im asking thats as low as i would want to go .....common lets make this happen please?

 

Haunted why you gotta be so negative , stop hating hater.;-)

 

I myself was expecting around $450. Still no new screenshots or even a video.....

Compiled 4 months before final.

 

As I said in the other thread, I'd throw in on this. This game was a big part of my childhood, I remember sitting with my dad taking turns to beat it all the way through, we had a blast.

 

Making a list of all levels in the retail version of crash including some deleted + strange levels, will be posting them soon. I'm still mem hacking to change levels.

Edit: So far I have found Stormy Ascent (Previously found) And 2 bonus rounds that look like some form of test levels since they are incomplete (no ending) and another bonus round which is extremely buggy graphical wise.

Edit:



o.o, where are you supposed to go z_z
