Thanks! But It doesn't work to me. xD

 

Great! Thank you so much!

 

Okay so, i got figure it out. There is three non-retail version of the Soul Reaver on PlayStation released in somewhere on public. Here is "screen table" or how to know what version you have visually:



Also, there is differences in debug menu between "early" and "final" betas:



And finally, non-retail version - little demo from retail game "Unholy War, The [SLUS-00676]", dated as 24.08.98/1998-09-30-NA (retail LoK:SR: 16.08.99):


maybe someone can unlock debug menu in this build, anyone?

--- downloads description ---

This is modified early beta (12.05.99) to work with emulators.

this one is final beta (28.06.99), will work on emu too

this is early beta (12.05.99), but will not work on emu, maybe this one is original, old beta release

(24.08.98) - demo, nothing special.

 

Somebody got the download link for this?

 

iCEQB, you have to register on this forum and then press "thanks". The link will appear.

 

I know but I feel bad just to register for this...

 

Why? This site is very good, there you can download a lot of PSX games including rare ones.

 

Tried to reg there but it sucks. Damnit those AntiSpam shit picture thing doesn't work for me. Jesus.-.-

 

If there was a series that needed reviving it's this one. I miss Kain, Raziel and real time environmental shifting.

 

well,i was going to upload both betas,but got busy with life and internet(an upload screwed up,you can imagine how frustrated i was considering my slow internet,as it took well over 3 hours before it killed itself). btw,thanks silent_pavel! two things: one,the lighthouse demo is present in Akuji the heartless(at least the USA version,also includes TR3 area 51 demo) and i believe one of the Official US PS magazine discs(not sure about this one) and two: the late beta isn't the final one: there's another SR demo which is the fire glyph demo for ps1,which IIRC,was done in July of that same year,1999,but was done days before the retail version as it does have a different lunge attack(same one as the late beta,as opposed to the retail). The beta associated with this demo hasn't leaked yet,but it's likely that's the final beta(and possibly near identical to the final,in comparison to the late beta,which still has several differences in comparison to retail SR1) I may be mistaken on the fire glyph info: i'm writing what i remember about this particular demo,and i could be possibly mistaken,in which case,feel free to correct me. Another thing pavel: the early beta might have unused content: there's supposedly a THIRD kain encounter there,although the levels associated with it are not present(they were taken out at this point due to technical reasons,but,judging from the alpha vids and the chronoplast cutscenes,they were at least,partially finished). Also,i believe the early beta works fine with emulators,i mean,it's the 1st time i ever heard of two versions of the early beta(kinda like the two versions of biohazard 2 beta 2,the fixed and non fixed versions).

 

@futuretime23, thanks for info of course, but i wanted to research only publicly existed non-retail versions of the game, no rumors. So if you got more non-retail version, just research EXE date (if it will different) and take my picture table with builds title screens, then you can add additional columns, insert inside your screenshots from another LoK version. I'm only trust exe date in most. (yes, i know romhackers can change date)
Here some "timeline" of releases, you can add more info inside, or you can made new one, if you have 100% information about it:



24.08.98 - demo version have different visual effect, different controls, no free view. (possible unlock debug with codes??)
12.05.99 - version have TONS of cutted fragments of the game, inventory, maps, more debug options enabled, ect...
28.06.99 - version got only half of debug func (without codes http://gamehacking.org/?game=112911), no test maps, almost no cutted fragments, so it's looks like most like final beta.

also, dreamcast version date as 1999-12-20, PC version date as: 1999-09-01
so, we can say - game was developed first on PlayStation, then PC and in last on Dreamcast.

There's always this: Nosgoth.

 

i was going to suggest the lost worlds,but you beat me to the punch right there. btw,does anyone have the fire glyph demo of soul reaver? anyone care to look at it's exe and post the date here? would help to bridge the gap between the last known beta and the final game.
