    Recently I was watching the Medal of Honor PS1 beta trailer:



    ...and asking myself if the gore level of the beta is still in the final version but only disabled?! If so it should be possible to enable it via codes. Anyone who tried this or would like to give try on this one?

    HOLY CRAP!! This actually was meant to have blood & gore at first?!! So eventually we we're gonna have a M for Mature Medal of Honor afterall! cool find man.

    I'm quite not sure why did it had to be completely toned down alot?

    I doubt it's still there, it looks complex ie 3d animation.
    I'd say it would have been stripped out to save RAM/VRAM/CPU/GPU.
    Besides, probably not the image Disney would have want anyway.
    But the devs would know for sure (if they still remember) .

    I was always wondering about that. I bought a bootlegged russian copy of it, back when it was new, and it had screenshots from the beta on the cover. I loved the game but was kind of disappointed that it didn't have the gore effects from the cover art.
    It was made by DreamWorks, not Disney.

    I'd agree that this was probably stripped to save on system resources. By '98/'99 the ps1 was already being pushed to it's fullest anyway and those animations could like have consumed a lot of otherwise useful memory.

    Maybe someone can lurk in the resources and see if there are any references left to gore animations / gibs?
    Or any other sort of references to cut beta content?
    Where are the cutting room floor people at? This game need its own page on that site! :p

    @Borman sorry to bother you, just thought you might know something? Anything? Seeing as how you're one of the most knowledgeable people around :)
