Trespasser Beta (pictures and video added)

Yeah they really just tried to much with this game. Deciding to use Procedural Physics for the dinosaur animation looks good until it freaks out after 5 seconds and the velociraptors take a dirt nap. I've always liked the way she counts the bullets though...it's surprisingly immersive and really tried a lot of things that are standards now. Also the game has REALLY strange Easter Eggs...Like the monolith from 2001 and a secret invisible walkway in the last level.

 

Hahaha!!

 

Hi! This is Remdul, one of the founders of TresCom and author of some of the modding tools. Other than technical assistance, I'm not so much active anymore in the community, but I got your mail so here I am.

The reason for the crappy registration was continued harassment by spammers. But I've posted a thread in the moderators forum asking automated registration to be enabled again, we've moved from our old host (IGN) so maybe the spam will no longer be a problem. Anyway, I apologize for the inconvenience. We try to be an open, inviting community.

On topic: aaah, the elusive Trespasser Beta :love2:. Other than a few screenshots from an ancient event (E3 probably) little is known about it (hype excluded). I'd be most interested to play with it!

A few years ago someone leaked a development version of the game to us, which included some GUI framework and some build-in debugging tools. Irrc, it didn't not include any data and was compatible with the retail game content. I will look it up and give you guys a linkie so you can check it out. That would be a nice trade.

 

Pretty much yeah. Of all the Jurassic Park related websites that sprung up for the last decade, we're pretty much the only one that remains. There are still others, but they come and go.

Trespasser was originally written to use a software engine, hardware support was added late in development. You can try to run it in software mode. Or perhaps there are some glide-driver emulators around, I wouldn't be surprised if there are.
I probably can't tell more until I get hands-on. I'm actually a graphics programmer, so you're in good company.

Shiny!

Some info on the numbers you see there:

1st image: "96", probably an internal build number, and thus an older version.

2nd image: note "116c", this is probably a 'release candidate'. The retail build is 116 (the CD label in fact is "Trespass_UK_116" on my disk). The date seems to back this up. So, I would expect to find a version of the game on that disk that isn't dissimilar from the retail version. To be sure, check the executable version via file properties (my unpatched retail version is "1.0.116.0").

3rd image: Date seems close to the disk in 2nd image. Not sure why it is labeled "beta 4". I will check the credits listing to see what the initials could possibly stand for.

Could you perhaps tell me more about the origin of these disks? If it's private in nature, feel free to PM me or contact per email (martijn AT bytehazard DOT com).

I will see if I can arrange something, please contact me per email.

 

This is awesome,this 96 on the first cd has caught my interest.And what the hell a Dreamcast disc!?
What on earth does this have to do with Trespasser :O!
Assembler,could you shed some light on the dc disc?

 

My thoughts exactly..

 

I'm pretty sure the Dreamcast disk is unrelated. DreamWorks did not develop nor publish any Dreamcast titles to my knowledge. By the way, I think the initials JG (mirrored G) could be the signature of Jon Galvan, who was production coordinator on Trespasser.

 

pics?

 

Try with TechSmith's SnagIt.

 

Just hit print screen, pause the game, save the screenshot in mspaint, unpause, hit print screen, pause the game, save the screenshot in mspaint, unpause...

 

This game is "officially" listed as unreleased. So there is glimpse of hope. ^^

@Assembler: Please look at the GD-R! I just can't stand this! :love:

 

I know a lot of people returned the game to the stores, but I guess you can't 'un-do' a release unless you have a 100% return rate...and I still have my original copy. ;-)

Sounds promising ASSEMbler. :icon_bigg What colors do the raptors have? The old beta builds and the one shown at E3 had less colorful brownish raptors that looked like the ones in the movies.

 

I'm talking about the dreamcast version. It's listed as unreleased *link*

I own the PC version too! I love this game! Especially this rubberlike hand.

 

The White Top really does look so much better then the released version :/
