mgchop001.#vr

one of the largest in the game. Runs for over 7 minutes.

vehicle chosen is an educated guess based on distance off ground

mgchop001.#vr Observations
Steering looks keyboard-like
Beginning, plenty of differences in road layouts and some at PDM
(times are yvr time as seen at bottom)
2:45 Changed terrain
3:15 Possibly changed road? or just driving on the sidewalk intentionally
6:05 adjusted road
6:10 changed/missing building
6:38 tree

txm_11_sc101.#yvr

educated guess on vehicle again, more finalized in terms of road layout than the previous, fair few mountains changed though and less props then final. Certainyl some time before release.

txm_11_sc101.#vr - Observations
road layout mostly finalized
looks like controller input

txm_11_sc101.#vr - Observations

road layout mostly finalized

looks like controller input

Desert, lots of terrain changes

0:15 all the way to 1:01

1:15 propping differences, shortly after some minor terrain differences on the beach

4:51... rock

6:02 & 6:12 no sign

6:44 -> 7:04 some differences in the highway


zentorno_streamingf001.#vr

vehicle picked is not an educated guess (i mean, its in the name)

There is one with a v instead of an f at the end that is just driving back and forth.

Very little of note, perhaps used as a unit test of some sort for streaming. May be controlled by keyboard, no noticable changes whatsoever. @ 3:50 hits the pylons, then goes back to finish em off and drives back which is amusing.


boatdepotfarms103.#vr

vehicle likely very wrong, bikes didn't make physical sense.

not much here, definitely ebta though.

Observations:

  • 3:17 -> 3:45 prop and terrain variation

  • 4:26 maybe road was different?


bary1spaceshipa102.#vr

something flying, the name convinced me they wanted to have a actual flying spaceship in the game for.... something

goes over mirror park area in circles.

no observations besides the name. related to the bary side missions..?

just flies over mirror park, hits a pole, then goes under some bridges near the end.

played at 4x speed because its not that interesting.


escape292.#yvr

Uncertain use, educated guess vehicle, fair few blatantly different buildings.

escape292.yvr - Observations

escape292.yvr - Observations

  • 0:05 immediately different/unfinished building

  • 0:38 old lifeinvader?

  • 1:17 bumped into something that doesn't exist

  • 1:55 altered roads

  • 2:08 minor collision differences

  • 3:05 building was altered.
