Not exactly a collector, but anyway

[Krishty]

Someone owns a prerelease build of Driver 2 and was so nice to share it.

The build is an English PAL version, dated October 1st, 2000 – two weeks before the official PAL build.

It is not much different from the final build, so I was able to apply my standard tools and take a look at the levels.

Most differences concentrated on the Vegas map. It’s impressive how much they changed in those two weeks – they replaced not only textures, but the actual walls on all highways throughout the entire map!

Beta vs final for comparison (view image for full resolution):





There’s also an unreleased police car and the texture of an unreleased playable car (its model has been overwritten, sadly).
