I remember toying with old hl2 leaked alpha, doom3 leak, hitman2, Painkiller leak etc back in the days. And some others.

I have only managed to find HL2 alpha download..... any clue where I can find Painkiller, unreal, half-life and OTHER famous alphas/betas/e3 ? Very Happy (That is NOT requesting)
Old alphas are impossible to find anywhere or maybe I am looking wrong Sad


games in development are very interesting and cool to play with. And as much, as I like to play some blood, hexen, shadow warrior and other classics in dosbox, I like to fiddle with those old leaked versions of games. It just bring back memories.


ohh and one more thing. TECH demos - I love stupid tech demos.

He is right though. RE2 used to be a very different game and the beta found its way to the internet (often called RE 1.5).

Stalker had a leaked beta/alpha something. I remember playing it. You could run around that compound where the stalkers get ambushed in the first game by the military guys.

Yeah, there's no links BUT it does help by giving you a frame of reference to work off. A lot of alphas/prototypes do sometimes appear online, that site can at least give you something to start with; the knowledge of their existence Very Happy

Someone have experience with Unreal beta?

For now I've found a "OPEN" map name, command in console Laughing

Doom 3 alpha from 2001 is legendary; arguably better than the final result. Laughing Look for my L0N3 release *out there*, it has some things fixed, while maintaining the overall feel.

There was Unreal Tournament 2 alpha (what would eventually become Unreal Tournament 2003), but that one was quite broken.

I played (well, struggled through Razz) the alpha leak and LOVED it, started getting really excited and hyped for the final version - which ended up being crap in comparison. Hell, didn't they even tone down the lighting model for the retail copy?

No, they had the same lighting model. They only disabled the models self-shadowing because the models were too low-poly, and were causing artifacts. This is something I did in my custom config for the alpha as well. Smile

I have found another forum
http://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=14&start=50

Plenty of betas.


Also. Speaking of unreal engine 4.... I have found a full UE3 from e32004 package Laughing Remember being very impressed with that tech demo.
still downloading

Still can't find doom3 alpha and painkiller anywhere but I will eventually.

btw. lameduke alpha is LAME Laughing

Yeah... Doom3 beta was more scary than final release but It doesn't mean that doom3 is a bad game. I totally love it and think its is still very immersive and good game. The alpha was just aiming somewhere slightly else

The only thing I didn't like in Doom 3 was the lack of pain state for the enemies. (same as in Metro2033)

nahh... You are overreacting. Doom3 isnt all that dark. I love the scifi atmosphere and al the techy stuff. The mars setting really works. And it's not dark. It just uses dynamic lighting.

The world of betas is fantastic tho. I've found so many gems! hardly anything works correctly. Found plenty of patches for hl2 alpha. Will try them.



btw. UE4 is advertised mainy by its new particle system and dynamic lighting.... Nothing of that is new... We have dynamic lighting in doom3 for example and in UE3 as well.

assemblergames.com awesome site and forum about beta/collecting. I used to collect beta/alpha versions . I had many cds/dvds with beta/alpha builds for pc and consoles , but i decided to stop because it's so addictive especially when you play game which hasnt been released to public


stop pressing F5 get a Life !

Well the idea behind it isn't new, but the way it's handled most probably is, and i guess that's where the innovation is. Then again, i might have no idea what i'm talking about having not seen anything more detailed than a couple of vids so far about UE 4.

You really think, that I think, That You think, That I think, that You think that doom3 is a black square?

no need to get so mad derpish all of sudden lol wut

Are we cool ? Very Happy

Rabid lov sabin !

@aevis yeah You are right but it's not that every game is using baked shadowmaps like rage... Rage uses it and achieves great performance. most other games have totally dynamic lighting that doesn't need recompiling. That is cryengine, UE3(not always) or even gtaIV. Basicly if there is a day-night cycle, there is a dynamic lighting ? I might not know what I am also talking about Razz
