Unused Cities

Leftovers from several test maps can be found: bangertest, qualcomm, stunt1, stunt2, stunt3, test2, test5, test6, test7 and testphysics. However, most of them don't have any map files.

stunt1 collision found in PS2 version of the game

stunt3 collision found in PS2 version of the game

testphysics collision found in PS2 version of the game

`qualcomm` refers to Qualcomm Stadium, there are leftover textures in the PC version of the game, a leftover UI icon titled `The Q` and there's a leftover bound (collision) file in the PS2 version of the game.

Unused Traffic Vehicles

Present in the PS2 version are leftover models for several traffic models. They still have UV mapping data on them, but the textures have been removed. In the Xbox and PC version only va_accord_t, va_cargotruck_small01_t, va_firetruck_l and va_trashtruck_p are present and the rest of the models are completely removed.

va_206_p

va_accord_t - almost identical to va_accord_l and the body is still assigned to its texture, but it has different mirrors and UV mapping.

va_audi_s3_p

va_bmw_l

va_bustour_p - no model file remains.

va_cargotruck_small01_t - has 6 paintjobs in total.

va_copcar1_l

va_copcar2_l

va_crv_l

va_garbagetruck_big_p - no model file remains.

va_firetruck_l - has a missing side texture in the PS2 version.

va_funicular_p_worked - an unused version of va_funicular_p, just positioned differently.

va_humlimo_l

va_polo_p

va_semitruck_l - an unfinished version of va_18wheeler with slightly different taillights design and positions.

va_trashtruck_p

Unused Player Vehicles

vp_civica_old (Xbox and PC only) - an earlier version of vp_civica, which is almost identical to the PS2 version of it instead.

vp_mitsuclassc (All versions) - leftover model from MCSR with several missing textures.

vp_slf400 (All versions)

Revisional Differences

The initial Steam release was published with a cracked executable by the infamous group Razor1911. On May 1, 2014, a patch was released (along with one for Max Payne 2) that removed their signatures after being called out about it. Executables themselves are still the same as the R1911 crack, however.
