Proto:Jak 3/August 24 2004 Demo

This page details one or more prototype versions of Jak 3.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

A demo version of the game with a date of August 23 2004, compared to the final game's date of October 7 2004. It was included with Issue 87 of the Official U.S PlayStation Magazine.

Maps

A number of world maps contained in WOMAP.STR are placeholders or have differences to the final game's maps. The maps for Southern Haven Forest, Monk Temple, Great Volcano, Spargus, the Dark Maker ship during the "Destroy dark ship" mission and the Catacombs placeholder are identical to the final game, although they go unused in the demo. The map for the Metal Head cave during the "Destroy metal-pedes in nest" mission and the empty map for "Map data unavailable" are not present in demo.

Placeholders

Image	Level
	KG war factory
	Haven City. It is likely this map was intended to be used during the "Destroy war factory defenses" mission but in the final game the map screen simply shows the "Map data unavailable" text. The map is not present in the files of the final game.
	Metal Head city
	Metal Head tower
	Eco mine
	Palace ruins

Dark Maker ship ("Destroy dark ship shield" mission)			The outline used to indicate when the floor is dropped through is dotted instead of solid.
Haven City			Some areas are missing, the stadium is intact and taken from the Jak II map, the port is larger (also taken from Jak II), the Metal Head city has minor differences in color and design, there is a minor difference in the industrial section and the top left area is wider. In addition, the background is not translucent and the Precursor text (reading "HAVEN CITY") is missing.

The Precursor text says "SEWER METAL HEAD TO HAVEN CITY" instead of "SEWER PASSAGE TO PORT". The text is also curved instead of straight.
Sewer ("Reach Metal Head area via Sewer" mission)			A small section of the map is blue instead of yellow. The map is bigger and the background has a different design.
