A prototype of XGRA: Extreme G Racing Association for the PlayStation 2.
Notes
- An NTSC build dated just under 2 months before the final game.
- There is no intro sequence, nor opening logos. There's a title screen in this build, but it doesn't match the one used in the final.
- The player is greeted to a choice of either a "Dance" or "Rock" soundtrack when starting up the game, like some of the much earlier builds. It's not clear if this has any affect on the music that's played.
- Some of the menus are a bit incomplete and may contain typos.
- Only the English language is present, and selecting any other language will replace all text with variants of "Text n Not Found".
- There's early loading screens.
- There's a debugging display containing camera coordinates near the bottom of the screen in-game at all times. Additionally, the bottom left of the screen contains some additional information, though it's not clear what this information means.
- Weapons are finally back, but seemingly only the gun, and not the secondary weapons.
- There's a new save format, meaning this build will not be able to use the same save format as earlier ones.
- For some reason there's a black bar along the top of the screen in menus.
- The countdown at the beginning of the race sounds different.
- The countdown signs at the start of each race are finally present, but they're not textured yet.
- There's still some glitchiness around falling off the track during a race.
- Despite the tracks now having their final names, their earlier placeholder names also appear on-screen when selecting a track.
- Miscellaneous Notes:
- Game is emulatable (in PCSX2): Yes (as of March 17, 2021).
- Game contains dongle protection: No.
