==Notes==
* The build is unplayable due to the executables being updated on later dates, but the files may be of interest to gaming historians.
* Game data appears to be from September 22, 2005, but the executables range from October 14, 2005 to April 19, 2006.
* The presence of the godfather_psp folder suggests that this build was used to test missions for The Godfather: Mob Wars.
* There are HUD references for "target railshooter" in the Page 44 text files. It seems that the planned but cut drive by shooting for Aldo was going to be brought over to Mob Wars.
* There are references to Willie Cicci in the Sonny's War mission text files. He was originally part of the mission but was cut for unknown reasons. He can be seen in the opening cutscene but disappears when gameplay starts in the final game. There is unused audio from him for the mission in the final game's audio files!
* There are some npcs referenced such as "snitch" and "car salesman" in the npc model files. They would go on to be unused in the final game. There is even unused audio for the snitch in the final game's audio files!
* There are npc models known as "kid", "boy", "Moe Greene", "quack" and "herc" referenced in the global text files. Children were considered for the game but were cut. Moe Greene was planned to be in the game along with his missions but was cut for time and brought over to the Blackhand and Don's Edition versions of the game. The quack was the earlier name for the doctor. The herc stands for "hero character" and is an earlier version of Aldo. This model would go on to be unused in the final game. The unused snitch and car salesman models are also referenced here as well.
* The "target railshooter" is referenced again multiple times in the global text files.
* There are unknown letters with numbers in the global text files. These are actually the internal mission identification names. One actually stands out which is "s10". This turns out to be a cut story mission!
* "Hot Wiring" is referenced in the global text files. Aldo originally had to jumpstart cars as opposed to being able to drive them straightaway.
* "LOC SNITCH" is referenced in the global text files. This means locate snitch and was part of the family hit list system in which the hit list targets were in hiding and Aldo had to find a snitch in the neighborhoods, beat them up and interrogate them to find out the targets location.
* There is TONS of Blackhand debug descriptions in the global text files.
* There is TONS of Crimewatch debug descriptions in the global text files.
* The early "Downtown" along with the cut neighbourhoods "Queens", "Bronx", "Harlem/East Harlem" and "Upper West Side" are referenced A LOT in the global text files with the words "takeover" and "visit" before them!

* There seems to be "first" and "all" complete mentions in the global text files. Some examples are the quacks, snitches, family hits, police chiefs, banks, prize fights and favors.

* There are HUD mini-map references for "jail", "garage", "city traffic" and "fleer" in the global text files. Some of these were planned but cut. The city traffic is referenced and unused in the final PC version's text files and the jail is referenced in the final game's audio files.
* There was originally more to the prologue of the game according to the dialogue text files. It actually exists as unused audio in the final game!

* Paulie Gatto and Marty Malone had TONS more dialogue to say in the Grave Situation tutorial mission. Paulie's was assigned to an earlier opening cutscene. It's all unused audio in the final game!
* Virgil Sollozzo and Bruno Tattaglia had additional dialogue in the Sleeping With The Fishes tutorial mission before they despawned when Aldo finds Luca's body and kills his assassin. These are unused audio in the final game! The mission also had different mission objective descriptions!
* There is dialogue from Don Corleone's assassins and Fredo Corleone which never triggers in the Don Is Dead story mission. The assassin taunted Aldo as he had Francis Malone hostage and Fredo's was tied to the scrapped drive by shooting as he drove the car and told Aldo to shoot at the Tattaglia's that were chasing them up to the point of Brooklyn Bridge. These are all unused audio in the final game!
* The Tom Is Still Missing story mission is present here in some capacity with some dialogue from Clemenza, the Tattaglia henchman holding Tom Hagen hostage, earlier mission objective descriptions and internal gameplay segment references.

A prototype of '''''The Godfather''''' for the Microsoft Xbox.

==Notes==
*This is a demo that was built for E3 2005.
*Appears to only run properly on a Xbox or on emulators with 128MB of memory. The build will run out of memory and hang after pressing start when ran on retail hardware.
*Built about eight and a half months before the first available final build.
*Different Electronic Arts logo.
*Different Paramount logo.
*Copyright information is displayed under the Godfather splash screen.
*The title screen is very different.
*The attract trailer is the E3 2005 Trailer.
*There is no loading screen. The screen freezes until the level is loaded.
*Only one neighborhood is playable in this build which is Little Italy.
*There were eight additional businesses planned for Little Italy based on the text files but were cut before release. They are "Baldorio's", "O'Reilly's Construction", "Apartment for lease", "St Helen's Bakery", "Calhoun Auto", "Izzy's Pawn Shop", "Philly's Irish Bar", "Hester Street Hotel" and the "Chop Shop". They even have their own designated street locations!
*The Chop Shop actually existed on Eldridge Street and work was done on it to some extent.
*There are audio references for sick people and the notepad in the text files.
*A weapon called "silenced pistol" has audio references in the text files. It was planned for the game but cut for time. It would become the "Hertzstopper" DLC Level 4 Pistol in the Xbox 360 and Don's Edition versions of the game.
*There are HUD "railshooter" references in the text files. On rails gameplay sections for Aldo was planned very early on for the game but was cut before release. There is unused text in the final PC version that even references this!
*There are references for "read", "return", "steal", "loot items", "order", "negotiate" and "intimidate" in the text files. These were additional action prompts for Aldo when looking at newspapers, working with crew and extorting business owners. These were ultimately cut WELL before release.
*It turns out that four neighborhoods were cut before release when looking through the text files. They were East Harlem, Queens, the Bronx and Upper West Side. They have ALL their supporting businesses, apartments, banks, subway stations, police stations, hospitals and landmarks listed in the text files as well!
*There are references to additional cut businesses and apartments for Little Italy, Brooklyn, New Jersey, Hell's Kitchen and Midtown in the text files also!
*There are references to "rumors", "list of last 50 rumors", "rumor history" and "50 most recent rumors" in the text files which were all tied to npc dialogue. These were cut hints that the neighborhood npcs would give to Aldo about social clubs, businesses, rackets, extorting, strippers, apartments, respect, the police, the heat system, prize fights, the five families, police chiefs and meetings with the Corleone family.
*There are references to "crackdown level" and "crackdown level increased/decreased" in the text files. This was a cut system. If Aldo committed too many crimes, the police would come after the Corleone family.
*There are references to "favors", "favor requests", "favor objectives", "favor giver" and "favor target" in the files. Favors were planned for the game but was cut for time and brought over to the Blackhand and Don's Edition versions of the game.
*There are references to "contacts", "current target" and "last seen" in the text files. These were part of the Family Hit List system and it was more fleshed out at one point. Originally, the hit list targets were in hiding so Aldo had look for people called "snitches" in the neighborhoods, beat them up and then interrogate them to uncover the targets location.
*Moe Greene is referenced in the text files. He was planned to be in the game along with the missions he was tied to but was cut for time and brought over to the Blackhand and Don's Edition versions of the game.
*There is something called "Consigliere" referenced in the text files. This was a cut family rank for Aldo!
*There are references to "enterprises" and "enterprises seized" in the text files. This may be a cut term for taking over a specific set of family businesses.
*There are references to "muggings" in the text files. Aldo was originally able to steal money from npcs walking around the neighborhoods at one point but was cut.
*Doctors were internally known as "quacks" according to the text files.
*There are weapons called "pinky rings", "brass knuckles", "garotte rope", "plumber's wrench" and "sledgehammer" in the text files. They were planned to be included in the game very early on but were cut. There is unused text in the final PC version which references these!
*There are UI references for "armor meter" in the text files. Body Armor was planned to be in the game as a purchasable black market sellers item in the neighborhoods that Aldo could obtain to restore his health to max level. There is unused mini-map icon text in the final PC version which references this!
*There are UI references for "garage" and "jail" in the text files. These are for the mini-map. They were cut before release. There is unused audio in the final game that references the jail!
*There are UI references for "payroll" in the text files. Aldo could only have give to money once to doctors and police chiefs to obtain health or have the police on the Corleone's side indefinitely.
*Three events can be played which are the Don Is Dead story mission, Clemenza's hit list mission and Emilio's Butcher's racket.
*The Notepad has a very basic design.
*The White Button is used to talk to npcs as opposed to the Y Button in the final game. It's also used to extort business owners.
*Button prompt, weapon pickup and status info textboxes are different.

*Aldo uses the name "David DeMartini" when you look at Tom's Report.
*Aldo will respawn when Iced.
*The front takeover music is slightly different.

*The opening and endings cutscenes for the Don Is Dead story mission are quite different.
*Clemenza can be killed in this build.

This build is from roughly 3 months before the game's official American release, yet its content is wildly different and features many early designs, most of the tracks still being from the Pre-Alpha phase of development.

A prototype of The Godfather for the Microsoft Xbox.
==Notes==
* The build is unplayable due to the executables being updated on later dates, but the files may be of interest to gaming historians.
* Game data appears to be from September 22, 2005, but the executables range from October 14, 2005 to April 19, 2006.
* The presence of the godfather_psp folder suggests that this build was used to test missions for The Godfather: Mob Wars.
* There are HUD references for "target railshooter" in the Page 44 text files. It seems that the planned but cut drive by shooting for Aldo was going to be brought over to Mob Wars.
* There are references to Willie Cicci in the Sonny's War mission text files. He was originally part of the mission but was cut. He can be seen in the opening cutscene but disappears when gameplay starts. There is unused audio from him for the mission in the final game's audio files!
* There are some npcs such as "snitch" and "car salesman" in the npc model files. They would go on to be unused in the final game. There is even unused audio for the snitch in the final game's audio files!
* There are npc models known as "kid", "boy", "Moe Greene", "quack" and "herc" referenced in the global text files. Moe Greene was planned to be in the game along with his missions but was cut for time and brought over to the Blackhand and Don's Edition versions of the game. The quack was the earlier name for the doctor. The herc stands for "hero character" and is an earlier version of Aldo. This model would go on to be unused in the final game. The snitch and car salesman models are referenced here as well.
* The "target railshooter" is referenced again multiple times in the global text files.
* There are unknown letters with numbers in the global text files. These are actually the internal mission identification names. One actually stands out which is "s10". This turns out to be a cut story mission!
* "Hot Wiring" is referenced in the global text files. Aldo originally had to jumpstart cars as opposed to being able to drive them straightaway.
* "LOC SNITCH" is referenced in the global text files. This means locate snitch and was part of the family hit list system in which the targets were in hiding and Aldo had to find a snitch in the neighbourhoods and interrogate them to find out the targets location.
* There is TONS of Blackhand debug descriptions in the global text files.
* There is TONS of Crimewatch debug descriptions in the global text files.
* The early "Downtown" along with the cut neighbourhoods "Queens", "Bronx", "Harlem/East Harlem" and "Upper West Side" are referenced A LOT in the global text files with the words "takeover" and "visit" before them!
* There is TONS of family debug descriptions in the global text files.
* There seems to be "first" and "all" complete mentions in the global text files. Some examples are the quacks, snitches, family hits, police chiefs and favors.
* "Favors" are referenced in the global text files. They were planned but cut and brought over to the Blackhand and Don's Edition versions of the game.
* There are HUD mini-map references for "jail", "garage", "city traffic" and "fleer" in the global text files. Some of these were planned but cut. The city traffic is referenced in the final game's text files and the jail is referenced in the final game's audio files.
* There was originally more to the prologue of the game according to the dialogue text files. It actually exists as unused audio in the final game!
* Luca Brasi originally had completely different dialogue, the mission objective descriptions were different and Sergeant Galtosino had more bribe dialogue for the Enforcer tutorial mission. The Sergeant Galtosino bribe dialogue is unused audio in the final game!
* Paulie Gatto and Marty Malone had TONS more dialogue to say in the Grave Situation tutorial mission. Paulie's was assigned to an earlier opening cutscene. It's all unused audio in the final game!
* Virgil Sollozzo and Bruno Tattaglia had additional dialogue in the Sleeping With The Fishes tutorial mission before they despawned when Aldo finds Luca's body and kills his assassin. These are unused audio in the final game! The mission also had different objective descriptions!
* There is dialogue from Don Corleone's assassins and Fredo Corleone which never triggers in the Don Is Dead story mission. The assassin taunted Aldo as he had Francis Malone hostage and Fredo's was tied to the scrapped drive by shooting as he drove the car and told Aldo to shoot at the Tattaglia's that were chasing them. These are all unused audio in the final game!
* The Tom Is Still Missing story mission is present here in some capacity with some dialogue from Clemenza, the Tattaglia henchman holding Tom Hagen hostage, earlier mission objective descriptions and internal gameplay segment references. This was completed but cut for time and brought over to the Blackhand and Don's Edition versions of the game. Some of Clemenza's dialogue is unused audio in the final game!
* Michael Corleone's dialogue with Enzo the Baker outside the hospital watching for Tattaglia's from the film is present in the Intensive Care story mission. This was a cutscene which was scrapped but the audio for it is actually unused in the final game!
* An unknown mission appears after Intensive Care and there is dialogue from Sergeant Galtosino which was tied to it. This was actually a cut side mission called "You Can't Pick Your Friends" and Galtosino's dialogue actually survives as unused audio in the final game!
* Sergeant Galtosino had a lot more dialogue for the Fireworks story mission which would go on to be unused audio in the final game! There's even earlier mission objective descriptions for the start of the mission.
* Clemenza had TONS more to say for the Death To The Traitor story mission which would go on to be unused audio in the final game! There's even earlier mission objective descriptions for it.
* The Horseplay story mission had a completely different meeting setup for it's opening, had additional mission objectives, Rocco had more to say and Jack Woltz had some end mission dialogue. These are all unused audio in the final game!
* An unknown mission appears after Horseplay and there is dialogue from Sonny Corleone and Marty Malone tied to it along with an opening cutscene. This was actually a cut side mission called "The Weakest Link" and some of it survives as unused audio in the final game! It even has internal references.
* The ending and mission objective descriptions for the Recipe For Revenge story mission were completely different. Only the ending survived as unused audio in the final game!
* The entirety of the Now It's Personal story mission was different. Some of the original version survived as unused audio in the final game!
* Sonny Corleone, Willie Cicci and Artie Manzerano had more dialogue for the Sonny's War story mission. This confirms Willie was part of it. Most of it survives as unused audio in the final game!
* There's TONS of unknown dialogue for the Change of Plans mission which turns out to be from Marty Malone and Don Corleone. It ALL survived as unused audio in the final game!
* There's more dialogue from Jimmy DeNunzio, Marty Malone and a police officer for the Order To Kill story mission. These were tied to an earlier version. Most of it survives as unused audio in the final game!
* Tessio and Tom Hagen had more to say in the It's Only Business story mission. It ALL survives as unused audio in the final game!
* Moe Greene and his associated mission "Royal Flush" are here in some capacity with some dialogue from Michael Corleone, Fredo Corleone, Clemenza and completely different mission objectives. He was planned to be in the game but cut for time and brought over to the Blackhand and Don's Edition versions of the game.
* There is additional dialogue from Michael Corleone and Al Neri that acts as the set up and end of the Baptism By Fire story mission. ALL of it survives as unused audio in the final game!
* There's TONS of unknown dialogue from Marty Malone which turns out to be a cut mission he gave to Aldo. ALL of it survives as unused audio in the final game!
* Plenty of unknown dialogue from Francis Malone, Tattaglia family men and Aldo is present. This is actually a cut side mission called "Big Day Out" and most of it survived as unused audio in the final game!
* The Sonny/Carlo fight scene from the film is present. This was planned but cut. Sonny's respective dialogue survived in unused audio form in the final game!
* A meeting with Don Corleone and Tom Hagen is present in the dialogue files. This was cut but their dialogue survived in unused audio form in the final game!
* Most of the family hit list targets had different setups, were in different neighborhoods and had different bonus condition requirements.
* A favor from Don Corleone involving a man named Dr Harvey is present in the dialogue files. This was cut but it survived in unused audio form in the final game!

A prototype of '''''The Godfather''''' for the Microsoft Xbox.

==Notes==
*This is a demo that was built for E3 2005.
*Appears to only run properly on a Xbox or on emulators with 128MB of memory. The build will run out of memory and hang after pressing start when ran on retail hardware.
*Built about eight and a half months before the first available final build.
*Different Electronic Arts logo.
*Different Paramount logo.
*Copyright information is displayed under the Godfather splash screen.
*The title screen is very different.
*The attract trailer is the E3 2005 Trailer.
*There is no loading screen. The screen freezes until the level is loaded.
*Only one neighborhood is playable in this build which is Little Italy.
*There were eight additional businesses planned for Little Italy based on the text files but were cut before release. They are "Baldorio's", "O'Reilly's Construction", "Apartment for lease", "St Helen's Bakery", "Calhoun Auto", "Izzy's Pawn Shop", "Philly's Irish Bar", "Hester Street Hotel" and the "Chop Shop". They even have their own designated street locations!
*The Chop Shop actually existed on Eldridge Street and work was done on it to some extent.
*There are audio references for sick people and the notepad in the text files.
*A weapon called "silenced pistol" has audio references in the text files. It was planned for the game but cut for time. It would become the "Hertzstopper" DLC Level 4 Pistol in the Xbox 360 and Don's Edition versions of the game.
*There are HUD "railshooter" references in the text files. On rails gameplay sections for Aldo was planned very early on for the game but was cut before release. There is unused text in the final PC version that even references this!
*There are references for "read", "return", "steal", "loot items", "order", "negotiate" and "intimidate" in the text files. These were additional action prompts for Aldo when looking at newspapers, working with crew and extorting business owners. These were ultimately cut WELL before release.
*It turns out that four neighborhoods were cut before release when looking through the text files. They were East Harlem, Queens, the Bronx and Upper West Side. They have ALL their supporting businesses, apartments, banks, subway stations, police stations, hospitals and landmarks listed in the text files as well!
*There are references to additional cut businesses and apartments for Little Italy, Brooklyn, New Jersey, Hell's Kitchen and Midtown in the text files also!
*There are references to "rumors", "list of last 50 rumors", "rumor history" and "50 most recent rumors" in the text files which were all tied to npc dialogue. These were cut hints that the neighborhood npcs would give to Aldo about social clubs, businesses, rackets, extorting, strippers, apartments, respect, the police, the heat system, prize fights, the five families, police chiefs and meetings with the Corleone family.
*There are references to "crackdown level" and "crackdown level increased/decreased" in the text files. This was a cut system. If Aldo committed too many crimes, the police would come after the Corleone family.
*There are references to "favors", "favor requests", "favor objectives", "favor giver" and "favor target" in the files. Favors were planned for the game but was cut for time and brought over to the Blackhand and Don's Edition versions of the game.
*There are references to "contacts", "current target" and "last seen" in the text files. These were part of the Contract Family Hit List system and it was more fleshed out at one point. Originally, the hit list targets were in hiding so Aldo had look for people called "snitches" in the neighborhoods, beat them up and then interrogate them to uncover the targets location.
*Moe Greene is referenced in the text files. He was planned to be in the game along with the missions he was tied to but was cut for time and brought over to the Blackhand and Don's Edition versions of the game.
*Something called "Consigliere" is referenced in the text files. This was a cut family rank for Aldo!
*There are references to "enterprises" and "enterprises seized" in the text files. This may be a cut term for taking over a specific set of family businesses.
*There are references to "muggings" in the text files. Aldo could have possibly been able to steal money from npcs walking around the neighborhoods at one point.
*Doctors were internally known as "quacks" according to the text files.
*There are weapons called "pinky rings", "brass knuckles", "garotte rope", "plumber's wrench" and "sledgehammer" in the text files. They were planned to be included in the game very early on but were cut. There is unused text in the final PC version which references these!
*There are UI references for "armor meter" in the text files. Body Armor was planned to be in the game as a purchasable black market sellers item in the neighborhoods that Aldo could obtain to restore his health to max level. There is unused mini map icon text in the final PC version which references this!
*There are UI references for "garage" and "jail" in the text files. These are for the mini map. They were cut before release. There is unused audio in the final game that references the jail!
*There are UI references for "payroll" in the text files. Aldo could give to money to doctors and police chiefs to obtain health or have the police on the Corleone's side.
*Three events can be played which are the Don Is Dead story mission, Clemenza's family hit list mission and Emilio's Butcher's racket.
*The Notepad has a very basic design.
*The White Button is used to talk to npcs as opposed to the Y Button in the final game. It's also used to extort business owners.
*Button prompt, weapon pickup and status info textboxes are different.

*Aldo uses the name "David DeMartini" when you look at Tom's Report.
*Aldo will respawn when Iced.
*The front takeover music is slightly different.
*The dialogue that Aldo, Emilio and the racket boss say is drastically different.
*There are additional stats in Tom's Report that were cut before release.
*Finishing the Don Is Dead mission sends you back to the title screen.
*The opening and endings cutscenes for the Don Is Dead mission are quite different.
*Clemenza can be killed in this build.
*Clemenza's family hit list mission was quite different from the final game's.
*Aldo Trapani's model is entirely different from the final game's.
*The mini map is different and has different icons.
*The backroom interior of Emilio's Butcher's before going upstairs is different.
*The upstairs gambling den in Emilio's Butchers is different.
*The racket boss in Emilio's Butcher's is a placeholder model.
*The look of the Pitt Street Warehouse is very basic.
*There was an alley entrance for the Pitt Street Warehouse near where the Bowery Hotel is in the final game. This was cut.
*The racket boss's room in the Pitt Street Warehouse was different.
*There are grocers used as placeholders for the Tattaglia's inside the Pitt Street Warehouse.
*The barber model is used as the drug addict model for the back of the Smoke Shop.
*Hash Racket may have been an earlier name for drug rackets.
*There is a second entrance door for the saferoom in the Smoke Shop.
*There is an interactable grocers shop that Aldo can enter across the street from DeMartini's Barbers. This was removed from the final game.
*There are phone box, bus stop and taxi stop props on the streets. These were actually left unused in the final game!
*There is a subway station visible on the subway tracks where the Level 2 Snub Pistol upgrade can be purchased in the final game. This was removed before release.
*Aldo Trapani, Emilio the Butcher, the Racket Boss, the Tattaglia's, the Cuneo's, Bobby Marcolini and Don Corleone's Assassins all use placeholder voice actors.
*Tom's Report in the pause menu is drastically different from the final game's.
*The HUD and UI are very unfinished, radically different and lacks detail.
*The Shotgun and Tommy Gun weapons uses placeholder sound effects.
*Blackhand uses placeholder sound effects.
*Environment sound effects are different.
*Action text for talking and interrogating is different.
*Vendetta and Heat use placeholder sound effects. Vendetta was shown by just text. Heat was known as "Crimewatch" during this stage of development.
*Respect Increased was shown by just text.
*There are certain areas outside of what is supposed to be playable in Little Italy that appear to be very unfinished.
*Contains earlier renditions of the games soundtrack.
*Two music tracks go unused in this build.

The Godfather (Jan 26, 2006 A prototype)

2022-07-29T16:46:51Z

Tekkenlord05: Changed the first bullet point to say release instead of final build as it says it was finalised a week later.

{{Prototype

|unreleased=No
}}
{{Download
|file=The Godfather (January 26, 2006 Xbox Build).7z
}}

==Notes==
The XDK image was originally shared on ASSEMblerGames, but the build was not recovered until years later.
 
The only maps that work are Brooklyn Grid and Little Italy. The other maps do not load due to corrupted or missing files.
 
It is recommended to use '''ears_godfather_r.xbe''' if you are running the build on a debug kit or '''ears_godfather_q.xbe''' if you are just running it on a modded xbox.

*Build around a month before release.
*The HUD is different.
*The mini-map is more detailed but lacks aspects from the final game.
*Business and Street text is different and in a different position.
*Aldo has his proper voice actor.
*Mobface was different.
*Police Protection meter is a different colour.
*Heat text is in a different position and works differently than the final game's.
*Weapon UI is different.
*The business textbox has more important text such as difficulty and extortion potential. It looks like these could be looked at on the map screen when you press the white/black button. These were cut from the final game.
*The mission objective arrow has a different design.
*The mission timer was different.

A prototype of Gladiator: Sword of Vengeance for the PlayStation 2.
==Notes==

*An NTSC build dated four months before the final.
*Seems to be a limited demo build with a level select on the title screen.
*The title screen contains a couple of build strings.
**At the top of the screen, it says "May Demo Version 1.5A".
**At the bottom of the screen, it says "Built: Jun 2 2003 16:53:31". The build date string is also present on the Acclaim logo screen.
**The health bar and magic meter are very different.
**Invictus can wield all three weapons at the start of the Rome level but only uses the arm blades for it in the final game.
**The select weapons text is different.
**The grab the rope text is different.
**The camera work in the Rome level is different.
**The arena you enter after using the rope has a completely different design.
**The Rome level music is very different.
*Miscellaneous Notes:
**Game is emulatable (in PCSX2): Yes (as of March 17, 2021).
**Game contains dongle protection: No.
