Gta 3 Beta/prototype Ps2?

[Kogey]

Well I was surfing the web and I came across this picture. It was a screenshot of the GTA 3 beta but also if you look you'll see a weird looking PS2. Do you think it was what the PS2 was going to look like at first? Discuss.

Dunno, just thought it was pretty cool.

umm yea probally, but I mean it seems like it must of bean late PS2 prototype cause it looks similar to the final product.

I see the reset and eject buttons in different places.

Not exactly drastically different.

Correct answer. Developer Systems always look a little different.

It doesn't have the Dreamcast label on it, so it looks like a Sega computer.

The dreamcast logo is under the open GD-rom drive. Also that was the PS2 developer unit.

Looks like Sega failed attempt at the computer. Or developers were too lazy/cheap to design a consolesque system.

Well, it was the devkit, it had an HDD and all kinds of testing shit. It also had a GD-rom writer too.

Why would they need to? Only games developers are ever going to see the devkit versions, it's not like they give a shit what the console itself looks like.

That said, the X360 devkit is just a black Xbox 360, like the Elite.

Well actually, there was a Dreamcast devkit that sold on ebay for about 500 dollars. Assembler games bought it and they also got the GD-rom writer with a shit load of blank GD-rom disks

Its called a Dev Kit. Basically makes it better.

This thread is ancient. Since it's been bumped, and I still exist. I've learned quite a bit since this post and started into game development myself. I know now it's a PS2 TOOL system, in fact I own a PS3 TOOL system myself now within my own personal collection. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
