Differences#

  • Cops were meant to wear Kevlar vests like the S.W.A.T., and lighter blue tortoise-shell helmets with goggles attached to them, their eyes not being able to be seen.
  • Claude picks up a Glock-18 which was never implemented in the official game.
  • Hare Krishna's hairstyle is not like what is seen in the game.
  • A Russian Mafia goon's pants are light brown not red.
  • Weapons originally were too different.
  • Weapons in concept art were too different from what we saw on the final game's HUD. They were used in the HUD on an early design. Pistols had a Beretta style, RPGs were tidy, Uzi's were like Ak-47s, the Electrogun was also different.
  • Loonies wore red armour that is not seen in the game.
  • Scientists were white.
  • Jerkov was older.
  • Trey had a bald head.
  • Elmo has hair, he's not bald.
  • Rednecks wear normal clothing rather than blue uniforms.
  • The human scientists wear a black mask and goggles and have the same style as the final game.
  • S.W.A.T. would have been able to use the cut weapon Electrobaton and Shotguns.
  • There are a lot of unknown characters in concept art.

Renders#

All the sprites seen in the game were made in a 3D program.

A render, of a SWAT officer firing what seems to be an Electrogun at Claude Speed. In the final game neither the SWAT officers nor NPCs carry Electroguns, probably due to the Electrogun being able to kill anyone in just three seconds.
