Watch on YouTube

A video by IGN contains scenery block-out for a few tracks, Vineta K and Chengou Project being the most visible example of it.

Unlockable concept arts#

Unlockable concept arts in WipEout Pure are interesting. They range from ingame art to logo concepts and to full-on UI never seen. Apparently some concepts in the game actually come from Fusion's own gallery, especially for the ships design and some tracks ideas. According to a an artist, some were also made to understand how the Painter program functioned¹.

UI#

Sebenco Peak (both race and time trials) and Staten park (the same) concepts have early UI concepts. Though sebenco_peak0, sebenco_peakt4, staten_park0 and staten_park1's concept arts are not UI related.

Some of the ideas in these UI concept did appear in some form in a few prototypes like the WOW (the On Line option later took it's place) or the loading screen appearing (though without the track and ship along with it's description) in a prototype.

Logo#

Multiple concepts arts appears to show different logos from the one in retail and most (if not the totality) are never used outside of it.
