Burnin' Rubber 5 HD

To do: Upload raw textures for the unused Rhino colors.

Burnin' Rubber 5 HD is a Standalone HD version of the original Burnin' Rubber 5 Shockwave game. And yes, it is packed with weapons and explosions!

Unused Paint#

The Rhino has three paint jobs in the game that go unused, due to the car being a boss car. These are leftover skins from Xform's other game Downtown Drift.

Name Changes#

A few vehicles had their name changed in Burnin' Rubber 5. These names are from the previous Burnin' Rubber games like 3, 4, Crash 'n' Burn, and Shift.

To add more confusion into the name changes, when you complete Destruction Derby and unlock the Snake, it's called Stingray.

Unused Console GUI#

In the "English (US)" text file, there's some text listing an unused console that would show you who eliminated who in-game. Its only appearance was in the Sneak Peak build for the Shockwave version of the game in 2012. For some reason, the text remains in the HD version.

Downloading Vehicles#

Like the Unused Console, they also left some lines for downloading vehicles. In the original game, you had to download a vehicle in order to use it. Since the HD version already has the vehicle files, there was no need to download vehicles.

// Loading/locked
MenuLoadingHeaderText = VEHICLE QUEUED FOR DOWNLOAD
MenuLoadingSubText = PLEASE WAIT
MenuLoadingHeaderText2 = DOWNLOADING VEHICLE
MenuLoadingSubText2 = PLEASE WAIT

Unused Songs#

In the files, there's 2 songs named "AllThatMatters" and "Adrenaline". The only way to hear these songs in-game is via modding.

Unused Vehicles#

A few cars in the game for some reason have modded bodykits and not their original. The only car to have their original counterpart in-game is the Inferno 66 and Spryster Turbo.

Unused Weapons#

A few weapons go unused as well. It's unknown if the weapons function or not but their mesh data is still in the files.

Unused Sounds#

The only engine sound used in-game is DefaultStationair_SFX.wav, while the rest were left unused. In fact, these are the same engine sounds that are used in Burnin' Rubber: Crash 'n Burn.
