Body Parts#

Unused sprites indicate that Claude was meant to blow enemies or pedestrians to pieces, which was only implemented in Grand Theft Auto III.

Cop's Dialogue Face#

Gta2_cop_face.gif

A policeman's face possibly would have been used for dialogue. In-game, dialogue parts spoken by cops are rare and use the generic "neutral character" face (in "Big Bank Job!" and "Benson Burner!"). Also, it would probably be used if Claude was busted due to GTA 1 also having a police face that told you your crimes if you got busted.

Claude Speed's Face Reaction#

Claude's head is seen in many screenshots and one gameplay footage in the HUD where the health is. Its appearance is a bald head and blue eyes contrasting with Claude's sprite and the short film portrayal of Claude.

Skull and Crossbones#

GTA2_Kill-frenzyskull.png The game contains a sprite file for a skull and crossbones which would have been for when Claude started a Kill Frenzy mission again. GTA 1 has a skull and crossbones when you start a Kill Frenzy mission.

Grand Theft Auto 1 leftovers#

Fstyle.sty (Font Style) is a file in Grand Theft Auto 2 that has the Main Menu & HUD text characters.

Packable vehicle bomb#

As this item doesn't appear on the map, this sprite is not used.

Hitting Walls & Pedestrians Effect#

A leftover from Grand Theft Auto. It was presented in the early design of the game, where, when the player hit the pedestrian, the palette colour of this sprite would turn red, and if you hit a wall, it would be white.

Blood#

Blood pool taken from Grand Theft Auto.

Unused Front#

Unused Placeholder Graphics#

Drowning Ped#

Pedestrians (and player) had a unique animation that triggered when falling in water. In the game, the sprite is just cropped instead of playing the animation.

Textures#

The graphic files contain a couple of tile textures that were never used in the main maps. You can easily know they're leftovers because they have an "X" mark on them.
