Driver: Parallel Lines - Late 2005 Beta Vehicles & Characters

Merry Christmas everyone!

This is a video that I've always wanted to make. Originally I wanted to show only the different vehicles, but in the end I decided to show all of them. They are a complete snapshot of the progress done until 2nd December 2005 and majority of them were last modified in mid-late November. The characters are even earlier, dated 29th October 2005, with some of them dating way back to July and August.

While the earlier vehicles aren't exactly a new discovery as some of them can be found documented on Driver Madness (http://drivermadness.net/forum/viewto..., I managed to find the earlier character models, which weren't documented before! Even very early TK, a never before seen model of Slink with coat and some very interesting placeholder models. Note that in the differences shown about the two hippies, beta files seem to load palette #2 by default, whereas the final files load palette #1.

Also as a side note, I've noticed that Wayfarer Turbo and Torrex Turbo didn't exist yet at that point of development. And it's a real shame that there's currently no way to view the Eurotech Lifter (which also comes with 4 bodyworks!), but maybe that'll be possible some time in the future.

Hopefully one day an early 2005 build will resurface, but so far this seems to be the closest it's possible to get to early DPL content.
