The prototypes – which were shared by preservation group
The Hidden Palace – include unfinished or demo versions of classic PlayStation games including Shadow of the Colossus, Final Fantasy X, Okami, Ratchet & Clank, God of War and more.
In a live stream held on Saturday, the group spent six hours playing through some of its highlights from the PS2 prototypes, including E3 demos of Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex and Shadow of the Colossus, a prototype of Capcom’s God Hand, and debug versions of Final Fantasy X-2 and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2.
The group also played preview versions of Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly, God Hand, Ratchet & Clank (2002), Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc and more.
The full drop also includes E3 demos for God of War 2, Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus and Viewtiful Joe 2, and preview alpha versions of Def Jam: Fight for NY, Burnout 3 and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3.
A huge list of all the PS2 prototypes included in Project Deluge can be found on Hidden Palace’s website.
Most of the software included in the dump can be played using an emulator on PC and the group says it’s currently working to add even more software via a future drop soon.
