Team Plants or Team Zombies?? 🤔🤔🤔
Zombies. Is that even a question?
Team me
Team Plants
Zombies
Team plants 🍃
Fun Fact: 14:32 Coffee Bean is present as an unlockable plant in the Chinese Version of Plants Vs. Zombies 2 and he has wings in that version of the game that are almost identical to the wings used in those placeholder graphics.
Along with some promotional art for the first game where the coffee bean has wings
Trie fact
The "waveside/wavecenter" graphics are actually used in the final game in the Aquatic Zen Garden and Zombiquarium minigame.
It’s interesting to see this much content for a game as simple as placing plants to shoot zombies
i see you everywhere what the fuck!!!11
Thing is, that almost all games had a developing journey like this.
PvZ is just one of the games that reveals enough unused content to have sucha big insight. :3
I know right
@@YanntastischGERthat is kinda nice
Some corrections I'd like to point out:
5:17: I should mention that the filenames for these were called "Caltrop_body(#)_stone.png" which "Caltrop" was also seen within the Spikeweed's regular graphics, whic possibly means that was Spikeweed's early name.
8:10: This is in fact an early diamond, but I'd also like to point out that the Slot Machine minigame uses this, as well as the DS version of the game uses this as the main diamond sprite.
8:21: This is the pearl seen from the Java version (aka the version of Insaniquarium from 2001) that is dispensed by the "Niko" tank pet which is currency in the game for levels, and based on PVZ using Insaniquarium's code internally, this would have also been used for currency as well at some point. I would say the build featured in the 2005 screenshot probably used it.
8:35: You are right about the turnips being implemented for a period of time (as seen in the 2005 screenshot), but this specific graphic was seen in the 2010 presentation in the July 2006 build when a plant is eaten by a zombie as this "afterlife" sequence or something. I would actually like to have seen this specific animation be remade into the final game as there is several little quirks inside PVZ that made it unique.
10:00: I was trying to argue with the people at TCRF about this being used, but I didn't get any response from when I last checked. I do know for a fact that this is from Insaniquarium and is in fact reused for the Zombiquarium and Aquatic Zen Garden by the top.
10:45: Notably, these are just rescaled Gargantuar hands and so are the legs that were also covered.
11:05: I also tried to argue that these are possibly not Zen Garden cursors and that these are used in the 2005 build(s) for growing the plants. The reticle crosshair cursor is also possibly not for Cob Cannon, but I do know this also was taken from the Java version of Insaniquarium for shooting at aliens. Perhaps these COULD have been later reused, but we don't know yet.
14:03: I did upload some concept art a little while ago that there was 2 different Blover variants in mind, one which would slow down zombies and one which was the Blover and had some other names such as "Guster," "Windclover," and "Blawver" to which the designed concept of Blover was seen with dizzy/hypnotic eyes while the regular "Clover" variant just had regular eyes. So perhaps maybe they either had those 2 variants in for the game or George Fan (the main game designer, as well as being the original concept artist and the guy who also drew the early crude graphics) and Rich Werner (the chosen artist for the game) just gave in and the Clover variant was scrapped entirely and redesigned Blover with the Clover appearance. I should also say that stuff is still being searched like concept art for example, and I found some a while ago and posted it on the site and I think you should check the Prerelease page again as there is SEVERAL plants that were not put into the game.
14:31: It is noted that in Rich Werner's concept designs for the plants when he was hired as lead artist, he also gave Coffee Bean wings as well based on George Fan's design. I guess the leaf did make more sense considering we don't info why George Fan gave him wings to being with. I guess that also can be a question to ask him during some sort of special occasion.
14:50: On the PVZ Wiki for PVZ2's concept art and prerelease material page, I DID see a screenshot of an alleged early PVZ2 screenshot that showed off Cob Cannon, but looks to have fit on a single tile. The same screenshot also showed an early design for a Gargantuar in George's "crude" art style for PVZ1.
I would also like to say that I was in contact with a Beta tester of the game a few months ago and they were able to send me titlescreens of the Lawn of the Dead 2007 Halloween build, and the Zom-Botany build in full quality and uploaded them over to TCRF. I'm still on the hunt to try and get more info as best as I can, maybe get the resources out or potentially even get a prototype or two.
your dedication to this game is amazing, thank you so much! I hope tetra gives you the attention this comment deserves
this is so cool, ty for ur service
PvZ as a series is still so underrated. Garden Warfare 2, PvZ 2 and Battle for Neighborville, although they have a very dedicated group of followers, are still extremely underrated.
i agree so much
People hate most PvZ games that aren’t pvz1 or garden warefare 2 but if you think that’s underrated then ok
@@THGMR-ox7sd I mean in general for GW2, it could’ve had a much bigger player base if more people tried it because of how good of a shooter it is. Within the PvZ community, it’s probably a bit overrated
I think PvZ 2 and BFN are both cases of “If EA and Popcap would listen to the fans, it could be great, but instead they decided to just do their own thing which lead to a large portion of fans losing interest.” Essentially, fan input good, microtransaction bad.
@@THGMR-ox7sd those are the people who haven't played anything else other than these two.
The grid pattern was likely for testing the screen resolution of UI elements on various devices. If the resolution is correct, the pattern would appear normal. If the resolution is not correct the lines would create a moire pattern.
Source: I've done this.
That "winged" coffee bean is also seen in some early official artwork for the plant too, and the fact that that specific piece of art comes up so often suggests that the design change was made last-minute.
6:37 this could be lines that the animation takes place on, for example: The red square is the pivot point and the lines signify the axis where stuff can move. Very good for making simple and smooth animations
This is definitely a Tetra bit gaming moment. I loved it when Tetra bit gaming said “It’s tetra bit gaming time” and tetra bit gamered everywhere
14:18 In the Chinese version of PvZ 2, the Coffee Bean is used and has wings. It’s meant to wake up plants put to sleep by the Archmage Zombie (I think that is the name of the zombie) that appears in the Dark Ages.
Here's a Fun Fact: The Unused Graphic for The Coffee Bean with Wings was Way Later used in the Chinese version of Plants Vs Zombies 2 which has the Coffee Bean as Version exclusive and they even made it look like Part of the Game
11:54 these are actually for the loading menu, cause flowers grow as the loading turf moves.
I was playing through the old beta build and the explodo nut was there but when planted acted just like a wallnut (might have been a placeholder for the bowling mini game as you could have needed the plant unlocked to have it shown in conveyor belt levels) and the giant wallnut with no extra hp from what I’ve seen and doesn’t cover 2 lanes either
In the 2008 Bloom & Doom build, it's stated to be a plant that explodes when a zombie eats it. But after a zombie eats it, it does nothing. As the bowling game goes on development, the devs used the explode-o-nut for the mini-game. So it's an unfinished feature in the beta. The OG explode-o-nut has been later on revived as a PVZ2 plant.
How much did it take you to type this
@@RealUnify thank you 🙏
The rocks are used in a similar way to the unused theory in PVZ Garden Warfare 2, when you jump to a high area and a regular zombie can’t reach you, it will chuck a rock and run off.
Honestly, I can look at these all day. Plants vs zombies is just such a great game.
so happy you're making another video on pvz! i loved it as a kid and its great to see it getting attention again :)
The fact that I, Zombie remained in PvZ1 is such a huge missed opportunity. A way to make I, Zombie levels would be so, so much fun.
Fun Fact: I, Zombie is actually present in the Chinese Version of Plants Vs. Zombies 2. Unrelated to I, Zombie, but the Chinese Version of Plants Vs. Zombies 2 also has a level editor/maker.
F,o,r,r,e,a,l,b,r,o,.
3:40 I'm pretty sure they used the button graphics from Insaniquarium as placeholders for PvZ.
Also we got the amazingly funny snorkle zombie minigame based on it, I didn't even know. xD
10:09 i thought it as part of the conveeyer belt lol
always glad to see more pvz covered on here!
Notice how all of the old lane related stuff (the rocks, leaves, cannon reticle, etc) all seem to be equal height.
It seems as if the lanes were originally going to be seen at a different angle, but it was later swapped out for a more over-head view, likely to make it easier to differentiate between them.
11:26 The fact that I immediately knew this was from a Detara challenge before I read his name really shows how many times I watched each video he made.
Fun Fact: 14:32 Coffee Bean with wings design can be seen on the console box art of the game.
9:32 AMONG US
Placeholder Door is Sussy 😳😳😳
6:45 pretty sure this was for testing lines of the squares when the plant is gonna planted
Your videos have started making me want to look at these kinds of stuff in newer/older games speaking of older games are we gonna see some lost bits on any older games?
13:01 L A D D E R
Here are things id like to say, the stone and leave grid Textures are probably just decoration since it would be weird having 1 whole lawn that detail abd the other just plain, also the coffee bean fly animation probaly got scrapped not that late before release since my old pvz GOTY cd still has/had the render, even in the polished style!
Maybe the golden shovel when dig up a plant give back some suns( this make more sense than dig up 3x3 area that might content needed plants)
This video came out when I least expected it!
Amazing video! Keep up the great work!
his ass did NOT watch the video
@@BallGoBalling and? already know its a banger
@@BallGoBalling i just watched the video
I love watching videos like this, it’s just so interesting!
_Take A Shot Every Time He Says: _*_"Early"_*
I should mention, the unused design for Crazy Dave actually IS used, but not in the way you would think. You can actually see it in the Wabby Wabbo Music video. while his outfit in the final game isn’t present in the video, The mouth placement and ear length are noticeably visible.
I believe the graphic at 9:50 could be a unused design for the conveyor belt in the final levels of each zone
You should call the sunflower "Plant baby"
Plant baby :D
It would be interesting to see what you could find in terms of the shooters
yea probaly theres more unsude content than you cover
Tetra, you make the best lost bits videos
10:02 Tetrabit you've done it again. mistaking textures. that is the placeholder graphic of the conveyer belts you see in the game. also you thought that Noelle graphic is unused. it's actually used for the December cutscene. also I like your channel keep up the good work!
7:17 that door looks more likely to be used as a placeholder for the screen door zombie which explains why it’s angled that way
Awww that Thriller refrence was so sick :3
One interesting fact is that in the source code for the beta just before final game release, all the code for the bee projectile is still present and can be added to any custom plants
Ayy more lost bits! Awesome!
You should do a lost bit about the og valve games that would be really fun to watch
Having to collect different parts of seed packets reminds me of Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 character varients
The grey and red box is probably a testing for planting plants or mushrooms on tiles thats what I believe. That black wavy line is probably like the conveir belt instead of the water it kinda look like that.
6:46 maybe it was something to indicate that a plant was gonna be placed on a tile
Missed opportunity to use the "brains" sound effect from Plants Vs Zombies rather than the coin one 😂 But other than that, good as always! Interesting stuff!
The wave side and center are used in the aquarium
That crude door graphic had me choking on cereal 🤣 can't believe amogus is still funny.
📮
The dead turnip was actually a death sprite for the plants since in the video of the beta of July 2006 when the zombie eats the peashooter that graph comes out when he finishes eating the plant and is also a leftover graph from the beta of 2005
ua-cam.com/video/-glAggZndX4/v-deo.html
14:43 CORN! :O
8:01 aye that's me :0
I think the stones/leaves textures were just for decoration
In the mode where u can create ur own set of notes If u type in monster and a couple more things u can access to it
14:15 coffebean: COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE!
oh boy new plants vs zombies lost bits video!
5:30 might just be imitater
7:08 Used for Zombie Movement Patterns.
I have so much fun from this game on my pc and Nintendo DS, even today.
I've loved this game forever
5:00 this could be used for when graves are destoryed or could have been an early version of daves mold coloniese seen in pvz 2
also the torn up seed packets were probably just a way of seeing the recharge
I think a PVZ:GW or GW2 video would be fun, as long as one or both of those games have been datamined enough.
Already have tons of videos for those games plus bfn on a guys channel
Edit: LT dark ring
5:04 or that was supposed to be used in the unsude mini-game when you have only 3 lanes to plant but zombies comes on every 5 lanes
P.S Shoutout to whoever was a cool guy in the chinese team of pvz 2's chinese version,we actually in pvz 2's chinese version get to see coffee bean have wings,these wings are for reviving plants in the game
4:44 maybe it was an early version of the dirt patches in the tutorial levels and the rocks would be cleared
Yooo I have been waiting for this
Right when I heard "limbo" my inner GD instinct was like: *Which is the right key?*
We are getting closer to him covering the Garden Warfare series.
5:50
maybe when you use golden items the plants give you more money?
and then for the golden plant food its possible that it would make the plants grow faster
If you plan on covering Plants Vs Zombies 2 next i will recommend Starting with the First Build Released Worldwide those being From versions 1.4.2 to 1.7.2 because the game was a lot different compared on how it is today
Tetrabitgaming: Water can plant plants
Me: Y E S
That rock lane graphic seems familiar.
Perhaps it could have been used in early levels when the other lanes aren't unlocked yet?
An Awesome fact about the unused Diamond graphic. It was used in the DS version of Plants vs Zombies!
Alright, who's going to tell him the gold watering can has a 2x2 radius?
Rayman 4 (Raving Rabbids) have a lot of unused game, I recomend take a look! :3
THE EPIC TETRA MAN IS BACK!!!!!🎉
9:32 I love among us and this will probaly haunt me to end of my live
When I watch videos of Plants vs Zombies, I have to tap the suns. I feel an unstoppable urge to do it. But it is no use. I am tormented by the illusory sun.
I would absolutely die for Tetra to do a Lost Bits on Omori
How about you also do a lost bits series dedicated to the garden warfare 1 (or maybe the others) because there were two beta builds shown to people of the gw1 so maybe there's lots of content lost.
Another video about my favorite game
FUN FACT: the orginal idea was pva (Plants vs aliens)
:O
Tetra I love your videos! ✨ It's always so interesting to see what cut content we missed out on and every time I watch one of your videos I feel so happy and relaxed, watching you after a very bad or stressful day is the best medicine no joke xD ✨ I also hope to preheps seeing one day a lost bits video to the harvest moon series, it would be interesting but anyway, I'm looking forward to your next video! ^^ ✨
Thank you for the kind words!
someone said the unused wave graphics were used for the zen garden water plants area/zombiquarium background
Fun fact: the 4 lost survival endless are playable in the mobile version of pvz 1
14:54 zed.
Please do all other plants vs zombies games
Just a small Question... would there be a chance of making a Lost Bit video of "In Sound mind"? Is there stuff to cover? I'm really interessted if there is!
you should do one for angry birds classic (2009) specificly the mobile port
Oh yeah, the funny plants that shoot zombies game.
next time tetra does a pvz lost bits (Maybe some garden warfare or pvz2 lost bits) he should replace the mario coin sound on his intro with the collecting sun sound effect from pvz
A iceberg lettuce actually makes sense. I wish It was in the first game
9:31 GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD
Man, some of the early graphics remind me of the DS version
tbh i like the old balloon zombie where hes hanging on for his life better than just being tied on. the new one looks stupid
Correction: the golden watering can has a 2x2 radius
Have you heard of the yoshi's island prototype tetrabitgaming? You should check it out in the next video I would love to see you cover it
2:23 it’s not a sun it’s the daisy or what ever they are called u know the ones that produce the coins that why they used to be on there
Do the shooters next
