Revisiting the unused content in GW2 - a GW2 documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 лип 2024
- For those who are curious as to what lies beneath the surface, what was going to be a part of the game's content line up at some point in time, but ended up never seeing the light of day, and now forced to remain dormant, unused, scrapped within the files, for the rest of time. In tonight's documentary, we shall once again cover what never made the cut, what lies within the game files for the rest of time, what could’ve come to the game, as well as learning why, as to some of the content featured here, never made it at all… but this time round, I won’t be alone in covering this lengthy topic, for several friends also join me for tonight…

@Dusty Playz Easier said then done.
the imps ship can be seen flying above the zombie base
Hey LT just a small detail in the unused buf bot has almost the same detail like on the bfn bolt blaster
The more of this unused stuff I’m seeing the more I want an official GW3. There’s so many good ideas that went unused here!
Unfortunately the possibly of a GW3 is next to none
Which were in fact planned for BFN, but unfortunately nothing that BFN planned would see fruition.
Round of applause. The sheer fact that I’ve looked for 20+ hours into stuff like this and haven’t found even HALF of what you mentioned here is absolutely incredible. Amazing job!! 👏

@@myidolisshrek1 no one asked for you to laugh at this and it wasn't a joke. What was the point of this reply?
Was it to get another reply?
Seriously, you replied to a ONE year old comment.
Why, like genuinely, why?
@@pustota7254 i love causing drama 😋
Nearly 42 minutes long... and I can confidently say that at least 50 consecutive hours' worth of work have gone into this project... I hope you all are ready for it
It better have atleast 1 mention of Chair
@@cardboardtoaster2169 and a cube
I was born ready , bro
This is gonna be good
What filter do you use for these documentaries?
watching the old maps be zombified was just a dream I always wanted, and seeing it almost completed but canceled makes me both in awe and sad
Gonna say this now in advance. Apologies if the audio quality varies throughout the chapters. This is presumably since everyone uses different microphones so the range of quality may vary between the narrators
You need help LMFAO
@@kim_lingling you need to sort your life out! ☺️
I like to think Zombopolis is actually the complete zombie main street. Especially with the Brain Street bridge at the near-beginning
So sad Brain Street never made it in. When I first saw it in the trailer, I wondered how to access it, and I was sorely disappointed when I found out it was scrapped.
Considering the zombifying old maps idea; It’s kind of disappointing that we got the regular gw1 version of wall-nut hills
Huge thanks for the opportunity to be a part of this, amazing job with the final video!
Ay, no problem, thank you for your great performance!
Can't believe the zombiefied GW1 maps were scrapped. That would've been awesome to play in
8:38 you know it’s kinda sad. The max rank is 5455 and twilight chomper had an extra 45 levels. 5455+45= 5500 (5501 in gw2 because it skips one when you go up a rank plate) so if twilight chomper gave you levels we could’ve had that 55th rank plate in the game :(
this definitely was worth the wait. 40 minutes of unused content I've never seen + 2 of my favorite pvz youtubers (Vyle and Xavier).
Great job.
I wish the robo soldier zombie was playable. Because he is so cool. And he would be the arch rival of the bbq tree man.
Yeah. Hover goat is interesting but the plant team essentially got an entire miniboss as a teammate
It’s strange that he isn’t playable because when you kill him, the game says “vanquished zombie hero”
Yeah that would be awesome.
@@LOOKHERELOOKLISTEN7542 there also a giga football zombie which i think shows that too
16:29 I actually got to see Dave's model for a split second during what I think was the moment he was going to come rescue me and my team during an Ops match. For some reason, it appeared in front of me before I think when his speech bubble would show up. I don't know if I got the screenshot lying around.
I knew about main street but zombified, but seeing that driftwood was also getting the treatment I was so shocked. I wish these were added as a guy that never got to play gw1 in its prime. And then it was gonna be called brain Street and I want to cry
6:24 it's sad to see the stat bar unused it would've been useful to see which character was the fastest without having to play the character itself
The photos of the Zombified main street looks very good and should have been released instead of walnut Hills but this whole documentary is super awesome and I enjoyed it hope to see more stuff like that
The reason that toxic Citron does not have a beam weapon is because it would be green and look too much like both solar beam and toxic beam. Too many green beams in the game would get confusing
I honestly just wish most of these things were in the final game. The GW relics and maps are the thing I mostly wished was definitely added in the final game because it would have been cool to see those Zombie theme variations. I wondered if there was a idea for a Wall-Nut Plains version since they didn’t show a zombie version of that.
The booster bot's model was part of the engineer turret in bfn.
4:58
THEORY: Those are time shards in Infinity Time, The time shards are the only thing in the entire game I can possibly think of that bear any resemblance to those green crystals.
It makes me so sad that these were scrapped it’s also such a shame because I would love like 99.9% of these additions aswell
3:44 I don’t think that is Main Street, I think that is crash course. You can see propeller blades in a familiar shape to the propeller blades on a crashed vehicle in the crash course loading screen.
4:04 the flying vehicle is actually in the game, it can be found in the z-tech factory map
this is main street
watch the video to the end first before making a comment 37:13
its confirmed that main street was supposed to have zombie version in gw2, also crash course is much smaller map
I had high expectations for this video but it was so well put together and had so much interesting unused content documented in it that it not only met those expectations but exceeded them. Your one of the best PVZ GW2 content creators easily and this video proves it.
Not gonna lie. I totally forgot u asked me for that clip, and i was like... I swear that's a vid of mine XD
Can't wait sir 🙌
I'm impressed by the amount of effort that went into this documentary. You all did a great job!
Also in garden warfare 2 there was going to be maps where they were fully controlled by zombies and fully controlled by plants like the night and day modes for maps in garden warfare 1
This is an absolute masterpiece. I can easily see the amount of work and determination put into this.
And I have to admit, I have not felt this excited for a pvz related video in ages.
I thought I knew all the scrapped content in this game but I now stand corrected.
What I would like to say is well done with this documentary, I enjoyed it a lot. 😊
Great work and a big applause for you LT! That’s why I love your channel. Keep these things coming!❤
This was best documentary yet ! Where before you only scratched the surface you went deep this time
I can't believe how far you have come man. You make these videos so well.
Thanks. It’s been one hell of a journey these last few years
Absolutely Incredible stuff!! I love to see that this game still has such a passionate community after all this time and despite the discontinuation of the game’s development. I love this game to pieces and am so thankful to see content like this. I am still hopeful that one day this game will be revisited and revitalized. Such a great game and great community
A real, solid gw3 would be a dream come true...
Well now I'm just sad all of this stuff didn't make it in.
38:43 Every time I passed that bridge for the past 6 years I’ve always had some sort of gw1 nostalgia and now I know why. (Same thing with the train area that gave some heavy jewel junction vibes)
This sounds like one of those bot comments you usually see but I honestly appreciate the effort that went Into this video, I didn't realise it was 40 minutes when I clicked on it and was pleasently surprised 20 minutes in when I realised I was only half way though.
I like to think I know alot about this franchise but there's quite alot here I've never seen or even heard of.
Genuinely can’t wait. This is gonna be amazing!
i believe the unused models for magni and power lily were planned replacements for sunflower's heal flower, so you could trade out your heal station for either a defense buff or a damage buff to yourself and nearby teammates
this is just my speculation, btw
this has to be the best unused content video, because it covers so far everything there is
Dude this surpasses the original other video by miles it's good hearing hyperion's voice again as well as the new stuff left out of the original video definitely looking forward to the next one
The fact that they actually planned torchwood and hovergoat variants is sad, i hate that they scrapped that as that didn’t make much sense. They hyped it up as if it was a variant but it was just costumes. :( interesting was that they had so many ideas for the game but due to budget constraints or just deadlines they weren’t able to fully add it in, like the 5 bosses that just have a few icons left, they’re really unique in that we haven’t seen anything like it in the pvz franchise, I wonder why they got scrapped and what they planned to do.
4:55 the green crystal graphic could have been intended to highlight the location of time shards in infinity time
Amazing job, I love these documentaries, keep us the great work! Will we get more of these?
Plan on doing more of them absolutely! Just gonna take time since I wanna make sure I cover as much as possible
@@LtDarkRing also lt, I’m the guy you use to talk to on Discord, but I forgot my password :(
Looks like the entire gw2 team was called off out of no where, as everything was just randomly cut off from being worked on. seems like Ea or Popcap wanted another game so randomly called the entire development team off to go on bfn
The amount of time an effort to the documentary has definitely paid off in the end 👏
This video was great Man!
Such awesome stream, thanks you so much
this is the best video you ever did good job man
I see magnifying grass only really working in gnome bomb (maybe a few areas in turf) since ops ai always attacks pots unless scaredy is hiding then there’s only a chance it feels like
this video is great, everyone did awasome work, congrats
16:32 If you go to garden ops, and start the game, you can see Crazy Dave in his Caravan through the window. It is hard, but you can see him.
Wow, amazing documentary Lt.
This was an amazing watch loved every second of it.
Something that popped into my head that connects both Main Street and Zombopolis is that they include the attacking team stopping a powerful weapon from launchin
Would have been cool to see main street in garden warfare 2 though
i just got back into pvz gw2 from playing thousands of hours before and these are great videos for relearning or just learning information i think i awesome or interesting. these make me want gw3 even more with all the unused content
This was a GREAT video! I wish they had kept in the Main Street map, it would have been cool..
imagine the 'come back later' meant GW2 will get a update after so long
The fact that there’s so much more unused content that meets the eye makes me wish that there was a gw3 so some of this stuff could see the light of day
2 things to say: The icon for Juice robot is in GW2's files and the "cactus spike abiilty" icon is in GW1's files
This is the most epic video I've ever seen, this is one of the biggest community projects in pvz history, incredible job 👍👍👍
If we ever get a gw3/4, we should get everything from gw2, bfn, and gw1, including most of the unused content (like the Zomboss fight in gw1).
Can’t believe I actually managed to make it to the premiere in time, glad I was here to see one of the longest documentary to date.
If they updated plants vs zombies Garden warfare 2 the imitator would be a perfect last update
Im so glad they kept the og peashooter design and not that snail of a class.
Honestly, a different objective for the end of each Garden Ops map would be a really cool idea.
absolute W thank you so much for creating this video
This was a awsome video thank you so much!
Fun fact, in the mission where u rescue an iron citron from a cage to hunt a shrimp, but that shrimps name in the game files refers to "wolfnpup" considering the missions were never an update to the game it seems are renegade imp started development as the game released, that or the name of the ai used in the mission was changed.
really appreciate the gw2 content!
Appreciate the me and big Dave at the beginning:)
Ur a legend mate. I hope one day someone will make it so we can play the zombified version of main street. Also seeing crazy Dave in person is uncanny after seeing the 2d version of him all my life.
Really great vid, I enjoyed it
The gargantuar was supposed to be playable but was scrapped and used the hover goat instead
Well that was an experience. Loved it!
@LtDarkRing
You might not see this but the Overtime music in BFN was actually supposed to be used in the flag minigame in the backyard battleground! I remember I heard the overtime music go off and I quickly was like "What the?!" I never heard it again after that. I think PopCap ended up removing it
Ive watched this video over 15 times and still love it
'Brain Street' and having the idea of having all the GW1 maps turned into zombified versions gave me idea for a PvZ shooter game 'Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 3' or 'Plants Vs. Zombies: Zomboss takeover'. It would basically have all the variants in GW2 but also have some more, it would also have the BFN characters but with variants, perhaps there is also another 3 new characters for each side as well, Torchwood, Hovergoat, Wizard, Tv Head, and Wildflower would all come back, and Iceberg Lettuce would be finished and put into the game. My idea is that the zombies have taken over all of the PvZ world. There would be something similar to Giddy Park maybe, or it could be the Backyard Battleground. Since the zombies have taken over most, if not all of the PvZ world, the plants would be in some underground hidden camp out from the zombies, still secretly alive, while the zombies assume they're gone and they have won. There would be story modes that perhaps would show the plants taking back some control of the world. For example, PvE for the plants would be them doing some missions that are fun, like BFN's PvE, and one completed, perhaps their area is grown of control. I have two ideas for the zombie's PvE. One is that they turn against Zomboss, considering how he has treated them so badly for so long, but the other idea is that the zombies find some plants doing their operation of trying to take back control, so they end up finding their underground camp and disbanding it so the plants have to scatter to a new camp. I'm guessing that the GW2 and GW1 maps would come back Zombified. Maybe a few of them are still normal, like imagine a 'Suburpolis' where the plants have taken over all of Zombopolis, and the ending zombot could be the Driftwood Shores Mega Sunflower being powered by plant food. Sorry for the long comment, just was thinking this could be a cool idea, maybe it could just be a spin-off for if this ever happened.
It’s a shame I won’t be here for the premiere since it premieres at 3am for me because I live in the Southern Hemisphere, so I won’t be here at the premiere. But I can’t wait to watch it! Gonna be the biggest documentary yet!!
bro the usic makes this sound more eerire than it is, good job dude!
It's not misspelling, it's the map of the unused TRUE final boss....
BRIAN
You know I love these videos
A bit of digging through stuff with frosty editor and i noticed that if a player spawns in a renegade mech it has 500 health, but an ai spawned mech and an ai renegade imp has a boss amount of health, which leads me to believe he was ment to be playable
3:00 i believe that, that zombot head is the same one from the first point in cactus canyon in the first game
Fun fact: the damage buff radius was actually still used for the king yeti boss mode
I feel like they skimped out on the Story Mode npcs. Sure, i can accept that Dr Zomboss would send 2 scientists and a potentially pre-recorded video to help you on your way, but meeting just another Dave-Bot instead of Crazy Dave himself just seems a bit off knowing that the Plants and Zombies are basically polar opposites.
Looking forward to this
This is my favorite seris by far to dig into the files of the game to uncover every singel small detail of this series that could change our futuer and rest of the series as we know it.
( If you are new to this channel and watch this video every thing from last documentary about pvz gw2 unused content was also coverd here so you don't need to watch last documentary but you should because it was amazing)
6:30 this also shows 8 characters (other than boss mode) so this means they were planning an 8th class since the start of development
I wish boss mode was still here, that was so fun
As a person who writes down ideas about games in the shower and likes pvz I have an idea for the SB going super sayan animation
Karate brains:
Fill a meter by meleeing people
(Now with karate chops)
After filling it you can spawn 3 karate zombies and gain a speed boost
But you only have 125 health
Great video
I really wish we got PVZ GW1 maps that were zombie themed! Any of them would’ve been better than Wallnut Hills.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEW DOCUMENTARY!!!!!!!!!
5:57 is probably the old version of the shards in infinity time likely either a old version or may have changed colours in different stage example the green shard could've been an icon for the green stage of infinity time and probably was other versions like rainbow red etc
Btw sorry it was 4:57
Another 2 thing that zombopolis kept was was the giant rocket bot it was placed on top of the building in capture point 4 in zombopolis and the disco burger joint area was also made into the disco diner you can even spot the disco diner building having a almost the same layout as in main Street burger joint area the only thing that has changed was the removal of the burger where the plants would go to get high ground and camp there (in alternate universe I can see a bunch of pirates and soldiers camping there) imo since we had garden center turned into a zombie environment for team vanquish then we should have gotten a remake map for turf
This is gonna be the next monaliza , hyper as hell bro.
20:46 you can find him as a boss in the backyard battle ground after going into the zombie base as a plant
its really cool how they used the booster in bfn by combining the two. but i still rather had the two of them seperate
I think that Super Brainz animation was for Brainium Basher
I noticed that crazy dave is in the drivers seat when flying the rv
Such a good video
