JRTombRaider | [PSX] Tomb Raider 3 (Beta, 05-10-1998) - Cutscene Comparison: Antarctica @JRTombRaider | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
The October 5th version of this cutscene is brighter and (partially due to this) has more noticeable clipping issues. It also has different camera angles, missing items (in character's hands) and some texture issues, all of which it has in common with other cutscenes from this build. Another difference compared to the final version is that Willard's knee area has a white discoloration (1:24).
This cutscene originally had too much animation frame data in the October 5th build (and in even later builds), causing the game to crash during loading. In order to get it to load properly, the amount of frame data needed to be reduced by increasing the frame interpolation. I was feeling curious about this cutscene and wrote a quick little program to handle the frame reduction. The modified cutscene file can be downloaded here: mediafire.com/file/4k6ytytnym4s0se/CUT3-oct5-fixed.PSX/file
Use a tool like psx-mode2 to replace CUT3.PSX with this file in your October 5th disc image.
