Proto:The Simpsons Game (PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Wii)

This page details one or more prototype versions of The Simpsons Game (PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Wii).

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

To do: Early and unused graphics. Early voicelines and sounds (tons of TTS placeholders). Debugging. Early Cliches.

July 6, 2007 (Wii)

Title screen

A build of The Simpsons Game for the Nintendo Wii was found and recovered from an EA RVT-H hard drive. It is dated July 6, 2007, which is around 3 months before final. Some aspects of this build are closer to the colloquially called New Generation (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) version, and some are closer to the final Old Generation version, which means comparisons in this page will be drawn towards both releases. There are plenty of things to unpack here.

General Differences

Debug Screen

This build by default loads into a debug screen, letting you choose whether you want to "Enable proper menu flow" or not. Choosing No Way will proceed you into a 2nd debug screen, which allows selecting a level to load on the spot.

Special Challenges

When selecting levels in the Episode Replay there's an extra option to do a special challenge, (which was present in the New-Gen version but not in the final Old-Gen version) but it just loads the level like normal.

Extras

In the Extras Menu there are 2 cut options, "Stats" and "Interiors". Only "Interiors" can be selected and shows location interiors that are also seen in the PS3/Xbox 360 version.

Berserk Mode

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Find out if Bart can actually do this ability.

If you have enough power, you can do an ability not seen in the final called "Berserk Mode" which doubles your attack power for a short while. For some reason Bart is the only character that doesn't have this ability.

Unused Maps

This build has a bunch of interiors and an early design of Springfield in the form of a cut and unused bowling minigame. The interiors can at least still be found in the New Generation release.

Test Map

There are two similar test maps named Metrics.wii and M_and_L.wii. They differ in some objects and characters that get spawned and the characters you get to control. Metrics is played with Homer and Bart, and M_and_L lets you play as Marge and Lisa.

Metrics.wii	M_and_L.wii

Interiors

Church Interior

The church looks mostly the same, the main difference being a missing desk by the main door, different floor color and there being only one staircase in the main room. Chur_Int.wii

Early interior	Final interior

Krusty Burger Interior

Similar to final, but lacking the 2nd fryer behind the counter. It also has Jimbo Jones in the building, whereas in the final New gen version only the Squeaky-Voiced Teen. KRUS_INT.wii

Early interior	Final interior

Kwik-E-Mart Interior

The main difference in the Kwik-E-Mart is a missing shelf and some other objects. KWIK_INT.wii

Moe's Tavern Interior

Objects on the tables such as glasses have actual transparency in this build. In the final version they're opaque. Moes_Int.wii

Early interior	Final interior

Police Station Interior

There are no buttons to open the jail cells. Using the Player > FlyPlayerWithoutCollisions option through the debug menu shows that there is no collision inside those cells yet. POL_INT.wii

Early interior	Final interior

Heartburn

Heartburn, also known as Homer Bowling, is a cut minigame where you play with the Homerball, go through a track and end by crashing into a pile of Springfield citizens. It uses an earlier Springfield Hub as a base for this minigame. There are many changes found here, but this will just show some of the main recognizable buildings.

Note: Since this map also has a bunch of stuff like barriers meant for the bowling minigame, the Wii screenshots are taken using the Player > FlyCamera debug option inside the game, to get a better view.

Entrance This door which you can't enter in the final game is accessible and takes you to the HeartBurn minigame.

Hospital Location Near the Simpsons house there's an extra road that leads to the Springfield General Hospital which doesn't exist in the final game. It is fully removed and replaced by the Springfield Retirement Castle.

Episode Replay

The in-game level select uses early Xbox 360 screenshots as preview images, and some of them remained somewhat similar to what the retail New Generation release had. Five of these survived hidden in the final game, but the rest didn't. They're stored in Frontend.wii\graphics\ui\menus\levels\ as single 512x256 textures, but in the final game they are stored in Frontend.wii\graphics\frontend\ as 256x256 textures, with two of the preview textures combined together. They have been split apart for this.

Early Videos

This build only has one cutscene, which is an early draft of the Around The World in 80 Bites (80b_01.bik) cutscene. This cutscene, unlike the final game, was animated in 3D similar to the DS version instead of in 2D like the show, as well as having different lines and different camera angles, which uses placeholder voice actors done by in-house EA employees. This early cutscene also contains the song "Oh Yeah" by Yello.

Early cutscene	Final cutscene

Every other cutscene uses the Rebellion logo as a placeholder. It can also be found in the final build as rebel.bik.

Data Management Textures

The textures for the game in Data Management of the Wii console are simple placeholders.

Development Scripts

The root of the disc contains 8 batch scripts from internal development. The two starting with build have an option to fetch the latest assets from a Perforce depot.

build_moments_rpf.bat appears to be a script for copying assets for Wii Moments, and making a build of the game with them!
