Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a sandbox action game developed by Rockstar North, originally released for the PlayStation 2 in October 2004 and later ported to the Xbox and Microsoft Windows. In the gallery below you can see some early screens with beta differences, noticed by Sir_Brando and bazaaboy44:

Image 1: Big Smoke and and Sweet in Beta clothes
Image 2: Main charaters in beta clothes; Taken out character on bottom right.
Image 3: Beta CJ face
Image 4: Beta skin and fat CJ; Taken out Grove Street character, third from left.
Image 5: Homies were originally able to follow CJ into buildings, such as stores, restaurants and safehouses.
Image 6: Taken out woman chararacter
Image 7: Hooded Grove Street character on right was taken out.
Image 8: Taken out Grove Street character.
Image 9: Car washes, similar to the ones in GTA IV were originally accessible, but due to limitations of the game engine, they are non-functional in the final.

A “sex mini-game” was removed from the final version, but still hidden in its code (from Wikipedia):

In mid-June 2005, a software patch for the game dubbed the “Hot Coffee mod” was released by Patrick Wildenborg (under the Internet alias “PatrickW”), a 38-year old modder from the Netherlands. The name “Hot Coffee” refers to the way the released game alludes to the unseen sex scenes. In the unmodified game, the player takes his girlfriend to her front door and she asks him if he would like to come in for “some coffee”. He agrees, and the camera stays outside, swaying back and forth a bit, while moaning sounds are heard.

After installing the patch, users can enter the main character’s girlfriends’ houses and engage in a crudely rendered, fully clothed sexual intercourse mini-game.

Thanks to Solidshake, Sir_Brando, PCloadletter and bazaaboy44 for the contributions!

It actually looks cooler that way. If they didn’t put that “colors” thing so much, I think it would’ve been better. Just look at CJ, he looks more like a real dude.

I’ll finish the rest.

Heres a video showing some beta differences with screenshots:

There was such a frenzy when this game was building up to release which contributed to so many fake rumors by kids. I remember the manual being leaked after the game was stolen from a distribution truck. That was just perfect.
