Hitman: Blood Money is an action / stealth game developed by IO Interactive and published by Eidos Interactive in 2006 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360 and PC. Vicente noticed various differences in the beta screenshot that you can see in the gallery below:

Less persons and guards in the level “You better watch out”
Agen 47 disguised as a bartender in the same level (does not happen in the final?)
Beta 3D model for Lorne de Havilland (sitting near the fireplace)
Different concept design for Lorne de Havilland
Different concept design for Anthony Martinez
An unknown enemy
Agent 47 had a slightly different face
Beta Flatline level (different layout?)
Beta model of the optional target called “?” with a tattoo on her back.
Vinnie’s wife in the pool, in the level “A new life”

Thanks to Vicente for the contribution!

Batman: Arkham Asylum [X360/PS3/PC – Beta]

Batman: Arkham Asylum is an action-adventure stealth video game based on DC Comics’ Batman for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. It was developed by Rocksteady Studios and published by Eidos Interactive in conjunction with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Comics and was released in 2009. [Info from Wikipedia]

Throughout Batman: Arkham Asylums development the developers were shooting for a hard T rating. Based on early screens it seems that they intended for the game to have blood, but it appears that they had to tone it down to get the rating that they wanted.

Also, as we can read at Game Informer, it seems that the combat system in the game was changed at least 3 times before chosing the final one:

Combat went through three distinct revisions – the first one being a full rhythm action game! The second one was prototyped in 2D, which popped up whenever you got into a fight, and involved colored circles bashing into each other. This actually formed the basis of the final system.

FMMC noticed that Batman’s gliding was impaired when his cape was torn in the beta.

Deus Ex 2: Invisible War is a FPS developed by Ion Storm and published by Eidos Interactive, released for Windows and Xbox in December 2003. Some of the old beta screenshots show various differences in the characters and levels or places that do not seem to be in the final version (probably a tech demo / test level). The HUD went trough many changes too.
