Concept art thread?
Whats the best concept/design book you've read related to vidya? Double plus good if you can provide a link to it.
What was the biggest disappointment when you discovered an idea that was dropped from a game?

finding out that the countryside in Daggerfall was supposed to look like this and that the cities were supposed to have balconies through which you could break into the buildings.
the final game just feels rather flat in comparison.

You should be able to.
Bethesda even spoonfeeds you on how to set up dosbox to play them.

GTA2 had some pretty sharp concept art. I don't know of any artbook, though.

Thank /mmg/
The Legacy Collection also has some, a lot that you can see in the book but in higher res, and some stuff that's not in the book too

MGS artbooks are always good. Shame the MGS3 one never got released.

Woah, thanks anon. I don't know if this is already in that book, but here's an article with some concept art from Megaman Legends.

Looking at the concept art for games without the technology to really accurately represent the initial vision before it gets scaled down is always very interesting. And there's a ton of 8 and 16-bit era games with very cool concept art and very underwhelming in-game graphics derived from them.

They ended up using these character in Dino Crisis as NPCs.
