Overview
- A buyer in Edinburgh found a Grand Theft Auto IV Xbox 360 development kit with a Rockstar North assets sticker inside a £5 car boot sale console.
- The owner extracted the contents and shared a file dump online, and fans say the data is hard to turn into a playable build so work now centers on cataloging assets.
- Early finds include alternate radio tracks, a ferry model, extra weapons, early character models, and files tied to a rumored Z Resurrection zombie minigame.
- An eBay listing for the console was removed for intellectual property reasons, and the owner is now seeking a sale reported between £400 and £800.
- Former Rockstar North technical director Obbe Vermeij said ferries were cut late in development due to collision and AI problems with people and cars on a moving vessel.
