The Cutting Room Floor
The Cutting Room Floor is a site dedicated to unearthing and researching unused and cut content from video games. From debug menus, to unused music, graphics, enemies, or levels, many games have content never meant to be seen by anybody but the developers — or even meant for everybody, but cut due to time/budget constraints.
Feel free to browse ourcollection of games and start reading. Up for research? Try looking atsome stubs and see if you can help us out. Just have some faint memory of some unused menu/level you saw years ago but can't remember how to access it? Feel free to start a page with what you saw and we'll take a look. If you want to help keep this site running and help further research into games,feel free to donate.

Developer:Obsidian Entertainment

Throughout the years since its creation, theFallout series has been burdened with many hardships, from multiple canceled sequels to the bankruptcy of its original publisher. With each installment the series was passed from one developer to another, until it was handed to Obsidian Entertainment where currently several big names fromFallout andFallout 2 are employed.Fallout: New Vegas was the result.
While taking its engine from Bethesda'sFallout 3 and much of its content fromVan Buren (Black Isle's regrettably canceled third installment),New Vegas is very much a successor toFallout 2 in terms of story and atmosphere. And despite its modest (compared toFallout 3) budget and development cycle, it managed to please both long-time series fans and newcomers alike for the first time sinceFallout 2. Being a western RPG (and an Obsidian-developed one in particular), there are more than a few screws loose and a couple of unused parts they forgot to take out of the box. TheNew Vegas edition ofG.E.C.K. makes it easy for anyone to slice open the game's belly and play with its guts.

Featured File
Streets of Rage 3 is a rather divisive entry in the series and has several hints of being rushed. Moreover, the game had much larger changes to its international releases than the two previous entries.
Shown here is one of the cut motorcycle-riding levels, which includes a small Sonic cameo. The players are not visible and while the proper sprites are still present, these no longer load correctly without hacking. Moreover, the pointers have been corrupted in the international releases. These can be accessed through a PAR code to access a disabled level select screen.
