The footage of the level shown above is therefore taken from the prototype. While all of its assets still exist on retail copies, and remain unchanged from the April 8th build, the game freezes when forced to load the level due to its older format, rendering it unplayable.
The level is available as DLC in the remake.Īn eye-catching subterranean environment, this unused level was present (and also unused) in the disc of the April 8 prototype build. Long, a bit brutal, but it looked great, and had a real rhythm to it." I wish we had put it in as some kind of Easter egg, as it was an awesome level, one of my favorite in the game. "It was too hard and we didn't have time to make it easier. Programmer and Naughty Dog co-founder Andy Gavin provided commentary for its exclusion from the final version: This will take forever.Īlso, the "TESTING PASSWORD SYSTEM" title flashes. Since the game tests any combination of the 26 gems, any combination of the 2 keys, and a random amount of levels from 0 to 26 (even though the actual game has 30 on the main path), the total amount of different passwords it can test is 7,247,757,312. Despite the instructions given, no text is printed to the console (no, not your game console) if an error occurs.

The test runs forever, and if a trial fails then a few "no operation" instructions execute and the test simply stops running.

The game tries to test one password per frame, but since the whole process runs through a lot of code and heavy operations, the game can only test around 20 passwords per second. The password test involves generating a random set of game stats, encoding them into a password, generating the inputs for the password using an "auto-password" system used exclusively for this test, type in the generated inputs, decoding the password, and seeing if the stats came out the exact same. Once this screen is entered, you cannot leave it, as none of the buttons do anything. Spoiler alert, the password system functions perfectly. level, if the game screen (GOOL global 18) is set to 14 (memcard screen) and GOOL global 1 is set to 10, a password test screen can be accessed, meant to test the integrity of the password encoding and decoding system.
